THE EVILS OF POVERTY
OR, POVERTY IN INDIA
OR, THE CURSE OF POVERTY
.The panchatantra says "Poverty is worse than death". What is worse than
death is common in India. Who will miss the mark of poverty on the face of the
hungry and the naked? Lean and hungry people live miserable life. They are in
rags. They are semi-naked and underfed. They present a very pathetic sight.
They have been reduced to the state of utter helplessness. They sight for a
loaf of bread or a morsel of food. But their is a never ending tale of miseries and
sufferings. They sponge on them. As the poor are hard up, they have to labour
much. But they are paid very little.
A large number of people in India live below the poverty line. In spite ofthe
best efforts of the Government, there is no improvement in their lot. Some are
worse than beggars. Like dogs they live on left-over. A good meal for such.
People isa feast Poverty is a bar to their physical, mental and moral development.
Some people become poor when they become addicted to drinking and
gambling They squander their hard earned money. They sell their land and
houses.
Poverty in India is deep-rooted. The poor form a major part of India's
population. Jobless and landless people without any income are countless. They
are underfed. They are exploited. They live in slum areas. They are always
exposed to the sun and rain. What a life!
