Solution

Imagination is a situation far away from reality. I have been asked to imagine a society where there has been no social movement. I imagine such society of the following kind of set-up.

(i) I imagine a very progressive society. People all living in a very peaceful, cooperative and harmonious social atmosphere. People are having a family of six-seven persons in all. Grandfather, Grandmother, a couple and their two or three children in a house. This family is not having any domestic help or servant. All members accept dignity of labour and like to do their own work themselves. There is a self-discipline. Elders like that their youngers and youngsters should regard their elders and serve them whenever they feel to provide help or co-operation to eldery members of the family.

(ii) The family has three sleeping room and one common room. In common room they are having a TV, Radio, Dining Table, Sofa and Central Table alongwith book Almirah.

(iii) There is an MTNL telephone. All members of the family take there meal together at least one time in a day. Grandmother and grandfather live at home both are government servants, daughter lines at home, children go to school for study and the father of the children goes to market. He is a clock merchants.

(iv) This house is situated at a housing society. Generally lower and upper middle class people living in this society. There are nearly 150 houses in this group housing society. There is a temple and a gurudwara on east and west corner of the area of the housing society. Most of the people are religious minded. There is a common library also. Every month there is a common meeting in the society. People of different caste, classes and communities live together. If there is any dispute or difference of opinion among members of the society. Some of the people sit together in community hall of the society and they decide. This society is very old. Most of the families have been living since last 55 years here. They did not require any social movement of regligious/social-economic or cultural type. These people believe in democracy, liberalison, liberty, equality, communal harmony, gender equality, patriotism, education for all and to help each other at the time of suffering or adverse situation.

(v) I have described such type of society to give a reasonably model type of society which is needed by our country. We should do our work, we should love our country, our neighbour, our religion but did not hole religion of other people or fast and ritual of other people. We should participate in most of the festival and national festivals together with good feelings and gesture.
