The two signs “ignorance- (the
most common) and the greed (at the top)” desolate and despair human from other
existing race in the universe. Though of
social and technical advanced, ignorance in the 21st century is our
choice. It is not necessary to mention that the consequences of the ignorance,
as one must have come through the recent unveiling scenario of the
Uttarakhand.
In spite of reacting on the
alerts provided by the meteorological department, our politicians and higher
authorities were engaged in framing one-man ship on the issue. However we know
that the natural calamities cannot be avoided but it can be tackled, if we are
well prepared and well equipped. But
most of the times we fail to do so. The recent calamity in the kedarnath shows
how well prepared we are.
The heavy death toll rate is
only due to the ignorance. If our brother and sister would have alerted before
the disaster, then they would have prevented themselves from the ravage of the
flood. Though of helping the victims of
the disaster, none of a single state representative participated in the
campaign, the entire rescue operation was covered by our nation hero’s in
uniform.
Apart from the ignorance,
human needs and greeds too helped in such fragile scenario. The need of
comfort, luxury has grazed all the humanity from the man. Though we know that
senseless planning, haphazard development and deforestation erode the soil, as
a result landslides and floods can be the outcome during heavy rain. But “who
cares for the nature and the ecosystem, we are the one and can play with god”
is the thinking of the generous people. The greed of the man does not see any
barrier. Liquors, Hookahs, and massive construction near to the holy place will
result in such heavy death toll rate.
Unless and until we care for
the nature, there will be always such outcomes.
It is a cruel remainder from the nature regarding how our nation is
incapacitate against natural calamity and what would be the consequences of man
greed.
