Hundreds died and thousands injured in India in 2013 due to building collapses. Some fall while being under construction and some after occupation. No earth quakes such as the ones that shake Japan are in operation here. Just the corruption at every level and the hurry to glory often leads people lose their lives. Even cattle don't lose lives in this manner and on this magnitude any where in the world. On one side missions are there for Mars and on the other side we don't have the technology to cement our buildings that can stand for at least 30 years. But for the disaster that shook Japan no country suffered like this in the past year. People flock to cities to score more and to improve their economy and hence the dense population and the demand for housing.
Unless- as Gandhiji preferred- we build the rural India- there will be no India.
