HOW CAN PEOPLE STOOP SO LOW?
While the nation is gripped by the fear psychosis of Swine Flu, there are greedy businessmen, who have sold their conscience to make the most of the situation. Really, what a way to go folks!!! No, I am not surprised at all because I know it has been happening time and again since ages. However, what really surprises me is that our Government of India is not at all bothered about such a situation… the short supply of masks and medicine… the quote of the ‘happening’ by our Health Minister to rub the wrong side of the bereaved parents of the first Swine Flu victim… the crazy media (who has forgotten everything else in the world and hysterical anchors hamming as if they are in Ram Leela Maidans…
Indeed, it is a total chaos… instead of educating and calming the citizen, the media hysteria is actually creating panic everywhere… Someone, someone should definitely take the first step to curb the hysterical ways of media, especially the electronic media because they are not only going overboard in reporting all kinds of news in a fashion that can only put a shame to the Ram Leela actors but also creating unnecessary panic with their over-the-top reporting… there are also people, who are selling the masks at a higher rate because of its short supply… isn’t it sad that while our Independence Day is just a couple of days ahead, we Indians are not bothered about our own people’s sufferings and deaths… wonder, when we humans will learn the beautiful lesson of life???
Even when such a calamity endangers our existence for a healthy nation, our government cannot even supply or provide adequate amount of masks and medicines to the affected patients… Isn’t this one of the biggest tragedies of our Independent India??? One of the reasons of all the media hype is also because Swine Flu is and have been taking lives of the rich and middleclass and hence government is bound to act (or show that they are acting or functioning properly)…. Hundreds of poor and lower class people die daily without proper food, a glass of drinking water, lack of medicines and medical treatment… do the media and the government really cares for them???
Swine Flu or AIDS, floods or draught, earthquake or heavy rains… nothing has really changed in the world… the conscience of greedy people still is killing more people than ever before… wish… one can only wish!!!
