Our duties to the backward communities in our country

We are living in a diverse world. We live amongst ourselves with different religion, different caste, & even different race at times. Some people are more fortunate and some are less fortunate, this is one stark reality of our lives. Why forget Bill Gates who has done so much recently to help the poor of African Countries. He has donated nearly 30$ Billion dollars to countries in Africa and a country even India for development. Even though we all cannot contribute that much we can certainly do something for them. Each of us can contribute in different ways through different channels not only monetarily.

We must understand that money is not the only thing that separates us. Backward communities people have a different lifestyle and it is our duty to teach them the modern ways of living. Make them inclusive to the urban way of living. Because of this backward lifestyle and traditional barriers they are unaware what life can offer them. How societies outside their own live. What is modernization and advancement? They are not even literate. Because they have not found literacy useful. It was not a part of their life. They were mostly farmers, they bred cattles etc. Our duty is to make them aware of the modern world and give them the opportunity to be a part of our lives.

Something like reservation is certainly useful when we consider this problem of different societies living together. People on the other side don’t like reservations but it is a reality that we have to face if we need inclusive growth and increased tolerance. Even private schools have now agreed to impart 25% of their seats to children from the backward, local community. How well it will work is we have to see? This will generate lots of data for future wiser decisions. There is also demand for private industries to consider this option. Whether it will work or not only time will tell. With reservations to women and backward caste we must see that the people in the open category don’t face a problem of choice. This is a great sacrifice given by worthy students towards their peers lying on other side of the fence.
