Tail Piece - With a Window to Future!
Embarking on a journey of India’s remote state of the North East is a tumultuous but rewarding one. While perishing the economic growth in last two decades, the fruits of development is unevenly distributed in parts of the country such as the north eastern states. Home to 40 million people comprising the ‘seven states’ or states of Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Tripura along with the eighth state Sikkim is separated from rest of the country by the Gateway to North East India – Siliguri. Not only divinely beautiful but it is so diverse, each state has its distinct culture and traditions. It is one of lowest polluted region in the country. Jungles are dense, powerful

Mizoram- ‘Molasses Basin’
Sikkim- Sparsely Populated, the only brother state having world’s largest ‘Kanchenjunga mountain’.
Northeast is the “Inner-Peace of India with unrevealed secrets”.
But the problem is that it is not getting enough attention in terms of political, economical, social, technological advancements. Being surrounded by 5300 kms of international bodies, it is India’s portal to the east. More than the geographical separation, people of northeast have felt ‘alienated’ from rest of the country’s political, social, economic mainstream. Poverty, unemployment, low literacy rate, less exposure and lack of modern infrastructure is surely injustice. One of the major grievances of these section relate to the failure of the Central Government to protect the cultural and demographic integrity. In a broader view the region remains the most under-developed areas in the nation.
The battle of preserving and promoting ‘UNITY IN DIVERSITY’ in India is considerably far from being

This area have variety of Flora and Fauna and Avian life. It is blessed with rich natural resources and hold almost 40% of the India’s hydro power potential both being the key for nation’s development. In fact, Northeast India is a ‘Dowry-Free Zone’.
The bitterly Naga Insurgency issue clearly depicts the woeful plight of the people of Northeast. The region is deprived of exposure, modern infrastructure, opportunities and scientific developments.

The essay “A Modest Proposal” written by Johnathan Swift takes a satirical view on how to solve the starvation issue in Ireland. Swift suggests an obviously satirical solution of eating children around the age of one. He used irony, ambiguity, and ethos to emphasize the satirical nature of the essay and present a captivating idea to the audience.
“The Modest Proposal” is anything but modest. It is actually kind of scary, creepy might just be would be a better way to put it. Johnathan Swift comes off as innocent because he is genuinely sympathetic to the people of Ireland in the beginning of the story. Swift comes off as knowledgeable, confident and caring person when he presents his idea to help resolve the problem occurring in Ireland. Swift uses a scare tactic and then appeals to false authority in order to try and convince the people of Ireland that this could be logically sound proposal.
Two Works Cited Three years after Gulliver's Travels was published, Jonathan Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal," a work grounded in thoughtful satire. Swift describes the destitution that characterized the life of Ireland's poor in the 18th century then renders a brazenly inhumane solution to their problems. He shocks the sensibilities of the readers then leads them to consider the inhumanity of the destitution in the first place.
Famous satirist, Jonathan Swift, in his essay, A Modest Proposal, talks about how to solve Ireland's overpopulation and severe poverty. Swift’s purpose in this essay is to convey how serious Ireland’s problem is and to convince the people of Ireland, both rich and poor, to make a change. Swift adopts a serious tone in order to make his ridiculous proposal seem “modest” when in fact it is ludicrous. This tone of his helps highlight just how severe Ireland's depression is.
Since the beginning of time humans have worn clothing that defines their era, race, and personality. From a caveman wearing his favorite mammoth skin to a 1980’s righteous teen wearing her all time favorite bright orange neon retro blazers. Heartbreakingly, at the school of Putnam City North High, fashion has shot down the drain as teens decide to get dress blind folded every morning. As I look around the halls of sweats and dirty over-sized t-shirts, I am bombarded with the embarrassment of having these “fashion senses” be the look of our generation. These undressed, tacky, lazy wear must come to an end before our children look back on the classes of the late 2000’s with expressions of disgust as they wonder what the heck we were thinking.
This is necessary as the vast majority of individuals migrating from rural to urban centers has been steadily increasing with the level of economic growth seen within the past twenty years as mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, this situation has further shown the structural issues and inequalities of cities, as most migrants end up having a poor quality of life living in informal settlements as highlight substantially by Boo. As a means of tackling this, however, the Indian government has turned its focus on investing rural regions, developing the agricultural sector. Specifically, Boo mentions that “the prime minister, Manmohan Singh, had come down from Delhi to express his concern for the farmers’ hardships, and the central government’s determination to relieve it” (p. 138). While this is definitely important funds are not being divided justly. For starters, between rural and urban areas almost all investments are being targeting towards rural regions, which is only addressing issues of inequality in one section of the country. Furthermore, across rural areas inequalities of investment are quite often overlooked. Although, “one of the governments hopes was to stop villagers from abandoning their farms and further inundating cities like Mumbai, but Asha’s relatives knew nothing of these celebrated relief programs” (p. 138). Therefore, even though
Owing to India’s diversity, these identities are determined by caste, ancestry, socioeconomic class, religion, sexual orientation and geographic location, and play an important role in determining the social position of an individual (Anne, Callahan & Kang, 2011). Within this diversity, certain identities are privileged over others, due to social hierarchies and inequalities, whose roots are more than a thousand years old. These inequalities have marginalized groups and communities which is evident from their meagre participation in politics, access to health and education services and
India is at the center of a very serious problem in the world today. It’s a very diverse place with people from many different religious backgrounds, who speak many different languages and come from many different regions. They are also separated economically. Two of the country’s religious sects, Muslims and Hindus, have been in conflict for hundreds of years. Their feelings of mistrust and hatred for each other are embedded in all those years and will not leave easily.
1. Natural and cultural diversity : India has a rich cultural heritage. The "unity in diversity" tag attracts most tourists. The coastlines, sunny beaches, backwaters of Kerala, snow capped Himalayas and the quiescent lakes are incredible.
India, the second highest populated country in the world after China, with 1.27 billion people currently recorded to be living there and equates for 17.31% (India Online Pages 2014) of the world's population, but is still considered a developing country due to it’s poverty and illiteracy rates. As these nations continue to grow at rates that are too fast for resources to remain sustainable, the government’s in these areas wi...
The history of tribal oppression in India is an old one. “The Sanyasi Revolt”, “The Wahabi Movement”, and “The Naxalbari Rebellion”, are evidence of the tribal outcry that appropriately foregrounds their requirement for fundamental rights as citizens of the country. Even after sixty six years of independence, India’s rural poor and tribals are lamenting under the curbing effects of destitution, unemployment, undernourishment, illiteracy and human trafficking. For these people, the notions of liberty, equality and democracy have no meaning at all. Though the country is free from the bondage of foreign rule, their repression and prejudices still continue leaving them dependent on their new masters.
The multitude of places they are in and the numerous forms they manifest point to the diversity and richness of the Hindu cultures. However, Hinduism has gone far beyond the culture. It extends to other areas such as social structure, social life of the Hindus, ethical issues, equality policy and nationalism. (Knott, 2017, p.7) Contemporary Hinduism and traditional stories, teachings and rituals influence the lives of Indians living in and around the Indian peninsula in many ways.
We must avoid the temptation if at any given time our individual national economy is more prosperous than those of our other partner states, to be so arrogant as to forget that our economic situation may be suddenly reversed and that therefore we will soon need close links with our partner states in matters concerning both the intra-regional and extra-regional spheres. West Indian history abounds with instances of countries suffering sudden reversals of their economic fortunes.
Indian population has a mixture of culture, variety of languages and difference in resources. The difference in occupational structure, literacy level, health status and other socio-economic factors among the states leads to the
