Now that we have done with humiliating a nation because of misdemeanour (moronic would be better) of an individual and got our pride back shouldn’t the Srilankan government summon the Indian envoy and express that country’s displeasure?. It’s like this: sometime back i was watching a Hindi channel, quite popular one need add, it is supposed to be about laughter. The joke of the day was on colour of the skin of legendary Srilankan batsman Sanath Jayasuriya. The pun was on expected line... since he is dark skinned he couldn’t be seen by viewers and needs light. Some in India might think this is what fun is (like some in New Zealand). But their views are not shared by civilised people around the world, for them this is blatant racism. It is definitely no laughing matter. There is no humour here but obnoxious and regrettable understandings. Just because it is in Hindi doesn’t mean it is less grievous-the New Zealand fellow spoke in English therefore we understood. If Indians are quick to take offense on these matters then they should also be open to scrutiny. Does anyone around the world know how degrading people from this part of the world can be? Joke at the expense of religion, caste, colour, gender and so on should have zero tolerance. Those running ‘entertainment’ shows this blogger has this to say: You cannot have jokes at expense of others to cover your lack of innovation and talent. World outside India is not all Fair & Lovely. We are looking at can of worms, sofar hidden under the cloak of hypocrisies and great Indian tolerance. This blogger expects world to be severe on Indians too. Shouldn’t the Indians apologise to the Srilankans?.
Post script: now I hear that Australian envoy is being summoned because of some misdeed of dimwits in Australian police. Clearly such attitudes are not expected from Police force but then should these be given such importance that too in this country? Should the Government of India get involved? I also need to point out the tardy response of sports ministry with regard to injury of Ugandan players.
Talking about shit...i am right now in Odisha (Chilka to be precise), most people around here are terrifyingly poor, emaciated and malnourished. Concept of hygiene is generally non existent, it is so shocking you wonder how they survive. Then you realize most really don't, this place is low on human development indice, and cou
ld be worst in the world. Next to Chilka lake there is a shed-most likely for tourists to wait for boat-but i found it with people sleeping, annoyed i wondered whether these people have nothing else to do or some other place to lie down. Later i walked around the place, it is appallingly dirty and heavy rain has clogged. Mud houses were half submerged-children though were merry catching fish-women managing their household in dry patches, vicinity of the house was kept clean. Probably the shed was one of the very few places they could stretch themselves. Now the question is why are these people so very poor?
Most people make a subsistence from fish and subsidiaries. They are quite hardworking and industrious (some men do wile away their time playing cards), some are also very talented in converting bamboo into useful and intricate product, watching these itself is an experience.
Why is that they
don't make money? Clearly these don't have market value, therefore despite being talented and hardworking they have tough time and “live in shit”. Now a very important question here is how is that New Zealand fellow able to make so much money and “not live not in shit”. You will notice our man may not have any specific talent or competence but the system has seen to that he makes as much money in a month that the people in chilka may not make in a decade. It is not really about uncouth fellow in NZ but also in this part of the world. Some people talk rubbish, do rubbish and make huge amount of money while people who matter-or on whom society is dependent, like say farmer, artisans, people having traditional understanding so on- ‘live in shit’. What kind of system is this?.
Picture is that of a boy who could be seven or eight controlling the steering of the boat in chilka lake, in hot midnoon in the deeper part of lake, another pic is that of boy who was found sculpting out this beautiful statue in another part of the state (more photo will be put in Photo Blog soon), who didn't even had the time to look up, so absorbed was he in his work. Girls going to school in cycles which seem to be some kind of trend here...
