Conclusions

  • Necessary pre-requisites of a modern State are -Gender Equality, Political Equality, Religion and Economic Equality.
  • Social reforms have not come to all Indian communities at the same pace. There are huge discrepancies in the way - some communities have acquired social awareness and moved forward.
  • Discrimination abound based on Caste, Creed and Class.
  • For all round progress and development, we will have to shed antiquated ideas of caste and communal prejudices.
  • We have to ensure right to economic justice for all, and equitable distribution of wealth, depending on merits.
  • Expansion of employment opportunities and family planning programmes should be high on the Agenda of Governance. Increase in population is negating the economic progress.
  • Lack of awareness and education, communalism, narrow interests are hampering the cause of social justice.
  • Social and cultural organizations to join hands and check tendencies of separatism and fragmentation etc.
