Man as Beast - India

[Indus Pakistan]

We read day after day about the miracle that is India. Names of Indian billionaires are touted here as showpiece of Indian economic might. Bollywood dazzles with pretty faces to give India a makeup. However the the truth, the real truth is that 100s of millions of hungry Indian's live in wretched conditions in the largest democracy in the world. I just read a thread here about the remarkable progress made by India in poverty reduction when the truth is that just numbers are being rehashed to paint pretty picture. Magic of Slumdog to millionaire in express time. This mass of billion plus coiled humanity writhing in ugliness, starvation and lack of any indigenous culture save what has been thrust on them by various outside invaders mostly of Muslim extraction or what they can claim by way of pelf from the cradle of human civilization in the region that is now Pakistan or Indus basin.

However my low opinion of India plummeted to depths that I was shocked by when I came across by accident a article on "human beasts of burden". Wondering what I am talking about? Well can you imagine if value of a human was so reduced that his existance was equated to that a of a donkey? Yes, I am talking about Rickshaw Pullers. These guys below:-

India Rickshaw puller.

Rickshaw pullers wait for customers on a street in Kolkata, India.

Rickshaw pullers in monsoon season, India.

Indian rickshaw pullers wade through logged water during heavy shower in eastern Indian city of Kolkatta, India.

When I came across these Indian's, humans going as "beasts" I struggled to juxtapose this reality with the daily peddling of India this, India that, India rising, India shining, India Mars, etc etc that we get from Indian's here on PDF and everywhere else. Now we all can find aspects in most countries that might be repulsive and sickening. However these "human beasts" of India are not some anomaly or aberration. No sir, these "human beasts of India" are a phenomenon and as common as holy cows in mighty India. This is inhumanity on industrial scale.

Quote

"An estimated 2 million cycle rickshaws ply the roads in India. The exact number may be far greater as there are no reliable records available, but the cycle rickshaw industry provides instant employment to unskilled migrants in urban and semi-urban areas"

"As of now, an estimated 600,000 cycle rickshaws ply the roads of Delhi and provide direct employment opportunities to more than a million migrant workers"

Pedaling for Bread: Rickshaw Pullers of Delhi Struggle for a Living - Ritimo

As can be seen this is a phenomenon in India. Two million cycle rickshaws with six hundred thousand in New Delhi alone. That is not some isolated examples. Bangladesh also is afflicted by this curse however I focus on India because I rarely get Bengali's bragging about their superpower status and wealth all the while looking on Pakistan as the basketcase.

Which reminds me Pakistan,the country Indians love calling failed, banned cycle rickshaws in 1949, yes 1949. That is 66 years ago Pakistan decided that these were below human dignity and within 2 years of independance in 1947 Pakistan made these illegal. That is I guess one aspect why Pakistan is failed because we did away with "human beasts" in 1949.

To my eyes there is something disgusting in having a human being used as a donkey. I know Indian's are going to give examples of this in Europe but those are tourist stunts. In India these "human beasts" are not novelties but serve as regular transport. I conclude that in India society has inequity in it's very dna and furthermore there is no concept of dignity of man. Also it tells me that for millions of Indians poverty is such a threat that they resort to performing functions that our forefathers relegated to animals.

In short what Pakistan did away with back in 1949 is still going strong in mighty India in 2015.

India to replace 'inhumane' rickshaws with e-ricks - Telegraph

When you take this ugly reality of India in then it becomes easier to understand about the hidous poverty ( with starved numbering almost to the entire population of Pakistan ) and how many Indian's are allowed to still starve to death. I think the world should put pressure on India to stop this inhuman practice as that does not even fit in 20th century let alone 21st century.

Caveat: I have been "threatened" by Indian's for exposing this inhuman practice. The threat was to let PDF know that I I am 52 years old, divorced man. I refuse to being blackmailed thus I am outing some aspects of my personal life since I don't find anything to be ashamed of.

*I would ask the mods to redact this thread if any contents are not acceptable rather than deleting the thread.The contents of this thread are facts. Yes they may not paint a very apealing picture of India but this is the reality behind the big talk given by Indians. I cannot understand why PDF would want to act like a censor for India's public relations office.

I don't feel threatened by anybody least of all Indian's. I added that caveat because some of your countrymen have brought up my personal life and said they would "expose" me so I saved them the bother by doing it myself. All this was done because this thread on rickshaw pullers in India annoyed them.

They are hardworking rickshaw-pullers, contributing to India in a positive way and not some terrorists from a failed country contributing to the failed economy terms of suicide blasts

Do you know what failed looks like? This below is what fail looks like, when a country like India forces the poor to do this to make a living. Have some shame for humanity. This is what "Mars India" looks like on the ground Earth.

lol, A Pakistani talking about humanity my eyes

Only a Pakistani can talk about humanity we can't expect this from our neighbour who killed people for eating beef.

 

[coffee_cup]

India is a third world poverty plagued country, where 100s of millions (more than the whole central Africa) struggle to get even two times meal a day.

Just ignore all those shiny numbers which few billionaire have gathered and which these Indian chest thumpers on PDF keep throwing at us to fool themselves.

India is by no means a country where someone would want to spend his/her life in. This is the reason (despite all those tall claims) that given an opportunity, majority of Indians will leave it for a Western country on the blink of an eye.

This is reality!

don't force me to post links displaying Pakistani humanity. You even sheltered Osama bin Laden in a bungalow, who master planned the biggest terrorist attack. You are nothing but terrorist supporters and no terrorist supporter can talk about humanity.

Humanity? you even protested against USA for killing Osama

Humanity my @ss?

Only terrorism. Pakistan can offer.

I remember a decade or so back, when India was really struggling and PTV was available in India, the constant feature on PTV was Oh India is so pooooooooooooor! I guess Pakistanis still love to hear that.

Beats being labelled as a jihadi terrorist any time of the day,any day of the year.

 

[datalibdaz]

Nice post.... India poverty level is more than 60%...And it is that level which is far worst than the definition of poverty in Pakistan....

Yes it is true India is no 1 with the most poor people if we talking about percentage. They are riding on bubbles having large population larger area their income is more but what is the real growth millions of people don't have clean drinking water, food and even toilets these are the basic things first provide your people with basic facilities then brag about trillion doolar economy,

Indian humanity on full display, all covered under the joke called secularism.

I feel sorry for those hard working poor souls, because their life has become a scoring point in a forum....

We can afford to do this because we do not know what and how hard poverty is

All I see are hard working individuals doing their best to earn a living. There is no shame in hard work, no matter what the circumstances, country or religion.
