Inviting Jungle Raj

Inviting Jungle Raj
“SAHERON MEIN CHALEGA JUNGLE RAJ” There will be jungle Raj within the city.
These are not the news headlines of INDIA TV; But the hardcore reality.
Have a look at any means of mass communication like newspapers or T.V, we come across N number of problems faced by “AAM ADMI” general mass.
Murders for water, food, and few bucks have become common phenomena.
This may be the harbinger of Jungle Raaj.
Why basic necessity is becoming a problem for AAM ADMI.
Does it mean that our great Politicians, farmers, scientist and business community went into deep slumber after independence?
Haven’t we done anything to ensure the availability of basic needs?
Let’s have a look at the performance of few important sectors.
Agriculture
At the time of independence country’s head count was just 350 million, yet we were importing food grains to feed our population. Then our farmers and agricultural scientist made a big leap in mid 60’s which is known as green revolution. From then till date, we become a surplus producer of food grains and our total food grain production in 2008-09 is 234.5 million MT, which is sufficient to feed the existing population of 1.18 billion.
Education
The number of schools has grown from few thousands in 1947 to 16 lakhs as of now. The same is the case with number of colleges. The quality of education has gone up and the literacy level has improved significantly from 5% to 65%.
Health
Just after independence healthcare sector was in shambles with large number of deaths and spread of infectious diseases. Life expectancy was around 35 years but a significant improvement has been made in this sector and the life expectancy has reached to 63.
In addition to the above three sectors road and rail network has spread to every state and district of the country.

Despite such an impressive growth and development, basic resources are becoming scarce and harbinger of Jungle Raj can be felt. The Population growth has taken a toll on all the developments that has taken place.

Then a question which pops up in mind is who can control this monstrous population, was population control, never a part of policy in India, If not then why?
No serious policy initiative has been taken by Indian governments, because just after independence population was not a problem and now Indian Politics has started revolving around the same old principle of divide and rule.

Let me try to explain my view point.

It is the illiterate poor (a form of AAM ADMI) who produce more kids, their source of entertainment is limited and they are unaware of the methods to control unwanted pregnancy. These illiterate people are gullible and easy to rule. They are being divided on trifle issues like caste, colour and creed. These AAM ADMI are being treated as vote banks and control on their head count means decrease in vote bank size.
These AAM ADMI are being fooled through different tantrums like
• Right to work (MNREGA)
• Right to Education
• And Now the Right to Food
These rights will not be needed if a single serious policy initiative to control the population is being made, because the existing resources are sufficient to ensure ample work, quality education and quality food.

In initial stage, these poor people “AAM ADMI” were not assisted in preventing unwanted reproduction but now they are being promised with controlled ration, which is just sufficient to sustain and reproduce but does not ensure progress.
The existing politics is all about creating problem at first stage and then pretend to solve it at a later stage.
But unfortunately in the process the head count has reached to such an extent that we have started behaving like animals and the Jungle Raj will be openly visible on streets, if population is not controlled.
