What are the main development problems that India is facing nowadays?
Education and illiteracy, poverty, lack of basic infrastructures and the high density of populations are some of the major issues. However Nitin underlines the fast development of villages, where 65% of Indian people live. He believes there are actually better living conditions in the villages – people living in villages don’t suffer from the pollution in cities; they have betters roads; they benefit from many awareness campaigns and educational programmes. The fact that different languages are spoken in different states in India makes development difficult at a national level. But Nitin doesn’t believe that promoting English as a national language would make it any easier. The promotion of Hindi instead would be a very good solution. Indeed Hindi is close to local languages spoken in villages since all Indian languages derive from Sanskrit. Thus most people in villages know common words in Hindi, but not in English. 17) What help do you expect from individuals and governments abroad?
