On a chilly winter
night,sitting on a cozy bed in a warm house, I consider myself lucky because I
have a shelter to hide and keep me safe not only in the night but in every
moment of my life. We might as well consider ourselves lucky sitting in warm
houses and enjoying dinner but there is a huge lot of people who only dream of
such lives.
Yes, lately via KBC(a
popular gameshow in INDIA) I got to know about a community mu-sar , residing in a village which is hardly 15 kms from Patna, the
capital city of Bihar. Oh! Yes,such is the irony that even after being in such
close proximity from the capital city of the state, people reside there in
unimaginable and dirtiest of the surroundings. Yes, this community which is
also entitled as maha dalits because there status lies in the lower
section of the society. They are considered to be untouchables and are devoid
of even the basic necessities of living. The people feed on mouses (moos
in hindi) in petty circumstances when they do not have grains to feed on. You
will be called lucky if you get to eat a small bowl of boiled white rice during
he day. They hunt mouses from the nearby farms and are forced to feed on them
to continue living.
They are not given
money for the labour they do , instead
zamindars over there continue exploiting
this community by still practicing the conventional methods of barter system. When
a person works in a farm then he/she is given handful of grains to manage his
living instead of paying him money.they can’t raise their voice, because they
lack education. Lack of awareness and even basic human rights are a far cry for
these people.
What in this society has led to a situation like this ? after all, who
demarcates us a upper class and lower class, dalits or maha dalits, Brahmin or a rajput. No body has granted us the right to
outcast particular section of society just because of the fact that they are
engaged in mean jobs. Their rights should be taken care of. Their education and
living standards is a responsibility of government who on other hand
is busy in filling their vote banks.
Such is the condition
of Incredible India !!More than 5 lakhs of villages are still there who haven’t seen the face of
electricity let alone networking and technology. Where does it all end.!??
Isn’t it the responsibility of the
educated class of India who earn
handsomely.we cant always look upon government to do everything for us.we are
well aware of the fact what government has been doin since the past 65 years..!
if they would have been efficient enough such a situation would have never
arised in modern india it is time , to lend a helping hand to such communities
.opening schools and primary health centres are just words to start with. Need
of the hour is active participation of
Indian youth in such matters. Our future belongs to them , and I am sure
they do not want to see hungry and starved faces on the Indian soil. India is
set to embark a global journey. Let us join hands and make our country stand
above all !
Till I see you next
time.!
