Swachh Bharat Is A Failure and a Dream Only, We Have Destroyed Nature

Lets start with the WHO ranking,

4 years into Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, we retain the top 14 positions. Congratulation fellow Indians, humne kar dikhaaya!

It was not the Indian list of polluted cities, it was a list issues by World Health Organisation of top 15 polluted cities in the world. Ok, you got it now we (Indians) breathe in the most polluted air. Also our standards of life (depending upon the atmosphere) have also fallen very low. This pollution means we drink polluted water, we eat polluted stuff. As everything has direct relationship with air.
Do we live in an Era where our prime minister had launched a scheme of Clean India ( Swacha Bharat).? Think again when was this project launched, how far have we travelled since then. And the biggest question to ask self is that only throwing your waste in dustbin makes a place clean or Swacha? We need to go to Himalayan to breathe fresh air once in a while, we need to bath in a particular river to clean our skins? Are we only most polluted or we also most sick country. We have the most number of patients suffering from possibly largest number of diseases.
This is how far have we travelled being the oldest civilization, the most educated country has chosen the path of pollution enlightenment? Or are we forced on a wrong path.

Ever felt like when you wake up your nose cant breathe properly? This situation is when early morning air is most fresh one. 

We travel to foreign countries and can't stop praising the clean air and the green surroundings. Yet, in India, we look for the next dirty spot to unzip our pants and pee. 

Why? Because it's already dirty. How does my dirt matter? 

'India ka kucch nahi ho sakta', is an easy criticism to make and is as done and dusted as the pollution levels of the country. 

We call ganga pollution free, its water can never harm living read it and say that again 

In fact, the situation for Indian rivers became so bad that the Ganges river has now been declared a hazardous water body, as reported by The Reuters .

March 2014: Bollywood yesteryear's actress and a BJP candidate, Hema Malini was spotted pouring milk into the Yamuna during one of her political campaigns at Mathura.

It was her way of taking an oath to ' making river Yamuna clean and remove pollution'.

Her words were:

"Protection of our cultural heritage in the form of Ganga and Yamuna is vital . I would do my best to ensure a clean Yamuna".

In Kanpur, sadhus decided to clean the Ganga river by pouring around 1100 litres of milk into the river.

In Varanasi, approximately 4,800 million liters of sewage flows into the river Ganga from the town, as was reported by Reuters India.

"The WHO findings echo those of the recent Yale Environmental Performance Index, which ranked India 174th out of 178 countries on air pollution. Yet most Indian politicians never acknowledge any kind of pollution problem, much less address the inability of authorities to enforce environmental policies that may hinder industrialization."

Our politics may go around to religions, caste, security forces, rape of women, murder of big named people but politicians will never talk about pollution, low quality air in capital, poor condition of rivers, prime minister will talk about Swacha Bharat, Delhi CM will talk about other nets but they never take steps to ensure that pollution levels gets down, we breathe better quality air, we drink cleaner water, we eat healthy. They just want to divide and rule. We after 70 years could get worse only.

Despite the fact that manual scavenging was outlawed back in 1993, India remains the only country in the world that still employs manual scavengers.

And no, they aren't trained the way sewage workers are in places, like Hong Kong. In India, manual scavengers can be as young as 12 years old.

According to data collected by Forbes, India employs over 2.5 lakh people in manual scavenging, with the Indian Railways being the biggest employer.

And even after that, we're still one of the most polluted countries in the world.

India has become too used to living amidst the scum.

Look around your neighbourhood - notice the amount of 'kura-kacchra ' you see lying around the streets.

This merely makes for good dinner-table conversation. It doesn't go beyond that.

As long as our houses are clean, we aren't concerned about the leftovers and discards that we throw out of our houses and onto the streets.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, they say.

In a country that is so obsessed with religion, it's rather sad that we haven't managed to get that close to God after all.

 We worship nature, we are the only country that worship tree, sun, moon, weather, rain, water, air, earth. Yet we are the one's with worst conditions of all above. We can kill a person for abusing, touching a woman or man, for theft but we can not punish a person for killing nature.

Are we gifting a poisoning culture to our future kids, are we going to die of nature pollution and poor quality water, air or food.

We love to call nature beloved, post pictures near nature or places of greenery so that we can damage them with love, put a knife in its back.
