          Sir, this year our Independence Day on the 15^th August assumes a new significance not only because it is the/ silver jubilee year of our independence but also has a new meaning of independence has been created by the emergence/ of Bangladesh.  I want to report that the emergence of Bangladesh created a new situation and a new future for/ the whole of the Indian sub-continent and for the resurrection of our lost soul.  Our Government has been preparing  some/ programmers for the observance of the silver jubilee of our independence. I want to remind you that during the last (100) 25 years, our people might have enjoyed political freedom but it is a fact that economic freedom of the/ common masses of our people is still far from being achieved; it is far beyond reach. It may sound/ as hyperbolic political propaganda if I say that during the last 25 years the rich communities have become poorer. This is not my observation this had been borne out by facts and I/ shall give you those facts now.  The total national income of our country from 1960 to 1969 was Rs. 1.6 (200) lakhs of crores. Again these twenty percent at the top who constitute the rich community, their share has been/ Rs. 1.26 lakhs crores. And only 54 lakh crores have gone to 80 percent of our people- only 17/ percent of our national income has gone to 60 percent but 83 percent to highest echelon of/ 40 percent of our people.  Sir, these are not my figures.  This is a figure calculated from the data/ given by last four Plan documents. This figure is borne in recent statistics that has been brought forth by (300) Mr. Minhas, a Member of the Planning Commission and also the National Council of Applied Economics.  That is the Government/ organizations that have made sample survey.  They have also said that 70 percent of our national income is being/ enjoyed only by 20 percent of our people in our country.  I say that the rich communities have become poorer. This is borne by the statistics, facts and data that have been/ given by the Government through their four Five Year Plans.  I will draw your attention to another point.  In 1962, (400) the Planning Commission observed that by 1975-76 all sections of the Indian people will attain the minimum level of consumption.
