It is quite surprising that my post on lack of importance to human life in India (human-life-cheapest-thing-in-india) brings most of my search engine traffic. I initially thought that all traffic maybe from Pakistan, as it is natural for them to search what they want to read about :)
However it seems many people want to know about this. Especially with recent brutal rape in the capital, one can confirm that human life is not much valued in India. There has been lots of examples in the past, be it the 1992 roits or the Godhra Carnage or Sikh riots of 1984, neighbor killing neighbor, grown men killing kids have occurred in the past and no Govt can guarentee it wont happen again.
For India is a land of diversity, every one can easily find other diverse from hi sown ideas be it language, caste, creed something or the other is different. So when one point is taken it is a matter of showing strength to the other. It is easily said and done, flaming of communal tension is an easy matter.
Having said all this, all hope is not lost. The main reason one can see is because of increasing population and lack of resources. When TN asks for water, what does Karnatake do - deny it, why? because it is a resource they need for themselves, it is not for sharing, mind you is the reply.
Population, population, population, with the advances in medical field only God knows where this is going to end. With this huge population statistics does not lie but as Commentator Sidhu says it reveals more but hides the vital parts. The vital part is the percentage. Every country has its problems and issues, it may not be seen big because the population is less.
Assuming the same problem exist for 1% of population in Sweden and India. One can imagine the magnitude in India (1% of 2 billion!) is huge. To cut the story short, all countries have issues be it the afro american development in US or the SC/ST development in India, it is the same level playing field. Even if our percentages are same, our numbers are high.
Population control is needed but I am not going Sanjay Gandhi way .. well that is for another day.
So folks looking for human rights violation in India - look in to your own backyard. We do wash our dirty linen in public but you do yours first.
