A Systematic Rot

Many see India as a land of opportunities, land of excitement, land of heritage & land culture, religions & philosophy’s, however to me India has be a land of extremes. We see many rich & famous share space with the down trodden & under privileged, finding rich high rises right next to near nothing shawls, The wealth & development coinciding with poverty & depredation. Now their can’t be any thing more extreme than millions of hungry human beings & countless amount of food grains being allowed to rot. If anyone thought we have learnt our lesson during 1970’s food famine, they are hugely mistaken.

Our system has become very inefficient, lethargic & oblivious to the fact that millions suffer due to lack of basic nutrition. We have conviently chosen to ignore the hunger pangs of those million and allowed those food grains to rot in ware houses. Many of the internal conflicts in this country are a result of many such oblivious attitude of the past. Though I never subscribe to left wing activism, I strongly feel government machinery if efficient & effective will never create a vacuum in the society which will allows those deviants to exploit. Nature has gifted us with enough resources for surplus produce for years together, however due to lack of sensitivity & vision we have chosen to ignore the opportunities to elevate poverty & instead choose to make the down trodden suffer further.

It’s high time our that politicians, bureaucrats & civil servants become sensitive to the needs of many millions who do not have access to even basic nutrition. We need to create systems & infrastructures to distribute those food grains to the needy in an efficient way instead of letting them rot. It’s high time that our politicians channel their resources & synergy’s to help those in need instead of playing the petty political blame games. It’s never too late to change for the good, but change today then tomorrow will benefit those millions who are desperately need help & have no resources to reach out to the high & mighty to plead their case.
