We hear about recent trends in urbanisation. The rate of growth of people in major Indian cities has been more than what the administration had predicted. This brings huge challenges to the existing infrastructure & resources in these cities. The pushes & pulls finally starts to show in different ways, most of them are not very pleasing. Take the incidents in Mumbai - people turning against north Indians. These and other 'sons of soil' policies in other cities are not very pleasant & has the potential to bring India to a near civil war kind of situation. And by that the growth stories of one of the most promising Asian economy is going to come to a stand still. There may be a few countries in our immediate neighborhood who would be happy to see such a turn of events. However it will be a serious blow to us & for the world at large. With the kind of politics & administration that we have in the country now, it will be next to impossible to recover in a generation or two from such a position.
