India offers $5m aid to flood-hit Pakistan, what about Ladakh? 200+ dead, and 1000+ missing.
no one cares, because that is an internal matter. It won't get international coverage.
"Kashmir belongs to India", "Kashmir belongs to Pakistan", or Does it belongs to those, who wants to live there?
Government talks about peace, development, growth, rehabilitation, but how much does exactly takes place? every new government makes new policies, close down old system, and implementation well that's not important is it.
Every Naxalite is armed with sophisticated guns, an A.K 47 costs upto Rs. 1,25,000 and each bullet costs, upto Rs. 4 each.
If those people can hand over the same in cash, the person will be glad to move ahead with his life.
A few days ago I heard some millionaire farmer saying that "Kisaan anaaj ugaata hai, uskaa hakk hai ki wo tax nahi de ya loan nahi chukaaye"!! (A farmer since cultivates food fr the country, it's their right not to pay taxes, or pay back loan money which they borrow) . I asked if such schemes benefits any poor farmer? or if anyone who was not well off become well off using such schemes? He said "No! only us who knows how to work around with the system"
Another time I had talk with few villagers in MP, I asked them, "how do they survive, when there is no work in market?" They said, they don't need to work, government is providing them "Berozgaar bhatta" (unemployment wages), which ideally is given in form of cheques, the government officer without verifying their status, get their sign/thumb print, cut their commission of Rs. 10 and given them Rs. 110 (per day) and keep tht cheque with themselves, assuming 1000 people in a village getting this money, it generates Rs. 10,000 tax-free money for the govt. officials per day and villager is happy getting free money, out of which he can get liquor for Rs. 30, (Marijuana) 'gaanja' for Rs. 10 and food for rest of it.
This another friend/senior of mine from college wanted to change the world, he left his well paid job in corporate to study hard for UPSC, became an IAS officer, with dreams in his heart to change the country to bring good out of it; only to become a part of the same old machinery which is like a Mainframe system, which people know how to work on but since no one knows the start or end of code written beneath, they can only manipulate it here and there (for their benefits) but cannot amend the system.
In year 2007, when RTI act was creating fresh waves around, a few senior retired IAS officers came to my college, from where I and a fellow student went across to RTI office to understand nitty-gritty of the system, only to find out that it is like any other government office, which requires bribes, paperwork and a lot of approach to push through your papers. I met with many senior members of that NGO their, when a Mercedes stopped near us, and a sophisticated looking 60 years old lady stepped out, she came towards us and met with all of us giving lecture (which seems like she crammed on her way to that place). Later I found out that she was one of the hot shot fund-raiser of Delhi, and wanted to cash in over the rising RTI business, yes I used the term business because that's what it was for them.
But later I met with a ground worker, who told me about what their NGO has done. She told me about various villages they have visited in search of issues, made effort from their end to file RTIs follow them up and all with only a single motive to make this country better brick by brick, only to find out that to make a wall out of bricks requires some time to strengthen up, but those sitting there with hammers don't let you have that time. She told me about the death threat she and many of her friends faced frequently, many who got beaten up while a few who actually were killed. And then this wall was hit by the 'BIG HAMMER' the RTI amendment.
Bollywood has given out hundreds of movies on one of these issues or another, with recent being 'Peepli live' and earned billions of Rupees by selling those movies, but have they actually shared even a single percentage of that profit with those whose problem they are showcasing? (I know this is a capitalist society and they are not responsible for the issues or for providing them a solution, but a little help won't do them any harm and it will only bring about some more publicity). None of the movies whatsoever has shown a realistic solution to even a single problem, I guess Indians still like lots of drama (as they say masala-bollywood style) in movies, they expect every Protagonist to do something super human (be it killing all villans or jumping of the hill top without dying), is there no realistic solution to any of these problems?
Since childhood we were taught that if you have faith in something and you try really hard, you can find out the solution, and things like 'Solution lies within yourself', 'Problem is not around you. it's inside you', Can't people set aside their egos for sometime, think logically for a solution & come up with a simple motto of 'Live & let Live', How does it matter if you are a Hindu or Muslim, or if you a farmer or sweeper. Why don't people do the job which they are being paid for? (even after accepting bribe for the same). What kind of economic benefits does people expect by inflicting Naxalism & Terrorism? You will only stop the region from developing further. Laxmi Mittal being still holding an Indian passport is richest man who lives in Britain. In today's world does it matter what a person't ethnicity is if he wants to succeed.
Life is too short to waste frowning, or live seriously. Enjoy while you can...
