Why a Country Remains Backward

Why a country remains backward?
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

It is on record that this world has been divided into so many parts and every part has given it a name which is called a country. They say that their history, their geographical propositions, their culture and their way of life is different and they also claim that they speak a different language. The people living in these country call them citizens of that country and they are having all faith in their own country and in time of invasion from the side of another country, they fight the invader and even they are ready to sacrifice their lives. And that is the reason even our U.N.O. has to recognize that all the countries have got equal status excepting that some of the original establishers have been given VETO power.
In spite of all this division of this earth, the people are further divided into religions and if we go deep, we find that most of the wars had been fought on the basis of religions and there are instances even now, when the people are still at war because of different religions and one group is powerful and they are utilizing war heads and the other group has taken up the path of terrorism and today this world is facing a world war which is not totally a cold war.
In spite of all equality, some countries still believe that they are advanced countries and they themselves have declared that some of the countries are still backward. They have given the name of backwardness on account of the following reasons and therefore, people of these backward countries shall have to take up all these weak points and they should try to come forward and start removing all these points from their face. The points are:-
(1) Most of the people are illiterate and most of those who claim that they are educated are in the wrong because they too are not having proper education. Mere knowledge of 3 Rs is not proper education. The people must ponder on this point because illiterate people would not turn a country an advanced country.
(2) The people must be having training in one of the occupation, profession, trade and work on which they shall be working and earning income for the maintenance of the family and they shall also be contributing something toward the nation.
(3) Everyone who is having the capacity to work must work and earn his own living and income for the maintenance of his family and he should not add people in his family who could not be given proper education, training and proper adjustment in life. None should add beggars and dependants.
(4) Every family must have a living accommodation in which all modern facilities are provided and people should be in a position to clean themselves in their own house and they should not turn the country into an open latrine.
(5) None should be beggar and none should be allowed to wear rags because such items bring bad name to the country and people from abroad often note down these weaknesses and they are not accepting that such countries shall go ahead.
(6) There should not be a big difference in between the rich and the poor and even poor should be on their own feet and they should not be allowed to be exploited by the rich and by the powerful people. Till such divisions are available in a country, that country would not be allowed to call itself an advanced country.
(7) Every country has been provided with mountains, rivers, jungles, minerals, different seasons, rains, with gases, with irons and with coals and if they identify and exploit all these natural resources, they shall turn the country great and an advanced country.
(8) There should be no scams, scandals, muddles, sale of jobs, sale of licenses, sale of quotas, sale of stations, sale of justice and any one who is indulging in such items must be identified, punished and all his collections should be confiscated and their wards should not be allowed to utilize these illegal collections and this cleaning program must be started without any further delay.The
(9) The people must be strong and there should be no fear and danger from abroad and no country should be allowed to invade another country simply because it is holding warheads and it is more powerful. If we allow such items to grow, we shall face another imperialism in the world which shall be more dangerous than that which had been our fate for centuries.
These are the some of the points on which the people of a country shall have to concentrate and they shall have to wipe out all these weaknesses and only then they shall be putting the first step to the right direction.
