If we are to believe media, the rural and
the poor – 70% of the total population – do not
exist. We have been persuaded by politicians, journalists and
socialites to believe that Rakhi Sawant's kiss is a more pressing matter than the issues
of health facilities, water, poverty, education, law and
order, delicate urban infrastructure and many many more basic
necessities of life. This, one must emphasize, is scandalous.
NyayaBhoomi's website is not for the
satisfaction of intellectuals’ hunger for the hot topic of
the day, where yesterday is forgotten and liaisons of a
newcomer actress with cricket stars take precedence over suicide by
1,000s of farmers. We look at the
current status of important aspects of nation’s life as well
as major issues confronting us today. We look at the real
India – India that sends those pot bellied, shapeless and
shameless politicians into parliament who eventually control
everybody’s destiny – India that has been largely ignored.
No real progress in the country is possible unless our actions
and discussions begin to touch upon the lives of the masses.
On this site, you will find no more of the
so-called positive virtues of India and the greatness of its
culture that we ceaselessly continue to brag about. This
chauvinism has led us nowhere, much less forward. Instead, we
focus on what has terribly gone wrong since independence; What
has made this richly endowed country a nation of beggars,
poor, deprived, disease, filth and utter misery; Why nothing
seems to work here, nothing moves. Why India has failed its
citizens in the most primary of duties, and why we inhabit the
most sticky nation on earth.
On each of the following pages, you will
see a snapshot of the current status of some of the major
ailments that afflict our country. Of course, we are not
talking about solutions yet; solutions that lie in reduction in
the size of the government and its
interference in our daily lives, empowerment and freedom of
the individual and getting rid of the misplaced ideals of
socialism, communism and
harassment in the name of governance by our mai-baap sarkar. |
