As a result, the country has to spend a lot of energy to maintain internal peace and order.

Question 2.
How does regionalism affect national development? Discuss.
Answer:
Regional inequality is like gender and caste inequality and has posed a big challenge to India. Some regions of the country have achieved a lot of progress while many parts have remained backward. In order to remove such inequalities, the article 371 has been amended from A to J. Through these amendments backward regions have been given special status. In spite of all these measures, the regional inequalities problem has grown to such an extent that many are demanding independent states status for themselves.

Regionalism is a major challenge to India. It creates economic disparity. The British colonization of India had created modern economic infrastructure according to its needs for the market and raw materials. This resulted, in some regions remaining backward in all spheres.

Regionalism in India has created bitter hostility between different states over sharing of river water as in the case of sharing the Cauvery river water between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Boundry disputes has risen because of the formation of linguistic states such as between Maharashtra and Karnataka over Belagaum. The construction of irrigation and power projects have created conflicts between states and in between regions within the states.

Such disputes are cause for disintegration of India and poses a threat to national unity.

Question 2.
How is corruption a social evil in the public life of India?
Answer:
CORRUPTION: Corruption is another social evil in the public life of India. Now, the corruption has spread to all strata of the society. Corruption means offering bribe and following any other illegal means to achieve some illegal benefits. Corruption stays away from legal framework in its operation. This also can be defined as misuse of public authority for personal gains. Sweeping away all the procedures for a narrow personal gain can also be termed as Corruption. It has become contagious disease in personal life.

Corruption influences negatively on both personal as well of public sphere of life. It influences the economic, social and political life of a country negatively. It also means an immoral thing from the political angle. Corruption of personal ethics and morality happens in the personal sphere. In public sphere, bribery, nepotism, caste favouritism and international slowdown of the work appear as’ various forms of corruption. During election time, all these evil practices simply find inroads into social life.

Political corruption leads to crime. It also provides motivation of corruption in public life and nourishes the misadministration on the part of officials. Things like tax evasion, illegal hoarding, smuggling, economic offences, cheating, violation of international exchange and employment cheating all find space in corruption.

Question 3.
What measures are required for rooting out corruption in public life?
Answer:
It is impossible to root out corruption by either rejecting it at personal level or just going along with it. It can be rooted out only through strong public ethics and morality and personal commitment. Many a times, natural human tendency for selfishness, eagerness to fend of personal emergencies and personal gain lead a person to engage in corruption.

Lack of strict supervision and weak legal enforcement leads to corruption. Political will and public support is inevitable for tackling corruption. In other words ethical political leadership, good officers and politically aware and educated public can weed out corruption. Institutions like Lokapal and Lokayuktha can bring down corruption drastically. Education institutions can take a lead in this direction.

By installing CCTV cameras in government offices and increasing efficiency of government work can also bring down the intensity of the corruption. Measures like awarding harsh punishment for corrupt officials can also bring in some change. Increasing the number of courts and judges can also reign in corruption. In nutshell, coordinated efforts are needed to address this burning social problem.

Question 4.
Caste based discrimination is also a challenge to India. Explain?
Answer:
Just like Gender Discrimination, caste based discrimination is also a challenge to India. Caste system is a gift to Indian political system from the ancient societal system based on Varna. Many measures have been undertaken in the constitution itself to prevent caste based discrimination. The right for equality and freedom have been included in the section three of the Indian Constitution.

But, the caste system has continued live even after all these efforts. This cannot be solved only with the legal intervention. In order to eradicate this system, the society also needs to prepare itself to accept the change.
