What is India waiting for?

 Describe Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as the "honest king of a corrupt regime" which could not control either inflation or graft. Undoubtfully, this UPA govermnet led by Manmohan Singh is the most CORRUPT goverment that Independent INDIA ever had. Seems Manmohan Singh choosen and included most Corrupt people of India not only to his cabinet, but also in different vital organizations.some says Sonia is the inspiring source of corruption, while Manmohan Singh is a patron. Chidambaram and other members in the Union cabinet are partners.


Former telecom minister A Raja continued to defend his actions in the 2G scam, alleging that he sought the opinion of the three highest government authorities, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, then Finance Minister P Chidambaram and then Solicitor General Goolam E Vahanavati before awarding licences to private companies.The focus is back on the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh who did not make any suggestions to constitute a GoM to examine the spectrum allocation issue. “In such case, PM Singh could also be held guilty of conspiracy and dereliction of duty for not forming a GoM to examine the spectrum allocation issue.


How can Ministers in a country carry on corrupt practices without the head of a nation not knowing anything about it? The exchequer had been virtually looted to the tune of Rs 1.76 lakh crore in 2G Spectrum case, Rs 67,000 crore in CWG irregularities and Rs 5.5 lakh crore in S Band irregularities.The hike in prices of LPG, diesel , kerosene  and other useful commodities by government was a total failure to rein in the skyrocketing prices. While patronaging corruption related to 2G spectrum scam, CWG irregularities and Adarsh House Society Scam is shameful.


The main reason for corruption is centralisation of power. The current Parliament and the state legislatures feel they own the country. There should be a legal framework to undertake land acquisition without any protest and power should be decentralised to gram sabhas .I am not against development, but it must not be at the cost of the poor and the weaker sections of the society. The government must give options to people so that they can make a living.
 The village parliament's opinion needs to be sought on whether mining should be done in their village. Why are locals not involved? Involve them and you'll see a corruption-free country.On August 25, 2010, Rahul escorted a farmer's delegation from Aligarh to meet prime minister. Farmers demanded amendment in the Land Acquisition Act 1894.The prime minister assured that it will be done in the next session of Parliament. But nothing was done.


When it comes to our PM Manmohan Singh, the whole world feels that a saint is running our country. While Indians feel that the PM is not an aggressive PM. He has always been media shy, always been tight lipped and is known for his silence for any major issues that have taken place in the country.The true picture should be made public about the black money and other national interest issues .It also gives a message that What is lacking is it political will or aimed at shielding somebody in the party .Is party higher than the Nation ?


 Ministers and MPs languishing in jails after getting involved in corruption scams.people were disgusted to watch the inefficient and corrupt rule .It is unfortunate that the Centre is stating that courts should not interfere in the administrative matters.


 If the top authority is corrupt the entire system become corrupt and the common man is simply forced to pay bribe simply to get his/her things done. This is because he/she has no way out. Complaining to the top authority is meaningless as he/she is taking the main share through the subordinates. Because of this we have neera yadavs, Joshis,akhand pratap Singhs and Ahmedis. Untill and unless the top authority or the minister indulges in corruption, underlings can never dare but the underlings have at least some fear in the form of CBI or various vigilance agencies but corruption is continuing and increasing by the day because of only one factor and that is these ministers, MPs and top government authorities have been kept out of the ambit of probe and prosecution by the constitution and they are looting the nation without any fear and we need to protect our vibrant & great democracy...

The Langas and Manghaniyar From The Thar

                                                                       
In our era, the Langas still have the Sindhi Sipahi for Jajmans. They are a modest caste of Muslim farmers. Their stringed instrument, the sindhi sarangi (in reference to the Pakistani Sind Valley which prolongs this cultural air) and the gujrati sarangi (which refers to a region in the southern part of Rajasthan, the Gujarat) are the domain of Saran giya Langa (the players of sarangi and satara, the double flute of pastoral origin) while the Suraniya Langa reserve for themselves wind instruments such as the shahnai (oboe) and the murli (clarinet). In the past, the tradition linked to certain religious orders of Islam prevented the Langa from using percussion. Those times seem faraway, for today almost all of the Langa play the dho!ak in accompaniment in the same way that the Man ghaniyar do. Even the karthal of the Manghaniyar can be found pounding in the Langa hands today. The fraying of tradition and modification of social structures has a tendency to create a phenomena of uniformity. Nevertheless, the Manghaniyar still do not use the sarangi of the Langa, but continue to prefer the kamaica, a heavy string sculpted from the wood of the mango tree with a round wooden resonating case (tabli).

The Manghaniyar who inhabit the villages at the edge of the Thar Desert play mostly for castes who are Hindu, which explains the difference between their repertory and that of the Langa. Like the Lautauri gypsies of Rumania and the griots of Mauritania or elsewhere, the musicians of Rajasthan disperse themselves geographically in relation to the residences of their Jajmans. In contemporary society, where points of reference change very quickly, the ancestral contract still exists between the Manghaniyar and the Rajput, who assimilated into the ancient and mythic Ksatri, the ancient warrior caste. But they no longer necessarily have the allure and wealth of ancient Rajahs. Given that certain professions such as commerce and artisanal labour are considered impure and forbidden to them, the Rajput of today may be simple farmers or taxi drivers whose limited means only permit them to symbolically support the musicians through small contributions and gifts. This explains why everyone is no longer a musician in the Man ghaniyar community. The particular speciality of the Manghaniyar are the mota git (long songs) as opposed to chota git, "shorter" and more ritualistic songs. Often in Rajasthan, these songs are given raga names, such as sorath, maru, sindhi bhairavi.
these names, which sometimes designate certain sites, do not correspond to classical hindustani rage of the same name. After a slow poetic vocal introduction without rhythm (duha), the Manghaniyar stretch out the mota git, whose richness of depth and complexity as can be remarked in these recordings. Anwar Khan's vocal work precisely brings to light the ornamentation which undeniably sends us back to the very origins of certain classical singing.
                                                          

The Rakhi To Those Monarchs

The Rakhi. — ' The festival of the bracelet ' is in spring, 
and whatever its origin, it is one of the few when an intercourse of gallantry of the most delicate nature is established between 
the fair sex and the cavaliers of Rajasthan. Though the bracelet 
may be sent by maidens, it is only on occasions of urgent
danger or necessity . The Rajput dame bestows with the Rakhi the 
title of adopted brother and while its acceptance secures to her 
all protection of a cavaliers servant, scandal itself never
suggests any other tie to his devotion. He may hazard his life in
her cause, and yet never receive a glance in reward, for he
cannot even see the desired object who,as brother of her adoption

has constituted him her defender.

 But there is a charm in the mystery of such connexion, never endangered by close observation, and the loyal to the fair may well attach a value to the public recognition of being the Rakhi-band Bhai, the ' bracelet-bound brother '. The intrinsic value of such pledge is of Scripture the same notion is referred to.The mother of Sisera asks " Have they not divided the prey ; to every man a damsel or two ? ' Badaoni says that Humayun hesitated to 

interfere because Bahadur was attacking an infidel never looked 

to, nor is it requisite it should be costly, though it 
varies with the means and rank of the donor, and may be of 
flock silk and spangles, or gold chains and gems. The acceptance 
of the pledge and its return is by the kachhli, or corset, of
simple silk or satin, of gold brocade and pearls.
There is nothing similar in Europe, and as defending the most 
delicate part of the structure of the fair, it is peculiarly 
appropreate as an emblem of devotion. A whole province has often 
accompanied the Kachhli, and the monarch of India was so pleased by this courteous delicacy in the customs of Rajasthan, on 
reciving the bracelet of the princess Karnavati, which invested  him with the title of her brother, and uncle and protector to her infant Udai Singh, that he pledged himself to her service, "even if the demand were the castle of Ranthambhor."

 Humayun proved himself a true knight, and even abandoned his 

conquests in Bengal when called on to redeem his pledge and 

succour Chitor, and the widows and minor sons of Rana Sanga.

Humayun had the highest proofs of the worth of those courting his

protection ; he was with his father Babur in all his wars inIndia
and at the battle of Bayana his prowess was conspicuous, and is 
recorded by Babur's own pen. He amply fulfilled his pledge, 
expelled the foe from Chitor, took Mandu by assault, and, as 
some revenge for her king's aiding the king of Gujarat, he sent 
for the Rana Bikramajit, whom, following their own notions of 
 the gift of the Rakhi.
The author, who was placed in the enviable situation of being

 able to do good, and on the most extensive scale, was the means of restoring many of these ancient famihes from degradation to 

affluence.The greatest reward he could, and the only one he would, receive, was the courteous displayed in many of these 

interesting customs. He was the Rakhi-band Bhai of, and received ' the bracelet ' from, three queens of Udaipur, Bundi, and Kota, besides Chand Bai, the maiden sister of the Rana ; as well as 

many ladies of the chieftains of rank, with whom he interchanged letters. The sole articles of ' barbaric pearl and gold,' which

 he conveyed from a country where he was six years supreme, are

 these testimonies of friendly regard. 

Intrinsically of no great value, they were presented and accepted in the ancient spirit, and he retains them with a sentiment the more powerful, because he can no longer render them any service.

The Rakhi Sanskrit of raksha,protection is primarily a protective amulet assumed at the full moon of Saawan (July -August). It was worn on this date to avert the unhealthiness of the rainy season. Even Jahangir and Akbar too followed the custom, introduced by their Hindu ladies. 

Saawan .

                   
Peacocks are singing sweet and loud your beautiful eyes are like a charms fascinating  and enticing the soul bride.. Dark clouds. Black thunder with a flash of lightening, Drops of rain, The smell of wet earth. The red gulmohar in all its glory....
 Shraavan the fifth month of the Hindu year, beginning in late July and ending in the third week of August. In the Tamil calendar, it is known as Aavani and is the fifth month of the solar year. Shraavan begins with the Sun's entry into Cancer.Being the period when the Monsoon hits the over heated plains of India, the season is celebrated in various ways.During Shravana the Hindu Community in most region practice Vegetarian Diet.In this month of Shraavan,Lord Shiva's devotees spend the month of Shraavan in complete austerities and worship of Shiva. To this day, devotees pour water and milk on ...the devouts spend the entire month in austere worship of the Lord, endingin the shravan Purnima on the Raksha Bandhan day eve.every monday of shraavan people offer water and milk to propitiate the lord Shiva.

It is a pleasant to take long walks or to go out on picnics. During the Shraavan maas,Teej ,Gangaur festivals denotes the commencement of the rains... The festival is organized for two days in the Hindu month of Shravan, which usually  is dedicated to the Goddess Parvati, commemorating her union with Lord Shiva. ladies like to swing on the 'Jhulas' bejeweled with flowers. Young girls and women dressed in green clothes, sing songs in celebration of the initiation of the monsoon.celebration of the freedom from the scorching heat. The soothing drop of rains falling on the dry and scorched land, along with the pleasant smell of the wet soil discharges us from the unbearable heat of the summers. The melodious Saavan songs can be heard coming out of every house during the month.  The mango, the King of fruits, is the special fruit of this season. Mangoes of different varieties can be seen hanging in large numbers from the branches of trees. Young and old, rich and poor, all like to enjoy the fruit.
 The roads in the countryside become muddy and slippery. The drains are filled up. It is difficult to walk along the road.the roads are flooded. People have to wade through the water. Thus a heavy rainfall causes great inconvenience to people, specially the office-goers and workers.sufficient rainfall, the soil will remain saturated for long enough that crop' roots are starved of oxygen. In these cases crops turn yellow and may eventually die so Sawaan is very necessery for farms as underground water for whole year depend on these three months .Shraavan supports the livelihood of almost each person on this mother earth. 

Please End Endosulfan

India, which is one of the few big countries, that still allows use of endosulfan pesticide .

India is a prime dissenter in the ban, and accounts for 70% of the world production of Endosulfan (Rs4500 crores annually). India cites lack of scientific evidence as one of the key reasons to opposing the ban along with the fact that the proposed alternatives to Endosulfan are not currently affordable.

In many un-expected encounters..
Endosulfan is commonly sprayed on over 70 crops like vegetables, fruits, paddy, cotton, coffee, tea, cashew & timber. Studies have shown that in India, 20% of all fresh produce have pesticide residues above the maximum residue limit (MRL).
Many water bodies have endosulfan run-off & some studies have shown high endosulfan levels in fish
Potentially absorbed through the skin , as cotton crops are the significant users of endosulfan
Smokers through tobacco

A brief history of Endosulfan Endosulfan was first registered for use as a pesticide in the U.S by Hoechst (now Bayer CropScience) to control agricultural insects and mites on a wide variety of field, fruit and vegetable crops.
By 2000, after consistent reports of water contamination due to the run off from agricultural use, the EPA cancelled Bayer’s License to sell Endosulfan for use in Homes and Gardens. In 2002, after further studies by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, the EPA determined that Endosulfan residues in food and water posed high health hazards, and imposed further restrictions on agricultural use of Endosulfan.

In 2007, Endosulfan was recommended for inclusion in the Rotterdam Convention on Informed consent. This is a multilateral treaty to promote shared responsibility on the import and use of hazardous chemicals. Specifically, this convention requires informing purchasers of these hazardous chemicals on all known restrictions and bans, so that purchasers can make an informed decision on whether or not to buy these chemicals

How toxic is Endosulfan? The EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) classifies Endosulfan as “Ib” – Highly hazardous, as does the E.U. The Industrial Toxicological Research Centre (ITRC) in India also classifies Endosulfan as extremely hazardous.
Endosulfan is also widely considered to be a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP). POPs are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation and have been observed to persist in the environment, to be easily transported across long distances, to accumulate in human and animal tissue, increase in virulence in food chains, and have significant impact on human health and the environment.
Due to their chemical properties, POPs are semi volatile and insoluble. They attach themselves to particulate matter like soil, water and food, and travel long distances around the world, including places that do not even use them, like Antarctica.
Because of their eerie ability to travel, even countries that have banned POPs like Endosulfan, continue to find their residues in their food and environment as they travel from places where they are used.

How does Endosulfan affect human beings? Acute effects:
Endosulfan is highly toxic and can be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. Consuming it orally is found to be more toxic than absorbing it through the skin, and this toxicity increases in the presence of solvents like alcohol.
Endosulfan directly affects the Central Nervous System, and high levels of Endosulfan in the body lead to convulsions, epileptic seizure or death. It also comprehensively damages the internal organs like the liver, lungs and the brain.
Chronic Effects:
Endosulfan is a proven endocrine disrupter, and exhibits estrogen like properties similar to DDT. Experimental evidence shows that this property leads to delay in sexual maturation in males or damage of the reproductive system. It also increases the risk of breast cancer among women, and has the ability to alter the chromosomes in mammals, leading to a risk of birth defects.
Tests on laboratory animals show high carcinogenic properties and internal organ damage.
What happens to Endosulfan in the environment?
Endosulfan is fairly immobile in soil, and highly persistent. It breaks down into further toxic compounds, some of which increase in production in tropical areas. It does not easily dissolve in water, and can bio accumulate in the bodies of fishes and other aquatic organisms.

How widespread is the Endosulfan contamination in the environment? Endosulfan residues have been detected in air, water and soil samples in India, river water in China, lagoons in Spain, vegetation in Madagascar, Zambia and Ghana, water from the Alps, and river sediments in Malaysia.

How widespread is Endosulfan contamination in the food that we eat?
Endosulfan has been detected in food samples from across the world: Australia (beef), U.S.A and Canada (food samples), Brazil (tomatoes), Cyprus & Croatia (vegetables), India (vegetables, vegetable oil, and seeds).
A high level of Endosulfan has been detected in human breast milk in India, cord blood in Spain, and blood and urine in Croatia.

Has Endosulfan actually killed or harmed people? In India
Kerala was the first state in India to ban Endosulfan after a court order in 2003. This happened after the Endosulfan tragedy in Kasargode, which is widely considered one of the worst pesticide disasters to happen to a region.
Aerial spraying of cashew plantations began in 1978, and was done 3 times a year covering 15 gram panchayats in Kasargode. There were many warning signals which the decision makers ignored like the mass death of bees, fishes, foxes, birds, and congenital deformities in cows.
Endosulfan is a stomachic and quick contact poison, which destroys quickly but is non-specific, so kills everything it comes into contact with (not just the insect pests it is meant to destroy).
In 1994, independent health observations by a local health doctor, revealed a rising incidence of mental illness and congenital anomalies in Kasargode. Initially radioactive toxicity or heavy metal poisoning of the water bodies was thought to be the reason behind this. After several more complaints in areas where Endosulfan was being sprayed and the work of many national and international groups, Endosulfan spraying was linked back to the abnormal health problems at Kasargode.
The commonly noted diseases were neurobehavioral disorders, congenital malformations in girls, and reproductive tract abnormalities in males. Another report showed increased rate of cancer and gynaecological abnormalities.
Good gesture
Endosulfan is just one of the many toxic compounds that are routinely sprayed on food. Several organisations and concerned parties are battling with the Indian government to reverse its stand on Endosulfan. The good news is that under all this pressure, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has decided to have a scientific enquiry on the effects of Endosulfan and has promised to take a more considered view on the subject.

There are no debates on this – It is time to embrace organic food. Most major cities have 3 – 4 organic outlets, so supply is no longer an issue. Even if it is not possible to consume only organic produce ALL the time, every little bit helps.

Is our lifestyle a killer ?

You feel proud to be a part of urban world. Isn’t it? The long working hours, junky flabby food, freedom of alcohol & smoke, parties lessening your sleep, late marriages & later pregnancies etc, surely fascinates everyone. But do you realize that this lifestyle might show you a classy urbanite but is taking you away from your healthy mind & body.

Oncologists opine that it is alarming to see younger patients walking into cancer care clinics with serious problems. As opposed to the West, the biggest concern is that patients getting affected with serious cancers are 20 years younger comparatively.A remarkable 90-95% of cancer cases are caused by your environment and lifestyle. Lifestyle factors linked to cancer include alcohol, sun exposure, environmental pollutants, infections, stress, obesity, and physical inactivity. The biggest determinants of your cancer risk however are whether or not you are exposed to tobacco smoke and the quality of your diet. Of all cancer-related deaths around 25-30% is due to tobacco and as many as 30-35% are linked to diet.

According to Dr. Sunil Gupta, Senior Oncologist, Rajeev Gandhi Cancer Institute, “Most of these cancers are lifestyle driven and are due to unhealthy habits like no exercise, overweight, popping hormonal pills, smoking, and tobacco chewing etc. Unfortunately, people think cancer is for the old and don't even get themselves screened but we would like to tell them that cancer is not just about the old anymore.”If we look at the feminine gender, Cervical Cancer is stalking them the most.

But besides urban, more cases are reported from rural areas. It is mainly because of poor hygiene habits. Another type of cancer that is steadily increasing is breast cancer followed by stomach cancer, both directly related to the sedentary urban lifestyle.“We see a rise in the working women population because they have late pregnancies and start breastfeeding much later. Also they tend to take too many self medicated hormonal pills and survive on junk food which is contributing to the rise.” says Dr. Shyam Aggarwal, Senior Medical Oncologist, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.

We all know that Cancer is a preventable lifestyle disease yet every year it claims tens of billions of human lives with drug treatment costing hundreds of billions. Despite enormous investment in cancer treatment most cancer therapies are highly toxic, ineffective and unaffordable to greater than 80% of the world population. Therefore, more attention needs to be paid to lifestyle.

सिवाय सरकारी नौकरी के.......

तमिलनाडु के एक कलेक्टर ने अपनी छह साल की बेटी को एक सरकारी स्कूल में भर्ती करवाया है.जब वे इस स्कूल में अपनी बच्ची के दाखिले के लिए पहुँचे तो दूसरे माँ-बाप की तरह कतार में खड़े हुए.दिल्ली के एक अख़बार में इस ख़बर का प्रकाशित होना ही साबित करता है कि यह कुछ असामान्य सी बात है.यक़ीनन ज़िलाधीश को उनके साथी अधिकारियों ने समझाया भी होगा. लेकिन वे नहीं माने. उन्होंने अख़बार से भी बात करने से इनकार कर दिया कि ये उनका निजी फ़ैसला है.किसी अफ़सर की बेटी सरकारी स्कूल में, आम लोगों के बच्चों के साथ कैसे पढ़ सकती है?

वहाँ किसानों और मज़दूरों के बच्चे पढ़ते हैं, उस वर्ग के बच्चे जिनके लिए दो जून की रोटी के बाद इतना पैसा बचता ही नहीं कि वे सरकारी स्कूल के अलावा कहीं और अपने बच्चे को पढ़ा सकें.अब सरकारी स्कूल में किसी अफ़सर, नेता, व्यापारी, उद्योगपति, डॉक्टर और ऐसे ही किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के बच्चे नहीं पढ़ते जो उच्च या मध्यवर्ग में आते हैं. जो महंगे निजी स्कूल में नहीं जा सकते वो किसी सस्ते निजी स्कूल में जाते हैं, लेकिन सरकारी स्कूल में नहीं जाते.

ठीक वैसे ही जैसे इस वर्ग के लोग और उनके रिश्तेदार सरकारी अस्पताल में इलाज के लिए नहीं जाते. एम्स और पीजीआई जैसे कुछ अपवाद हो सकते हैं लेकिन वहाँ भी वो तब जाते हैं जब जेब जवाब दे जाती है या और कोई चारा नहीं होता.

वो सरकारी बसों में नहीं चढ़ते, सरकारी डाक व्यवस्था के इस्तेमाल को टालते हैं. वो सरकारी कंपनियों के उत्पाद नहीं ख़रीदते यहाँ तक कि टेलीफ़ोन जैसी सुविधा में भी निजी कंपनी को तरजीह देते हैं.सरकारी के नाम पर वे रेल और सड़क जैसी गिनी चुनी चीज़ों का ही इस्तेमाल करते हैं. वो भी इसलिए कि उसका विकल्प नहीं है.

एक प्रोफ़ेसर का आकलन है कि संपन्न वर्ग को तो छोड़ दीजिए अब मध्यवर्ग के लोग भी हर उस सुविधा के इस्तेमाल को अपनी तौहीन समझते हैं जो सरकारी है.हालात इतने ख़राब हैं कि यदि कोई व्यक्ति पैसा खर्च करने में ज़रा सा भी सक्षम है तो वह सरकारी कंडोम पर भी भरोसा नहीं करता.

वैसे तो ये सरकार के लिए चिंता की बात होनी चाहिए लेकिन सरकार को चलाने वाले राजनेता और अधिकारी दोनों को इसकी चिंता नहीं दिखती.न्यायालयों को इस बात पर चिंता ज़ाहिर करते नहीं देखा कि सरकारी स्कूल इतने बदहाल क्यों है कि हर कोई अपने बच्चे को सरकारी स्कूल में भेजने से कतराता है. भेजता वही है जिसके पास विकल्प नहीं है या दोपहर को मिलने वाले उस भोजन की चिंता है जो न्यायालय के कहने पर सरकारी स्कूलों में बाँटा जा रहा है.

आज से दो दशक पहले स्थिति इतनी ख़राब नहीं थी. यक़ीन न हो तो उन राजनेताओं, अधिकारियों और न्यायाधीशों से बात करके देखिए जो आज से बीस साल पहले किसी छोटे शहर के प्रायमरी स्कूल में पढ़ते थे. उनमें से अधिकांश आपको किसी न किसी सरकारी स्कूल में पढ़े हुए मिल जाएँगे. उनका जन्म किसी न किसी सरकारी अस्पताल में हुआ होगा.

लेकिन आज क्या वे अपने बच्चों का जन्म किसी सरकारी अस्पताल में होने की कल्पना कर सकते हैं? क्या वे अपने बच्चे को किसी सरकारी स्कूल में पढ़ने भेजेंगे?

ये आज़ादी के बाद के पाँचवें और छठवें दशक में सरकारी व्यवस्था में हुए पतन का सबूत है. ये सरकारी प्रश्रय में निजी व्यवसाय के पनपने का सबूत भी है. ये नेहरू के समाजवादी भारत का मनमोहन सिंह के पूंजीवादी भारत में तब्दील हो जाने का सच है.

हमने अपनी आँखों से देखा है कि सरकारी अमला किस तरह से एक सरकारी व्यवस्था को धीरे-धीरे इसलिए ख़राब करता है ताकि निजी बेहतर दिखने लगे और आख़िर सरकारी व्यवस्था दम तोड़ दे या फिर उसका निजीकरण किया जा सके.

तमिलनाडु के ज़िलाधीश की बच्ची के सरकारी स्कूल में जाते ही सरकारी अमले ने उस स्कूल की सुध लेनी शुरु कर दी है. पक्का है कि अगर ज़िलाधीश की बच्ची वहाँ दो चार साल पढ़ पाई तो उसका नक्शा और स्तर सब बदल जाएगा.

लेकिन यह एक अपवाद भर है.

परिस्थितियाँ तो उस दिन बदलेंगीं जिस दिन हर राजनेता और अधिकारी अपने बच्चों को ऐसे ही सरकारी स्कूलों में भेजने का फ़ैसला कर ले.

यह समय है जब हम भ्रष्टाचार जैसी व्यापक समस्या के बारे में बात करते हुए ये भी सोचें कि जो कुछ भी सरकारी है वह धीरे-धीरे निकृष्ट क्यों होता जा रहा है ... सिवाय सरकारी नौकरी के.
