In my personal opinion, 1-6 and 10 are inter-linked. The solution is pretty obvious. The right kind of education. Not the one which breeds intolerance - both social and religious - and incompetence. Many literates are also intolerant, corrupt and help to maintain the hold of feudalism and social imbalance. Education must serve to create tolerance by raising awareness and inculcating the ability to question the social norms and evils. In my view, our education system is just dishing out degrees and not imparting the right kind of learning. This needs to be set right if we have to move forward. It must be free of bias if we are to promote tolerance.
Personally, i don't see tribalism and caste system as such grave threats. They are fast losing their significance in the country.
Social imbalance and Materialistic classification. Social balance is hard to achieve because of the meterialistic classification. The only way to reduce their impact is to ensure Merit and Justice. The two are vital virtues if we want to move forward. In a way, these are also linked to the education issue but must be ensured by governments. But we cannot hold a government alone responsible because we must keep our house clean oursleves. In part, these two things have to come from within through awareness and the right kind of education.
I really don't see non-urbanization as an issue. I envy the simple life in a village. Rather, it's the rapid urbanization which has created the rush towards materialism. Not that i am against urbanization, but it should be planned.
