THE KIND OF TAMPERED INDIA WE HAVE.
You can eliminate any kind of deadliest diseases in a matter
of time. Fatal ones; cholera, plague, small pox and similar other life
threatening diseases have been either eliminated or ways found to cure and
control them. Since time immemorial Poverty
in spite of planned concerted movements by Indian Governments now and then
could and cannot remove poverty. It is an enigma which checkmates all rulers,
experts, country men and their brother hood.It comes to you on one day and
slips quietly on the next day to someone else. It is determined by Him, the one
who is universal provider. Your own hands are responsible for your good and bad
destiny. #Modi or #Rahul Gandhi,Congress or BJP,CPM,CPI,SP,BSPBJD; none of them
can guarantee its removal.
Recently I visited Jamshedpur,now city under thick dusty
clouds round the clock. The residents have neither remorse nor do they are endowed with any
resources to do it away with, the coolie at the Kalimati (Tatanagar ) railway
station insisted to charge Rs. hundred from my spouse catching a train for
Jhansi .He was unprepared to accept less or more for luggage not weighing more
than 12 to 15 kg. Knowing that the aged and ailing couples can never step in to
cross the over bridge and rush to occupy their berths. What law and which
amount of negotiation will prove to be effective, Hazare and Kejriwal the new
Messiah & his Aam Admi were not there. She yielded. Next it was my turn
asking a coolie to drop and board me in Howrah Express for Kharagpur shifting
from plate form number 2 to plate form no.5.by stepping up over bridge.
Rs.hundred no less than that, was his demand. I yielded. Every where it is
notified in bold letters the freight rate of coolies. Now you may want me to
move from place to place for the redressal of our genuine grievance. Here they
are taking the advantage of age and sickness. Are these poors moral?
I boarded an special train (Shalimar -Hyderabad Deccan ).It
was but natural for Indian Railways not to provide Pantry Car in a temporary
train . The passengers depended for tea, snacks and meal for hawkers authorized
and unauthorized but un licensed. In West Bengal and Odissa , the trains are
infected with them and they make good business. It is good poverty elimination
as they work hard and are good substitutes. On one station, the licensed hawker
sold Mineral water for Rs.twenty. Many gladly purchased but I challenged the
rate, he came down to fifteen, some passenger in line benefitted. Rs.five means
profit of thirty three %. No fast court can be setup for such crimes. On
another occasion the hawker demanded Rs five in place of Rs.4.50 printed on the
front page of The TELEGRAPH DAILY. Fifty paisa coin was out of use/press. Was
not media aware of this?
Many passengers minimized their daily consumption but some
refuse to budge against the abnormal situation and were frantically searching
mid day meal on Vijaiwada Jn. Here employee of P.K.Sharif (CELL KITCHEN)the
licensee sold sealed Idly and half baked dosa (170 Gram)MRP 25.00 half thick
and half thin all stale kept me on hunger. The chatny was only ten gram : water ,chilly and salt
mixed. What honesty by a Muslim Brother! The agony did not end there. In the
process of reception of youngest daughter coming from Ranchi in the night of
26th of October, driver was requested to buy and bring coffee for both of us.
He was charged Rs. 16.00 in place of
Rs.14.00.He also brought four toffees each costing Rs.one .The owner, a Muslim
handsome bearded young man was asked to
pay money instead of toffee. He had to oblige me. In the same vein I noticed
short supply of 150 ML coffee; he was scolded to give up to the prescribed marked limit. He was quick to oblige. The guilty
once reminded his guilt will always yield. The last stroke to him came when
after consuming coffee I walked to him to ask for suggestion book. He was
terrified and returned the extra Rs.two and sought forgiveness, He had already
realized from hundreds of passengers extra Rs.one from each one of them. What
tampered India do you have! You have pampered them and their greed has tampered
them to remain poor for years together. The corruption is in our vein and bone.
There is no panacea available now. Kejriwal like men will be washed away in
this Ganges. Delhi and top enlightened
class people are their targets .Come to the villages and towns to
witness the current picture of corrupt practices in various shape and forms.
