Dear Student,
The following points may help you:
a. Poverty, illiteracy, unemployment continue to hamper the progress of the country, the real test lies in planning and implementing policies to counter such challenges. Though efforts have been made to reduce and mitigate poverty , there are many more impediments that obstruct our path towards development.
b.Communal violence - It is true that ideals and ideas from religion play an important role in Politics. Today religion as a social factor is exploited by the politicians for electoral gains, who uses religious symbols, values to incite the masses against a particular religious community.
c. Caste- As a social factor has a considerable influence in our democracy and is a major challenge that India faces, We have seen rise of many caste based groups, parties demanding reservation, more representation. Caste system is well entrenched in Indian society.Even though we have established formal equality there exist a gap between theory and practice. Several groups continue to be discriminated. Caste, gender discrimination continues to haunt our society which are surely inimical to progress and development. It serves as a test for our political leadership to pacify caste based groups through a policy of reservation. We may also give example of gender based discrimination, where women are subjected to unequal treatment and are considered to be most vulnerable.
d. Regional imbalance could certainly be regarded as one of the major challenges that Indian democracy is confronted with.India witnesses Regional disparities, where we see some regions are developed, some are considered to be underdeveloped.Reasons for such disparities can be attributed to the historical factors, geo political conditions of the region, political history etc.
e. Countering Rampant corruption, red tapism, delays in the public process is a major hindrances in the effective working of our democracy.
f. Loopholes in the government' implementation mechanism is also a major problem.
g. Nepotism, favouritism, influence by the rich and powerful in the policy making negates the very meaning of democracy,.Thus, it is important to counter the above mentioned factors . It is important that there are no loopholes in the implementation stage and that corrective measures are taken immediately.
h. We may check growing corruption by being more enlightened, aware and participate to the fullest that goes beyond voting
i. We have to ensure that laws are properly executed, and that are equally applicable to all, without any discrimination.
j. We have to ensure and strive for good governance where the fruits of development reach to all
