A talk about India's current status

Let’s have a talk about today’s state of India’s status.

LITERACY

It is unfortunate to say that after 62 years of India’s freedom, in the 21^st century, that though literacy has improved in India, there are still villages, where illiteracy is prevailing. As per 2001 Census, the overall literacy rate of India is 65.38%. The male literacy rate is 75.96% and female literacy rate is 54.28%.

GARBAGE

It is unfortunate to say that after 62 years of India’s freedom, in the 21^st century, that not all Indians have been educated about garbage disposal. Even if trash cans have been provided people have the habit of littering garbage anywhere. We find garbage lying exactly in front of a dust bin. People are not yet educated about the infection that can be caused by open garbage. Garbage not disposed in the right way can cause so many diseases.

POLLUTION

Due to a wrong way of garbage disposal in some places (such as Burning of certain garbage), pollution and Global Warming has also been increasing.

Why does all this take place?

This takes place because most of the very few Indians, who are educated about Garbage disposal, pollution and so on, are not bothered to educate other Indians who are not educated about all these.

Why does this take place?

This takes place because not all of the very few Indians who are educated about these stuff bother about other Indians. Every person wants to earn their life, keep their family and themselves happy ….though we say, in our Indian pledge ‘All Indians are my brothers and sisters’. They don't realise, that if these issues are not attended to, their future generations may be in great trouble.

There are many things to be appreciated, and many things to be corrected. As Indians, we should correct the wrong things, and improve the good things to make India a better country. So first, we need to learn things properly, and not just say that '...' is right, just because we feel '...' is right, even if '...' is not right.

Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached
