Question

in the period between 1750-1856 many social evils were prevelant in the indian society. what step you have taken to eradicate any 4 social evils

Answer 1

When the British came to India, they found various societal issues in the country which they understood, needed to be finished if they wanted to create a country with a prosperous economy.

These were:

1. Taghos also known as thugs, rampant thieves and burglars who would sit by roadside and attack travelers for loot and money, usually killing victims. The British set up  a special team to tackle these and within a few years completely finished their network

2. Sati, the old practice of a widow being burned alive with her husband was prevalent and surprising to many. The british passed laws to end it

3. Rampant caste system: The british found a huge caste system prevalent in the country where one caste will be higher than the other. This system was never ended by them and was only finished when the India got independent

4. Immoral relations: Victorian Britain was a very conservative place and many English officers were surprised by open sexuality and the notions of kamasutra in the region. They were able to gradually end this and created a more conservative India 

Answer 2

From 1750 to 1856 India went through a difficult phase, both socially and politically owing to the colonial establishment by the British. On the one hand, the Mughals were losing power, Britishers were trying to exploit Indians by all means. As a result, many evil practices were observed among people. They were - 
1. Child marriage
2. Sati system/plight of widow
3. Purdah system (Veil)
4. Poor literacy among women
Even today, the traces of all four can be seen in different strata of our society, though Sati system has been abolished completely. If we go in villages we still find all the practices still being strictly followed. Also, though the situation is better in the cities, there are still some so-called educated people who have not changed with time. To eradicate these mal-practices I have tried to do my bit whenever and wherever possible. From school, we go to slum areas to increase awareness about Right to Education and Right against Exploitation among the slum dwellers. We organized competitions to bring about a change in the outlook of the poverty-stricken neighborhood around the school. I have written a couple of letters to the editors of different newspapers to rake such issues. Moreover, I persuade my mother to teach our maid who never went to school during her childhood. I wish I am resourceful enough to work on the same line when I grow up.
