INDIA NEED REFORMATION


While we Indians feel we are safest in our motherland than anywhere in the world the following figures really horrify us. We murder  about half a lakh people every year. Let us remember that there are over ten countries in the world where the population is less than a lakh. 

Homicides in India in the recent times.
2015 - 44,373     2016 - 42,320
2017 - 41,017     2018 - 40,985
2019 - 40,479     2020 - 40,651
2021 - 41,330     2022-  30,000
(Indebted to the report by Knoema for figures from 2015 to 2021. According to a report by The Hindu there are about 85 murders per day)

According to world crime statistics of 2023, India ranks 81 with crime index of 44.4

When we take rape cases in India the following are the reported figures.
2021 - 31,677   2020 - 28,046
2019 - 32,032   2018 - 33,356
2017 - 32,559   2016 - 38,947
2015 - 34,655   2014 - 34,735
2013 - 33,707

In the world ranking of safety of women in 2021 India ranks 148 in 170 countries.

Above these, India is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Corruption is the prime factor that refuse justice to common man. Corruption is the one that attracts people to politics. And political power is the one that spreads corruption everywhere including judiciary, media, parliament, government offices, educational institutions, health sector and religious establishments. The political parties ensure to maintain a huge illiterate population in the country to gather support for their wrong doings.

Now it is the people to pick brooms and sweep politics from our country. Otherwise politics will swallow the people!
