Poverty in India is caused by a number of factors. India was already in a weak state after becoming independent from Britain. However, overpopulation tends to be the leading reason. As there are poor employment opportunities in villages, people moved to cities, leading to crowded streets and unhealthy living conditions. Also, the belief of inferiority of women brought about the penury that Indians suffer from. If females were viewed as equals to men, they would be able to obtain a successful job, make money, and provide for the family; however, this is not the case. Those living in rural areas depend on agriculture, which is dependent on rain patterns and the monsoon season. If there happens to be inadequate rain or monsoon failure, crops cease to grow, leading to a number of starving people. In addition, Indian families are generally made up of many members; thus, it is very difficult to provide for everyone. The caste system also plays a role in poverty-those in the lower classes are deprived of various opportunities. Because of this, more than 40% of India’s population is illiterate. Just as the rest of the impoverished world, they are misinformed about diseases and sanitation. Consequently, Indians suffer from diseases such as polio and yellow fever. Also, many women are giving live birth without any medical assistance.
