The growing network of drug dealers in the country

The problem of drug addiction in India is no longer a personal evil, but a national disaster. Drug mafia, smuggling, political patronage and social silence—all together are pushing the youth into darkness.

Drug addiction has spread from schools to villages. This is not just a crisis of health, but of thinking and civilization. The solution will not come only from law, but from collective consciousness, dialogue, education and social leadership. If we do not wake up today, tomorrow we will mourn a lost generation.

India is fighting a dual battle today—on one hand there is the flight of technology and development, and on the other hand the darkness of drug addiction is spreading within the society. Drug addiction is no longer just an individual evil, but it has taken the form of an organized industry, an international conspiracy and a social epidemic. From villages to cities, from schools to colleges, and from the parties of the rich to the streets of the poor, drug dealers have spread their network.

The most worrying thing is that now this trap is not limited to alcohol or marijuana. Deadly substances like synthetic drugs, chemical intoxicants, heroin, brown sugar, cocaine are now hollowing out the lives of the youth of India. In states like Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi, Manipur, Goa, this poison has torn the social fabric. On one hand the government talks about "making the youth skilled", on the other hand lakhs of youth are losing their energy, life and future in the grip of drugs.

There is a whole system behind drug addiction—drug mafias trading humanity for money, collusion between police and politics, consignments of drugs coming from abroad, and agents at the local level pushing the youth into this quagmire. All these together are hollowing out the country from within. It is no coincidence that behind every big drug seizure, the name of some influential person comes to the fore, but the matter is suppressed right there.
