providing financial support. Modern generation has been
instrumental in making our society strong and homogeneous.
Newly married couples become determined and responsible
due to such efforts of society. People become more receptive to
society, become selfless and gradually start thinking for the
welfare of society.

Those are two reasons why our society is backward. The
first one is a lack of education and another is our traditional
rituals imposed by society itself. We have a natural tendency to
surrender them. This leads to a situation of perpetual debt. In
fact, we are digging our own graves. The upper strata of society
will develop brotherly feelings for the lower strata of the society
if there is social homogeneity. In this way, the lower strata of
society will put their efforts to develop themselves and liberate
themselves from obsolete customs. They will create an elite
society. If the leaders of backward communities take initiatives
they can produce better results than the government itself.
