The great plunder

Our national resources are being systematically plundered for years and decades. With government connivance, of course. Legal and illegal private mining of coal, bauxite, iron ore, etc. has unsettled the tribal habitats and lay the areas waste. Forests have dwindled in the hands of the mafia, while the poor tribal has been for ages refrained from damaging the forest by bringing too many firewood! Poor collectors of Kendu leaves have been exploited for ages.

The privileged classes of India - the few honest people and those thieves - are responsible. By omission or by commission.

  1. The privileged classes of India - the few honest people ....... How are they responsible ? Directly or indirectly ? The idea may please be cleared .

  2. Those thieves are responsible by commission, that is, for doing harm to society. The few honest people are also responsible, but only by omission, that is, for not doing enough to solve the problem. Here the reference is not to the persons who are really trying their best. Though such persons are tiny in numerical proportion, in them indeed lies the hope for the future.
