L'évolution de l'Inde (en anglais)

s India on the move ? This is a good question which we studied many documents in the beginning of the year. First of all, we are going to present India today, then we’ll see what changed between before and now, at last we’ll determine what India is going to become in the future.

In 2011, India’s population represented 17.5% of the world’s population (1.2 billion), life expectancy was only about 67, which is low. We could count 55 billionaires in India whereas, at the same time, 42 % of Indians lived below 80 pounds a day in 2005, as we can see, inequality is extremely strong in that country between the haves and the have-nots, there is a huge social gap. The Indians are mainly Hinduism (80%). Moreover, 600 000 girls go missing every years and in three generations, more than 50 million women have been selectively eliminated through infanticide, dowry-related murders and other gendercide practices. We can only be disgusted with all this.

Yet, we can have noticed many shifts for several years. Agriculture and Industry are sectors of activity that are declining in favor of the services, population is fast-growing and the percentage of people living below 80 pounds decreased from 60% in 1981 to 42% in 2005 and cast system is over. Nowadays, everyone can go from poverty to wealth, which is a huge shift. India jumped full-force onto the microfinance bandwagon and the industry has been growing at 70% annually over the past five years. Many Indians stemming from the poorest villages use microfinance to extricate themselves and their families from poverty. Earlier, people wanted to leave India while today, people want to stay.

What’s going to happen next ? India’s population is going to continue growing until 1.7 billion in 2050, cities will become more and more modern. Hopefully, inequality will be lower and most people will be on an equal footing. Gendercide pratices will disappear and all together, the Indians will work to build a better country as they respect equality of anybody wherever they come from. Therefore, they will be glad of their country and what it became.

To conclude, India is on the move, it’s beginning better, inequality is falling while
