Inequality is often considered to be a major problem faced by India. It is also a matter of debate and sometimes protests in many parts of the world. In this episode, we look at inequality and try to understand the mechanisms behind it. We look at why inequality should be separated from poverty, and why it is poverty that India should immediately address. We also discuss some social problems that may emerge out of inequality and steps to resolve it. Have a listen!
