We've touched the sky that supposedly was the limit but have we really been exploring our roots, by taking the different 'routes'?
Moving from a place where people introduce themselves to you not with a wave or "hi"but aNamaste, folded hands full of gratitude. This is what may remind you of a typical Indian airliner but not a 5th grader from a random school. Out of a place where kidsdon't cheer and yell their lungs out for a bandperforming on stage but give a standing ovation to a "kohli" dance, is just one small part of what we here callBHARAT! People get cultural shocks by watching their own colleagues doweirdstuff but somehow a place as small as 20 householdsdissonected from the basic amenitiesdoesn't hit them hard enough to actually come back and do something for it.
As soon as we see a huge set back taking place in our societies we retort to the statement"kya isis Bharat ke liye Boseaur Bhagatshaheed hue the?"(Did our freedom fighters fight and die for the India we see this day?)and then we just move on saying that all of this is just part of life. A daily walk for Krishna (akoralvari village kid) was an arduous trek for the urban crowd. If it were the effort what mattered then the people of villages like Tara andKoralvari would be millionaires by now.
If just a mere 17km's of distance from the Urban society can make us question ourselves as to whether this iswhat India really is? Than we should seriously make an effort to dig in deeper and look at the 70% Agrarian population of the country which live in rural India. It is what a sociologist would say-"The more weMuseum'ise them ....equally theyMuseum'ise us" The Bridge(gap) has grown old and a repair is what is needed.Lets wake UP! and move away from the luxuries thatwe've become accustomed to so as to create a better living not only for the good of the people of the villages but for the betterment of the country as a whole.
