Missing Development Debates in 21st century

Follow my footprints is what has been happening while we agree to thinking development processes in 20th Century. The world as it is busy with playing with mind and body of the people while treating them as object then a subject for their developmental efforts. The millineum development Goals setup by the UNDP (United Nations Development Program) has set the criteria for the converting these objects into subjects but the governments are not willing to see that way. The urban and rural India is apt with the visible and physical changes in the development notion, and forgetting the human and behavioural changes in the communities and societies. We are missing debates while implementation of the programs have become non critical of their acheivements and third parties does not exist who can question the authority. Once parties who are implementing includes the class people belonging to similar socio-cultural melieu its difficult to appoint a judge for the evaluation of the programmes. The citadels of powers in the democracy has been built over the two decades with little serious thought can be given to the notion of 'human face' of the development. Its better to be talked about by economists who anyway have taken control of the social, physical and cultural thought processess in the country. Though they are assisted by politicians and legal professionals. The litrary adventure of the societies in expression of the systems are limited and scope of improvisation is limited. The electronic media or its paper version is not the place to be thinking about the expressions about the failures or success of development since the shortlived nature of presentations.

The researchers and institutions are failing in following independent line of thought while the governence of the system is being left unquestioned. The rights of poor and marginalised are being looked from the close door discussions and hushed manner rather then being open and serious. Talks about the forest dwellers, slum dwellers and informal workers across the country is limited to few icons of power and media extension of public information about the situation is not being provided through popular mediums. Thus a systematic failure in checks and balance on the 'development' issues in the country.
