There is euphoria in the whole world about India. India's economy and growth is the talk everywhere. Many revolutions are happening. First liberalisation of indian economy, then software boom and finally telecom revolution. There is a march towards knowledge based growth where service sector will have significant place. India' leadership in the form President A.P.J. Abdul kalam and prime Minister Manmohan Singh is major asset. I have been to the two good city of India .

Hence their backwardness is increasing day by day and class struggle is taking roots. Rich are bent on preserving thier stuffs while poors are forced to take other m
