A heptathlon is a Track and Field event composed of seven different events. The name heptathlon is derived from the Greek word for "seven," hepta, and the Greek word for "contest," athlon.

Why is India underdeveloped?

India is backward mainly because of illiteracy. Many of the Indian have lack of knowledge about Education which is very important for all Human life. Education tells many things and build brains. Because of lack of Education, there is a problem of population, cleaniness, basic understanding of India etc. India is backward because of not one or two but many reasons...as stated above illiteracy is the main problem, corruption: in which corruption leads to inequality of financial status which results in poverty and from poverty people can't afford to send their children to schools which results in illiteracy and child labour. where as people on the top they are corrupt with nations money to the Swiss banks and its such a shame that India tops in black money deposits in Swiss bank. Another problem is caste system which all the politicians are making the best use to win the elections and go to the top and push the country down under the earth. I think british rule was far better than the current rule, only two things can change the country either people have to change the by nominating representatives from themselves but not from the parties[ i mean a representative should be elected by the people and from the people but not bringing in someone from each party and choosing among them], and two there should be again british rule imposed for at least 15-20 years, but this time without exploiting the wealth of India.
