India Shining???

We see the articles every day on how Indian economy is booming like there is no tomorrow. And how great a super power we are going to be in all the news papers and web sites. But we all know the reality that hides behind this.
It is quite cotrasting that you can get a 15Rs aquafina (pepsi co) and kinley (cocacola co) and other branded mineral water in every nook and corner of the country, but how difficult it is to get some clean water in the pipes even in the most affluent areas...
When would India be a great place for every one to live happily with all the basic amenities like water, shelter, food, clothing, hygeine, education and self respect.
