Ant and Grasshopper

Indian Version of Story-Good and Fact

Original Story-:
        The Ant works hard in the Contumacious  heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter, The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs, dances, plays the summer away. Winter comes, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
The Actual Indian Version-:

The Ant works hard in the Contumacious heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter, The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs, dances, plays the summer away.

Winter comes, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know "why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving."

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .

Mayawati states this as "injustice" done on Minorities.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticise the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven & Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .
 

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bengal Bandh' in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.
 

Lalu Prasad Yadav allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the "Grasshopper Rath".

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act'[POTAGA] , with effect from the beginning of the winter..

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV, BBC, CNN.

Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.

CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later...

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley.

But Some where in India, 100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation, government facilities, favorable social activities.
.................AND
As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the grasshoppers, India is still a developing country...!!

Note -:   I have no idea whose creative mind this has come out from, but this piece is awesome.

"GANGA" - Teri Maya Koi Na Samjha

"GANGA" - Teri Maya Koi Na Samjha

On 28th Oct. 2012, I posted a blog (An Evening @ Varanasi), where I write about the poor condition of our mother river Ganga, I wants to write and basically wants to attract the attention of people towards the condition of every river, now days suffered from, for sake of their life's, the selfish people is on a way to make every source of flowing water as polluted as they can and today is the condition, we are not getting clean water from any of these natural resources, can't predict about the future. here today i again writing over the same topic but with a different view.

The "GANGA", The mighty Ganga is not only the river but much more to the millions for whom the Ganga is a symbol of faith, hope, substance and sanity. The first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru wrote in his book  "The Ganges, above all, is the river of India which has held India's heart captive and drawn uncounted millions to her banks since the dawn of history. The story of the Ganges, from her source to the sea, from old times to new, is the story of Indian's civilization and culture, of the rise and fall of empires, of great and proud cities, of adventures of man." this river is revered as a goddess whose purity cleanses the sins of the faithful and also aids the dead on their path towards heaven. for the more than half of the Indian Sub-continent this river is treated as a "GANGA MAATA". A major river of Indian Sub-continent rising in the Himalaya mountains and flowing about 2,510 Km, through a vast plan to the Bay of Bengal.we can feel proud over the historical background of this river, as i mentioned earlier the half of this country treats this river as a mother river. did we think anytime to keep our mother as polluted as this river, if not then why the river treated as goddess is in such a poor condition, for a second let us to assume Ganga as a normal river, even in that case who are we to pollute the source of water (here indicating about all the river's). we're not permitted to play with her natural purity.
 

In 2007, Ganga is considered and finds its name in the list of five most polluted rivers in the world, in certain areas (Specially Varanasi) of Ganga the germs level are 100 times more than that of the actual standard, the sacred river and the deep bond that the people of India share with this spiritual entity is immense. Now this bond is making many pay a high price, after being diagnosed with cancer. Adding to the state of its pollution in is the raised amount of industrial waste which is drained out into the river ravaging it further into a life threatening source, contradicting its real purpose.

Traces of heavy metals and mercury has been detected in the river water says a survey compiled by the National Cancer Registry Program (NCRG) supported by the Indian Council of Medical Research. It has resulted in the largest number of gall bladder cancer cases worldwide, especially among the Indian population settled on the river plains. The river was known to be threatening to the lives of the many people who consume and use its water even before the report was compiled. The pollution is also a concern to the lives of over 140 fish species, about 90 amphibian species and the rare Ganga river dolphins. There was an initiation of cleaning up the river with the Ganga Action Plan. It didn’t culminate because of the deficient number of technical expertise and corruption, no good environmental planning, no support from religious authorities and due to religious beliefs and Indian traditions.

Ganga Action Plan (GAP) is introduced by government with an expenditure of 896 Crore for conservation and pollution treatment of river Ganga, the credit to initiate the GAP goes to Indira gandhi. we also familiar about the poor condition of Indian politics and can expect about the money declared for conservation under GAP Plan. so being depending over these politicians packages we need to owe and to start by ourselves, by the right moment to keep each and every source of water as much as clean.
