RE:Great suggestion..
by Ram Ariya on Sep 07, 2005 05:29 AM

Piyushi,
I have a few questions for you:
1. Why should begging be banned in Delhi? How do you propose to ban it? Banish the beggars elsewhere? They have as much rights as you to remain on the streets of Delhi. Do you have any suggestions for feeding them?
2. Where are the so called schools to send begging children to? How many government schools do you think are in Delhi? Further, what should these children do after school? Maybe you would like to decide everything for these children.
3. What kind of forced family planning measures do you have in mind for villagers and urban poor? Obviously these people are not citizens equal to you in your mind. You seem to like to decide things for them. Maybe they WANT to have more children. After all, their resources - their labor, their tax money, their water and their food grains ARE used by you. Maybe they should ask for less money spent on your roads, your airports, your subways and your power needs.
It is precisely this mentality - that poor people and rural villagers are somehow lesser beings than you and your ilk that has led to misplaced priorities in government spending. It is time you guys started paying your dues.
