Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.Since the starting of the human life till today's modern world, the thing which is the most severe in this world is it's illiteracy. We can term it as a disease which is only curable when proper administration is done. But since it is lacking every where so we have to now face the danger of illiteracy. 11 September, 2001 the disaster which shocked the whole world in almost 60 minutes was just the result of undue practices by the terrorists. More than 100 people where killed and millions of dollars of property was wasted. All this just because of illiteracy which forced many innocent people to join the terrorist parties like LeT, Al Qaeda, etc to earn there living, to get one time food a day, to get engaged, or just as an excuse for the protection of their residing country. Another example of illiteracy is dis balance in sex ratio of country (lowest in UAE where for every 100 females there are 274 males.source), child ratio, crime ratio and many other national observatory ratios.

Few days ago seeing the increasing number of Muslims in the state of Assam, the state's Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that due to increase in migration of muslims from other states and countries have led to more child ratio. He said "It is because of low literacy...Illiteracy among the Muslims. Most of them are illiterate. Every family...six, seven, eight, nine, ten...It is because of illiteracy." Here you must have now seen how illiteracy affects on all forms of life.
There are day to day rebels going on every where in some or the other part of the world either for democracy, or rebel against the head or for any other demands. But most of the time I have noticed that for a slight error by the government people use to make large rallies with more than 1000 s of people.
Talking about India, child labour has been completely banned but is it possible to decrease the under aged working population and educate them. May be yes but here it is just impossible. I can prove this as-
almost 270 million uneducated people in India. There is no source of income so most of them are In Below Poverty Line Category. So all the member of the family specially the males and the children. So many illiterate child have to work for even very low wages which has now increased fiercely in India.
And we could see the result now.
As per the results shown in a survey by UNESCO, India is the country with the most number of children dying per annum (i.e 15.55 lakh per year). In that almost 1/3 rd deaths are due to malnutrition and diseases.
I finally conclude that illiteracy is the major cause for isolation of socio-economic and political development of developing countries like India because of which the country is not coming to the level of making a revolutionary change and development.
