Human Life - Cheapest thing in India

Just as I was about to write on the 2/3 day old baby being killed for 200rupees in a Hospital, I see the news that 40+ people have been killed in a train accident. This is just few days after there is severe riots in Assam where around 50 people died and lakhs displaced.

Is the situation today any different from 1947 partition, where Hindus and Muslims killed each other with utter disregard for life or again at Godhra in 2000?

Well the saddest thing is Human Life is the most easily available thing in India.

The boon and the bane of India is its population.

In a big ocean if one takes a cup of water and throw it out, does it make any difference? This is the attitude we live everyday. We read in the news of so many deaths everyday, maybe provide our heartfelt condolences until we read till the end of the line and move on.

Well life teaches us to move on, I am not saying that one should sit and brood over someones death, but contemplate what we would do when if it were our near and dear ones. Won't we fight the system.

What is the bloody government doing? Give 1 lakh rupees for the dead as compensation. Well even my road side beggar would earn more than 1 lakh in a life-time. Does that mean if I pay 1 lakh to the Government I can take a life?

This is not one Government 2 goverments doing this, It has been the same all of India's independant history. Why?


Because there are just too many of us.


What if 100 people die, no one will notice in a Billion. Look at foreign countries, they have so many safety systems, why? because they do not have so many people, they need to care and nourish people. Even in few countries they give incentive if you give birth to more than 2 kids. Still the streets have a very deserted look even on a busy day, with Indians filling these countries.


yes we are just too many, so we don't really care if we loose a few, we can also give birth to more. Who cares what happens next door.
