I was travelling in a train last week when a boy of about 10 years was sweeping the floor with a rag and was asking for alms from the passengers. Immediately, a storm of questions hit my mind and made me ponder for a long time…
How is that our politicians have been promising a hunger-free nation for decades and the child is still begging….
How is that our people have been fighting in the name of God, caste, religion, region, language and all the other parameters which can be used to distinguish one person from another, while the poor child who doesn’t even know which caste or religion he belongs to is begging……
How is that some girls spend hours together puttin on all the shit in the world in trying to look good(which anyway they wont) and the poor guy has been begging for many hours just for a days meal….
How is that some person spends millions of dollars for his daughters marriage, while the helpless child who doesnt even know what a million means is begging…..
Life indeed is unfair…..but we can make it fair by changing the rules
Who is responsible for this??
Or the more important and relevant question is what should be done ??
Don’t be stolid ….Do something because as you are reading this blog, the child is still begging………..
