Sinopse
Development is the basis of every economy and India being the world’s third largest economy has been showing a fast pace in development, especially since 1990s. This chapter of development started right after gaining independence more than six decades back. Based on the ideologies of India’s first Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru the nation started focusing on the development of its rural areas. Development of industries has been given a priority since then. But why is it, that every time there is an effort to bring the country at par with developed world, there are protests all over? In the southeastern state of Odisha, for instance, protest movements have costed the tribals their lives in the last one decade. Forest dwellers in this area have been fighting against the multibillion project of the bauxite mining company Vedanta. Are these resources not important for the development of the nation?, Mahatma Gandhi advocated for the upliftment of the rural people. So why is it that rural citizens are unanimously so much against any kind of model of development? Which lines is the nation really walking on? What happened to the preachings of Gandhi in the land of the Mahatma? It’s Development, Stupid aims to find answers to these questions.
