burning issues-1
Recently, I noticed that media is branding the religious acts of Indian people as some malpractice and also blaming common people for everything wrong.
There are a lot of such cases, but some of them really shocked me that how could the media be so partial?
During MAHAKUMBH in allahabad, a lot of cry was heard for the upliftment of the standard of GANGA.
I saw many hoardings and posters quoting slogans preaching people not to pollute the river and that this river should be protected.
These posters were placed at every nook and corner, electric poles and bridges, and of course on every inch of outer walls of houses.
THE common slogans were:
"DON'T DUMP WASTE IN GANGA"
"DON'T WASH COTHES IN GANGA"
"DON'T DUMP FLOWERS AND ASHES IN GANGA"
and so on. . . . .
NOW, try and answer these questions:
question no.1}} WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DUMPING TONNES AND TONNES AS WELL AS LITRES AND LITRES OF UNTREATED AND UNCHECKED HARMFUL WASTES
IN THE GANGA??
Whether it is the responsibility of each and every indivdual and are they to be only blamed for this??
OR
Whether it is the responsibility of the municipal corporation and other concerning departments who have the responsibilities
of disposings wastes carefully and often recieve financial aid for this cause??
question no.2}} How much do you expect a detergent used by washerman to cause pollution??
Is it equivalent to the pollution caused by hazardous chemical disposed by leather factories (tanneries) of kanpur ??
question no.3}} Isn't it true that a river has a self cleaning system in which it purifies all the bio-degradable wastes and also chemical
wastes upto some extent after covering a certain length??
And if that is true, isn't it also true that the flowers and ashes disposed in the river also get cleaned??
FRIENDS, always keep in mind that GANGA is here since thousands of years, but is now endangered, which means that if required care is not taken towards
cleaning GANGA then a day will come when we will see ganga only in pictuers.
NOW, THE POINT IS WHAT CAN WE DO??????
Practically speaking, I believe that as an individual we can simply do nothing, except flooding the city with banners and posters quoting river saving
slogans as if that only is sufficient to remove dissolved chemicals from the river water and starving yourself by doing ANSHANS.
My friends, in INDIA, the media only focusses on anshans taken by some so called great personalities. IF you are starving for a holy cause, then the
world will know you only after you are no more a part of it.
But then the question arises that why media blames the common people for the slow death of GANGA?? There is a very simple answer for this i.e. WE ARE THE
EASIEST TARGET. Why should media point finger on the industries who advertise with them?? But someone is to be blamed. So, if anything happens, they blame
the people. Have you ever heard media pointing finger at leather industries of kanpur for polluting ganga?? Or have you ever seen media raising the issue
of the harm done to the environment and to the river itself due to the construction on dam?? The answer is NO. And even if there are some reports on that,
they are not telecasted as necessasirily as they should be.
At last I would like to say that, please don't be ashamed in performing your rituals which involves ganga but in keep in mind, DON'T THROW ANYTHING IN GANGA
WHICH CANNOT BE DECOMPOSED NATURALLY.
