India was ruled over 200 year yet with unity and bravery of our freedom
fighters we are now free and in peace. But of course like every country India
Also have some problems that needs to be solved :
CORRUPTION - The most widely spread endemic in India is corruption, which

must be handled quickly and wisely. There is hardly any office, in both the
private and public sector, that is untouched from this disease. There is no

ILLITERACY-The percentage of illiteracy in India is alarming. Though 74.04%

between rural and urban areas and male and female population. The condition
in villages is worse than in cities. Though a number of primary schools have
been set up in rural India, the problem persists.
