In 2014, when Annikki and I last visited India, Delhi was reported as the most polluted city in the world. In one chapter of our book “The Titanic Called India”, we covered the report published in the international media.
These are the indicies of various human issues comparing India with Finland in 2022/2014 prepared by reputed institutes and organisations. (See our blog entry about Finland and indicies.)
The cover of our Titanic book was also a reflection of the grave situation facing India. We tried, in an apolitical way, to highlight the enormous problems facing Indians and also how these were all being ignored.
The table below shows the change in some indicies between the period 2014 and 2022. (The Modi period of Indian history.)
Does anyone care?
Annikki and I have no intention to visit India again as it would result in sure death by either one cause or another.
Even crossing a road in Bngalore is testing fate,
Our children and grandchildren are all over the world and none are likely to stay in India to risk their lives. They may visit the country to visit relatives and friends, but each visit will be short.
We pray daily for all those trapped in this cycle of self destruction!
No one has any intention of doing anything about this. Their personal politics are more important than the country.
Sardar Patel Statue (The Statue of Unity - Rs. 3000 crores)
What appears is important is spending huge amounts of taxpayers money on building statues, temples, stadiums, changing names of parks and cities, foreign trips and hosting conferences.
The next priority is changing the name of the country which will cost well over Rs. 12000 crores.
These are all more important than the well being of the Indian people.
And what is said about the tragedies that are plaguing India, taking with it the lives of innocent Indians.
