Forbe's 100 - But Bharat's 25%

Recently Forbes has published the list of top-100 richest people in Bharat. Mukesh Ambani is at the top of the charts again. But the news really excites me is that the net worth of top 100 people is $276 billion, which is one-fourth (25%) of whole Bharat's GDP. Just 100 people has that much money. Rest 1.2 billion people in this country is sharing rest of the money. Unbelievable, but true. They are the real source of money for political parties during election and otherwise. This is the reason why most of the policies our government makes is for them who are already rich.

Whenever I switch to any news channel they talk about more than 9% GDP growth for industries but when it comes to farmers the kind of growth we talk about is just around 2-3%. Why can't we talk of similar kind of growth in agricultural industry also. The reason is simple. Farmers are poor and have no power too. No one is ready to listen to them. Just to tell what they want, they have to call for bandhs. They cannot ask for high-level meetings with government. They cannot talk to finance minister directly. But government is just one call away from these big businessmen. Recently we have seen Delhi bandh in protest of sugarcane policy.

I am not against of the businessmen. They really worked very hard to earn the money and being in such a position. But my question is for government because it is supposed to work for whole Bharat not just for handful of people. Why can't they bring the policy which will help farmers too which inturn will help to bridge the gap between 1.2 billion and just 100 people.
