Inequality in India

When I say inequality I am not talking about the government distinguished forward, backward and most back ward communities or the scheduled castes and tribes or rather do I mention here about the good and bad men around. I don t like to beat around the bush, lemme put it point blank it is just the insane society in multitudes found in the platforms, streets and roadsides and nasty slums of almost every sophisticated well developed metropolitan cities of the country.
It takes a lot to handle embarrassing situations of small kids rubbing your pants for little silver or piece of your food stuff when you stand in the depots for buses and autos or even in railway stations. The poor kids are left to beg intentionally and of course some are trained to thief people too. These unfortunate set of poorest of the poor community are their in bulks and their strength overall in the country is really alarming. Yes there are more than 6.5 crores (sixty five million people) of roadside dwellers all over the country.
Can you believe it????
Yes it has increased considerable in the last 3 decades in it is predicted to increase more and more……
When India is just the third biggest powerful nation in producing top class scientists and doctors to the world community ,
When India is just the sixth biggest powerful nation in their best military arms and ammunitions power including nuclear weapons,
When India is just enjoying a booming economical sector in the past 10years especially with the effect of globalization which yielded to huge investments into the country and increased the growth levels upto twenty percent in majority segments of the various industries, why is that still we have to have 6.5 crores of people to starve for their everyday bread and butter. Why not the government or somebody has to look into it seriously and take serious measures to immediately prevent such a sort of imbalance prevailing in the society which is a very big shame to the citizens of the country as well as to the entire human kind. One man to lead a lavish life and the other to struggle to survive when both of them belong to the same soil.
India has topnotch richest big fishes here. Even from the resources point of view India has plenty in store for even the plenty of generations to come in future. One more interesting fact is that all the insanity in India can be completely eradicated once for all in no time if just 5 percent of all the money from those big fishes are contributed or plundered or seized any way it can be. Imagine a society free from beggars, roadside dwellers and people in platform and slums. Imagine decent houses for them with reasonable monthly wages jobs to make them meet their day to day needs with better ease. Is that all something which can just only be hypothetical ? Is it such a greedy ask for the common man to demand for his basic rights in a democratic country which had attained its independence more than half a century ago. If that is true avarice then there can be nothing more shameful than to be a part of such a society. Something or the other should inevitably be done u, me or we as a whole to deal with this issue with all primary importance and sense of urgency.
