Today morning witnessed a plane crash in Mangalore. Approx 160 people died. I feel so sorry about the people who died and their relatives. I feel bad about the incident as well.
There is a lot of hue and cry about 160 people who died. It happens in such high profile cases. For eg - A plane crash, terrorist attacks in mumbai, Jessica lal murder case, Arushi murder case in noida and there are so many.
Some unknown NGO's will come together, go to India gate and light candles to grab media attention. They will also give some statements to be published on Page 3.
But nobody wants to talk about 75 security personnels who recently died in dantewada. After that 20 more died in a blast. And it has become a regular affair.
These are still accidents.
There are thousands of people in our country who silently die on a daily basis because of hunger, heat or cold waves and treatable diseases. No NGO wants to come forward and help such people.
Lakhs of children still work in manufacturing units of crackers, ornaments, etc. Who cares ?
Its the responsibility of well-to-do people to take care of such poor people.
Even if a few of them turn criminals just because of lack of basic neccesities, it will be very tough for the rest of the world to live peacefully.
We should understand that happiness is relative and not absolute. When there is a huge inequality in the society, peace will always be a dream. People will always live under a risk of poor people revolting and turning the tables down for others.
Just because these people agree to live without basic amenities and low payouts, others are able to live a comfortable life.
Otherwise, imagine a house maid asking for Rs 15000 per month or a driver asking for Rs 40000 a month or a sweeper asking for Rs 500 per visit. How many of us will be able to afford ?
Anyways , i started from Mangalore air crash. It was a bad morning to hear about such an incident.
The idea is that we as responsible citizens should take care of the poor and under privileged.
