There are lots of evils that are eating India and worsening day by day. If these issues are not addressed, then it might create other big problems for India. I have listed few but major issues that India is fighting with.
Corruption- Unlike other countries, corruption is rampant in India. Tipping point of corruption has passed in India. It is not likely to correct in near future. Tens of thousands of Anti corruption departments and sub departments have been set up by the Government, but of no use. The root cause of corruption in India is, spread of corruption in Indian politics. Unfortunately, it is believed that large number of politicians in India are corrupt and furthermore, many have been caught red handed in many sting operations. It is impacting other departments, Govt machinery, Police, Judiciary, Army and even general public.
Religious superstition- In India, people are quite superstitious and subscribe to various ideologies that are based on prejudices and blind faith. One can find people doing lots of things that can be called sheer superstition. There is no unanimity among most Indians on concepts of religion and God. I could have quoted lots of things which can be called superstitious, but it may make my article controversial.
Communalism- People of all major religions have made India their home and have been living here for centuries. Clashes between Majority Hindus with Minorities like Muslims, Christians, Sikhs etc are very common in India. Gujarat riots, riots during demolition of Babri Masjid (Babri Mosque), 1984 Sikh riots Slaughter of Christians in Kandhmal riots (kandhmal is a part of an eastern state of India) are few of the various massacres.
Unrest in society- People in India get panicked very easily. Indian Media adds fire to the fuel. Few unpleasant incidents in the nation of over 100 Crores population can create hue and cry in the whole country. Religious riots, Casteism ( a mythological concept which suggests that all people have born out of head, chest , hands and feet of Hindu gods.) etc have been responsible for rampant unrest in Indian society.
Political instability- There are various political parties in India that represent Indians. There are always ideological differences between these parties. Some parties are very communal and even say India belongs to only Hindus and rest should leave India or convert to Hinduism.
Law and order situation- Crime is rising day by day and news of rapes, mugging, shootouts, murders, suicides, Domestic violence, Extortion etc, dominate Indian news papers. Corruption among Indian police is rampant and mother of worsening law and order in Indian cities especially metropolitan cities. There are states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and (It is a group of people who are fighting with Government of India to free their land) affected Areas, where almost police control is very less or nil.
Poverty- Many Indians are getting Rich but at the same time many Indians have got even poorer. Farmers have committed suicides in large numbers. Govt have taken lots of steps to prevent suicides, but unfortunately due to corruption, policies hardly benefit them.
Rising inequality of income- Many people may have earned a lot of money, but their percentage to total population is very less. There are still hundreds of thousands of people who are still living below poverty and their standard of living is extremely poor even today. One can see hundreds of beggars on the roads, religious places like Temples, Mosques, shrines, and streets of India. Mechanisation of Agriculture and Drug addiction have made situation even worse.
Naxalism- Naxal is a new word used for those tribal people who are fighting with Govt of India to free their agricultural land which was formerly taken by Govt for the purpose of industrialisation and urbanisation. These people have taken up arms against Government and some of them even desirous of making a new country. These people often kill hundreds of policemen, blow up police stations, and assassinate kin of politicians.
People of India - A big section of Indian society is very ignorant, illiterate and superstitious. They are very hide bound and don’t want to improve their present condition. They don’t encourage progress and development and against new ideas, technology etc.
Terrorism- Unlike other countries, India too is suffering from terrorism. There are many reasons behind this. Lacks of political will power, corruption and other problems have even worsened this situation.
Every country experiences many internal problems, so is India. These problems may be dangerous in future if not solved immediately.
