Comment on news item.

When my eyes caught the news that top religious leaders of the world are coming together to end slavery in India in toi the first thing in the morning i immediately bristled with antagonism unable to brook thought of foreigners coming together once again to interfere in the internal affairs of our country .

Wondered why the Australian billionaire who is funding the project is not spending the dollars on raising the miserably low levels of standard of living of their own aborigines  --'the stolen children' ,who were so shabbily treated by his ancestors and are nowlangishing in poverty and discrimination?
.
With regard to the pope and imam joining hands to save Indians from bonded labour, poverty , servility f women in marriage ,the same q arises in my mind , why don't they set their respective homes in order first?
Are western homes free of domestic violence?Aren't people nearby Italy and several countries in en Europe languishing in poverty?
Aren't women's conditions worse off in Islamic countries?Specially in our neighbourhood?

They are all respected religious leaders world over and my voice of protest may not be liked by the devouts.Yet i am doing so even if i am in no way going to be affected as of now by the altruism and noble intentions of these powerful leaders.
But i have this over active imagination and i can see the following taking place in future.

1.Nobody will protest in India now as its major population --Hindus are very accommodating and flexible and the secular govt  andl leadership couldn't care less.or even if it did  it wouldn't be politically correct in election times..So this movt will not be braked.

2. The extreme right will never take kindly to this benevolence of Fathers and imams and there will be frictions and retaliations if provocation is extreme..

3.When prices are rising and rising and has impoverished most of us the only hope for all us Indians is that the next govt will be a stable one which would bring down the prices .This can be done only if there is peace in the country and the govt is  not constantly distracted by internal disturbances and such disturbances may also lead to imposition of crippling sanctions from intl community on grounds of human rights.

 .We, which means and includes our govt , activists, philanthropists and social workers will take care of  the anamolies in our society and endeavour to set it right ,hence revered pope's and equally revered imam ,kindly leave us alone.
