In the Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh district- run schemes to build toilets are enabling many individuals to lead a dignified lifestyle. More than 2.65 lakh toilets are planned to be built in according to the scheme.

The Supreme Court has banned firecrackers in Delhi-NCR preceding the upcoming festival of Diwali while 16 more children have died in Gorakhpur; while these events may at first appear distinct and unrelated we must understand that they are both sides of the same coin. We must acknowledge that they point to an institutional void and subsequently to a future that is bleak and unpromising for the nation as a collective. How far can half-hearted mechanisms really work?

Yet again over 40 children have died in Gorakhpur, revealing once again the stark negligence and shameless attitude of the authorities who not only take the lives of ordinary human beings for granted but also display indifference and lack of true concern. Amidst these situations what does the culture of democracy signify when its citizens are its very victims?

See the way we are losing sanity. It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the experience of buying a car with special Diwali discount and the act of undergoing a medical screening – from the diabetes check to MRI. See the language now for this sort of medical tests there is also an special offer. Does it mean that it is great to fall sick during monsoon or autumn? Because diagnostic clinic are giving special discount? If we allow the market to invade every sphere of life including health and medicine, we would find ourselves in an insane world.
