The Poor Dog and We Silly Indians : In the mirror of Food Security Bill

It is very episodic to narrate a situation before all conscious and vigilant intellectuals as well as before them also, those who never involve themselves in any relevant or irrelevant issues. And the situation begins with a question. Have you ever seen a street dog engrossed in crushing and chewing a rough and dry yet a totally waste piece of  bone? Hope, many of you have seen it. But, how many of you have ever noticed that what exactly happens during this entire process? Do you think that if that poor dog gets any food material or any nutrition from that waste bone? Or, does it satisfies any organic or biological need of that poor dog? Surprisingly, the answer for all such questions or curiosities are "NO".

Then, what exactly makes that dog so engrossed or preoccupied with that waste piece of bone? Now, let me explain the actual happening. While crushing and chewing of that bone it gets several cuts and injury on the tongue and in entire oral cavity of that poor dog and there its a secretion of blood from all those injuries. The dog gets a taste of live blood and feels that if the taste is coming out from that bone only. The poor dog remains in that confused bias for ever. And, becomes a victim of this beguilement of destiny every time.

Neither that poor dog nor we silly Indians have been able to understand this pitiless deception. But, our politicians have understood it much better since a long time and they have mastered in using this as an ultimate weapon in any such situation when it is beneficial to curb or dilute the attention in their favor.

Perhaps, this is the same situation when another piece of bone has been offered in the name of "Food Security Bill". This is not the first time, we have received such decoy ducks. Earlier also in the name of  "Public Distribution System", "Mid-Day Meal Scheme", "Antyoday Anna Yojana", "Aanganwadi Yojana" and several other schemes which sounds like an ultimate scheme for the welfare of the poor, unprivileged and malnourished class of society.

It has gone years and nothing has changed. People are dyeing every year due to malnutrition. Poor people are getting poorer every year. Politicians are busy with the game of data and figures, which have always been proved as an instrument to cover up the miserable misdeeds of these politicians. Till now there is no such established classification is available which may define that to whom government considers really a poor person of the society?

"Public Distribution System" has been established with an identity as a secured institution of scams and monkey sharing among Politicians and Administrative Officers. But who cares? Damn It!!!          

The ignominious status of "Mid-Day Meal" scheme has been well exposed. But who cares? Damn It!!!

"Antyoday Anna Yojana" is another name of a scheme which has been proven with enough roominess for grievous scams. But who cares? Damn It!!!

Then it is "Aanganwadi Yojana". A proven and rich resource of scams at every level of its implementation. But who cares? Damn It!!!

All such schemes are there in effect but, unable to serve the cause they were introduced for. Unfortunately, the poor class of the society has been further divided into different classes like Below poverty level, Above poverty level and those who are beggars have yet not been kept in any such class. This is an attempt to create a wall among those poor people. Many a times it has been a reason of fight among each other in the name of their rights and eligibility for such schemes.

While giving a "Close Watch" to these fights you'll also find it very similar to the fights of dogs when one gets a piece of bone and the rest don't get it at all.

Though the "Food Security Bill" has gained the confidence in parliament and passed, but has it got the confidence of the nation? The situation suggests the intention while implementing this bill as a gross negligence of the interest of the people and nation itself.

In a situation when the present government has registered a significant failure on every front of economic reforms, how can we trust to let them inaugurate a scheme which is going to put an additional liability of more than Rs 3.5 lakh crores.

I wish to be wrong in my apprehension, but what I apprehend that once again a few dogs will get their piece of bones and the rest shall remain fighting together for their piece of right...

It may sound gruesome and grisly, but aren't we pushed to witness the same situation???

Poor Street Dog

Pity!!!
