Is this not something to think about?

Just now saw a news item on a news channel wherein on the occassion of INDEPENDANCE DAY there was a cermony hosted at one of the places in Andhra Pradesh to remember the freedon fighters and to feliciate some freedom fighters who are still alive.
I was so disturbed when one of the freedom fighters was pleading one of the ministers who visited the place for timely issue of their pensions and to increase the pension amount.Do you people know what is the pension amount given to a freedom fighter..........its 1000 rs.................dont think thats for a month,thats the amount given to them for the whole year,and my calculator shows it comes something like 83.33 rs per month!!
I still recollect some days when i went to a hotel for a meal with friends and spent more than 1000 bucks in an hour time,and with those 1000 bucks the people who fought for the freedom of mother INDIA ,who has given their youth ,their money,their efforts have to survive the whole year.
After seeing the news item i realised how true the dialogue in Rajnikanths movie "SHIVAJI" "Rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer" is.In these 60 years of independance INDIA has advanced a lot in terms of its position in world economy,in technology,in sports and what not........but the people who are responsible for all this are in a pity state and our government has no time to think about them.
By thinking of reaching the skies climing the tall tree we are neglecting the roots which are very essential and are responsible for the tree.I made up my mind to contribute in some way or the other to the upliftment of these people in need.Hope after reading this someone else also may take such a decision!!
