      "Economic growth in democracies accompanied by increased inequalities among the people". Explain.

    Answer:

                      Economic development of a country depends on several factors like country's population size, global situation, cooperation from other countries, economic priorities adopted by the country, etc. So far as India in concerned the success achieved in the area of political eqaulity of all by its democratic set up could not be achieved in the economic field. We observe increasing inequalities in the economic scenario. (i) In India, a small number of ultra-rich people enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes. (ii) The share of their wealth in the total income of the country has been increasing. (iii) Those at the bottom of the society have very little to depend up on. Their incomes have been declining. (iv) Sometime the people of the bottom level, find it difficult to meet their basic needs of life, like food, clothing, house, education and health. (v) The democratically elected government do not appear to be as keen to solve the question of poverty as people expect from them. The policies and their applications taken by the different governments of India to alleviate poverty are not adequate. Thus in actual life, democratic governments in India are unable to reduce economic inequalities.
