HEGEMONY OF HUMAN

Life is the most beautiful gift given by this enormous universe to each and every living organism. We humans are the most capable, social, intellectual and intelligent animal on this planet, we have capability to maximize the use of resources and various other available elements on the earth.
Earlier, man used to live among nature, eat animals and survive. Later, he developed and started using animals for various other purposes, for example: transportation, and earning. This universe has given rights to each and every creature to live freely, to survive as per their natural environment, but we humans have considered ourselves as a supreme power, not only over animals but over nature and it's resources.
Mother Earth has provided us resources for the development and survival of human society. Man can use these resources and explore in a proper and intellectual manner, but we humans are so greedy that we have harassed nature, over utilized the resources, destroyed the cycle and system of nature in the name of development and advancement of technology.
In India specifically, a large number of the population is over burdening the natural resources as well as the environment. Deforestation is increasing day by day, leading to climate change and less rainfall.
For humans, destroying nature and environment is not enough, so he increased his exploitations and didn't spare innocent animals.  When man lived in forests, agriculture was not yet introduced, in order to survive he had to kill the animals and eat as there was no other means of survival. Population at that time was low, hence food cycle was not disturbed. In the medieval times, horses were killed in the battles fought by the king. King hunted animals for fun, for pleasure, for showing their power and pride, and that is when extinction, injustice and dominance over the animals began. Later when technology developed, agriculture developed, grains to eat were available, people still killed animals for filling their stomach.
Mercilessness of human being doesn't end here. He started to command animals. He wants animals to live and survive according to him.  People keep dogs as a pet to be cool, so that they can dictate over him, could be his master. They can't set them free to live. They feed the animal so he has to obey and follow his master. People train dogs as a human, make them learn counting, train them when to bark, when to not, train them to obey and understand the command of his master, train them to be a bodyguard of house as well as of his master, all this happens just because they cannot speak.
When a horse or mare is trained to dance standing on two legs, how much cruelty they have to tolerate, how brutally they are beaten. In a circus, Lion, king of the jungle, becomes a puppet of his master, the cruelty faced by them must be beyond our imagination. 
With the increase in technology in each and every field, the mercy towards the animals from humans has completely evaporated. In the field of dairy, technology has developed at a wider scale. Everybody knows that for every dairy product the raw material is milk which is available from cows and buffaloes. Every day all over the world, cows and buffaloes are purchased in large numbers. With the help of machinery, their udders are stretched long to squeeze milk out of them. Once these cows stop giving milk, they are slaughtered in a rotating machine. It's sad that humanity has gone down to such a low level. 
Just because these animals are animals, and not as capable as humans, it doesn't mean that they should be harassed.  They also have hearts which beat, they also breathe, they also have feelings. Horses, dogs, cows and buffaloes are just the few examples mentioned above, but the reality is that every single creature is being harassed by human beings just because they cannot speak for their rights, they are not as social as humans, but they do have a right from the universe to live in their own natural way.  If you don't feed them they can find their food but at least they can be free.
Humans must behave as humans. They should have mercy, love and care for nature, it’s each and every element. Then being a human will be of some worth. Until then it's worthless.

UNEMPLOYMENT IN INDIA

Unemployment is measured by counting individuals who are employable and actively seeking a job but are unable to find a job. This is how in general unemployment is defined but at ground reality unemployment should include anyone who is above 18 and not earning his/her livelihood on his own.At present, unemployment is a focal problem of most of the developing and underdeveloped countries of the world. In a nation like India, where 70% of the population is of youth, what are the causes of unemployment? There are many reasons. Some of them are:- Increasing population, seasonal occupation, joint family system, and slow growth of industrialization. What leads to highly unemployed youngsters is the sick mentality of the society about the type and level and status of position in the working field. People seek government jobs as it continues to pay even after retirement and after the death to the survivors. In India people have a biased mentality about the post of a working candidate.  A person who is working as a waiter, as a sweeper, as a clerk, as a guard, or as a servant are considered to be backward, beneath, and inferior. In a job, status and reputation should not matter.  What is important is the struggle and the efforts which a person is making to earn. Social norms, social pressure and status of your post is so dominant over the youngsters of the nation that after graduation they waste half a decade in preparation for examinations of various jobs and hence remain unemployed. This leads to an increase in unemployment. Another aspect of unemployment which one can analyse is rural vs urban. In remote village areas of the country very few people have their own land for agriculture and hence remain unemployed, moreover those who have land, all the members of family work on the same land, hence they are working but not being paid for it, same is applied to the family businesses, this is called as disguised unemployment. In urban areas, people don’t get opportunities to learn skills, and hence remain unemployed. We can look at unemployment from the perspective of public vs private sector. In the public sector, getting a job is tough because of improper functioning of administration, non-consistency in conduction of examinations and interviews, not announcing results for years, delay in training and recruitment, leading to unemployment among skilled, deserving, and eligible young workers of the nation. In the private sector  there is no permanent guarantee of the job. Today if an individual is hired, tomorrow he/she can be fired. This is called insecurity in jobs and hence people look towards government jobs. Within the last two years, 2020 and 2021, when the world was suffering from the Covid -19, India has faced a huge increase in unemployment. The unemployment rate in India, amidst lockdown and restrictions on mobility, is 12.81% as of June 8th 2021 based on the data provided by the CMIE. (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy) In 2020, during pandemic about 1 crore people who were having job earlier lost the job and became unemployed. Many businesses and shops vanished and hence nowadays it is more critical to find a job for a recent graduate with no experience. Number of people looking for a job is increasing day by day, and simultaneously  opportunities are decreasing day by day, leading to a high increase in unemployment in the nation. Being unemployed or unemployment word is so negative and demotivating within itself, which can make an individual feel worthless Many times people so desperately want to earn a living but cannot do so, they try but remain empty handed, which affects their mental health and mental stability, leading to depression and sometimes they decide to kill themselves. According to a report in the Times of India newspaper, 1.3 lakh suicides have been reported in 2019 in India. This is a huge cause of concern for the country and it’s administration.What is the impact or consequences of unemployment on our nation? The most major one is the decrease in GDP rate, decrease in economic health of the nation, increase in poverty, excessive use of resources and no output to the nation at the same level i.e more consumption and less services given by the people to the nation. It’s very surprising to know that a 1 % increase in unemployment reduces the GDP by 2 % which is a cause of worry for the development of nation. Unemployment is the most serious problem an individual, a community, society and a nation faces, which should be resolved soon. This can be done by providing large opportunities, rising above social norms and sick mentality, improvement in working of administration, concern of the government, and the most important of all will power and determination of an individual who is able to work.
