Issues in India

Environmental degradation " In nature there are neither rewards nor punishment,  there are only consequences "           Environmental degradation is a process in which due to human interference environment and its elements get damaged in every way. This cannot be measured directly but the degree to which it can affect ecosystem. Our weak anticipation of human progress and its effects on environment which can lead us to environmental degradation. Deforestation, E-waste, lowering level of ground water, uncontrolled and intolerable industrialisation, poor farming, use of fertilisers, unbearable mining and use of rivers as a gutter are making our earth no more than hell. As we know environmental degradation is not curable disease which can be only prevented. We are already late to move our efforts in right direction. Still there are chances to save earth (being optimistic). For India environmental degradation costs 5.7% of GDP. Our mammoth population is putting pressur

Child labour in India "There is no trust more sacred  than the one  the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring  that their rights are respected,  there welfare is protected their  lives are free from fear and  they can grow up in peace. " - Kofi annan           Why child labour exists in first place....? How one can force 'a sunshine ' to work for 12 hours of day, 7 days of week for few pieces of bread...? To study, to play, to rest......these are their birth rights and we as a nation not able to protect it. Using child as a labour is stain on humanity. India is no good to children. It has long history and still it exist. Child labour is living hell for children. Child abuse, child labour, child slavery are become prominent issues and which should be eradicated.            As per the ministry, around 12 million child labourers are present in India. But working NGOs shows confounding data that around 6

  Education System in India     " Education should be exercise. It has become message " - Martin H Fischer            Can we judge our education system by only literacy rate ? Being on this very earth answer should be NO. In our country after independence government had focused on educational inclusion which was represented by literacy rate. And having  literacy rate more than 60%, at least , it saved us from embarrassment. But what about the qualities and skills that has to be provided by education system ? Anticipating ourselves as developed country we need drastic and innovative changes in education system which will focus on upgrading students in his or her realm of study.            Today we have standardised school board and syllabus but we don't have standardised teaching. Teacher is the prime line which connects quality knowledge and students. In India this line is not properly managed and education system has become weaker by time. Another issu

Communal Violence in India           "The lawlessness of communal violence is a monster with several faces. It hurts all in the end, including those who are primarily responsible for it" - M.K.Gandhi (15-09-1940)            When two or more religious sects get into violence over the issues of mistrust in and hatred about religious beliefs, language differences, regional differences or all in one cultural differences, among them, then we call it communal violence. From medieval India to this date, India has suffered from communal violence due to political unrest or political policies. Back then due to foreign invasions and now political policies of representative parties of India. No person willingly dive into this religious turmoil.           As per data provided by home ministry of india , from 2005 to 2009, India has registered total 648 deaths, 11,278 injuries and 4030 incidents of communal violence. On average 209 people dies every year in India be

Women empowerment in India "If you want something said ask man;  if you want something done ask women." -Margaret Thatcher           5 Oct, 1789 women marched to Versailles to demand their rights. This was the movement by women for women to empower themselves and gain equal status as men had at that time. Same way , when we look back at India's history then we come to know that before Gupta period (319AD-540AD) women were treated respectfully but after that her status deprived and she was supposed to be helper for her man. This changed in 20th century while India was unitedly fighting for freedom. This freedom fight produced many feminist who supported women and gave first thrust to women empowerment in India making Anne besant, foreign socialist, first women president of india(1917). Now we are here in 21st century still struggling to give women equal status only due to our conservative attitude.           According to 2011 census, India has sex rato abo

  " We can't always build future for youth            But we can build youth for future. "                   - Franklin D Roosevelt                Youth is like perishable goods, if we don't utilise it on time, it yields less. So being a young nation,India is aiming to become a developed nation.This time it is not disillusion but a dream that is being envisaged by young dreamers. Every nation wants to stand on shoulder of young generation because it neither fails nor hesitate to offer. India's young generation really wants a sovereign, social, secular Republic democracy.From Neharu to Modi every PM of India urges for the contribution of youth.        According to the 2011 census, Population of India in the range 15-64 contributes to 63.6% of total population. Which makes India one of the youngest nation in the world. But,to the most,what bothers India is its unemployment rate. Which stood at 8.8% in 2013. If we compare this with developed countries,
