उत्तर
Yes, there are many changes that may not be called progress in the real sense. Let us take the example of a growing number of vehicles on the road. More vehicles have made travel easier but it is also leading to air pollution. Similarly, many factories are coming up near some cities and villages.
These factories produce goods for people but they also create a lot of air and water pollution. Some machines have been invented which can do the job of thousands of people and thus make thousands of people jobless. Many gadgets in our home have made us dependent on them. We are becoming more lethargic.
