I was going through a question on Quora which was "What is the biggest problem in India?". Hundreds of answers were there. Majority of the people wrote corruption,poverty,inequality,slow economic growth and so on.
Really? Think for a moment. Is "poverty" or "corruption" biggest problem of India? If yes,then on what basis? What is the equipment which can measure seriousness of the issue? If no, then what is the problem which has been a hurdle in India's development for decades.
If every problem is deeply analyzed and broken in the smallest unit possible, it will come down to
Immorality and unethical mentality of people
Lets understand why.
Take the case of poverty. We can subdivide this in urban poverty and rural poverty. Why people in rural areas are poor?
1. Decreasing land holding size. why? This reason rest upon the increasing population factor. Now why population is gradually increasing in rural areas?
a) Unawareness: They are not aware about family planning. why they are not aware?
a1) Disinclination and lack of curiosity. >> Idleness and unethical attitude and mentality founded.
a2) Administrative body or local government is not concerned >> Unethical attitude and mentality founded.
b) Desire of boy child >> Unethical attitude and mentality founded.
2. Unequal distribution of land and other assets >> colonial origins >> Rapaciousness of policy makers >> Unethical attitude and mentality founded.
3. Low agricultural productivity: why productivity is low?
Traditional and archaic methods of cultivation >> Unawareness >> Lack of curiosity and motivation in collaboration with inadequate measures taken by responsible >> Idleness and unethical attitude and mentality founded.
4. Immobility of labour: Even if high wages are offered,labourers are not willing to leave their homes.The joint family system makes people lethargic and stay-at-home.
A big Idleness and unethical attitude and mentality founded.
5. Exploitation by rich >> Avidity of responsible >> Unethical attitude and mentality founded.
From poverty to corruption, terrorism to unemployment,global warming to inequality,every problem,every single problem is somehow inherited from this attribute of human being . However,reasons of this attribute might be different that depends on the problem. It may be avarice in case of corruption or bigotry in terrorism.
This problem can not be resolved by education only. I have seen few people so-called technologically advanced,working in MNCs throw garbage on the road. Politicians,graduated from top universities,are involved in biggest scams in the history of India. Education is not a nostrum here which can cure all socio-economic diseases.
Lets not talk about deterrence. The thing here to notice is the power of our inherited attributes, our beliefs, our ideology inherited from our predecessors biologically. How interesting and astonishing it is to observe that a majority of any ideology can extensively impact social economical and political structure of a country.
