Its a bane in India and there will be always a group to oppose whatever happens. No one will think whether its good or bad but blindly oppose things. Even after 60 years of Indepence, if people are divided in the name of language barrier, its a shame to this country, and it shows how the politicians are manipulating us. People should be happy that atleast Bhosle is a hindu and a beliver.
While talking about opposition, I remember the yesterday's Vijay TV Neeya Naana. I seldom watch this but since the topic was catchy, I started watching it. The debate was on the move to make one year rural service compulsory to the MBBS students. The highlight was towards the end, Hon. Central Health Minister Dr.Anbumani was brought in for answering questions. He handled the situation really well and he was brilliant. The basic point he made is, after 60 years, India is compared in IT against developed countries like US, UK, Japan, Russia etc. while in Medical service its compared against countries like Burma, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Kenya etc, which is a shame for us.
He said, to aleviate rural medical issues, this is just one of the steps by the govt. and its not only in TN but will be implemented in the whole country.
For this the students who were opposing the move, said, they are not selfish not to do rural service, but they demanded, instead of one year compulsory rural service, why cant the govt. give them job assurance. If job is assured they are ready to go anywhere (meaning to rural areas).
Here came the googly from the minister. He said there are lots of posts in backward states like Bihar, meghalaya, Chatisgarh and north east and he can give them a job gaurentee if they are ready to go there.
The anchor was terrible and asked the opposers to give in writing stating that they are ready for this, becuase their demand of job assurance has been given by the Central minister himself.
Avanga moonchiya pakkanume, eee adala...people were dumb struck and no one could react. pei arancha mathiri ayitanga. after repeated demand from the anchor, they didnt had any option, since they have given their word that they will go anywhere if job is assured, they signed the agreement. (what will happen henceforth - god only knows)
I am not saying whether the move is right or wrong, but people oppose even good things without seeing the bigger picture. Unless each and everyone of us feel that its our country and try to do our bit, even if its a simple thing like saying no to plastic bags, not littering on the road, keeping environment clean, saving energy etc, we can climb up the ladder very fast.
But selfishness is on top priority. God save this country.
Hi Sathish, I do agree with you.I have started to say no to plastic bags when i go shopping. Though a small act i feel good for not having taken it. with regards, shanthi palaninathan.
though it may sound out of place i wish to make a few things clear on plastic bags and other environmental propaganda.
in the opinion of many environmentalists plastics are no more polluting than paper bags or cloth bags. only that they pollute the places of production rather than the place of the end user. paper industry is still supported mainly by deforestation and the process is one of the most polluting ever. seen a river down stream after a paper plant? and cotton is one of the most insecticide sprayed crops. all these affect the locations where the raw materials are procured or product manufactured. they seem clean in the place of use( thats our place) they are not eyesores.
to be truthful nothing can be non polluting if designed in the last few centuries. in facts plastics can be recycled and reused. and so can paper.
recycling is the watchword in environmental friendly lives. venketesh
Any input/output if exceeds a critical limit, becomes poison or pollution. Moderation in consumption and output is the watch word.
Recycling can be done effectively if segregation is done at the collection stage itself. The electronic industry has taken the lead in this, as many are ready to take back the goods for recycling and safe disposal.
