The hallmark of a sane society is its capacity to view things as a whole, for a number of factors go into the making of a healthy national community. It is not possible to be proud of material prosperity which is more apparent than real. This is so when it goes with lopsided development and the presence of pockets of the depressed areas. More particularly, the disparity between urban and rural areas has to be reckoned with more earnestly.
It is not enough to be motivated with a sense of purpose and progress. What is wanted is not just success but a success that satisfies. This is not possible with inequitable distribution of income and the pronounced existence of a poverty line. The widespread corruption is a telltale sign of unpardonable malaise that goes with it.
Unemployment refers to the divorce of knowledge and the power to do things. Educated youth is an impotent force so long as avenues of employment remain closed. The hierarchical order is a necessary accompaniment of an organized society. But illegal exploitation and misuse of executive power is a rampant evil to be held in check.
This is the need of the hour in India today.
