Are we in 21st Century????

Disgusting!! this was first thought came into my mind, when yesterday, i saw shocking visuals of So called Godmen madly standing over infants and beating Girls and women infront of hundreads of villagers on the name of curing them from evil souls.
The people out there were simply chanting, clapping and singing devotional songs while this mad "Baba" was brutely beating girls and women to cure them from evil souls.
Administration also seemed to have kept their eyes closed and day dreaming some where.

But the way people around him behaving was the most diturbing part of it. Even in 2010, India belives in these things, people worships such fraudulant babas. Administration also get influenced by them. Even though we boast of fastest growing economy in world, and are nuclear super power and we have discovered water on moon, the other part of story is really sad.
People still get influenced by such blind faiths, get affected by religious and regional divide.
Do we have a moral right to be called as Economic Super Power when 30% of our poulation is struggling to earn 1000 rs per month. Can we really boast of IIMs and IITs when 45% of our population is illeterate and 20% of litterate haven't studied beyond primary school.
Can we boast of one of the largest democracy, Where Girl Child is killed soon after taking birth just because she is a girl in many parts of nation, Where untouchabilty and cast and religion based divide still exists in minds of even so called "Well Educated" people.

Got really disturbed.. but then there is always hope and i thought "We Shall Overcome One day... " waiting...... for the day to come soon.
