Many reasons like corruption, over-population, and illiteracy are responsible for this. The primary reason was corruption. Corruption started when the British invaded India. They had a policy that the officials that were posted to India were very well paid and were punished for any dishonesty. India then gained independence in 1947 and the first Prime Minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru took over, he retained the extensive powers of the British Administration and reduced the salaries. (Pascal 4,5). This reduction in salaries was apparently a bad decision for the future of India. People started feeling the need of more money because their salaries weren’t sufficient to fulfill their needs. So, the government officials like policemen and ministers started accepting bribes from the public to get their job done. This was the rise of corruption in India. 

I felt that most of the presenters knew what they were supposed to do. Almost all of them had statistics and facts related to their topic. Some of the topics were not as researchable as required, but the effort was seen. I noticed that most of the students hadn't used the MLA format for the citations.  I think that I had used all the fixtures and facts required for my argument. The only thing I feel was missing in my presentation was the MLA citation. I could do a better research on my focal points and use more facts and incidents to put my argument in a good position.
