As a developing nation, India has observed endless social problems, one leading to the other. However, one major social problem is illiteracy. It is the sole cause of many other social problems like child marriage, poverty, child labour, gender discrimination so on and so forth. If this is not dealt with at an earliest, it will lead to many other social issues as well as it is and will continue to be a hindrance in development of the country.

What according to you are the major social problems in India?

India is a young and developing nation and has several issues that needs to be addressed and solved for development and progress of the nation. It is true that illiteracy is a major issue of concern but it seems to be coming to an end. However, according to me corruption, dowry system, population growth, poverty, gender discrimination, female foeticide and homicide etc are some of the major social issues of India that needs to be addressed soon.

India has faced and is still facing social, economic and political issues since the time of Independence. However, every social problem is inter-related and one of the major social problem is Dowry system according to me. This is causing several death of women who was not able to provide the demanded dowry.

According to me the major social problem in India is gender discrimination. The obsession for having male child is creating gender gap and this is leading to other social problems like dowry system, domestic violence, child marriage, female foeticide etc. If people stops discriminating between the genders and treat both the genders equally many social problems of the nation can be solved. It can be done only through education and making the people understand the importance of girls and teach them to respect women.
