America and India- The Oldest and The Biggest Democracy
                                                                  America and India are the Democratic Countries but they are having similar race and cast problems. There may be difference and variation in the gravity of issues but they are severe in Nature.
                                                                 America is Super power today and its major population is consist of Whites, Asian, Hispanic, and  Blacks.  Each races has its own issues which can seen as reported  under-
a)The Child poverty rate of  Blacks and Hispanics are more than Double the rate of Whites and Asians.
b) Whites and Asians  complete their school graduations in large numbers than Hispanics and Blacks.  Hence Hispanic and Black  numbers are less in College Education.
c) In the case of life expectancy  Blacks have lower  age i.e. About 75 Years than Whites, Asians,Hispanics. ( The life  expectancy of Whites, Asians and Hispanics are about  90, 79 and 82 Year Receptively.
d) The Unemployment among  Blacks and Hispanics are more i.e. 8% and 6% Receptively.
e) In case of Health Care the absence of Health Insurance are on higher side among  Hispanics and  Blacks.

                                                                   It can be seen from above that Asians are near to reach the Standard of Living  similar to Whites in America While Blacks and Hispanics are quite below.  Besides that the gap between  Black/Hispanic and whites/Asian is increasing. It may lead to social conflict among them.
                                                                  Similar manner Indian Democracy has problems regarding Economically and Socially Backward people who are the 30% population of India. Those people have been given Reservation (i.e. In Education, Jobs and out of way Promotions  in Services) since Independence. Besides that there are people among Sikh, Muslim, Christian and Buddhist who are Economically Backward. The dissatisfaction among them are also rising.
                                                                
                                                                         India is a vast Country with Several Languages and Religions. There are 74.33% Hindus, 14.20 % Muslims, 5.84% Christians, 1.86 % Sikhs and.82% Buddhists.  The different Languages, Casts, and Religions have created complecated problems to deal with. The over population of the India is absorbing the all development benefits. Besides that Castism is being used as a Vote Banks and Reservation has become political problems. There is a demand for having a reservation system for economically backward people and not based on Cast. These all issues are being politicized and it is coming in the way of development.

                                                                 It can be seen from above that America and India are facing the similar types of issues. i.e. In the both countries the Gap between Poor and Rich is Increasing. America is facing Racial and Unemployment  problems while India  is also facing cast conflicts and unemployment on large scale.
