The Ever Changing Myriad Of Colours In India

By Anaisa Arora

India is one of the world's most vibrant countries. With its dynamic culture and spices, It is a vivid kaleidoscope of hues, tones and colours. Amid all this brilliance, however, there remains a sentiment of homogeneity, mundanity and solitude. If you look keenly, you will see that the colour of India is grey, not the plethora of enigmatic greys of a monsoon sky or the exquisite ambivalence of a grey province, but a perpetual, lacklustre grey of tarmac. People in rural communities and modest municipalities are neglected and left to stagnate as the country evolves ahead at a supersonic pace.

People in rural India are poor, and their problems go neglected. Numerous people's aspirations for a Modern Hindustan are evaporating dramatically. As affairs currently are, it appears that development will never come to rural India since the preponderance of its inhabitants has been abandoned adrift by the country's modernization drive.

There is a proverb in India that "wealth is like the colour of gold." However, it has acquired a new connotation in the modern environment. A multicoloured India is one in which we all possess equivalent opportunities and lifestyle qualities. An India that is devoid of impoverishment and injustice. An India in which we may fantasise and hope for a prosperous tomorrow for ourselves and our youth.

The predominant factors of this substantial disparity are socioeconomic injustice and destitution. Since its provenance, the caste system has been a prominent hindrance to any societal modification that has been envisaged. People's lives and prospects for education, employment, and connections in the societal structure are defined by the caste hierarchy.

India's economy was constructed not on its own, but by exploiting its labour citizenry. It was an empire that eviscerated its people with each subsequent generation.

Grayscale India is a country where people are downtrodden, women are subjugated as second-class citizens, and the affluent exploit the underprivileged. India is distinguished not just by its shades and liveliness, but also by its social discrepancies. Monochromatic India is not a perfect manifestation of the world. For millennia, India has been suppressed, plundered, and marginalised.

India's hurdles are not just tied to poverty; they are also analogous to systemic injustice. The country's deep-rooted sociological ills only serve to exacerbate poverty and prevent any true advancement from being accomplished.

A developed India does not yet exist, but we can make it happen if we all work together to make it materialize. We can all contribute to the formation of this New India by striving for our pursuit of excellence, envisioning big, and having optimism for the future!

I acknowledge that the future may never be perfect, utopian or flawless regardless we must strive to make it so.

And we must simultaneously strive unitedly to transform the world's colour from a chronic, pessimistic grey to rainbow hues.
