The goals that are generally desired by all types of people are as follows:
(i) Income that should go on increasing regularly.
(ii) Regular work and security.
(iii) Freedom.
(iv) Decent return for their products i.e., more profit or more income.
(v) They resent discrimination and want equal treatment.
(vi) Most of the people desire quality of life.
From above we can say that the characteristics of development are as given below:
(i) Different people have different goals.
(ii) Income is the most important characteristic of development.
(iii) There are mixed goals. It includes not only better income but also other important things in life e.g., freedom, dignity, equality, job security, good working atmosphere, opportunity to learn etc.
(a) Development involves thinking about our aspirations or desires and about the ways in which we can work towards achieving these desires/goals.

(a) Development involves thinking about our aspirations or desires and about the ways in which we can work towards achieving these desires/goals.
(b) Different persons in the society have different aspirations and goals. One may desire to be a doctor while another person an engineer. There is no conflict between the two but some times two groups of persons may desire conflicting things. For example industrialists may want construction of more dams for generation of electricity. On the other hand. tribal who are displaced from the land might resent this and may prefer small check dams or tanks to irrigate
their land.
From above we can draw the following conclusions about the aspects of development
(i) Different persons can have different developmental goals.
(ii) What may be development for one may not be development for the other. It may even be destructive for the other.

(l) Most people still marry within their own caste or tribe. The upper caste people or sometimes other caste people too do not allow inter-caste marriages.
(ii) Untouchability has been prohibited by the Constitution but in practice it still exists in different parts of the country, particularly in rural areas.
(iii) In the field of education too, lower caste people still lag behind. Government has provided them Various kinds of facilities but ‘upper castes’ are far ahead in education than the ‘lower castes’.
(iv) Lower caste people like rural landless labourers, are generally poor and are exploited. As a result of above, there is a disproportionately large presence of ‘Upper Caste’ among the urban middle classes. Caste continues to be closely linked to economic status.

Social divisions in a country are reflected in politics in the following ways:
(i) Political parties make different promises to different communities at the time of election to get their votes.
(ii) They look after their interest by supporting or introducing different types of resolutions in the legislatures’ For example, reservation of seats in the institutions of higher education in India is a step in this direction to win over disadvantaged sections of society.
(iii) During elections, people vote on the basis of social division. They vote for the candidate of their own community in the hope that he will look after their interest in a better way than the candidate belonging to other community’
(iv) Political parties are formed on the basis of social divisions e.g., DMK, AIADMK, BSP in India.

The power is shared by three organs of government i.e., legislature, judiciary’ executive and Generally, legislature enacts laws, executive executes the laws, makes policies and takes decisions. Judiciary interprets the law and protects the rights of the people. None of the organs has unlimited power. Their powers are mentioned in the constitution. Not only this, different organs keep a check on each other and maintain balance of power. For example in India, Executive 1.e., Councils of Ministers is responsible to Lok Sabha. The Council of Ministers must enjoy the support of the majority in the Lok Sabha. If they loose confidence of the Lok-Sabha, they have to resign. Thus, power is shared among different organs of the government.

The main causes of scarcity of water are mentioned below :
(i) Increase in population: The water scarcity is an outcome of large and growing population that needs more water for domestic use as well as to produce more food- This leads to over-exploitation to expand irrigated areas and dry-season agriculture. More tubewells for irrigation leads to falling ground water levels adversely affecting water availability.
(ii) Intensive industrialisation : In post independent India, there has been intensive industrialisation. More industries means need for more water and more power to run them.
Thus to meet the requirement, energy is produced from hydroelectric power. Thus industrialisation has led to more consumption of water.
(iii) Urbanisation: Urban centres with large and dense populations and urban life-styles have added to water and energy requirements. People have their own ground water pumping devices to meet their water needs. This leads to over exploitation and depletion in the cities.
(iv) Bad quality of water too leads to scarcity of water. There may be sufficient water in an area but it may be polluted by domestic and industrial wastes, chemicals, pesticides and other pollutants.
(v) Unequal access to water among different social groups: Some time, the poor people in Jhuggi-Jhopri colonies may not get water for their use. The well-to-do people in their colonies may get water. This policy of discrimination of unequal access to water leads to scarcity of water for poor people, particularly in metropolitan cities.
