An excerpt from the order of The Supreme Court Of India (27.1.2010): On
20.01.2010, an assurance was given to this Court on behalf of the learned
Additional Solicitor General that immediate steps would be taken to provide
night shelters to the homeless people by the Government in coordination with
all the agencies, including the Non-Government Organizations. He also assured
that not only the existing facilities would be improved but additional
facilities would be created such as blankets, water and mobile toilets.
yes, poor are no priority for the planners and policy makers. let them rot on the roadside without shelter, let them go on their search for livelihood and roam as gipsies for generations! these bloody governments - state and federal - have their own priorities for the rich and powerful so that they can get richer and more powerful. who cares for the wretched of this earth? these rascals are squandering citizens' hard earned money on melas and mahotsavs and mahasammelans ! and the poor are happy with their hope in god and goddesses making 'pagpaala yatras' to dakor and ambaji!

Dear Umeshbhai
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing new in homeless kitchen. One can find it even in rural areas. Your photographs do not reveal anything new nor do they have any art value. It is simply a reminder of dire poverty of certain sections of our society. You gave opportunity to enjoy the poverty of others while sitting before computer!
