INDIAN FOOT SOLDIERS

* Who built Taj Mahal? Shah Jahan

* Who built Mumbai? Parsees

* Who achieved green revolution? Dr Swaminathan

* Who built Golden Quadrilateral? Vajpayee

But what about the thousands of poor wretched workers (many perished in work)who really performed the act of the construction or the cultivation? Who knows them? 

A majority of them were migrants, living in inhuman conditions, so that they could earn the 2 rupaye (metaphorical) that would keep many souls at home located in the interior unreachable villages of india, from dying of poverty!

No one is bothered about them. How could that be? The Congress & the BJP are fundamentally feudal parties, run by the kings and later by Zamindars (and the Savarna Parivar). Will they ever worry about the wretched souls? 

What about the Socialists and the Communists? These parties grew autocratic leaders/rulers within, who took care of themselves, leaving the cadre behind, into abject poverty. 

What independence and achievements are we talking about? We could call us BHARAT one only when it is ensured that every human being in the country has no hunger, has her dignity intact and her & family’s life is secured.

How long will it take?
