Social Problems, IndiaSynopsis
In modern India, several social problems persist, reflecting the complexities of a rapidly evolving society. Agrarian distress exacerbates rural poverty, leading to migration and unemployment. Urban areas grapple with the problem of slums and high rates of joblessness, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality. Drug abuse and juvenile delinquency afflict vulnerable segments of the population, hindering social progress. Crime rates, including instances of communal violence, highlight underlying societal tensions. The deeply entrenched dowry system perpetuates gender discrimination and domestic violence. Despite legislative efforts, domestic violence remains a pervasive issue, undermining familial stability and individual well-being. Addressing these multifaceted challenges requires holistic approaches, including socioeconomic reforms, educational initiatives, and community engagement, to foster a more equitable and harmonious society.
