Problems in Today's India by Comrade Arjun
India has a lot of problems which we want to solve. But what are they? This article will discuss some of them. These problems shall be discussed in very brief here but I will make full-fledged articles on them in future. Some of these problems are interconnected with each other. I have not ranked these problems, they are in a random order because we believe that every problem is almost at an equal level.
Environmental Exploitation; the capitalists illegally take lands, exploit them, exploit the environment etc. The government too passes laws nowadays which are harmful for our biodiversity. And pollution is still a huge problem here and nothing serious is done to tackle it here.
Communalism; religious divisions have become sharper increasing violence crimes etc.
Lands illegally being given to capitalists; forest lands, tribal lands etc. are given to capitalists illegally mostly at low costs for the personal benefit of the leaders. Many villages have been drowned for making dams. This is the issue against which the Naxalites are fighting too.
Tax cuts for capitalists; while the poor and the middle-classes are being burdened by taxes, the big corporations are getting tax cuts, in the name of development, in the illusion that the money will trickle down to the poor.
Army’s brutality; the Indian Army personnel kill many innocent civilians in Kashmir etc. without any reason and that too brutally. This thing has been proved by various organisations too.
Religious appeasement; almost every mainstream party tries to appease a religious community especially Hindus and Muslims while disregarding the future of other communities.
Election rigging; elections are being rigged in some regions. A video recently surfaced too which showed a single man giving vote to a party many times.
Low Food Safety Standards; Indian Food Safety Standards are one of the lowest, giving chance to foreign companies to sell low-quality thing here like Lay’s uses Palm Oil in Indian Chips whereas it uses Vegetable Oil in American Chips.
Suppression of Free Speech; no matter what political party comes to power, it suppresses the free will of the people.
Corruption; one of the biggest problems in India, there is corruption everywhere here.
Fake Promises by Political Parties; a party before getting elected makes many promises but when comes in power, forgets what it itself had said before.
Spread of Misinformation; India ranks on of the highest in spreading misinformation and that is a truth. Misinformation is spread everywhere here for political benefits etc.
Lack of Direct Democratic Participation; here I am not talking about voter turnout, I am talking about Direct Democratic Participation. But this problem is everywhere in the world so I will not just blame India.
Faults in reservation; though reservation policy, aiming to increase the standards of the poor lower castes is now very unregulated. Not all lower castes are power, some people of lower castes are richer than the general category but still they are given unfair advantage. Thus reservations should be given on the basis of income census too.
Weak Education System; our education in comparison with other countries, but this problem will be discussed in detail in our future articles.
P.S. - I wrote this article some time ago and please tell how is it written.
