A country rich in Bio-Diversity,Agriculture, Information Technology, Inventions, Technology and Science,A land of Business Investments, Very nice to listen them, sounds sweet, but the real fact here, is many indians still don't even know many of the above facts !!
The development here looks chaotic, like one part goes rising and rising, from peak to peak, while the other part, it goes from bad to worse and so on, so both gets compensated and neutralised, whats the use?? Where is the development?
Let me share a live experience that i had at Nagercoil, my hometown. My uncle and aunt are both teachers and they've been given the "census 2011" duties. Here they need to take a census of the population at each house and the development taken place in every house in the localities given to them, it takes place once in 10 years and it has started now. There is a provision of 36 questions for every house. As i was just a workless bee in my holidays, i went for help by each of us taking one house at a time, and i came to know the unseen areas of india. Though those areas were just few kilometers away from my home, i never knew them !,Have not even seen those houses !
All those were Govt Houses, there were many many families living there. Each house was 100 sq ft in area and a people of 5- 10 residing in a house,Generations together! And when i started taking the census, i couldn't digest any of the facts,chaotic chaotic chaotic about the political happenings. It was Bushy everywhere, a snake villa it was, no stree lights work, an airport of mosquitoes, many landing and taking off the skin every second. I got scratches within very few hours of stay there. For this, the Cruel Govt which is called democratic, is asking for a rent of 200 per month and, they've to give it for free!
I started with my first question, what is the name of the family head, and that was the only question where i got a proper answer, there were questions like whether they have radios,cycles, vehicles, bank accounts, passbooks, toilets,kitchen, cell phones, landlines, etc etc and to everyone's surprise, the answer was "NIL" for every house.Every house has the free tv given by government and if that tv was not there, there life has nothing. None of the houses had a toilet. Only one person was working in a house and they were struggling to make a living. Loads of illiterates.They don't know their initials, and like a guy tells his dad's name as murugan and asks me to put whatever initials i want, as he don't know alphabets!
Of the many many people living there, only 2 knew their birth dates, and none others knew, they don't even know that it is 2010 presently and guess years like 2011 etc, and we need to correct them as 2010, such is the situation. When asked their Birth dates, they showed strange reactions, as if we were questioning them on Indian civilization, history and physics. They guess their ages and from that we subtract the years to get the year born and they don't know about the months in a year, so we have to put our own months at random, where is india traversing??
In a house, there is a cute grandson born for that lady, when asked for his age they tell he is 5 months old, and wen asked for date of birth or month they don't know, after thinking on it for minutes, they came with a clue that "when he was born we were given sweets by everyone, people told that it was some new year,might be that month i guess?" , man its jan 1st 2010 !!!, they din't know that!!, if i stand in an election here and bid hands for them and give 2000 each, i'm the winner, sure, its a bet, because they'll do anything for money, they've never seen it!
My personal wish would be, the ward councellors and ministers have to take this census, they'll know what they're. I was amidst feelings, a lady asked us to tell their difficulties and bring them to light, we said, we'll give this to govt and they'll give houses by 2011 end, that lady said, that when she went to the government hospital some 10 months before, she was told she has cancer in her breasts, and then she never went to the hospital side, she smiles and asks "will they give houses before i die??" , tears filled up my eyes :( :(
To everyone's surprise yet again, all belong to "OC" cast vise, i'm an "OC" and they are given the same offers i get, and the rich SC's and MBC's enjoying????, a democratic country we call !! Should be ashamed! A guy loses his education, the highest qualification seen was a guy completed 12th standars, despite having a decent score in 12th of 76%, it was not enough to fetch a govt college seat as he belonged to "OC", and he was not worth enough to pursue his degree in a private university, so happy to cut down a citizen's education?? Please bring this to light.
We pour moneys in temples, but easily erase the fact that helping these people makes us God. We people pray for rain to enjoy the chillness, these people pray to the same god that rain shouldn't come, as it wud bring in snakes and leaks at houses, so which one does god pick?? Is god really there? What will he do?? Imagine?? If a person's wish has been fulfilled, another's wish has been neglected !!, thats the truth !!
I really pray for them and we have to do our best, if hundreds in nagercoil area, then millions in entire india???, and we call we'll be a super power on 2020? , we'll be nothing, but still a developing nation. A rich's son goes in the benz and the poor's son washes it, both 're 18! , the education of a citizen is just worth a car's cleanliness??, are we selfish? , hopefully we're not in real life, but we're, when seen from a human perspective. We're selfish!, I'm not an exception!, I just don't tell we give all our earnings, But just telling please make them earn, share this, share this to friends, Pray for them ,Help them, finally bring them to lights , this is what makes us a human being, lets allow youngsters to study, they've blood,brains,hands, but sorry, they don't have castes !
I wish we're developed in 2020 !, Please Spread this to as many people u can, bring these people to light! Please Please Please !, We're Unborn Siblings !
