The new idealism is just "I".seen neighbours clean their driveway and dump garbage on the road regardless that some time hence it might blow right back into their own homes.Temporary solutions.Not caring who gets hurt as long as that "I" is satisfied with the results.
In Indian history too the Mughals hold pride of place and someone who drove out Humayun from India,Sher Shah Suri,is relegated to the footnotes of history despite organising the tax structure,building the pan India Grand Trunk Road as well as irrigation viaducts.It shows that Indians like a strong dictatorish personality that holds them in thrall,be it a Nehru or a Gandhi.Always dynasties have flourished-at the cost of an impartial governance structure.
Now the honourable Court decides that none can visit the core areas of tiger sanctuaries.How many of their highnesses have ever been in the field?Lain on a machan watching a tiger or leopard feeding on a kill,being bitten by mosquitoes yet steeling oneself not to scratch for fear of frightening away the predators.Yet they feel that by hiding the big cats the problem of poaching will go away.How about those living inside these places,dependent on forest produce and no other means of livelihood!
Never have I been more pessimistic than now about the ability of us Indians to be a humane,civilised people from the land of Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi,killing the flora and fauna,polluting the environment,not caring if our neighbours live or die.Truly a case for the have-nots.
