Hi frnds..In my previous blog, I mentioned
WHAT INDIA REALLY WANT. Statue of unity is proud of India, we all Indians
respect legend Sarder Patel but my question is What is dream of Sarder Patel or
What he wants. Let me tell you more facts about it.
Location wise thousands of tribal will
hold a mass protest against the statue because their lands were taken
away. The statue is also made with the help
of Chinese workers. But this isn’t be the first time Indian
politicians have indulged in political vanity projects of building statues –
albeit not at this scale.
In the 1990s, Andhra Pradesh chief minister
N.T. Rama Rao dreamed of a tall 440-tonne granite Buddha statue
in the Hussain Sagar Lake. He was inspired by his visit to New York’s Statue of
Liberty. But even before the statue was installed, it fell off the barge that
was transporting it and lay flat in the waters for long, causing him much
grief. Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also
inaugurated a tall statue of Raja Bhojalong the Bhopal lake – obstructing the view for many
residents. At the inauguration ceremony, Chouhan said he will try to bring back
Bhoj’s goddess’ statue, ‘Vagdevi’, from the British Museum.
Modi Ji only took this trend a notch above
everyone else and, in his characteristic style, aimed for it to be the world’s
tallest statue. Most of the tribal who live in the vicinity of the statue,
have already been displaced by the project. In village Waghariya that had an
population of about 1,500, 15 displaced families have been rehabilitated in mud
huts in an area with no amenities like electricity or drinking water. The rest
of them are being pushed to accept land very far away from their homes. And few
houses that remain will face submersion as water in the dam will be released
for the inauguration ceremony. The Statue of Unity stands overlooking the Sardar
Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River. The dam itself invited a lot of protests
since its inception and same happened with the statue. Tribal in Gujarat have
been protesting the inauguration of the project. Now, while the ‘Statue of
Unity’ might be a great source of pride for most of us, I am sure, the
humongous amount of money could be spent on other matters that require urgent
attending to.
First build school sanitary complexes with
proper toilets that remain functional for a while at least.
Second fund ISRO’s Mars Mission 5 times
over and increase the relief given to Kerala flood victims 5 times over. Donate
the amount to the entire North-East that is still suffering from heavy floods
and the list goes on.
If Iron Man Sardar Patel was alive today,
what would be his response to this gigantic blunder? Once he said “My only desire is that India should
be a good producer and no one should be hungry, shedding tears for food in the
country.”
I have some more facts like India‘s rank in
global hunger index is 103 out of 119 countries. India is ranked below many
neighbouring countries, including china, Nepal, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and
Bangladesh. IAS Armsstong pame, popularly known as miracle man in Manipur. Without
any help from the govt he has built a 100km road connecting Manipur to Nagaland
and Assam. We need some work like this first. Recently Chine made biggest Air
Purifier because AQI is increasing day by day. But in India we think tourism is important than Breathing Air. In 2.0 movie, Pakshirajhan
said no birds no human because we are killing our own environment. We have so
many developed countries but they never harmed their ecosystem but we are doing
without thinking for a second. We have to think about it.
Now look at this what we are doing. I have
said so many times we are a developing nation and we have to decide what is our
priority. In Japan, when bus drivers once went on a strike but continued to
drive their routes while refusing to take fares from passengers! So keeping
Japan on time but costing the bus companies gas on top of lost revenue. That is
the way to protest not like we did in Bharat band and any other. We have to take
examples from successful achievements of our past also. Whenever we succeed
because of our unity not because of system or religion or anything else. ISRO,
DRDO, Indian Cricket Team , Reliance or any other firm, you can see the
difference they want excellence nothing else. But we are looking for
Reservation . Reservation should be based on income, not any caste or religion.
What India really want is opportunity for
right people, We have to grow together, than one day we will be become developed
nation because we have developed mind set. Everybody wants Rammandir, I too want mandir but 5500cr rupees will not given by Centre or state, It will be taken by every single person of India . If we want a mandir than we have to donate and co-operate, we are already a developing nation and we can't invest our money on Mandir or statue that is for development of India not for this. So keep attention what we want , What India really wants .
Thanks.
