Seventeen Years of Globalization has given us

• Widening of rich-poor divide
• Second largest number of billionaires in the world co-existing side by side with 77% of the population having to survive with Rs. 20/- per day
• Rural neglect in the name of speedy urbanization
• Curtailment of agriculture for rapid industrialization
• Displacement of rural poor to make way for urban growth
• Increasing violence due to large scale unemployment and disenchantment
• Insatiable urban consumption with rural starvation deaths
• Creation of a wealthy class unconcerned with how the other Bharat lives
