First it was caste, now class; a disparity has to exist. True human rights education begins at home, and schools too should perpetuate this from day one of a child’s schooling so that the concept of equality becomes ingrained rather than outsourced at a later age.

An excellent piece of prose, and a valuable message.

Overpopulation is the root cause of all evils in our society and is much worse than corruption. Smaller population is always fed ample, taught free education atleast to highschool and managed well with less disparities between top and bottom earners.

India is an extreme example where mob & corrupts will rule this country if population control is not taken care of because they dare to dance naked on streets even if their number is much less than those who cannt dare naked dance. The naked dancer’s number is good enough to scare away others divided people to their home in locked condition. These naked people will rob your hard earned & taxed money right in front of your eyes and you are helpless. How can you expect is such jungle raj to respect & get respect. Forget it.. it’s the wildest dream.

Immediately after reading this piece i could connect with the author. I still remember the face of an unknown boy at a traffic signal trying to peddle childrens’ books. Seeing him, i felt obliged to buy one. When the signal turned green, i gave him another glance and he smiled back. It was one of the most wonderful smiles in the world which conveyed sincere gratitude. But it only ended up making me feel still more miserable. Tears welled up as i realised that i was powerless to drag him out of his present situation.

in playing down preachings.. she herself is preaching…..Indians do not have to travel to west to learn how to treat the poor… the west has enough problems of racism, inadequate banking systems and capitalistic mammoths …. just ask INDIANS to wake up to the problem… good enough

BRILLIANT ARTICLE!!! I was so overwhelmed after reading it because it is an accurate echo of my thoughts and feelings put into words! The disparity between a rich man and a poor man in our country is simply outrageous, and yet, sometimes we cannot do anything about it. I dunno what to say now..I’m at a loss for words just thinkin about it again..

We need a great movement similar to the one started by Anna Hazare to ensure that the social security bill for the unorganised sector is implemented in totality, I think that will indeed be the magic wand to wipe out disparity to a great extent. Only the fear of the law will make our people pay adequate wages to their housemaids, watchman, etc.

I agree that whatever has been stated is true, except that we should learn from west?? Perhaps we should go deeper into our own culture/history – BEFORE we were enslaved by mugals/brits…… We have acquired a greed of an insecure individual, which in turn is also the mentality of a slave… We need to strengthen our “values” and be more honest with ourselves….
