Social Evils

It is very unfortunate that social evils in our country have developed into institutions.Now we find a great
many social evils surrounding us like diseased trees that no one dares to cut down.Social evils come in
the society,when rights of the poor not given to them.Social evils destroy the economy of the country.It
became a serious crime.Social evil grow because of poverty and unemployment.When people find no
source of income then they found only way of earning through social evils.The carriers of social evils are
human beings.There are many social evils like bribery and corruption,hoarding and black
marketing,smuggling,adulteration,injustice.

Firstly,bribery and corruption are found in quick growth and speedy development in important government
departments,offices,law courts,police stations, and all those places where public problems are supposed
to be solved.Bribery,favoritism, and nepotism(favor shown to relations) are common like cheating and
fraud.These have put a stop to true progress,equality,development, and hope for a better future.We see
that bribery and corruption are growing up speedily and development in the government departments
like,offices,law,police stations and other places.Where people go to solve their problems.When they go in
the government department for their small problems that time some government officers demand for
money from people and says that it is gift not bribery.Due to bribery people face number of
problems.Bribery does not thrive the common people.Bribery is stopping the way of
progress,development,equality and thought of better future.Some rich people and heavy industries fed up
the money to government department for their personal work.From this way,rich people progress fast and
they became richer get richer.On the other hand,poor people do not progress due to bribery and they
became poor get poorer.Sometimes,some people fed up to government department for some ordinary
matters like a new connection of electricity,sanction of building plans for houses.

Secondly,hoarding and black-marketing are the twin evils that cause abnormal rise in prices and suffering
of the people.In order to become rich quickly,big traders hoard huge quantities of articles or commodities
of daily use like grains,onions and potatoes and other necessities of life like medicines in short supply to
sell them later at higher prices.

Thirdly,smuggling is a serious social evil that is extremely harmful to the country's economy.When foreign
goods are smuggled into the country on a large scale,the local industry,business and agriculture
suffer.Other countries usually dump their goods or sell them at lower prices to capture foreign
markets.The local producers cannot sell their goods easily, and they either reduce their production or
close up their businesses.The government of the country cannot collect taxes and duties on the smuggles
goods.It cannot have control over the standards of the smuggled goods and inferior goods harmful to the
people.

Fourthly,adulteration is a serious social evil as well as a crime as food items like

milk,honey,spices,pulses,rice,wheat and many other food items are mixed with cheap and harmful
commodities.In fact,adulterators play with the life and health of the people.They make food impure and
injurious to health like the many kinds of soft drinks or "sherbets" or ice cream sold by street
vendors(sellers).

Fifthly,injustice is one of the most harmful social evils that wrongs all the society.If an officer in a
department,a judge in a court of law,a manager in a factory, or any person in authority is unjust,he
corrupts the very fabric of society.He misuses his authority and makes injustice prevail.The people and
society should judge him honestly, and if he does injustice,they should force the government to try him in
a court of law and then dismiss and punish him.
It is very sad that a number of deadly social evils still grip us after more than half a century of independent
existence.Only through effective moral and social education of the people and the establishment of a true
political,economic and social system can we bring social evils to an end.
