भारत में करोड़पतियों की तादाद और बढ़ी

Hiren, thought-provoking article. And thanx for the URL. :)

Ardhendu, I agree with you. The media - like the politicians - is also after money. I'm not talking about individual reporters; I'm talking about the media houses themselves. 

And who is responsible for this? We ourselves. We crave entertainment (TV series, films, lifestyles of the rich & famous, glamorous parties, etc). A lot of people have become corrupted by the style and extravagance of the rich & powerful elite. 

It seems that "normal people" love HIERARCHY & MONARCHY. They want to do the same things to other people after they become powerful. 

So it seems that having been subject to the same system (in various forms), our society has been sort of "conditioned" or "trained" like one of Pavlov's dogs to fall in line with "SYSTEM". 

There are quite a few people who want to break out - but those people are ridiculed, thwarted, harmed, or killed.

Respected Mr.   S. Muralidharan .
Firstly  I appreciate the effort you made to let me know about the recent statistical data but apparently I was aware of the whole fact that's why I have questioned. Secondly I apologize if you feel a bit offended but it is a fact that this figure is available for the file creating process not for media and the media in these days are so much sold out that it will cover those incidents where they can get revenue and not for the enlightenment of common mass. Millionaires and billionaires just purchase the time frame or slot for their publicity and advertisement purpose.
"Sahab ye sahi nahi hai Ye system badalna chahiye  " 

In short, the problem of Economic Inequality has become worst from worse.

Ardhendu asked about the report of poverty deaths:  According to statistics, following are the facts about India:

Hunger Facts

1.Hunger remains the No.1 cause of death in the world. Aids, Cancer etc. follow.

2.There are 820 million chronically hungry people in the world.

3.1/3rd of the worldÂ’s hungry live in India.

4.836 million Indians survive on less than Rs. 20 (less than half-a-dollar) a day.

5.Over 20 crore Indians will sleep hungry tonight.

6.10 million people die every year of chronic hunger and hunger-related diseases. Only eight percent are the victims of hunger caused by high-profile earthquakes, floods, droughts and wars.

7.India has 212 million undernourished people – only marginally below the 215 million estimated for 1990–92.

8.99% of the 1000 Adivasi households from 40 villages in the two states, who comprised the total sample, experienced chronic hunger (unable to get two square meals, or at least one square meal and one poor/partial meal, on even one day in the week prior to the survey). Almost as many (24.1 per cent) had lived in conditions of semi-starvation during the previous month.

9.Over 7000 Indians die of hunger every day.

10.Over 25 lakh Indians die of hunger every year.

11.Despite substantial improvement in health since independence and a growth rate of 8 percent in recent years, under-nutrition remains a silent emergency in India, with almost 50 percent of Indian children underweight and more than 70 percent of the women and children with serious nutritional deficiencies as anemia.

12.The 1998–99 Indian survey shows 57 percent of the children aged 0–3 years to be either severely or moderately stunted and/or underweight.

13.During 2006–2007, malnutrition contributed to seven million Indian children dying, nearly two million before the age of one.

14.30% of newborn are of low birth weight, 56% of married women are anaemic and 79% of children age 6-35 months are anaemic.

15.The number of hungry people in India is always more than the number of people below official poverty line (while around 37% of rural households were below the poverty line in 1993-94, 80% of households suffered under nutrition).

Ok aur koi ye toh nahi kehta ki kitne gareeb aur mar rahe hain din pe din unke maut me izafa ho raha hai ye kab dekhenge log? Kab tak amiro ki ji huzuri karoge tum sab media wale? Kab tumhe ye ehsas hoga ki gareebon ke pet ko kat katkar ye amir aaj is mukam per hai?
Mere Bharat ko bachao. Bharatwasion ko bachao. Amiro pe se dhyaan hatao .
