Social Issues

Answer : Social media refers to group interactions in which members build, share, and/or trade knowledge and concepts in online communities. The ability to interact with others has evolved into a fundamental human need. People who would have never had a voice have now had access to information thanks to the amazing advancements in communications and innovative, astounding entertainment. The current generation has the good fortune to experience some of the most incredible technological advancements in human history. It has become the rage of this age.

We must address critical issues like the difficulties posed by social media and the significant advancements made in communication technology. Many people are unsure whether the widespread use of media technologies such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, SMS, MMS, and others presents a real threat to harmony and peace. In this situation, it will be crucial for traditional media to address these fresh issues and carry on playing a crucial role in the dissemination of news and information. Everybody is aware of the recent rise in conflict and violence in various communities around the world. People who identify with a particular culture, religion, or identity feel insulted by what is portrayed in the media and take offense at it. And the fact that technology is enabling an unchecked and unguided media boom, leading to a state of near anarchy and the potential for miscommunication and violence. Perhaps this explains why print media has remained relevant despite notable developments in multimedia technology. Free speech and expression should not be used to stir up riots or small-scale disputes between various groups of people.

Our Prime Minister asked the media to exercise restraint and avoid sensationalism a few years ago so that nothing was written, broadcast, or transmitted that would divide society and the nation. This is a warning for media professionals. After all, as the Prime Minister correctly noted, the media plays a crucial part in promoting increased intergroup and intercommunity discussion as well as communal cohesion. When disseminating news or information, social media companies must recognize their proper role and behave responsibly. They will have to answer for their actions. Whether intentional or not, they need to be held responsible for their own actions.

We must ask who controls or manages these various media outlets in light of all of these sincere worries, especially the more modern incarnations of social media. At the very least, the publishing is overseen by a Publisher or Editor in traditional media like newspapers. In a culture like ours where there is an undercurrent of tension and division, newspapers must manage the flow of news and information, and the editor serves as a gatekeeper to ensure that nothing is published that is detrimental to societal peace and harmony.

Television, radio, the internet, mobile devices, and other social media platforms are some of the media that can be used in actions that have a tendency toward religious hate speech. Therefore, to prevent the emergence of mutual suspicion among religious people, religious hate speech must be opposed in a structured, widespread manner that involves all parties and, of course, the commitment of all religious communities. This can be done by refuting news that has been spread.

In today's society, using social media as a platform for interaction and communication has become a common phenomenon. The issue arises when provocation and slander are spread through social media, which causes confusion, anarchy, and community disintegration. This is due to the fact that most people appear to place more trust in information they learn via social media than in news that is verbally explained. This phenomenon is called the post-truth era.

The attitude of those who are more likely to look for justification than the truth, especially those related to social media, will undoubtedly have fatal repercussions for the unity of the country because such attitudes tend to be exclusive and closed, making it seem as though the truth only exists in their group. Certainly, the future of religious harmony is not supported by this attitude.

The need for urgent digital literacy education in society arises from the need for people to be more cautious and selective when receiving or disseminating available news or information. With this selective mindset, it is hoped that the community can be sincere and impartial, leading to a society where truth claims are inclusive rather than exclusive. As a result, the community will produce individuals and collective figures who can appreciate diversity, strengthening the connections between internal and interreligious harmony.

Answer : NGOs, also referred to as non-governmental organizations, are voluntary, non-profit citizen groups that are organized on a local, national, or international level to address issues that support the common good. They work to improve society on a variety of fronts, including health, education, the eradication of poverty, etc. NGOs work to protect and raise awareness of the rights of the underprivileged and marginalized groups in society. They devise plans and designs for programs that would benefit society. In addition to government initiatives, NGOs are essential to the nation's overall growth and development. NGOs are extremely prevalent in India, and they all focus on various social issues or problems.

Civil societies have the power to transform society and serve as hubs for the development process. The Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are the official mechanism of civil society. NGOs are not now a concept of western culture but they are playing a significant part in the social restructuring of developing countries. NGOs are crucial to the implementation of the kinds of commodity-based development programs that provide a long-term answer to poverty.

A strong financial system enables the underprivileged to catch up to the rest of the economy, preventing the concentration of growth that so few people believe will lead to inclusive growth. One of the rational paths to social transformation is inclusive growth. On the one hand, it guarantees that everyone can participate in growth, both in terms of organizational decision-making and growth itself, and on the other hand, it ensures that everyone shares fairly in the advantages of growth. Not only do the urban poor need to be included in social transformation, but so do the poor in rural areas.

Now India no longer lives mainly in villages. The majority of people live in urban areas—about 30% of the total population. As a result, there has been a noticeable shift in India's approach to ‘urban poverty’ issues since the implementation of the Fifth Plan, from a welfare and service-oriented strategy to one that emphasizes the importance of microfinance and the expansion of employment opportunities. Microfinance is viewed as a crucial component in the promotion of broad-based growth because it generates income and employment in both urban and rural areas. All programs for reducing poverty and NGOs that work in this area place the need to empower women at the center of their efforts because they are one of the most vulnerable groups in Indian society and are affected by many socioeconomic factors.

NGOs work to fill in gaps in government programs and connect with groups of people frequently excluded from state initiatives; for instance, helping migrant workers during the Covid-19 crisis. They are also involved in a variety of endeavors, including research, and endeavors pertaining to human and labor rights, gender issues, healthcare, the environment, and education. Some of India's ground-breaking laws, such as the Environmental Protection Act of 1986, the Right to Education Act of 2009, the Forests Rights Act of 2006, and the Right to Information Act of 2005, were made possible by numerous civil society initiatives.

The social intermediation is an action taken at various levels of society by a variety of agents to alter social and behavioral attitudes within the current social environment in order to bring about the desired social change. NGOs serve as catalysts and raise public awareness in the context of India, where people are still deeply rooted in superstition, faith, belief, and custom.

Therefore, it is crucial for NGOs to achieve and uphold a high level of transparency in both their work and finances in order to serve as a catalyst for social transformation. NGOs must keep their revenue and expenses available for public inspection. However, the legitimacy of an NGO cannot be determined using the criterion of the funding source—domestic or foreign. The government must also understand that seamless cross-border exchange of information and resources is crucial to the operation of a global community and should not be discouraged unless there is cause to suspect the funds are being used to support illegal activities.

Answer : Indian Culture, which is one of the oldest and richest cultures of the world, is presently undergoing a transformation due to intermixing of western culture and the Indian culture. The syncretic mixing of varied cultures is already a ubiquitous phenomenon of our urban landscape and is now slowly making headway towards mofussil India.

Westernization is the social process of becoming familiar with or converting to the customs and practices of western civilization. Although varied aspects of our life, be it culture, food and clothing habits, lifestyle, etc. have come under the effect of westernization but the most perceptible change has come in our Indian family structure. The impact of westernization has been both positive as well as negative on our Indian family structure and hierarchy.

Traditionally India followed a joint family system, which entailed division of work across the family and sharing of joys and sorrows together. Also, it taught people to take care of others and live a community life. However, with the advent of western cultural winds, this joint family system is in shambles. The breakdown of this entity has manifested in the mushrooming of culture of Old-age homes for old parents and crèches for children of working parents.

Additionally, the emotional bond which was a part of our upbringing seems to be chipping away slowly and being sidetracked due to the impact of western culture of aloofness and individualism. Stress level in our private lives is increasing exponentially due to very less bonding with family members to share our feelings and setbacks.

Children, who earlier used to go to their elders like parents and grandparents for sharing their stories and to seek help for their worries, are now increasingly finding themselves all alone. Parents instead of giving more time to their children are giving them latest gadgets and video games. This has made children not only lonely but also has made them vulnerable to risks such as online stalking, peer pressure, dangerous video games like ‘Blue Whale Challenge’, etc. Thus, we see how western cultural practices have resulted in isolation of members of the family and have led to the rise of nuclear families.

Another phenomenon, which has seen an exponential rise in modern times, is the phenomenon of divorce, which partially can be an effect of western culture. Earlier, due to influence of Indian family values, people used to accommodate and work out relationships. These days generally a pattern is visible where people put less effort in working out relationships and are no more skeptical of divorce. This, however, may not be solely due to western civilization and might be a result of increasing freedom and literacy amongst the masses about their rights and laws.

However, there have been positive effects too as visible in increasing financial autonomy of women. In addition, women empowerment has become a buzzword, which has made women more visible in different sectors of the economy. Education level of females is also on the rise. Modern outlook and openness in thinking are becoming a part of the family psyche in urban quarters. Women no longer are confined to their homes and kitchens only but are expanding their wings in various fields as doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, political leaders, etc.

The impact of western culture is not alike in urban areas and rural areas. Some of the rural areas are still the last bastions of the joint family system. However, the western culture is rapidly finding a breeding ground in rural areas too. The reason for this uniform transformation of the Indian culture is the unification of the Indian landscape via transportation and communication systems like telephone, internet, etc. Thus, it is not far-fetched to conclude that Indian family system is undergoing a transformation where it is trying to assimilate western practices at the cost of its Indian values and family system.

Time is now to preserve our culture and its best practices and to adopt the progressive values of western civilizations to make a healthy and prosperous society. Our Indian values have the potential to tide over the pitfalls of modern times like individualism, isolation and stress. However, we must also make our Indian family system more inclusive and modern in outlook to survive in current scenario.

Answer : Since the dawn of human civilization, the art of storytelling was utilized to pass on critically deemed information about society, life, and everything. During the early days, much of our history was transposed orally through songs and spoken words.

Literature is the reflection of the life in all its varied forms and shapes and is the mirror to life and society. It depends upon the writer where he places the mirror.

From time to time writers have been exploring the various dimensions of the relationship between man and society. Every age has its own compulsions, tensions, fears, aspirations and logic, which characterize the works of that time.

Indian literature has always been responsive to the changes in material reality and theoretical perspectives. The fictional works of the writers like Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan and Premchand were mainly concerned with the downtrodden of the society, the Indian middle class life and the expression of traditional cultural ethos of India.

Literature also emerges as a powerful medium to present the age in a descriptive and analytical manner. It represents the social, political, cultural and historical growth of society at a great length. For instance, the literature written during India’s freedom struggle was a reflection of Indian society at that time. It can be seen in the economic critique of colonial rule by Dadabhai Naoroji (The Drain of Wealth) or the works of Mahatma Gandhi (The Hind Swaraj), Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (Anandmath on Bengal Famine), etc.

Literature, like many art forms, is expressionism. It is not merely a mirror of the society but in fact in many instances has proved to be a platform, which affected the society through itself. For example, George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’ spoke of a dystopian future governed by an authoritarian regime that created a singular narrative for society to follow.

In contemporary times, we find ourselves living in a community that is eerily similar to the premise of 1984. While some may argue that Orwell just created a fictional scenario based on past governments, one cannot eliminate the possibility that the novel itself also helped shape the society we live in today.

We are merely the construct of the stories we believe. Our political preferences, our moral compass are all based on the stories that have been taught to us throughout our lives by our parents, teachers and the collective narrative of society itself.

Most of these narratives come from literature passed down through the generations of human existence. When a narrative becomes a dominant belief, society establishes norms surrounding the story and influences individual behavior, which in turn affects the literature produced. This never-ending cycle will continue to feed into itself, shaping and reshaping society based on the self-reflecting nature of literature.

In other words, society will influence the literature we produce which in turn will consume by itself that will ultimately change the way society behaves. And the cycle continues. For instance, Aravind Adiga, an Indian writer and journalist whose debut novel, ‘The White Tiger’, won the 2008 Man Booker Prize, presents a critique of the individual vices such as deceit, hypocrisy, avarice and false pride in one’s social status based on caste, religion and wealth and rotten religious, social and political systems that are working together for disintegration of human values and society as a whole. Adiga implicitly suggests us to get rid of the individual vices, social evils and rotten systems through revolutionary social, economic, bureaucratic and political reforms. The issues raised by Adiga hold perpetual relevance for contemporary Indian society.

Thus, we can fairly say, that while an individual lives on a linear timeline and is experiencing the present, literature provides us with a timeless perspective and bigger perspective. It shows us the evolution of society through the works produced over time.Literature is a mirror as well a soundboard of our society affecting it through its works and in turn getting influenced itself.

Answer : Mass media is a tremendous source of information for individuals as well as society. The media play a central role in informing the public about what happens in the world, particularly in those areas in which audiences do not possess direct knowledge or experience. Let us examine the impact the media has in the construction of public belief and attitudes and its relationship to social change. Drawing on findings from a range of empirical studies, we look at the impact of media coverage in areas such as disability, climate change and economic development. Findings across these areas show the way in which the media shape public debate in terms of setting agendas and focusing public interest on particular subjects.

It is one of the most powerful tools of communication in the developing countries, as well as in the developed countries. It can aid in promoting the right things at a right point of time, or can make use of any situation to create disturbance around the people or in the society. Media helps to provide a strong message to the world about what is right or wrong.

Media is present all around us. For example, when we watch the Television; listen to the radio; read books, newspapers, magazines, journals; etc. The world is making a steady progress towards a better future every day. But still, people are bound by the social problems and issues directly or indirectly are “affected by the people,of the people and for the people.”

The mass media helps people to remain informed and updated about the various news, events, social activities, lifestyle, entertainment, and advertisements irrespective of the geographical barriers. For example, while sitting in India, one can get all latest news and events of UK, or USA. Like, even while sitting miles away, one got the breaking news of Barack Obama winning the Presidential election. He became the first African American to hold the office.

Mass media have made profound impact on societies and their culture. It ceases the boundaries of different societies among the individuals and creates ‘Globalization.’ The globalization is a decent case to delineate the friendship of media, since people can witness what is happening in different nations or how they dress up and what their way of life is. Subsequently, they typically mirror what others do.

Furthermore, media are a storehouse of information. It educates individuals about day to day occasions or new revelations. This data some of the time is utilized to change individuals’ sentiment. For instance, in race of president, the devotee of candidates publicize in media such as, TV or the web for them, and ingest consideration regarding choose any individual that they need. Thus, it can be concluded mass media have a powerful influence in shaping a persons’ lives.

However, mass media can have both positive and negative impact on the lives and on the minds of the people. It depends on the mindset of the people, as to which side they look for.

Answer : Politics is ethics applied to a group of people. Politics tells you how a society must be set up and how one should act within a society. The decision-making process about how a society should be ruled is known as politics. This process can involve elected politicians in a democracy, or the unelected members of ruling elite. Political decisions affect people’s daily lives in two very important ways. They decide how much money the state will take from people in the form of taxes to spend on public projects such as healthcare, education, or defense. Political decisions also make the laws that affect people’s lives.

Political ideas alone do not change society, but when enough people with the same ideas form a party, they can influence how society changes. Sometimes the process of change can be gradual; sometimes it comes from violent revolution, fueled by new political ideas. This happened in countries such as the United States, France, and Czarist Russia and India.

There are two main types of government: democratic and authoritarian. In democratic societies, adults have a role in shaping how their country is run, by voting in free elections for a political party. This is part of their civil rights. Citizens of democratic societies expect equal participation in political, social, and economic life. These freedoms are called civil rights. They are meant to guarantee that society is fair to everyone.

Sometimes laws that represent the will of the majority can restrict the freedom of others and exclude minorities from full political and social participation and threaten the idea of democracy. Civil rights protect the freedoms of all people within society. Politics is the vehicle by which progress and change for the people occurs. The purpose of government is to meet the needs of the people. While we are all tired of the old style of politics, much good has been accomplished.

Mahatma Gandhi once said that a few drops of dirty water don’t make the ocean dirty, and that pertains perfectly to politics. There are good people working to make a difference for their fellow citizens and we shouldn’t lose hope because of a few politicians are corrupt. We must never lose hope in the great endeavor that is politics. The purpose of politics is to better the lives of the people and to give up on politics could have extremely negative results for our society.

Politics involves making common decisions for a group of people. It is the activity by which differing interests within a given unit of rule are conciliated by giving them a share in power in proportion to their importance to the welfare and survival of the whole community.

Politics is the conciliation of diverse interests in society. Politics is a particular way of reconciling differences: it is a civilizing activity. Political predicaments arise when decisions have to be made and alternative solutions are mutually exclusive.

Politics is essential for the overall good of human societies, as it is the manner in which a society chooses its leaders and makes decisions about national policy, allowing every citizen to be actively involved. Politics has been pilloried for its evocative imagery of meaningless debate and conflict. However, many do not realize that such conflict is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy.

It is natural and obligatory that a democratic nation is divided along political or ideological lines, ripe for conflict, because this is the manner in which an active citizenry manifests itself. Active citizens are persons from diverse walks of life, like students, teachers, road sweepers, and stock brokers who engage in popular discourse, keeping abreast of alternative views. When a nation is divided, an action by a political faction will elicit a reaction by another faction.

A contestation of opinions across the spectrum of individual perspectives results in an equilibrium of potent and countervailing forces which regulate and balance each other. This equilibrium guarantees that every strata of society is represented in the national discourse on issues of sensitive character, such as homosexual rights, healthcare, and welfare. Conflict ensures that every citizen plays his part in building the nation by fighting for his beliefs and values and paying his dues - time and effort - towards the privilege of being a citizen of his nation.

Answer : Much like literature, art and music - films are also an important tool used by historians to study the evolution of contemporary society. A film is largely similar to a time capsule that can capture the essence and the mindset of the society at the time in which the film was made. Today, there are scholars who specialize in the study of contexts within films and there are even museums, libraries and entire universities that aim at understanding the pulse of a society through its Cinema.

The evolution of the Indian mindset post the year of independence can easily be analyzed through the films that each decade has churned out. Not just in terms of technological advancement, music and fashion - but in terms of the very plot and dialogue of the film.

After gaining independence, cinema was an important tool used by the Indian intelligentsia for the purpose of setting an ideal and a goal. Films of the ‘50s portrayed exactly what the society of the time wanted India to become. However, upon recognizing the flaws inherent in Indian culture, films such as Neecha Nagar and Do Bigha Zameen were made. These films aimed to address the various societal handicaps of India and convey the message that the path towards progress lay in overcoming these obstacles and working together (irrespective of caste and creed) to build a strong nation. The film Neecha Nagar addressed the issue of the class divide in India and introduced the idea of the nobility of the poor (this was one of the very first films that utilized the ‘rich, arrogant industrialist’ and ‘poor, noble peasant’ stereotypes).

The film Do Bigha Zameen, despite being a deeply pessimistic film, dealt with the theme of the zamindari system and the resultant loss of land with breathtaking panache. It effectively portrayed the evils of feudalism and the deep sorrow that is experienced by the peasant. Upon analyzing the great films of this decade, one comes to realize the fact that the movies effectively convey the idealism, hopes and budding dreams of a newborn nation.

The next significant era that must be understood while studying the Indian Film Industry is that of the ‘70s. While it is easy to typecast the films of this era into the categories of ‘Zeenat Aman’, ‘RD Burman’ and ‘Flower Power’ - in truth, there is a lot more to the films of this decade, contexts and subtexts are safely buried between very fine lines. The ‘80s passed in a whirlwind of horrifically bad fashion and ridiculously poofy hairstyles. The next era of importance is that of the ‘90s. There was a lot more to this era than merely the debuts of the three Khans.

If one compares a film of the early ‘90s to that of the late ‘90s, it would seem that the films belong to entirely different millenniums. The early ‘90s saw Karisma Kapoor (post her much needed eyebrow-wax) gyrating with Govinda to raunchy songs. The late ‘90s saw the very same Karisma Kapoor (now with two seperate eyebrows) - looking incredibly svelte and dancing a sophisticated jazz routine with Shah Rukh Khan in Dil To Pagal Hai. It is easy to discern through these films that somewhere in the ‘90s, India had undergone a major economic revolution. With globalization and the opening up of markets, a new class had emerged in India.

This class (in the context of film history) is referred to as the multiplex class. Urban, educated and earning very well - the palate of this variety of a movie goer would not be satisfied with the fare that the filmmakers were churning out in order to keep their village audiences happy. Classy and intellectual movies were the need of the hour. Our filmmakers promptly rose to the challenge - and how!

And then, we come to our decade, the decade that has probably made the least amount of impact on Indian movie history. The rise of consumerism is evident in the films of our time - especially with the aggressive marketing and advertising that is done through films.

While looking back at the movies of our decade, future historians will be able to draw the following two conclusions. The first being the Indian obsession with money (clearly reflected in the mindless and often unnecessary use of cars and gadgets). The second being the Indian hypocritical love for skin (read item songs). The occasional films such as Taare Zameen Par and Parzania are reassuring as they highlight the fact that there is hope for the future of our film Industry even in the midst of the ongoing ‘dark age’.

Answer : In the globalized age where boundaries have been nullified, where technology has made the World a small space, the impact of science and technology needs to be analyzed to get a better understanding of the influence it can create throughout various kinds of people and places in India. Technology is practically everywhere today-it has changed the way we prepare food, we buy our clothes, and we build our homes. It has changed the way we send our posts, we take our exams, we fill up our forms and the way we resort to comfort and entertainment. Computers, the most visible impact of technology have come a long way from being huge machines locked up in a room to tiny palmtops with more features added everyday. It has all the functions of a calculator, a music player, a home theatre, a video camera and practically a better tool than a pen and a sheet of paper. With more features and functions, computers have led to loss of jobs for millions. In this context, we can look at the impact of technology, especially computers, in the Indian context.

Computers arrived in India in the 1970s and with the formation of Hindustan Computers Limited (HCL) in 1976; India formally entered the computers club. Interestingly, HCL launched its operations in India a month ago before IBM came to the Indian market. By the 1980s, HCL introduced data operating and processing computers in Indian corporations. However, it was after 1986, when the then Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi took the initiative to lower duty on hardware and software, the Indian computer Industry began to grow.

Now, the difference is clear, computers and technology can become useful tools, only if ones progresses knowing the need to learn that. Just by introducing computers without any objective can prove a loss, both of government money and human resource. The basic infrastructure needs to be developed to a large extent. Basic education must be ensured in each and every place in India, across diverse social groups, if India wants to feel the impact of computers and stay ahead in the race.

Answer : Harmony is a precondition for peace, and peace opens the door to joy. All of us know this from our own experience. In matters of health or study, work or worship, harmony is what we strive to achieve. When harmony is lost, the result is stress and anxiety, pain and sorrow.

Religions of the world have contributed to the loss of social harmony, often because there are simply so many of them and they seem at variance with one another. The distrust and conflict between religions is sad and strange. Considering the fact that all religions deal with the same basic human problems, we would expect the world’s religions to be in the forefront of promoting harmony-not only among themselves but also at every level of society. Sometimes religions do work together to promote harmony, but the harmony that is achieved is too fragile to withstand disruptive social forces.

Frenzy is a state of great anxiety or excitement, in which you cannot control your behavior. uncritical zeal or with an obsessive enthusiasm related to one’s own, or one’s group’s, devotion to a religion. In religious frenzy people go beyond control and their intolerance for religions other than theirs manifests in violent manner. Such behavour spoils the social harmony.

Religious frenzy my turn into religious violence. Religious violence, like all violence, is an inherently cultural process whose meanings are context-dependent. Religious violence often tends to place great emphasis on the symbolic aspect of the act. Religious violence is primarily the domain of the violent “actor”, which may be distinguished between individual and collective forms of violence. Overall, religious violence is perpetrated for a wide variety of ideological reasons and is generally only one of the contributing social and political factors that leads to unrest and disruption of social harmony.

Answer : Culture refers to the intellectual development evolved out of the physical and mental training acquired in the course of the ages in a country.

The culture of India (or) Indian culture can be best expressed as comprising humanity, tolerance, unity, secularism and closely knit social system.

The mildness of the Indians has continued till date, despite the aggressiveness of the Muslim conquerors and the reforming zeal of the British, the Portuguese and the Dutch. The Indians are noted for their humanness and calm nature without any harshness in their principles and ideals.

Gandhiji’s satyagraha principle or Ahimsa - freedom without taking a drop of blood, worked wonders and gave credit to India in the international arena. Swami Vivekananda in his famous Chicago Speech on the 11th of September, 1893 spoke of this.

India is a conglomeration of men and women of various castes and creed. It is a fusion of old traditional values and the modern principles, thus satisfying all the three generations in the present India. The Elite businessman and the common vendor on the road share the same news and worship the same deity.

India is a secular coun country as stated in its Constitution. There is freedom of worship throughout the length and breadth of India without any breeches or violations of any other’s religious beliefs.

The Hindus, The Muslims, The Christians, and The Sikhs in times of calamity and during festivities come openly together to share their thoughts despite their religious affinities. The catholicity of the Indian culture can be best understood by the fact that hundreds of Hindus visit the Velankanni shrine or the Nagore Dargah in Tamilnadu.

The Indian Social System is mostly based on the Joint family System, but for some of the recently cropped nuclear families. The families are closely knit with Grandfathers, fathers, sons and grandsons sharing the same spirit, tradition and property.
