There are three things that can be seen as the most adverse in the level of assessment of a country. Number one amongst those is the widespread corruption in our country. Number two is the safety of women in our country. The threat faced by women is not confined to any part of the country but throughout. According to the report by NCRB rape cases reported in 2020 were 3,71,503, in 2021 it went upto 4,28,278 and further went upon 2022 to 4,45,256. Women in India is in a pathetic state. As a corrective measure as we we have discussed earlier this issue should also be included in the school syllabus. While counting the serious issues of our country another important aspect is our per capita income. As we have discussed earlier in PCI we rank 120 out of 179 countries whereas we are in the fifth position in GDP. Based on 2019s PPP International Comparison according to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) programme 80 million people out of 1.2 billion Indians, roughly equals 6.7% of India's population, lived below poverty line of $ 1.25 and 84% Indians lived on less than $ 6.85 per day in 2019.

We have discussed here about the most serious aspects about our country which could not be sorted out in over seventy years ruling by different political parties lead by different strong and dedicated personalities. The reason for the prevalence of the absurd situation cannot be put on any political parties or any ideologies. It is sheerly because of our political system of governance; the so called democracy.
