suitable title :
Today we see a society in which there are tremendous differences between man and man; great riches on one side and great poverty on the other. Some people live luxury without doing any work while others work from morning till evening with no rest or leisure and yet have not got the barest necessaries of life. This cannot be right. It has the negation of justice. It is not the fault of our individuals who happen to be rich. It is the fault of the system and it is up to us to change the system which permits exploitation of man by man and produces so much misery. Our country can produce enough to permit every man and woman living in it to live in comfort and peace. Every man and woman must have the opportunity to develop to the best of his or her ability. But to do so, we shall have to forget some of our ideas of bygone age. Honour and merit must come from ability and hard work and not because of caste or birth or riches. Let each one of us consider the other as his brother, not the higher or lower, neither to be worshipped nor despised, but treated as equals with equal rights to share this good country of ours and all it produces.
