There is something conspiring in those jungles,
something, which is so calamitous, that it destroys everything it touches. What
is that thing? Which can force a handful of less-than-nothings; challenge the
might of the government (corporate too). Why are they doing this? What inspires
them? What do they gain out of this?
I believe, now we will have those Harvard and Princeton-rubbed
intellectuals debate within the air-conditioned confines of the planning
commission (an organization, which I feel is disbanded will do more good to
Indians than harm them) -- why are they against development? But, never will
the try to go in those jungles and separate fact from fiction. Who are these
low life's, in those jungles, who is the one behind this, who is using this
opportunity, who is responsible for the exodus of some 1,000 odd such people
from South India?
Who are the victims and who is the victor? Who is the
extremist -- one who we see resorting to this extreme step or the one who
through means, material, physical or other, is driving some to take such a step
or is that that everyone is being mis-guided? What in god's name is happening
inside those forests?
Such people are breeding in our mega polis’s -- look
at the cycle rickshaw puller. He is out there pulling people in this searing
heat and then when he gets home -- some JJ cluster-- he has to cook his meal
and sleep in horrendous conditions. These extremists are breeding near us.
But lets not bother with this, India's GDP is rising
and we are an emerging superpower.... We will have jaguars and mercs running on
roads, Starbucks -- see Google corrects me that 'STARBUCKS' starts with a
'CAPITAL C', and Hyatt’s _ i learned from Starbucks-- on every corner, but lets
not think about those who are forced to come to our cities just to earn and
live in sub-human conditions.
After all why should GDP answer for basic living
conditions, it should not, we are an industrious country in the making,
survival of the fittest is important here.
We should more worried about S&P ratings than
such trivial issue... Well, Fair seems foul and foul seems fair...
Black and white morality bursting into a million
motley hues dazzling the conscience with fake sense of hedonism... The
society's rot begins...
