economic disparity is mother of problems

What kind of world you are looking for? What do you want in your life? Prosperity, liberty, scintillating career, security etc. But the question is how to get this especially the last one, peace and security. It’s easy to achieve great height of success. It’s easy to be a part of so called elite group but you dare not ignore the miseries of those who failed to achieve what you have achieved. The reason is they will respond and retaliate hard considering this as injustice to them. They will make you responsible for their problems. Someone want a peaceful sleep but solution is not just to get all those prosperity but to defend yourself and your family from social disease which we call as theft, robbery, murder, terrorism and rape. The biggest myth is crime is indirectly proportion to economic growth. If you also have the same notion, you must observe the crime rate per thousand of population in some of the developed nations. The result is shocking.
its hard to believe that countries like Finland, U.S.A., Japan, France are among the countries with highest crime. It’s disruptive to nurture the notion of development equals peace. There are another information like unequal distribution of income. So is it economic development or unequal distribution of income which causes crime against humanity. The index called Gini coefficient may be the better indicator of the problem. The Gini index measures the economic disparity of a nation. Higher the Gini index means higher would be the economic disparity. The past data has shown that countries with higher crime has also recorded higher Gini index. Hence it shows that its not economic development but equal growth which is more significant. The solution to eradicate crime is to remove economic disparity that sows the seed of hatred and jealousy and lead to rampant crimes. Considering these situations its important to remove economic disparity from the society. Just ensuring higher development without having equal growth opportunity will substantiate the problems in the coming time. India today growing at unprecedented rate but at the same time wealth is confined to fewer sections and economic disparity is widening (though as per Gini index India is better off than many nations in this regard) but situation is worsening and we may witness rampant crime rate in the future. To have peaceful environment and to preserve our wealth and life it’s very important for the prosperous class to make it sure that growth should fructify one and all.
I believe that India of future will have equal opportunities for all. Everybody will have the chance to enjoy the piece of ice-cream Mountain. Everybody feel elated and there would be no complaining about god being bias to someone. Let’s put our hand together to have a peaceful and calm India which everybody can refer as paradise.
