![]() Let us highlight some of the eminent thinkers who have put forth in defining social problems but it is difficult to arrive at a commonly accepted definition. ![]() Social problems change with the passage of time. These problems are the result of various factors that include economic, political, legal, cultural as well as historical. We have the problems of terrorism, violence, offences against women, children and minorities, unemployment, poverty, drug addiction, communalism, youth unrest, corruption, migration and displacement, environmental degradation, population explosion, prostitution, HIV/AIDS, etc. In the contemporary phase, India is facing several social problems. With the advent of the Muslim rule in India, new social problems like sati, purdah, the introduction of caste system among the Muslims, etc. The major social problems in the early phase of the Indian civilization were increasing rigidity of social hierarchy, continuous conflicts between the Aryans and the Dasas, emphasis on the observance of rituals, the sacrifice of animals etc. The major social problems in each of these phases reflect the then existing social norms and values. Social problems in India have changed with different historical phases. For example, the degradation of the soil in certain regions of Punjab and Haryana is being caused by the accepted methods of farming. Once a social problem takes roots and develops beyond the bounds of tolerance, there arises resentment against it and there is a demand for remedy in the interest of social harmony. Such a condition is recognized as a social problem. But gradually, they get accumulated and begin to affect normal social life. At the initial phase, such conditions are neglected since they do not have any serious adverse effects on the social system. & Ohlin, L.When a particular social phenomenon or condition disturbs the social order and hinders the smooth working of social institutions that come to be identified as a social problem.
