India is a developing country since it got independence...presently india is celebrating its glorious 65 years of independence.....but why isn't it yet developed ? is it because of this growing population and the resulting poverty? Na..Na..its not at all the reason...
the actual reasons are three according to my view...
1)caste feeling(or caste domination)
2)corruption and
3)black money...
In parts of India we Indians see that the people of higher castes dominate over the lower caste...and they suppress the talents of the lower caste people.In the early days of independent India the agricultural land is possessed only by landlords of a certain dominant caste and all other lower caste people had to submit their land to these so called land lords and the lower caste people used to work in their own submitted lands as workers earning daily wages and somehow managing to make a living.
This means the wealth is concentrated only in the hands of a few..! It is this so called rich... richer... richest people..that save their overflowing money in the form of black money in some swiss banks and all without payng taxes to our country...and the burden of this taxes is born only by the poor and middle class citizens.
But what about those land lords successors? they were born with a silver spoon....with lots of money...good diet...good health...good education....higher studies...and best luxurious lives...!!
The poor...still in that same old stage where their ancestors used to be....where is the scope for development? where is the scope for social justice? the rich search for more and more ways to save their excess money...and the poor still search for the means to earn for livelihood...!!
Do you feel that its a situation that used to be there only in the past?? definitely not.Even today we find caste related issues in the news..here i would like to add one of my own experience--"a couple of months back one of my colleague was searching for a rented house.many of the flat owners asked like -"what caste do you belong to?? " oh god...i got shocked...what does a house owner have to do with the 'caste' of the rent payers? this is just an example...there are many more such situations where even the so called 'well educated' people get crazy about their caste and all that stuff...!!
Thank god...God is somwhere in heaven and not on earth..otherwise people would have irritated asking him "whats your caste?"

The day India can abolish caste will be historic but with the kind of politicians we have, they are not going to abolish it, they are going to perpetuate it as it feeds for their kind of politics.
ReplyDeleteyes deepak sir...well said.May be we cant change everyone but we can change ourselves and our family members and friends thoughts at least...a small hope...for a big change...
DeleteAbolishing / correcting Caste economics - is a dream come true. We can instead focus on tangible developments like Economic progress, Social Development. When as an individual, society, school, organisation - we develop - we contribute to the greater pie.
ReplyDeleteLets focus on Literacy, wisdom will follow.
Madam i agree with you.but you have used certain terms like economic progress and social development those are all possible only when we have perfect uncorrupt leaders that strive for the countrys development instead of developing their swiss bank accounts...
DeleteThought provoking but can we really do anything...
ReplyDeleteHI brother...thank you for stopping by and reading my blog.Well...yeah we can do something.we can change any of our friends or family members or relatives thoughts and we can abolish corruption...when corruption is not there and the black money comes out of swiss banks...it will be used for our countrys development...
DeleteMost people from different communities seem to get along fine. We’re proud of ours and accept that others are naturally proud of theirs. But there's a handful in every community who are extremely suspicious of those differences. They are in the minority and yet they are the ones whose voices are heard over the peaceful majority's. Isn't that strange?
ReplyDeleteyeah mam well said...!! thank u for reading my blog...!! but hey let me answer ur question.."The pain behind a wound is felt only by the one who suffers it..." did i say it right mam?
DeleteHi KayEm,
Delete1. why we shud we think minor major when we all are human beings what the minors did great what a major not.
2. how many of the people who r availing the caste reservation are utiliZing it well.
in such case y we shud distinguish the castes. because of this so many loosing their opportunities those r real worth enough. so my opinion there shud not be any caste discrimination itself..
HI suresh nice to see ur blog and ur thoughts...
ReplyDeleteand by the way related to the the reasons u said something like corruption and all etc.. but these all came only because of population i can say.. because when there is less population employment will be there every where and so there is no point of thinking to bribe(not only money etc...) somebody to get offer, like these many issues.... are there we can not distinguish the reasons for the above everything is linked.. but we can solve the issue one by one.. by having appropriate thoughts as well it shud be implemented then only we can see a developed India.
Hii Madhavi..Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment.Yes Population is the main reason.Well said madam..!!
