The observation “Experts point out that the industrial sector has been the driving force behind liberalized India's amazing growth story, and are worried at the potentially dangerous implications of low investment for Kerala's progress.” is intriguing.

There cannot be any uniform criteria for development in the present economic and political atmosphere in India. India is a country which has still 7,50,000 families working as manual scavengers and talking about AADHAAR for all.
