This is the time for our country to set up its priorities, to choose between HIV and starvation between Global warming or education and poverty, as nothing can be achieved till the population of any country is empty stomached and illiterate.
OUT OF the 1200 people tested for HIV and AIDS, only one comes out as a positive case, according to SPYM an NGO working in the field of HIV and AIDS Awareness. This test was carried on homosexuals and female sex workers.
This statistical data is an eye opening for the people making a hue and cry about this issue in India. Genuinely speaking, issues like HIV, should not be of much concern in a country like India.
The treatment of AIDS as a highly dangerous disease, is a hype created by the west, as these issues have got their origin from the west. In the same way, issues like pollution, global warming etc are also the creations of the west, who have been industrialised for the last two centuries.
A developing country like India has other issues to think about. We still have not been able to combat fully with problems like poverty, starvation, unemployment, huge population, lack of education etc. These issues gain more prominence when the developed world blames countries like India and China for the global food crisis, when these countries find it difficult to feed their own populations.
What the west does not realise is that the food crisis is also caused by the production of cattle food on the agricultural land. The area in which cattle food is produced, for getting one kilogram of meat, can produce three kilograms of grains which can be used for human beings.
India a country which is still struggling for the basic needs of the people. So, talking about issues like global warming, AIDS etc seems to be a foolish nonsense. According to the Planning Commission of India, 25 per cent people of our country still live below the poverty line.
This is the time for our country to set up its priorities, to choose between HIV and starvation between Global warming or education and poverty, as nothing can be achieved till the population of any country is empty stomached and illiterate.
