Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why India's student protests keep growing
It may be too immense to be united or integrated, India. Now the world
second most populated country, which is expected to be the top in a few years
over China, has nearly 1.3 billion people. Though the size of the nation’s GDP
marks the 7th in the world, it’s still only 141st per
capita, which suggests there are still a lot of lower-than-middle-class people
out there. Though it’s the single largest democratic country with over eight
million voters, social class segregation called castes are still practiced in some
part of the culture and society. While 80% of the population believe in Hinduism,
there are Muslims and Christians and religious division seems distinct. Even
among Hindus, there are some ultra-conservative groups that strictly follow the
rules and respect the disciplines.
No wonder why there are protest, disputes and even clashes between
different groups in religion, politics and social values.
Enjoy reading and learning how complex India is.
