Staying miles away from my motherland, I hear some great things about how India has been growing by leaps and bounds and is the hot bet for a superpower. However, it was my visit after few years to the country which opened my eyes to certain harsh realities. The reason I am writing this is to express my empathy with the Indian women and convey my disappointment with the Indian government for the way they are treating the fairer sex.

In foreign countries like the US and third world nations like Thailand, for every 20-30 miles, there are rest rooms for men and women but that’s not the case in India. I have noticed that usually women don’t drink too much of water when they are outside for the only reason that they may have to urinate. This becomes an embarrassing situation. On the other hand, they feel shy getting into toilets in front of men.

Due to such limitations, this is causing cervical and kidney related problems among women in India. While men can take a leak beside trees, it cannot be the case with women. Even while I was traveling in bus, I could realize that they don’t have much of a facility and are unable to do that. Knowing the profession, I can say that this is a major problem. It is the prime responsibility of the government to take care of such basic things.

It’s a pity when they say India is the country which respects women the most. Well, that India doesn’t have the minimum infrastructure to accommodate few essential needs. Already, the lifestyle and demands of daily life have affected the health of men and women alike. And now, with such elementary flaws in infrastructure, thanks to an ignorant system, this sure is something of a growing concern. Wonder why the women’s organizations who make a hue and cry for every petty thing don’t take up a cause like this. Just a thought….

1. Indian Govt should stop selling soaps and Air tickets. Govt is a servant to the nation and is not in business of Making profits.

2. Instead focus on protecting its citizens and creating infrastructure for people to thrive people.

3. Cant we enforce to have Bathrooms and rest rooms in every Store, restaurant and Business – if not just don’t give permission to those buildings. Infact this would create additional jobs and customers will have to pay a little more but that should be fine.

4. How is our govt and Madam and Mother Sonia Gandhi so insensitive to such a nation wide problem. This could easily be resolved in a months time. Dig Vijay can you stop barking and work on things rather.

NDTV anchors have become parrots of power; their ability to stay “in touch with power and powerful” is killing any credibility that English media that has earned respect with likes of Hindu and Indian Express in India. Most women now watch the bdutts and Ghosh’s to see what dress they wear and the silly debates that they create havn’t influenced a person to be better people or more princpled. It pained so much to see these media channels rigged to softly change the public opinion against people like Baba Ramdev and Ann Saab.

What these loud and fake journalists fail to see is that there is enough country for every one and their preferences and we might not agree with every thing every one says – but we have no right deride someone’s cause as a tamasha, stupid, undemocratic when non-violent protest is the only tool we have in this democracy. That too when 30% of population lives with less than Rs 50 per day and as if everything is going smooth and fine in the country-you guys want to read your news as usual, allow people to throw garbage on each other,  I want to do my safe IT job, Diggy singh singing praises of Gandhi family and be a feudal lord continuing to stay in power, Kapil Sibal (who could not even implement his education policy agenda in almost 7 years now – I thought he would have made the greatest education minister but from execution point he is nothing but a zero. Empty vessels make more noise) continues teaches the nation a new English word every day which makes no sense, there are real leaders that are taking birth around us. It could be Jayprakash Narayan in AP in 60, Anna Saab in 70’s or Ram Dev in 40’s – these people are with people, travel thousands of Kilometers a year, give ideas and solutions that people actually need.

What NDTV and CNN-IBN guys should realize that these people are not in the business of managing people like you and me, they are the ones who are inspiring and motivating people to be better, to hold better principles for better living. Just because we have fallen for the game of corporate snake and ladder – we have no right to decide to rag, target and make these people our soft targets. Our arrogance to make our lives better and look better is no match to the sacrifice of these people and mark my words you are only trying to spit on sun.

In USA, there is a classic leader – Ron Paul who has been mocked, laughed and called nuts by corporate Media and today his pitch of small govt and no wars is central to the Republican party Pitch. This high principled man never changed himself and today people inspired by his philosophy have taken up these principles and there are millions of people fighting his cause.

We have shameless, high pitch anchors who get into deals with 10 Janpath, Tatas, Ambanis, lobby on their behalf and get away with Padma shri’s and at the same time solid paychecks, govt land allotments that we don’t deserve and what not. Did they ever have the courage to ask whose property are they taking in, why is public wealth being spent on them inspite of being economically well off – what did you sell to get those plots.

Final words, God save my India from these loud and lobbyist English Media first and then the congress.
