Circus on Road..

Circus was quite popular 15-20 years back, but it got diminished in day today life and it is replaced by cyber entertainment. The laughter of clowns, thriller of acrobats, and catch up of animals, where is it now. It is now on road. You must have seen small children, using their tactics to catch attention, and in return they request for coins. Clowns, standing infront of what we so called- Dhabas. And Animals, they are now very far from our sight.





Well, my concern over here is not to find these people, my concern is to segment them together to find where we lagged. Today, life is rolling on fast wheels, where we are alone. Either we watch others or we do not care. We admire our ideals, we admire the people that are successful. Questioningly, shouldn't we also look at these people, who are still fighting against hunger, risk and poverty. Our nation economics are far from these people, nation's development plans are far from their reach. Nation's policies are continuously depriving these people. Even during election time they are neglected, because they do not have Right to Vote. Undeniably, their statistics in nation census might not be correct.  What all government did till today is, destroyed their shelters, asked them to migrate to some other place, and that forced these people to come on road. Now road is giving shelter to Lakhs of people, and like circus: they are making money by catching people's attention.  

Nation prohibits Child Labor, isn't this kind of earning is not labor. Their parents are insufficient to fill their own stomachs, then who will pay for their daily expenses. Planning Commission of India has shown a decline of 2.18%, where the major decline was observed in rural (2.32%) as compared with urban (1.69%). If cities are called as advanced, then why there is decline. Answer to above observation is sure shot that  there is limited opportunities for the inner‐city poor to find adequate jobs, and so the scope for them to grow is limited. Now it's the high time that Government and Societies should come forward to raise them. Instead of donating reservation quotas to caste and minorities, some part should be allotted to them from it. That will help these poor children to get good education, while their parents can earn something by doing helping jobs.  The nation target should not only be to add to the numbers, but also to roll legislation and schemes more quickly, by that equal access and benefits can reach to the underprivileged section, so by that nation will have better governance.

Let's build better tomorrow!
