Poor rural labourers like Thulasi often do not have access to good medical facilities, good schools, and other resources. You have read about inequality in the first unit of this text. The difference between her and Ramalingam is one of inequality. Do you think this is a fair situation? What do you think can be done? Discuss in class.

Verified Answer

This is not a fair situation:

  • Government should put ceiling on land. This will lead to distribution of surplus land among the landless labour.
  • Government should made primary education compulsory to all in villages. This will help people to know about their rights.
