Travel to India.. tours that will fit your des-ire.
It has been some time before I wrote my last article, because there has been lots of sickness and even H1N1 scare in the family. All is settled by the grace of almighty.
So sorry my viewers and readers, and welcome again to my blogs at ardresis.com, an India specific travel site. Ardresis (India) fufills all your needs for travelling to India. Try and tell me if I was wrong.
You know, what is the best thing about India? It is such a vast country, that just the one visit to India is not good enough to know even 1% of what it is. So plan and be ready to plan ahead as well for more trips.
I will share with you in this article , what all can you plan to see as a tourist, especially first time tourist. You can identify your interest from amongst categories, such as, an adventure tourist, a spirtitulaistic tourist , a rejuvenating tourist, an explorer tourist , a relaxing tourist, an entertaining tourist, a general tourist or vacational tourist , a cultural tourist, a hills-monger, a sea-sun tourist , a nature lover tourist and so on. Once decided what is your choice, you can then target which all destinations will complement such intended sojourn that you plan to undertake in India. And India has it all-in-one package tourist destination , that perhaps no other destination in the world would offer. From dawn to dusk view differing in NEWS frontiers across the Indian territory, hills to river beds, dust to heavenly palaces , filth to rich elegance, sand dunes to sea shores, hutments to world class hotels, poverty to extreme richness, tonga(horse cart) drive to high class cars, density to barren country side, cultural vastness of varitable hues, handicrafts of historical landmarks, stone craft to mechanical excellence, art to architecture, pettiable beggar to kingsize fortutious living, temples to gods own country, and I can go on to confuse how many categories of tourists can be framed to justify one India. Decided what you want, and plan either of the following:
1. Famous” Golden Triangle tour”- Delhi,Agra and Jaipur- 3 mights 4 days is enough, this will take you to Taj grandeur, a must see for all tourists as Taj Mahal is the world’s most historical and one of the seven wonders that man created. The journey can take you to desert city of palaces, in Jaipur, with colourful hues of living and contrasting desert look of sand and forts provide something that is reminiscent of ancient India. And if you are one of the explorer and nature lover, do tell your agent to provide stop you over at Bharatpur Bird sanctuary, one of the richest and wildest stop overs you can ever imagine. Extending a day would be worth it. So you are a plain first timer, take this short sojourn that examplifies India. You have more time on you, than over a week, read on options in future articles based on your taste and interests.
One at a time, keep reading as I will keep adding more in the next posts soon.
See you soon at my ‘blog-o-India” series. Bye for now from web zesty.
Taj Mahal, is about India, its art , history , culture and authenticity. Destination India,’ Best Brand-Value for Money’or your “Invaluable Destination”.
Welcome to my “Blog-o-india” series and ardresis.com site, amongst best tour orgnisers in India. And I am very pleased that my advertisers ardresis, are not they my advertisers, will be happy with this article and so would be my travelling friends who have interest in India and travel to india.
According to this year’s Country Brand Index(CBI) survey done by Future Brand, an international brand consultancy, India is the ‘best country brand for value for money’.
The survey, done of about 3000 travellers from across the globe on business and vacation, rates India as the best value for money destination in 2008.
Travel and Tourism- is the world’s fastest growing economic sector, in value terms with billings translated into billions of dollars of business. International tourism receipts totaled $944 billion in 2008. This when the world faced the worst economic crisis since the 1930’s, and splurge on travel for leisure and entertainment was expected to be the first victim. The “Value for Money” tag seems to have been won if not for any other reason but for the low cost of living as per International standards and also interest in India for business reasons. This justifies the economic downtrend that the world is witnessing that the world craved for low costs and more business opportunities.
Though all time favourite and perennial Australia ranked among the best three, surprisingly United States bagged the top spot in over-all ranking ahead of Canada with Australia at number three, in the online survey conducted by Future Brand in partnership with public relations firm Weber Shandwick’s Global Travel and Life style Practice. Looks to be the Obama factor worked for the US here too, something like the peace prize he won for himself against odds, and Australia probably losing some sheen due to” sabotage-asian syndrome”- can we call it ” SAS” factor working against them in the race for top destination of the world, which is understandable and fair. We wonder with not many top slots won by US in key categories what made US top the honours still. Unless it was Peace and Obama which ruledthe minds of travellers as well, like the Norwegian committee. All said and done, US despite it’s illness due to Bush-bashing in Iraq, recession hogging lime light etc., it still rules the world mind and this US winning after the Nobel he won for himself, it must thank Obama’s rhetorics on terror, peace and global warming , which is quite applaudable. Good going without showing.
It will be interesting to know where were these 3000 travellers from, by the way, though the survey is purported to have been conducted amongst frequent international travellers from nine countries? The survey neverthless ranked India fourth best for doing business, after Japan , US and the UK. And this does not include China before India is some news, we will have to follow.
The survey was spread over 102 countries in diverse fields such as arts and culture, business, best place to raise family, political freedom, nightlife and environmentalism.
Though India is no where in the top league, it figured in the top 5 list in three categories- authenticity (No.2), history (No.2) and art and culture (No.3). Wonder what does it signify, except that it evinced interest in travelers to know its vast history, culture, art and authenticity in terms of what they hear is truth on witness? Significantly it made to the list of “rising stars” ( I hope the India shining advertisement has not paid off)- or, placed at no.6 amongst countries that are likely to become major tourist destination in the next five years- sharing honours with UAE, China, Vietnam, Croatia and South Africa. Unfortunately India figures no where in the top 5 slots for living, environment. Travel ease, friendly locals, living standard, safety, or even raising family (imagine the plight of residents) or even political freedom etc. With CWG 2010 just round the corner, the task to improve is enormous. So we guess we need do a lot on these fronts to enable raise the standards and compete with China and UAE in the run over next 5 years. 2010 will decide what ranking we can gain in travel and tourism, but with knowing the political class we have in the country, corrupt machinery and in fighting which has been exposed and we did not spare the CWG committee either, the task is daunting and difficult ahead. So we hope the political class will be hearing, listening, watching, seeing and will be doing, and not just talking, fighting and corrupting.
Donot bother if you hear bad about India, besides art , culture, history and authenticity, we have lot of good things and good people here. ‘Aththi devo bhavo’ means “Guests are God” . So be our guest. Govt.’s you do not need bother at all.
Coming to India ? See you soon. Keep visiting my world blogs at www.vijaymalhotra.com. I will welcome you personally if you land in Delhi and if you like my blogs.
Hrishikesh (Laxman Jhula),India
Hello and welcome to my ‘blog-o-india’ again. I wrote that I would be writing on this topic. No it’s not just out of travel obligation that I am writing this, but I was genuinely away to Hrishikesh.
Hrishikesh, to tell you a few things about, is famous centre of pilgrimage, situated in Dehradun District, under the state of Uttrakhand, right at the foothills of Himalaya in North India. This is known as gateway to Himalayas as the popular pilgrimage-sacred journey- called “Chardham Yatra” begins here, which includes visit to four (Char) Badrinath ,Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri (Dhams). As per Hindu scriptures and mythology, the place gets its name after Lord Vishnu, the God of Senses, who appeared to ‘Raibhya Rishi’, as a result of his tapasya (austerities) under a mango tree, as Lord Hrishikesh. Historically, Hrishikesh, is part of the legendary ‘Kedarkhand’ (Gharwal of today), the abode of Lord Shiva, whose long plaits(Kesh) perhaps draws the meaning. Legends state that Lord Rama, on the advice of SageVashishta Guru, did penance here for killing Ravana, king of Lanka, who kidnapped Maa Sita, his wife. While Lakshmana, his younger brother, crossed the river Ganges at a point, using a jute rope bridge, where the present day “Lakshman Jhula” (bridge made of iron-rope) stands today. The jute-rope bridge was replaced by an iron-rope( suspension bridge) in 1889, and when this got washed away in the 1924 floods, the stronger present bridge was built. There is another interesting story about this place. Lord Rama during his penance, did his meditation and other rituals on the river bank, was disturbed by the noise emanating from the flowing water of the river Ganges and Lakshmana out of rage shot an arrow in the river. It is believed that since then the river here mellowed down and is surprisingly very quiet. At nights, one can cross over the bridge without even knowing that a river flows underneath.
The sacred river Ganges flows through Hrishikesh. In fact, it is here that the river leaves the Shivalik mountains in the Himalayas and flows out into the plains of northern India. Several temples, ancient as well as new, can be found along the banks of the Ganges in Hrishikesh. The city attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists each year, from within India and other contries. Hrishikesh, nicknamed “the world capital of Yoga”, has numerous yoga centres and some of them promoted by foreign nationals, that also attract tourists. It is believed that meditation in Hrishikesh brings one closer to attainment of liberation(moksha), as does a dip in the holy river. It is also popular amongst white water rafting enthusiasts, both from India and abroad, as it offers medium to rough rapids in the course of river Ganges.
To tell you about my sojourn, I left on the 31st October’2009 and completed the journey by road leaving at 4.40a.m. to be there around 11.a.m. with just half an hour break midway at Cheetal Grand, a lovely place to halt for refreshing and refreshment. This is after one crosses Merrut. One must leave early hours incase one wants to avoid the Delhi rush, lest one could waste two hours cool in the stretch between Delhi and Merrut, supposed to be a highway, which is very bad during day time and is almost like a local drive in the old Delhi area. So this is a warning. Also the entire route till Haridwar, happens to be thick in traffic especially on such long weekends and Monday 2nd Novemver 2009, being a big festival of Sikhs, it is almost like Diwali for them, and a very pious day popularly known as GuruPurab, celebrated as birth anniversary of their Guru Nanakdev ji, the rush was expected to be super duper. It is also a very auspicious day as per Hindu calendar (Kartik Purnima day), when it is considered having a holy dip in any of the sacred rivers washes your sins. And the sinning continues thereafter…. Sorry! for being brutal here. Being not very far from Delhi, just about 200 kms, adds to the ease of mind to decide in favour of the trip, though the journey takes a cool 7 hours which tells you everything about the state of affairs of the country and state of Uttar Pradesh and Uttra-khand, and the national highways, and the importance of still reaching out on such privileged weekends of three holidays to this holy place. The highway stretch after Merrut, well has road widening being undertaken for donkey number of years though, is some small relief that you are able to complete the journey in 7 hours despite all the planning to leave early etc. in place. To reach Rishikesh, one has to cross Haridwar. It takes a good 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach Rishikesh after that. Haridwar, is one of the holiest places in Indian history with rich vedic and holistic influence, is believed to be named so as Lord Rama is also called Hari (God) in Indian scriptures and Dwar(means door), which is reminiscent of his stepping down here to begin his exile to Himalayas. Har ki Pauri, in Haridwar, is the focal point of Ganges, is named after him for it was here where Lord Rama is believed to have put his feet in the Ganges. A dip here at any time of the year is considered very sanctified one, and indeed the visit to the place and the evening Aarti(Prayer) just about sunset time, is very soothing and soul inspiring experience.
We crossed Haridwar to reach Rishikesh, without halting here because I am always there on a different mission God has blessed me with, to meet my Guru and take his blessings. Anyway both the places are equally pious and Hrishikesh is less congested, in case it interests my readers to know. The decision to leave early was right and the journey was a very pleasant one as weather is suddenly better this year, was told this is colder October month in nearly 13 years in the Northern belt of India.
Once there, it is like a heaven. I am not surprised that peace lives here otherwise why will we have so many foreigners visiting the place and also why we have some staying permanently with learning and teaching Yoga. Yes we do hear of some indecent and unholy persons who throng the area for wrong reasons of seeking false solace from drugs, but barring these secret odd outs the place lives its aura of sacredness to the full and peace abound.
The two days stay, under the shadow of revered Guru, was as usual very peaceful and soulful and the return journey had to be planned well, as on 2nd November, the day of Karthik Purnima when a dip in the Ganges is considered very auspicious, the rush was expected to be mad literally. So we planned to leave early and left at 4.a.m sharp. And as expected we had as early as 4.30 a.m., traffic problems in Haridwar already. With no real management around, the traffic which was not too dense yet, could have been managed better. But despite that the authorities would have anticipated such problems on the day, the situation is grim and that is how it is in India. We were happy to have left early, comprehending how would it have been had we left a little later. But all our happiness was short lived, as we got caught in a terrible Traffic Jam at the octroi post, just before entering the Muzaffanagar town. Shockingly, as you will know, we were into a Govt. created Jam with hundreds of buses ( quite expected on this day, ferrying dip hungry devotees) and trucks on the road blocking the traffic. They were awaiting clearance from Govt. and parked vehicles on each side of the road chaotically with no one manning the traffic flow. Hoard of private vehicles were unnecessarily struck and made to suffer for nearly one and a half hour and the queue grew longer every passing minute. Phew! Till as late as 8 a.m. there was no sign of any Govt. support in place. Koda, the earstwhile chief minister, is in the Intelligence net for corruption, which should tell you the concerns for public any one from the govt. side can have for the Public. You must agree that if the top is corrupt the down under must be. And corruption means and breeds absolute disregard to sense of duty. You differ? Then, please take a dip in Ganges. All said and done, we lost precious time and fuel already, and had to meet the rush hour traffic Merrut onwards. We reached Delhi but not before negotiating another Jam in the Chief Minister’s territory, right in the city, which will host 2010 CW Games. Be surprised to know that there is an old bridge in Delhi, perhaps heritage property Britisher’s built. This is called Wazirabad bridge, which is a traffic nightmare all day long and for ages, and is not far from the VIP area. This is over another scared river Yamuna which passes by Delhi, which we do not relish using to wash away the same sins we generate here, because we have spoiled it or may be we realize that our sins are so strong that only Ganges could handle same. The traffic is bad here for ages is a gross understatement, it is awful. This one lane bridge( mind it, minimum three lanes each side converge at one point into one lane bridge though used as two lanes) was built by Britishers perhaps, and when there was no Delhi beyond the bridge at all. Today perhaps half of Australia lives beyond the bridge in east part of Delhi alone. It remains so since independence, with torture growing from 0 – millions growth in population, and this signifies further how the political system in India worked since independence and how ruthlessly unconcerned are the politicians. It is narrow to the tube or pipette, and traffic converging as if from a rubber hose and to top it there is free for all with hardly any traffic management seen even at peak hours. The bridge ought to have been replaced at least twenty years ago and I bet this is no overstatement either. This bridge today belongs to and represents the Chief Minister’s home territory of East Delhi, which is most thickly populated area of Delhi. One can imagine the traffic density and the plight of people living in the city and having to criss-cross same often, as also how the politician’s class is. This chief minister is consistently in chair for past ten years, and for the third term, and Congress takes all credit for improvement of Delhi. We must admit that we are immune to their ways like they are to ourways and state, and they the politicians make hay. We must also admit that we have a very poor alternate in BJP. Congress admittedly has been the major party which has ruled the nation alone since independence and the country’s state of affairs are quite visible. So who do we relate this to? Yes, we hardly have an alternate and Congress have money (black in colour, ought to be) and muscle power to buy votes, more than the others. The state of affairs of the capital city, are shame ful and depicts easily how the rest of the country would be. The country has been largely in the hands of Congress since partition, and we know what kind of country we live in today after 60 years of independence. Nehru was greedy for prime minister ship of any India at all costs, be it minus Pakistan or any thing still less, and the legacy of Greed (changed color in the shape of corrupted Govt’s after Govt’s) persisted and has ruined India to this state of affairs. Public knows well that inflation is also result of grass-root corruption( hoarding in one form) and also knows well that whenever other Govt’s took charge the inflation is checked, but will still endorse the same congress to power which is synonymous with corruption and inflation all the time. Koda, the politician with congress patronage and links, stands exposed with 4000 crores of black money made in just three years time as per media reports, who is still being explored while writing this post, can not be an exception as Pranab Mukherjee rushed in to state and explain that he is and Congress only caught him. Were you napping when he did that? Thanks for this nervous meowing, for the country knows this is an exception who is caught and probed, and since Koda was no body but a small time fellow before joining politics, could not have had the courage to amass such wealth by wrong means had there been no legacy of similar corruption in the political system in the country, ruled by Congress largely, horizontally and vertically since partition.
Sadly, the public today is part of this corruption, because in every day walk of life we not only encourage corruption but even vote it to power time and again. And this we do because of scant respect for brother hood and total selfishness. Just because you allowed the system to prevail by bribing without defense (objection) and without rejection ( at hustings), the society at large suffers and gets entrapped in this network of corruption, because all cannot be expected to have liberal money to give to the menace and scoundrels of corruption.
The journey to Haridwar, a bare 200 kms from Delhi, is arduous not just because of corrupt politicians, my friends, we the public are more responsible for the same, because we let them. And the journey of life in India remains as arduous, because we did not do our bit and rather fell victims of corruption for all our self fish needs alone, without bothering about others and without bothering about society. All my countrymen who had there car licence, building licence, land allotment, electricity theft, policeman etc. got done by bribing the corrupt Babus ( how can they unless they need pay the higher up until the last in the chain, the politician) will agree and they must be in Haridwar too caring to wash their sins, and would be back doing the same and cursing the Govt. Babus & politicians they pampered and helped raise in the first place. Submitting and giving corruption is equal crime if not bigger. Why do not you take a pledge next time when you take a dip that you will not repeat same again? Helping the society is the Karma for the God, and there is no better Dip ‘virtue’ than this. Yamuna is only spoiled because we(sins in the capital city of political centre are dense) were around and closer, Ganges too is getting spoiled may not be as much due to pollution as may be because of our dipping the sins into it. Also it is less spoiled perhaps for it is farther than Yamuna, and lot of saints also dip into it each day besides we sinners. Corruption is the biggest sin of mankind and Delhi is the centre of INDIA as well as corruption. Corruption , mind it, travels from up to down and not vice-e-versa, and the country’s top bosses will know same.
Global warming is not because of our physical sins alone, but also because of our spiritual sins too, lest America will not be sending shipload of harmful asbestos waste to India and still preach as mentor of War against Global Warming. Until we stop these sins from our mindscape, the landscape will only deteriorate, and we all must take responsibility individually for every small sin we make. The journey of life until then my dear folks will remain arduous for each one of us.
You need help each other. You need clean the road from the stones of corruption, en-route your journey my dear friends, and the journey for you will become better too. Gandhi was born here and in this country only, and what he did was pure self less. Nehru was not, and you can see the difference. One made the journey better for all others and the other let it arduous. Be self less and not self fish and see the journey of life grow better and better. And corruption is pure selfish, taking and giving. No dip in Ganges will help clear this sin and the life Journey will never improve, until then.
See you soon…………. Wish you a happy journey of life.
“Hey! You left me with a boat atleast, you all will be under water soon.”
Enough on Indian politics I guess and Tharoor’s Cattle-class tweeter.
Sorry for this delayed post, as we had Diwali in India last week and one of my aunt expired, not because of Global warming yet. She was old and 85years, hope we all can live that long and well. I travelled to Rishikesh and returned y’day only. I promised at least one post every week if not more, so I will make up for it. I wanted to write about Diwali, but I guess Global warming is hotter subject than this, and since I write instant, I could not but help this post graduating from Diwali to Global warming, which concerns more than Diwali concerns.
Diwali, a big festival for Indians and famously called festival of lights, or should I say festival of crackers. Is this any global warming issue or would it be an energy guzzler subject, pollution and waste of money and do we have any austerity self introspection need? Austerity issue with politicians, yes we fall for easy criticism of others and when it comes to self, we all are culprits individually and GW is the sum of cumulative ills rather than just the developed or developing world subject. Who contribute most and who should restrain much is a worth less debate, in case we have to address the problem seriously? We all must rise to the occasion equally. Global warming is a life style ill and the developed nations have been highly contributing to it therefore. Countries like India, barring the one Diwali festival, had hardly the means in the earlier centuries to have afforded the home appliances, industry, etc of the magnitude the developed nations were used to long ago, that they could hardly contribute to the co2 emissions that the developed nations were producing day in and day out and for centuries together. Christmas in the western world, is the festival lights too and lasts much longer than Diwali in India. Here alone the western world scores much higher in terms of Global warming, incase Diwali is singled out as a blame feature. So all said and done, US the richest of all the world economies has the maximum brunt given to Global warming of the earth. And will it not be richest in the nuclear arsenal, be it for army or peace purposes? And, it seems cries the maximum to others to restrain the stock pile, restrict the use and to reduce co2 emissions. Wow? This is called autocratic ways or “Dadagiri”(have you heard of ‘Gandhigiri’?). This is exactly the antonym of the later in Hindi, in english it is called musclepowerabuse.
I have nothing against the US and the developed nations, but they must come forward to contribute voluntarily towards reducing the co2 emission levels in their respective citadels and proportionately. “Global warming reduction need is urgent” is the message which must spread and get across to every house hold ear and must be acted upon by every pair of hands in as much the same way as we used them to create the ill. Gandhigiri and Dadagiri will not help, dear Mr. Manmohan singh and Obama Nobel sir. Be willing to act respectively and proportionately, but urgent at the same time. Debates should and must come down, for we have no time to lose in this. It is time for action and not debates, the world leaders must realize.
Soon, more on global warming. And my next post is on travel from Rishikesh to Delhi, a daymare( an antonym for nightmare).
To compliment my posts you must read my exclusive blogs at www.vijaymalhotra.com, and if you like them, I request readers to encourage me with comments,PLEASE!
Cheers!
Welcome to Vk’s ” Blog-o-india” exclusively on India, again.
I wrote already in my last article, what my next is going to be about. Tharoor’s Tweeter on ‘cattle class’ travel. This was bound to make it big I knew. And it already is. It has occupied most of the Journalistic space in the newspapers in India. It does give me a sense of pride therefore that I do carry the sense of awareness, vision and journalistic instincts. More than these, what generally draw my inspiration is the crux and not just the matter, and the rest happens to be incidental.
It is quite noteworthy that the criticism about Tharoor’s cattle class travel remarks on austerity measures, was from within the party he belongs to, from his colleagues and counterparts, and none other. These remarks had nothing to do with Indian public who hardly noticed same, leave alone took in bad spirits and or in bad humour, until the politicians publicised it. The politicians pretend and assume in their defence of criticism veracity, that calling economy class travel as cattle class is an offence to General Public who travel economy class. The hidden conscience behind these politicians criticism was however the challenge they saw in it from their colleague, about the pretension and prank of Austerity measures declared by his party. The Indian class that travel economy, is rich and educated enough to be offended by these comparisons, and they hardly have time as well, and they are well aware that the politicians of this country are treating the country populace as cattle if not worst. How much of the public money is eaten away, swindled, and is corrupted is quite visible in every day life, so what there pretension is all about and their plea that General Public is offended by these remarks from their colleague is all humbug. Why take the very Political stance and use prank in criticism too ? Why make the whole of Indian People scapegoat for trying to score a point against a colleague who is much-much more educated and respected than most of them who have cherished the seat of power? Scape-goating people is more comparing them to cattle or not?
They challenged Tharoor, because of this envy that he is not their class. They challenged him because he challenged their pretensions in using Economy class travel in fooling Indian Public as being responsible politicians and the care takers of the country. And this brings us closer to another vital question, concerning Indian Politics, that is whether there is space for Good and learned people in Indian Politics. Tweeter Tharoor must have realized by now that he is a misfit here. There is a talk in the air for his sacking and he must take it serious if at all he is having some sense of pride in himself and self respect for talking the truth. This sacking brouhaha is likely to die down , because soon the Congress will realize that raking the issue longer will bring harm to the party, because more the subject gets air and the attention more would be the danger of expose of the Austerity Prank. But having tasted what the politics in congress and with politicians in India is all about, it is for Tharoor to decide whether he respects his self-respect and likes to continue with his political presence by compromising and hurting him day in day out. He has option to quit him self but that will depend upon his priorities and preferences and willingness to sacrifice goodness or badness.
Tharoor and the likes of him hardly belong to the class of Politicians we have. Being an odd man out is good no doubt, but being betrayed by your family is it any? This tweet was a well meant, honest and one personal. That it was criticism worthy is quite inadvertant, and exposes the class of his colleagues he works with . He needs to decide whether it is worth continuing working in such environment and job.
Broadly he deserved this criticism, because he ought know that his political colleagues would feel offended at being called cattle class as they are no cattle and nor class. So while they travel economy, how can they be called cattle? Cattle is how they treat other humans, or perhaps worse and they cannot be compared with ordinary people.
And honestly speaking we deserve this treatment by politicians. You must be wondering why do I say so? This because, in India we ourselves treat cattle better than fellow humans. We cook something to be fed to cattle day in and day out, that too to soothe our religious selfish motive and instincts, but not for the hunger striken fellow Indian or human, who may be starving to death from nature’s fury etc reasons or general poorness . And this allows our politicians to first draw the money and what happens next, it gets spent in cattle feed, dirty roads, poor sanitation, nocuous corruption in public life, ugly trasnport, policing and what not, is known to us. By being unconcerned of sufferings of our fellow beings, we allow these politicians therefore to declare pretentious measures to take care of these starved Indians. Who is responsible? Yes we deserve to be treated as cattle by them, for we do treat our fellow beings as even worse. So why take offence to some one like Tharoor calling us cattle, how can we? You politicians please, we did not feel offended as being cattled by your colleague. You have some other reason to score against him, so please use or spare him the curse for being one of you. It is not important as to what others and how others treat you, because we are what we deserved. We are cattle or worse is what we need look into and thank you Tharoor for tickling our senses and this opportunity to introspect. I hope we turn humans and not worst than cattle, for the politicians treat us like cattle is still well meant than we deserve.
