visa,
i have thought about this a few times as to who is the real beggar in the modern society?
is it the poor folks whom you see in the streets with their arms stretched and clothed in rags? or is it the middle class, who demand their subsidies for petrol or electrcity or rationed rice? or is it the mittals and ambanis, who get tax breaks for throwing out the tribals out of their ancient lands and either set up steel mills, or export the whole land all the way to korea or china?
i remember when i was young, there used to be a hill call kudramukhi (horse face) in karnataka. the whole was sold to japan, till the hillock is no more.
at that time, i remember being angry. now, 40+ years later and much more exposed to the horrors and injustices of the world, and also staring at my own mortality, just look at these with a winsome sadness. and let it pass.
thank you.
