If you have followed my blog published in june 2011 , i had highlighted the issue of sanitation or the lack of it in Trichy. I had posted a photo of central Bus Stand in Trichy where animals and men are scrounging for something from the area where things and eatables are dumped.
There is an article from the Times of India today on the issue of the title of this blog.
Fifty percent of us living in India without access to public toilet.
Worrying?
Now go back to the circle of life as depicted in The Lion King a Children's movie. Are we really in the circle of life in India with us thinking that we are the Kings of the civilised life, but in reality the bugs have always been the king of the Real World.
Remember the Bugs and insects have been living in the world long before the human being and hence will outlive us. But that does not mean that we have to facilitate our demise by providing a poor sanitation where we live.
If you really want to fight for it, please campaign for public toilets which are free for the public to use who do not have access to one in rural areas to prevent contamination of sewage with our daily consumption meaning food.
This way we can certainly stop some communicable diseases, but that does not mean that we are going to outlive the bugs!
Warm Regards
