Farmers and Laborers vs High Income Group: National Service, Economic Inequality and the Struggle for Equality

There is a significant disparity in economic income and national service among various professions in Indian society. Farm laborers, contract workers, farmers, and industrial laborers perform essential duties but receive very low incomes, while lawyers, doctors, engineers, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, traders, brokers, as well as those earning through unethical means, earn extremely high incomes. This disparity is not only unjust but also a major cause of poverty, inequality, and social unrest.

Real Economic Income Gap

Profession	Average Annual Income (INR)	Role / Quality in National Service	General Integrity
Farm laborers / Contract workers	₹96,000 to ₹1,80,000	Produce food grains, meet basic needs	Honest, labor-intensive
Farmers	₹1,68,000 to ₹2,16,000	Provide the public food, clothing, raw material	Mostly honest
Industrial and construction laborers	₹2,70,000 to ₹4,70,000	Maintain infrastructure, production	Honest
Lawyers	₹3,00,000 to ₹22,80,000 (average), some up to ₹50 lakh	Protection of legal system	Mixed; some honest, some profit-driven
Doctors / Engineers	₹6,00,000 to ₹24,00,000	Health services, scientific progress	Some honest, some business-focused
Entrepreneurs / Traders / Brokers	Millions to crores (very unequal)	Economy, trade, job creation	Some national interest, many profit-centric
Artists / Athletes	₹10,00,000 to ₹5 crore+ (depending on popularity)	Mental inspiration, entertainment, national pride	Varied
Illegal earnings	No limit (crores/billions)	Harmful to national interests	Clearly dishonest
Government officers (some)	₹6,00,000 to ₹30,00,000+ (due to corruption)	Administration, service	Ethics uncertain

The Fact of Lower Actual Income

According to recent data, farm laborers earn a monthly wage between ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 (annual ₹96,000 to ₹1,80,000). Contract laborers earn ₹12,000 to ₹18,000 monthly (annual ₹1.44 lakh to ₹2.16 lakh), but due to unstable employment and lack of social security, the actual income is lower. Farmers earn between ₹14,000 to ₹18,000 monthly. Due to geographic and social inequalities, these incomes may be even lower. Hence, the living standards for these groups are very poor.

Need and Reasons for Equality

• Fulfillment of Basic Needs: Laborers who provide food, clothing and shelter should receive just incomes.
• Social Justice: Unequal income increases poverty and social disparity.
• Economic Equality: For true development, wealth must reach all layers of society equally.
• Fair Respect for Labor: Laborers must receive appropriate economic and social dignity.

Conclusion

The foundation of national service is the honest labor of workers. Their income must have justice and equality
