Cleanliness is Godliness
This is an issue in India
the issue has few fundamental problems
1. the first concern is we are a largest democratic country--lot of people we got to talk but few to swing into action
2.second concern is our population , we may have large food produce , numerous banks, shops ,eating outlets , but all will be crowded at all the time
3.we lack the basic instinct of keeping our surroundings clean--even in Kerala , God's own country , we have beautiful houses with garden etc but narrow roads
4.our people accept dirty filthy surroundings as a philosophy of life , they think that our body decays and merge with the earth, eventually we also become part of the dirt and why not live in that ?
5. awareness of food and water contamination ,we need another decade to promote that idea into people’s mind . one lesson in every school year of education about health hazards and environment will carry the message forward .there must be definitely one or two questions from this subject being asked so that everybody reads about it without fail .lessons on family planning , protected sex , drug addiction etc can be taught at later part of the school education
6.we can be disciplined provided it is implemented firmly and we cannot get it on our own as we like shortcuts
before i conclude , I want to narrate a scene from the movie --""a passage to india"
scene 1--two british ladies travelling in a train ( north india) and they point to two indian men and say --" look at the place ,where they are preparing the tea "
cut scene 1
scene 2 --two Indian men preparing tea in the toilet compartment of the same coach by the side of a western toilet seat
cut scene 2
scene 3 -- the British ladies having their cup of tea
thanks
