We the Indians used Rs. 90000 crores on purchasing of mobile handsets in just one year that just went past. This is huge, may be the total GDP of a country. We are big, in fact very big.. we can't be a third world country heart tends to believe. But we have to accept the harsh reality on the other hand there are people who commit suicide because of hunger and debt, there are people who live under the huts near the stinking nallas or in a tent on either side of the roads in torn cloths and their children begging on roads bare footed knocking each and every car that stops near the red lights, there are children and teenagers who work as ragpickers from dawn to dusk to get something from the trashes we throw in the places where we would hardly like to even see and ever pass will put a hanky over our nose. Is it unfair when taxes are collected by the government to lessen this divide of the rich and the poor? There are several questions to answer, there are several problems that need solution? Every menace that we witness, isn't that related with the vast population? Isn't that related to the petty politics of division? Use of fake Chinese parts with stamps of made in Germany in our Dhanush, the final trial of which failed recently and the latest CAG reports that we don't have ammunition for more than 10 days whereas we ought to have at least sixty days of ammunition - where do we stand? Is there any patriotism left somewhere or that is left only with the Jawans who regularly die on war front or fighting with the terrorists? Many questions without answers.. sick consumeristic society that thinks of only me and my family with no care for anything else...
