2 visages de l'Inde.

The 2 faces of India

To what extent can India be said to have two faces?

India is a country in South Asia that occupies most of Indian subcontinent. It is the seventh-largest country by area and the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people. After becoming independent in 1947, India has experienced an economic boom. But then, this suddenly development has created gap between a minority of the population which became very wealthy and a large majority which is operated. First at all we will see the tourist facet of India that the world perceives and secondly the “real” India which is lived out by more than a billion people every day.

In fact, the dazzling development of India has allowed him to compete with developed country as the U.S.A in several areas such as cinema and technology. For instance, we can talk about Bollywood, which is the film industry based in Mumbai, has nothing to envy to his American brother: Hollywood. India is also very active in the field of technology ( à l’image de la ville de ) Bangalore which is known as the Silicon Valley of India. In short, India can be considered as a developed country which does not include the other aspect of India.

In effect, India can be seen in a completely different way. India is growth is close to 10% per year, it’s a record; for all that 80% of the population lives on less than $ 2 per day, studies estimated that half of the Indian population lives in a state of malnutrition. Moreover, as a result of the development a major part of the population decides to move in cities to look for a job, these migrations led to the creation of slums in which millions of Indians live.

To sum up, the developed aspect of the country appears as a showcase but the reality is very different, the major part of Indians undergoes this development.
