ROYAL TERRORRELIGIOUS WRONGFIRST TEXT, TOILET NEXTFAT BOY SLIMITS AN EMERGENCYNUCLEAR AGEMERCS AT ROADS’ MERCY

Royal terror

The public pays to keep, India’s most hated man safe, secure, and well nourished.

India’s jails – a perfect way for hungry youth, to ensure a lifetime supply of food, good medical care and secure life.

All a person needs to do is manage to get arrested by killing dozens of innocents.

When Ajmal Kasab entered, Arthur road jail, a cocoon was created, within which, the most hated man could live in comfort.

Closed circuit cameras augment his security arrangement, Security forces keeps constant vigil over his accommodation. His food is first tasted, then served. We do not want our royalty to die of poisoning. Do we?

Two years have passed, since that chilling night. Yet he enjoys a level of security, that the victims of his bullet, can never dream of.

Religious wrong.

We worship goddesses and doom our daughters.

More than 7 million pilgrims trek to the shrine of deity Vaishno Devi, seeking her blessings to have a son

In a land, which celebrates Navaratri – in honor of many forms and strengths of divine feminine, people show double standards when it comes to their own sisters, wives and daughters.

The access to better education, has only refined the atrocities towards females.

Sex ratio is declining, and there ‘bride deficiencies’ in many parts of India.

Just like all previous laws against dowry, rape, violence and discrimination in general, the laws against eliminating daughters before and after birth, have not managed to make dents in the mindsets of people.

Hence, not only such crimes continue, but also escape punishment and there is little hope.

First text, Toilet next !

A UN study some months ago estimated around 564 million mobile users in India, though only 366 million had access to toilets.

Delhi already has more mobile connections than residents, with two SIMs per adult soon becoming the norm.

The mobile penetration is fuelled by a growing market hungry to grab more consumers.

On the other side sanitation is not driven by market forces, it is a basic amenity the government has to provide.

Way back in 1999,the Total Sanitation campaign was launched to eradicate open defecation by 2010.

The deadline has been reached but the goal remains distant. A study by Gartner foresees the nation having 660 million

mobile connections shortly. There is always the excuse of inadequate funds for welfare

schemes, but sanitation is just a basic need. To sum up, there is more mobile access than toilets in rural

and urban areas!

Fat Boy Slim !

One in every five Indians is not just overweight, but obese, according to a recent published study by the Lancet.

46 % are malnourished, admits the health ministry, making the country even worse than the sub-Saharan Africa where malnourishment teeters around 35%.

79% of India’s children are anaemic, and two million die before the age of five thanks to malnourishment and thereby low resistance to infection.

Obesity is a an urban phenomenon, stalking through schools and offices.

Undernourishment is still largely a rural and tribal concern. Scientists believe Indians are genetically predisposed to

accumulating more fat per kilo of body than other races. The United Nations Millennium Development Goal seeks to

eliminate malnourishment by 2015. Given the direction the country is moving in, the dream is

unlikely to be achieved.

Nuclear Age

The family size has shrunk , but the number of homes have increased

The “Hum do hamare do” slogan has changed to the Chinese styled outlook, “hum do ek hamara ek ”

People started investing more on property with the surplus money they have

The recent recession also helped the middle class to own holiday homes like the super rich

Its an emergency !

The number of accident victims dying from not getting medical attention in time is very high

Only 8% of accident victims are transported by ambulance to hospital

At times an ambulance hardly gets through due to the heavy traffic even if the siren is on , everyone is busy and needless to say about

the condition of roads

In a country where an ambulance does not reach in time but there is

an assurance of the pizza you ordered reaches in half an hour

Mercs at roads’ mercy..!

High-end luxury cars are plenty, but where are the roads???

To make an unnoticed place noticeable the only way left when none other works-Buy Mercedes in Bulk.

There are plenty of luxuries cars but no place to drive..

Our ministers, developers whose real work is to develop the infrastructure of our country are more interested in making their own money.

Rich people are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer. As corruption and bluffing is on an extend.

For example-People from Mizoram villages are living a miserable live with no electricity, no proper shelter, no assurity of getting two time meal. Whereas on the other hand “The Capital Of Our Country “DELHI” is always under construction, because the developer of DDA( Delhi development authority),the employees of PWD are reconstructing the roads, circles just to get the attention of the ministers when they passes through....

But they don't even bother about the people who are living in a pathetic condition.

Mind Over Matter

The previous slides took you through the “Incredible India”…

An India where skewed development throws up pictures of contrast that bring smile to the lips and a tear to the eye. For while the joke is on us, the tragedy is also on us.
