SOCIAL EVILS
A curse to the Indian Society.
I ndia, the world’s second-largest populated country, after China has

most of it’s people living in rural areas. The population of India is extremely
diverse, comprising almost entirely peoples who have migrated from other
parts of the world long back ago. Dravidian peoples, who came to India
from the Mediterranean region some 5,000 years ago, now constitute about
25 per cent of the population and live predominantly in the southern states
of India. Indo-Aryans, who account for nearly 72 per cent of the population,
came from Northern Europe somewhere around 3,500–4,000 years ago.
Later migrations included peoples from Central Asia and China as well.
Even now many people still migrates in India. And why must not? India has
a fantastic culture. As diversity prevails in India from a long way back, there
has been a lot of cultures existing in India. There are over 1100 languages
and dialects spoken in India and the country has not declared any of its
religion as it’s official one. Hence people, here, have the right to follow the
religion of their choice. There are a lot of festivals been celebrated in India.
It would be better if I say, Indians celebrate a festival, the every next day.
People, here, are not just enjoying multi – cultural nature of India but also
enjoys a high level of economic development , high standard of living,
democracy, suitable geographical conditions and much more.
Now you might be thinking that India is the best place to live with no
social problems. But wait! The reality is not like this. These were just some
case where India is famous for.... but there are even much more things
which forms a negative impression about the country. These are what I
would call as THE SOCIAL EVILS.
SOCIAL EVIL
These SOCIAL EVILS are killing the beauty of the nation. But what
does the term means? According to Bartleby Research, “A social evil is any
action or consequence that is not in the public interest or which is anti-social
and works against the development of society. Social evils cause damage to
the society or its citizens in physical, emotional or cultural form”. In other
words social evil is that one thing which is responsible to harm the society as
well as the people living in it, physically or emotionally. Caste system
domestic violence child labour poverty terrorism rape are some of these
Evils which are prevailing in our society and destroying the mankind.
It is very shameful for the entire mankind that Science and technology
is progressing day by day and achieving success every now and then but
even still, the mankind is unable to destroy such social evils which are
prevailing since from the historic period. Even in India these devils are
having their rule both, in urban as well as in the rural regions.
One of such social evil which is ruling the Indian society from the
ancient Era is the caste system and problems of untouchability. The Indian
society had the varna system in the ancient times. People were divided into
4 category of caste, based on their occupation they choose. They were
even allowed to change their caste and do the work of the person of that
particular caste. This 4 categories into which the ancient Indians were
divided where popularly known as Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and
Shudra. None of the above 4 categories where term to be SUPERIOR. But
later, due to some corrupt minded people, no one was not allowed to
change their caste and the people for the lower caste where termed as
untouchables and were given very worst treatment.
This continued even after the Independence of the country. And for
the same, many leaders fought for the rights of these untouchables and
tried to give them a proper position in the Indian society. But even today
most of such people have not got a proper position and are still treated in
the same manner. This partial behaviour has now become a m very big
hurdle for the Indian society and as well as for the Indian Constitution.
There are many such cases, even today, which are related to the ill
treatment given to the dalits. There are some region in India were even the
politicians as well as the policemen does practice and promote this. Don’t
you think how shameful is it! The Havoc of this social evil is not ending
which is now becoming a big crisis for us and if not stopped, it will surely
destroy the entire society and mankind.
Other very hatred Evil is terrorism. Terrorism is not just prevailing in
India but all over the world. Many people or to be specific many use are
getting attracted towards terrorism. What I think is that terrorists are not
humans, they are the actual devils, living in this world with an intention to
kill the humans. Terrorism is something which has started in the modern
era. But its Kingdom is spreading very rapidly all over the world. It is one of
the major Global issue, which, if not stopped, will thoroughly destroyed the
entire world. Terrorists are not born terrorists; They are made terrorists.
One of the other leading problem in the society is that one thing
which is commonly seen everywhere. If you thought of pollution, then you
are absolutely correct. Due to rapidly increase in industrialisation and
urbanisation in almost every parts of the world, the spread of pollution is is
highly increasing every now and then. Pollution is a main cause of certain
diseases which are so fatal that they are even causing death.
The worst thing is that it is not just harming the mankind for also harming
the environment and it is assume that if pollution keeps on increasing
rapidly, then the last day of our mother earth is not far away. In India
reasons like Mumbai Pune Delhi Bangalore are so polluted that there are
many people who are shifting from urban to rural so that they could get
fresh air to breathe and cool environment to stay. Don’t you think that it
sounds weird?
Many women in the Indian society are stressed and harmed crucially
due to Domestic Violence. It is such a bad practice which is still seen in
various part of our society. A woman, who is the source of your birth, who
is one of the important pillar of your house, who is your wife, your sister,
your mother, your girlfriend, your grandmother, your everything, is been
treated in such a bad manner that she gets confused whether she has
married to a human or a devil! And in addition to, it is not just practice in
rural areas but also in certain parts of well settled regions. I don’t get do
you know that why these men treat their wives as a toy! Aren’t they humans
too? Then why? What was their fault? Not just domestic violence, but girls
in India, face a lot of trouble from this society.
Right from the birth they are face with Female infanticide. Then no proper
education, rapes, humiliation, torture, dowry, and a lot more. India has
progressed but still the society doesn’t respect women and assumes then
as a puppet of their choice.
Rapes and murders have now become very common thing in the
Indian society. This is very shameful thing for all of us that talking about
such very crucial and sensitive topic has now become very common and
people knows a lot of such topics. Each and every newspapers, at least
contains, five to six murder or rape cases, included in there articles.
We often say that India is a peaceful Nation. And yes it is. But on the other
side it is also counted in one of those Nations which has recorded a lot of
Murder and rape cases. Reason for killing someone where is from one
person to another. There are even cases recorded which had a very
unrealistic and illogical reason to attempt murder. Is also been observed
that the people from the age 16 till age 42 have attempted most of the
murders.
Moving again to one of the major crisis of the Modern era which is
Unemployment. It is generally seen in the City areas of the society. As we
all know that India is highly populated country and having hundred percent
employment is not possible. This leads to one of the major emerging social
evil, named, Unemployment.
Unemployment is the reason behind lack of development. India has a

tremendous human resource but still has not developed yet. The main
reason behind this is correct use of this human resource which is obviously
not possible because distribution of population and Industries is not proper
in the country.
Due to unemployment, many youngsters from both, urban as well as
rural areas, are getting attracted to gambling as well as many of them are
getting addicted towards substance abuse. Substance abuse may be of
drugs consumption, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and so on. It is
also been observed that many teenagers are getting attracted towards
such addictions. This Evil has not been partial towards the people….. that
means both, the rich and the poor, have got trapped into its web.
Substance abuse is so dangerous that many families have lost their
children, their father, their loved ones from them. The trap of this addiction
is so worst that once a person gets into it, he or she will never ever come
out from it. In addition, he or she will get more and more engaged and
addicted towards it.
There are certain cases registered in India which even said that many
intelligent and scholar students have even got attracted towards this and
have ruined their life. This can be called as one of the biggest trouble in the
society because it is mainly attracting the young generation into its web.
And if a nation wants to progress then it must save its young generation.
This was about the addiction but along with many people are also so
attracted towards gambling. This gambling where is from region to region.
But there are certain people who have lost their entire money and
everything due to gambling. It is mainly been played by the unemployed
group living below the poverty line. It has also been observed that some
people have even sold their closed ones, just for the sake to earn money
and win the rounds in gambling.
The worst and biggest social evil is poverty. Poverty is prevailing in
India right from the rule of British. The rule of British has brought India in
such a worse condition that even today India has not yet recovered from
poverty.
Poverty, in India, is been increasing day by day. Lack of job

opportunities, lack of shelter, lack of education and a very low literacy rate
are some of the main causes of increasing poverty in India. Poverty is also
being one of the most difficult hurdle for the Indian economy in its growth
and development process.
It is not like India is just facing these problems. There are several
more of them. It’s very disgusting that India which was once a nation of
peace, love, joy, happiness has now turned into a nation of fear, hatred,
anger and insecurity. It is not that government is not taking any initiative to
destroy such social evils. But they, can’t do it alone. They need the help of
the citizens. You know, nothing is impossible in the world and these are just
some problems of our nation which can be solved if we would think so.
These social evils when lot started by our mother nature. That was us, who
created these evils and now we will be the one who will end it. Yes it will
take time, but let us atleast start!
And We, as a citizen, a proud citizen, must contribute to destroy
these evils.... before they destroy us.
