I am an Indian & today is our 64th Independence day & I don't know how to feel proud as rich people are getting richer & poor are poorer day by day.I think the whole world is facing the same problem,I request everyone to take small steps to make difference.
I am a 21st century girl have a good job and life. But when I see there are people who can't sleep in night because they are hungary, it really makes a hole in my heart. I live in capital-Delhi there are cars,malls,metro...everything Thanks to great globalisation I can enjoy wearing a global brand But tell me how can I feel good when 70% of my countrymates are living in villages And they don't even know the G of Globalisation. Majority of them don't have proper homes to live how can they think of clothes. I don't know how to feel proud I don't know how to celebrate this day Biggest irony is 40% of Indians don't know this fact. Teens are busy in watching MTV & shopping their parents are more busy in earning for them. Everyone who has money love to enjoy luxury But what about the rest of 70% who struggle throughout their life just to have two meals in a day????? Government is busy in hosting Commonwealth games spending thousands of crores for guests when our very own farmers are doing suicides because they can's afford two meals in a day. I know this writing is not going to change anything but this is a request to eveyone around each corner of the world it's good to have money but spend wisely and help those who are needy. LET"S TAKE SMALL STEPS Start spreading awareness and educating illiterate people start sharing your food with someone who is hungary It's our world & we should make it equally well and shiny FOR EVERYONE..... I wish to see the India where everyone will be educated and have two meals everyday I wish to see the world where everyone is happy and smiling.... EACH STEP MAKES A DIFFERENCE...

India also has a space programme and so it should. But governments who benefit the workers is a happy country and one in which the west could support with commerce.

Every country has similiar problems and solutions aren't easy. Perhaps your generation can do better than ours. I hope so. Perhaps your light can lead the way. Luke

I wish I knew the answer Yaduvanshi. Inequality and inequity in the world is universal, but in some countries like your own it is worse than others. You are wrong when you say "I know this writing is not going to change anything" because writing about this is the first of the "small steps" that you talk about. Reminding people that suffering still happens in our affluent societies at least provokes a response, like me writing to you!

Peace to you Yaduvanshi,
David

In America we pursue happiness it is not given to us. The poor will always be with us as history can attest. Yes by all means help the poor earn a lively hood and be generous with what we are blessed with and worked for.
