Social evils are issues are issues which in

one way or another affects members of a

society and is often considered
controversial or problematic in terms of
moral values. Some of the most common
social evils would be alcoholism, racism,
(child) abuse, organized crime and
inequality.
Social Evils and Its Solution:
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. Social evil
grow in the society like diseased tree that no
one have courage to cut done./The carries of
social evils are human beings. There are many
social in our society but we discuss the most
common social evils like bribery and
corruption, hoarding and black marketing,
smuggling, adulteration, injustice.
Bribery and corruption:Firstly, We see that
bribery and corruption are growing up
speedily and development in the government
department like, offices, law, police station
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
doesnt 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 dont 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.

Hoarding And Black marketing:Secondly,

hoarding and black marketing are the
harmful roots of social evil diseases tree and
these roots are growing speedily in our
society and in this world. Now a
day,everyone have an aim, that is,he want to
get money. For this purposes he adopt
wrong way of progress. For to get money
quickly the some big traders and the owner
of heavy industries hoards huge quantities of
daily use products like sugar,wheat. grain,
onion, potatoes and other things of daily use.
Sometimes, they hoards some medicines and
they dont supply in the market, When they
see that, these medicines are not available in
the market then, they sell these medicine at
higher prices.

Smuggling:Thirdly, smuggling is the

injurious social evil like bribery,
corruption,hoarding and black marketing
and this social evil growing easily like
previous social evil. Due to smuggling
economy of any country face the condition
of loss. For example when people are
smuggled foreign goods into the country on
a large scale. Therefore the large
industries,local industry and agricultural
suffer. These people sell foreign dump
goods at lower prices and sometimes, they
sell at higher prices. Other countries sell
their dump goods at lower prices to capture
foreign mThe small traders cant sell these
types of things easily. If the small traders
sell dump goods so, government close up
their business. We can escaped large loose,if
the government of the country good take
steps for the progress of country.

Adulteration:Fourthly, adulteration is the

harmful social evil and this is injurious for
the lives of people. We can say that,when we
read about the different kinds of social evils,
we feel that,human is worse than animals.
He is avaricious animal and selfish. He can
does any work for his benefits. He want to
get money from any way and sometimes, he
forget that his way of earning is good or bad.
In this social evil some people and traders
mixed cheap and harmful commodities in
the daily use things like milk, pulses, flour,
honey, spices and many other things. They
play with the life and health of the people
for the money.Just for money they sell some
foods and drinks whose are injurious for
health like wine,many soft drinks and ice
cream sold by street vendors.

Conclusion:We know that social evil like a

diseases tree but we can escape from this. If
the poor people get their rights, equality,
justice and unemployed graduated get good
jobs etc. From this way, we can live happily
in this society.
India has the most diverse religion and has a
very rich culture. There are many beliefs and
rituals that people are following from a very
long period of time. There are many rituals in
India that have transformed into social evils.
These social evils have made the progress of
India go down. People are not judged on the
basis of their quality but on the basis of caste,
creed or gender. India is developing at a very
fast rate but these social evils have hindered
the growth of this nation. Some of the most
prevalent social evils in India that must be
removed are listed below.
Gender Inequality
In India men are considered far superior than
women in every field. From a very long period
of time women are thought to be the ones
who have to work at home and take care of
the family. Men are supposed to protect and
earn the livelihood for the family. Though this
mentality has changed in the past few years
but still it is practiced in many parts of the
countries. Women are still not allowed to go
out of the house alone. There are many
religions in India which force women to cover
their faces and their heads while going out.
They are still treated to be lower than men.
Gender discrimination has given rise to many
other types of discrimination and other evils
too like harassment and wage discrimination.
Women are not paid equal salaries for the
same work as the men does. It is still not
considered important to educate the girl child
in many parts of the country.
Dowry
Dowry system is the most deep seated
problem in the Indian society. Due to dowry
system in Indian society many other social
evils have taken birth. Girl children are
neglected, sex- selective abortion is also the
main result of dowry system. Parents dont
spend money to teach their girl child as they
think they have to pay this money in the future
when their daughter will get married. Though
many people have opposed this system but
yet it has spread its roots deep down in the
Indian society. Even in the Rig Veda it is
mentioned that the brides family have to offer
the dowry to the boys family.
Cast discrimination
Cast division is one of the social evils that is
only found in India unlike the gender division.
Every society in India is divided into many
groups according to the family they are born
in. members of the same cast have to do the
same occupation, marry in the same caste
and many of the lower caste were not allowed
to eat with people who belongs to the upper
classes. People of the lower caste are termed
as untouchables and were not allowed to
even touch the people from higher caste.
Though there are many rules and laws made
in India to eradicate the caste system but they
are not very successful. With urbanization and
modernization the caste system has changed
a lot in some years in India. Caste hierarchy is
all broken down and now it does not matter to
people who they are walking beside and who
they are eating with. Still in rural areas it is
prevalent and measures are to be taken to
completely eliminate this issue from the Indian
society.
Female infanticide
Female infanticide is the most shameful social
evil prevalent in India. Girl child is considered
to be a burden on the family and hence
people get sex selective abortions done.
There are thousands of cases registered in
India about female infanticide. Infanticide
means to kill the child intentionally. Though
female infanticide is not legal in India but still
in many rural parts of the country it is
practiced. This social evil is the most
gruesome one. Mothers are forced by the
family to abort their girl child. It is the most
brutal crime. Over 1000 boys there are only
914 girls in India. Either the child is killed in
the womb or is killed after the birth by giving
her poisonous substance or burying her alive.
Female infanticide has existed in India since
1789. During those years female infanticide
was practiced more in the Kutch region in
India.
Child labor and child exploitation.
This is the worst social evil in India. Children
are exploited and are made to work in
dangerous places like cracker factories. They
are not treated properly. At the age where
they are supposed to play and go to school
they are made to work in factories and in
shops. Since their parents are not rich enough
to fulfil the basic needs of the family or they
dont want to work so they force their child to
work in small shops and factories. Like other
social evils there are rules and laws made to
stop the child exploitation but nothing has
been ever properly implemented in India and
hence you can still see teenagers and
children working in the shops and factories.
Prostitution
Prostitution is the sexual service people give
in return of money. Many women are forced
sexual slavery and many of them work as
prostitute to earn their living. Women and girls
are made as sexual slaves from a very long
period of time in India. There are around three
million girls and women working in this
profession. That a huge number!!!! Not only is
this child prostitution the major social evil in
India. Children are forced to be sex labors and
there are more than 1.2 million children
working in this profession. Child prostitution is
the major concern in India.
Sati
The practice of sati was considered to be
religious in the history of India. Wives used to
burn themselves alive on the corpse of their
husband. Sati means the burning of the Hindu
widow in India. Hough this practice used to be
voluntarily done but in many cases the women
were forced o burn on the pyre of their
husband. Sati was a Hindu Goddess who
burnt herself alive for his husbands respect.
Though sati is considered to be Hindu
tradition but it is also practiced in many other
communities in India. This practiced is
considered to be an illegal practice in India
and has reduced to a very great extent in
India. There are still very few cases still
registered in India where a women burnt
herself on his dead husbands corpse.
Drug abuse
Drug abuse is also a very major problem in
India that not only affects many of the people
addicted to it but also their near and dear
ones. There are more than 7.5 million drug
users in India. This number is increasing at an
alarming rate. Drug addicts are mainly found
in the urban areas. People who are more
influenced by the drugs are street workers
and transportation workers. There are many
social awareness programs started in India to
reduce the number of drug users in India but
all in vain. Due to the modern lifestyle people
are getting more used to drugs and alcohols.
Domestic violence
Domestic violence Is an endemic
predominantly against woman.. Around 70
percent women of india are victims to
domestic violence. In almost every house
woman are tortured for dowry by her in-laws.
In every city of India girls are harassed and
tortured in every street they walk. In every 29
minutes a case of cruelty is filed. Today girls
are afraid of coming out from their houses,
they are afraid of walking alone in the streets
There are several acts and laws are passed bt
no serious action is taken against this dispute.
Poverty
It is the state where one lacks a certain
amount of material or money. It refers to the
absolute deprivation of basic human needs
which commonly includes food, water, shelter,
money etc. poverty is a very common problem
in India. Most of the Indian population is
deprived of the basic needs of life. Poverty
has given rise to many other evils in India.
Unemployment and the increasing population
is the main cause of poverty in India. People
commit many kinds of rimes like robbery and
murders because they are not able to get the
basic amenities of life. There are many
measured taken by the Indian government to
reduce poverty in India. Awareness programs
are starts. Subsidies are provided to poor
people. Many other measures are also taken.
