We are at the middle of the year 2019 and for India, it has been a year of mixed feelings and emotions as a number of social, political, economic and environmental events unfolded throughout the year.
In retrospect, it terms of achievements, 2019 will be mainly remembered and implemented the Goods and Services Tax (GST). India also became a full member of Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Supreme Court banned instant triple talaq, calling it unconstitutional.
Manushi Chhillar won the Miss World beauty pageant, Rohit Sharma scored his third ODI double century against Sri Lanka and Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli got married. In terms of scientific and technological progress, India can boast of the successful testing of nuclear-capable Agni IV missile and the launch of the PSLV – C37 rocket.
In spite of all this, 2019 will sadly be remembered as the year where women’s safety experienced an all-time low, as numerous little girls were raped and murdered by criminals. Children’s safety was another major problem when little Pradyuman Thakur was killed and 290 children died at BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur.
Religious intolerance was again on the rise and one’s patriotism was questioned when journalist Gauri Lankesh was killed. Social media abuse knew no boundaries when Priyanka Chopra and Mahira Khan were trolled for nonsensical reasons. Even the nature god remained unhappy with the country as India experienced the highest snowfall in two decades in Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 20 people, and in July, heavy floods in Gujarat, which killed over 200 people.
We have seen phenomenal growth in terms of technology and science, but basic needs like sanitation, hygiene, education, healthcare still remain a distant dream. India still has a long way to go to become a super power in the true sense and achieve social and economic development.
To begin with, for the year 2020. India has to deal with some major social issues on priority, which have emerged unexpectedly, and in a big way, in 2019. These are the issues which have the power to pull back the progress of our country as they not only expose the hidden villains of the country but also pose a question on the basic rights and safety of the citizens.
Answer:
SOCIAL ISSUES
A social issue is a problem that influences a considerable number of individuals within a society. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control, and is the source of a conflicting opinion on the grounds of what is perceived as morally correct or incorrect personal life or societal order.[clarification needed] Social issues are distinguished from economic issues; however, some issues (such as immigration) have both social and economic aspects. There are also issues that don't fall into either category, such as warfare.
There can be disagreements about what social issues are worth solving, or which should take precedence. Different individuals and different societies have different perceptions.
In Rights of Man and Common Sense, Thomas Paine addresses individual's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves". The failure to do so caused the birth of a social issue.
There are a variety of methods people use to combat social issues. Some people vote for leaders in a democracy to advance their ideals. Outside the political process, people donate or share their time, money, energy, or other resources. This often takes the form of volunteering. Nonprofit organizations are often formed for the sole purpose of solving a social issue. Community organizing involves gathering people together for a common purpose.
A distinct but related meaning of the term "social issue" (used particularly in the United States) refers to topics of national political interest, over which the public is deeply divided and which are the subject of intense partisan advocacy, debate, and voting. Examples include same-sex marriage and abortion. In this case "social issue" does not necessarily refer to an ill to be solved, but rather to a topic to be discussed.
POLITICAL ISSUE
Corruption
Main article: Corruption in India
India is ranked 76 out of a 179 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, but its score has improved consistently from 2.7 in 2002 to 3.1 in 2011.
In India, corruption takes the form of bribes, tax evasion, exchange controls, embezzlement, etc. A 2005 study done by Transparency International India found that more than 50% had firsthand experience of paying bribe or peddling influence to get a job done in a public office.The chief economic consequences of corruption are the loss to the exchequer, an unhealthy climate for investment and an increase in the cost of government-subsidised services.
The TI India study estimates the monetary value of petty corruption in 11 basic services provided by the government, like education, healthcare, judiciary, police, etc., to be around Rs.21,068 crores. India still ranks in the bottom quartile of developing nations in terms of the ease of doing business, and compared to China and other lower developed Asian nations, the average time taken to secure the clearances for a startup or to invoke bankruptcy is much greater. Recently a revelation of tax evasion case involving some high-profile celebrities and businessmen has added spark to the fumes of corruption charges against the elite of the country.
Poverty
The World Bank, in 2011 based on 2005's PPPs International Comparison Program, estimated 23.6% of Indian population, or about 276 million people, lived below $1.25 per day on purchasing power parity. According to United Nation's Millennium Development Goal programme 270 millions or 21.9% people out of 1.2 billion of Indians lived below poverty line of $1.25 in 2011-2012 as compared to 41.6% in 2004-05.
Terrorism
Main article: Terrorism in India
The regions with long term terrorist activities today are Jammu and Kashmir, Central India (Naxalism) and Seven Sister States (independence and autonomy movements). In the past, the Punjab insurgency led to militant activities in the Indian state of Punjab as well as the national capital Delhi (Delhi serial blasts, anti-Sikh riots). As of 2006, at least 232 of the country’s 606 districts were afflicted, at differing intensities, by various insurgent and terrorist movements.
