 Asia Times: Indian presidential address warns of social unrest
NEW DELHI - President Kocheril Raman Narayanan warned on Tuesday, the eve of India's golden jubilee as a republic, that its economic liberalization was widening social disparities and could lead to serious social unrest.
Narayanan said the golden jubilee, being celebrated Wednesday, must be a ''day of honest self-analysis and self-questioning about where we as a people and a society are headed.'' The Presidential prognosis was bleak.
To prove his point Narayanan indicated the way ''middle class plastic garbage'' was being strewn around, the way public servants treat the public, the way children are exploited and the way vehicle owners spew toxic gases into the air.

It is the independence era which saw reforms such as the removal of untouchability, temple entry for Harijans, widow remarriages, land ceilings, swadeshi movement to achieve economic self-reliance, temperance drive etc. Indian polity was generally free from corruption, horse-trading, floor crossing and economic crime as long as that independence generation was at the helm.
