Northeast india

I don’t know how many of you have ever visited the Northeast of India (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura & Sikkim). But I’m sure you must have heard or studied that northeast is also the part of our country. Although these states are the part of our nation but we don’t know much about them. It’s just because we don’t pay any kind of attention to the Northeast and the second most important factor is northeast is not well connected with the rest of India (Minimal rail network and dusty Roadways). Even being highly blessed with natural beauty, these states receive a low number of tourist and attention from the people living in any anywhere else in India and abroad, because it’s really a challenge to visit the places here.

 As we all know that in current time elections in U.P., Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur are going on. The Indian media is busy in doing coverage upon the U.P. and Punjab Elections only. Few of you might be aware of the fact that apart from this election the two northeast states (Manipur and Nagaland) were facing Curfew since months. But no one cares about the life of people in these states. For all the media channels the drama in “Yadav family” was more important than the life of the Naga and Manipuri people. According to the 2015 data northeast got only 1% of the total media coverage.
If we talk about the Literacy rate of Northeast then except Arunachal Pradesh all other have the literacy rate higher than the National literacy rate. But when we talk about the GDP of these states then while combining all the 7 states they give only 2.64% of the National share. They are among the least performing states of the country. Nobody is investing their money there, nobody is going there for visit, people are not getting jobs, health and education facilities are in the pathetic condition; it’s not their failure at all. It’s the policy failure of all the governments because all of them didn’t pay much attention to the northeast. In the year 1991 Narasimha Rao government made “Look East Policy” under which a module to develop northeast was made, but I think now this policy is dying in “Government Files” only. You will be surprised that Government is planning to build the Bullet train corridor Between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, but Shillong, Aizawl, Kohima, Imphal the capital cities of Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Manipur respectively don’t have a railway station. The poor people who are already facing a lot of problems they can’t afford the Airways. I don’t know what the Government is doing for the people of these states, but they are totally in the state of isolation from the country. The Road are also not well developed here, only the major cities are connected to the Highways, and in the case of road blockade and Bandh the region get totally isolated from the rest of country and it makes the life of the people living here terrible. In the time of economic blockade, petrol price was pushed over ₹300 per liter. People are not even getting water, facing hunger, starvation, unemployment and apart from all these we are adding one more thing to the list and that is “Ignorance”.

For the Study, Living, Health and Other problems and needs the people from these states comes into the major cities of the country but most of them face Racism, discrimination and crime they are called as “Chinki, Chinese, Nepali”, it’s not at all easy for them to find a living in these cities either it’s Delhi, Mumbai or any other part of India. It’s really horrifying situation when a large section of a country gets a second class treatment from all other citizens, how we can let this happen. In a country that ‘prides’ itself on its diversity it’s a shame how we discriminate against our fellow countrymen. It proves that there is something terribly wrong in our society. We know all the problems whatever they are facing, but instead of debating about the problems of Northeast, people are indulging upon JNU, Kejriwal’s allegation on PM, Rahul Gandhi's funny speeches, and blah, blah, blah…. But nobody is debating about problems in Northeast. We need to take a strong stand for the Northeast so that their life should change.  Otherwise, the scenario is going to be worse and it will definitely affect the integrity and sovereignty of the Nation. We can’t keep everyone silent forever by the means of “Arms”.

Fidel Castro

Although I don't want to write on political issues , but today I saw that many people here disgracing Cuban  revolutionary leader and Former Cuban PM & President Fidel Castro. First of all I Pray his soul to be rest in Peace as he died today. Guys who are calling him Dictator or monster they must remember that he was a Marxism-Leninist which believes in socialist sate, based upon the ideology of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin and of course Marx and Lenin are said to be the greatest socialists of all time. Who believes in process of democratic centralism, Lenin described it as "diversity in discussion, unity in action." So , as following this ideology Castro worked for his country and his people. And I don't see working for country and people is dictatorship. Before Castro Cuba had an  elected President Fulgencio Batista, who later became dictator. So Fidel Castro overthrew his government with Che Guevara and his brother Raul Castro. So if you think that Cuban revolution was wrong then please clear your views upon French revolution , War against Germany in World war 2 and many more. If you think the movement of Fidel Castro through arms was wrong and it was against government and so called humanity then please stop praising Bhagat Singh , Chandrasekhar Azad , Subhash Chandra Bose and all other the leaders who took arms for their Motherland. I know it might be hurting you, but this shows the double standard. The world hates him because he took his stand against America and in this world if you are against America then you are against the humanity. The world media and whole press will chase you like a cat chasing a mice.

 Cuban disaster management system is even better than America's. Cuba has world class public sector schooling and health. Because The Cuban government subsidies food, housing and utilities. Education, including university level, is free. Cuba has a 99.8 % literacy rate. Medical care is free in Cuba.

Before the revolution nobody even knew the name of Cuba but now everyone knows About Cuba and it's leader. So if raising the standard of your country is wrong then please disgrace Fidel Castro. Even the Great Indian philosopher Chanakya have said "A Person should not be too honest, Straight Trees are cut first". So please learn to respect to such a great leader, who served his motherland for such a long time and brought development in his country.
