SOCIAL DISPARITY IN REFERENCE OF INDIA

One of the peculiar features of Indian economy is the presence of dualism. There is a big difference between the incomes of an owner and its employees. Risk and availability of investment although bring bigger fortunes to the owner, difference of earnings still, is much more comparing to the western countries. This resulted huge social gap between them. Rich are getting richer and poor are striving for their basic needs.
In the past, cast system was the main factor of social discrimination. Now money has taken that place. Social status of a present man is usually evaluated through his wealth which was once considered by his intellect. This badly affected the social ethics and values of Indians. Most of the middle class families are striving to provide their children education that brings better returns in monetary terms instead of value education. So what is happening as a result, we are expecting better from our surrounding and government, without sacrificing our own liberty, hence getting much more selfish. We've spent generations fighting against British rule for our basic needs. So when we got freedom and got the opportunity to earn, we became greedy enough to become corrupt. Our political and administrative corruption is the result of that. Also, being a citizen we adulterated the system by playing our part as a corrupt employee and a biased voter. Now the condition is; we cry for our fate without imagining that we made this like that. A democratic country like us undoubtedly is ruled by the people selected through majority. We however don't look interested on the power of majority. That gene formation in us due to the suppression by British for generations led us to money minded. Dualism is also the outcome of that. Rich are interested on their profits and poor are fighting for their daily needs.
We the people, the power that preamble of our constitution has provided us is not understood to a common man. That can only be understood by means of education and precisely, by value education. We always want to be developed like west possibly that’s why try to get socialize like them without considering that we've our own way of cultural development. We can’t develop over the corpse of our culture however bad things of our culture are needed to be abolished. We praise the west for their development without considering that a country becomes great as much as its citizens are. We don’t want to be great but expect our country to be great. We don’t want to share our profits with our subordinates and want to abolish poverty from the system. Dualism will prevail as long as we have such mentality.
Democracy like us is a joint venture of we the citizen. Unless and until we understand and behave in a unified way, development will always be the main concern of country. It doesn't matter how rich a country is or how much facilities a society is enjoying, thing that matters is how much bread is shared between the citizens. Sooner we realize, earlier we are developed.
