Clean India Campaign--An Easy Biblical Solution !

 

                                                                 (Image credit-Google)

Those of you who have read the Holy Bible would know that it contains solutions not only for spiritual problems, but also for all practical problems of daily living. In the Old Testaments, Moses frees around 20 lac Israelites ,from the bonds of 400 years of slavery in Egypt and led them to Canaan, the land promised by God to them .Canaan is part of the present day Israel . The great historic  journey of 20 lac Israelites from Egypt to Canaan took  40 long years though the undulating deserts of the Middle East.This journey is covered in detail in the book of Exodus in the Holy Bible.

The Logistics Of The Movement Of 20 Lac People !

         Imagine 20 lac people moving across day and night through the scorching deserts.There were 6 lac men and around 12 lac women and children ,their cattle, household effects etc. The sheer logistics of  food,shelter and other needs of such a moving mass, is mind -boggling. Bible says, Prophet Moses received God’s instructions periodically on every small matter relating to the expedition. And that included excretion as well!

God’s Instructions On ‘Relieving’

            The average gross excreta for 20 lac people would  have been  a staggering 20,00,000 x 0. 5 kg = 1000 Metric Tons per day! Where would you dispose off all the nasty stuff? The entire area would be stinking!But Chapter Deut. 23.12 to 14 of the Holy Bible contains God’s wise instructions in the matter.God says” Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. 13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. 14 For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you”

                        God is not suggesting  toilets! But a clean ,easy and practical way towards a clean camping area!Even now we know dogs and cats practice this method while excreting.This ,sure is the easiest and most practical way for the rural India,till all households can afford toilets. Urban areas may not fit into this plan  as spotting land might be difficult.

The Unconstitutional Methods of Hindi Imposition.

                                                              It’s interesting to note that in India,there are things which thrive without any sort of law required to enforce it and things which cannot survive even if you have a stiff constitutional law enacted for ensuring it! Some examples may help one to understand it clearly. While approving residential layouts,reserving ‘recreation space’ is compulsory.So while obtaining approval,some space is shown for recreation and approval obtained.Later,that space is never used as a park but ends up as a vacant bushy space for stray dogs to play around.Thus the law promoting recreation space in residential areas never works in India! But,take the case of providing a temple in a layout.There is no mandatory requirement for provision of a temple for layout approval but a temple comes up automatically,as people are interested in it. So it’s the ‘interest’ factor that drives one to act more than the threat of punishment under law. Promotion of Hi

Approach Supreme Court for striking down Hindi imposition policy of the centre.

Hindi imposition amounts to discrimination based on language which is in violation of Art. 14 of the constitution.  Why not the  p olitical parties like DMK or NTK    approach the  Supreme Court for striking down the policy? Article 15 of Constitution says 15. Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth (1)  The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them DID YOU NOTICE THAT ‘LANGUAGE’ IS OMITTED? Why? LHR -Linguistic Human Rights  is a major area of global judicial activism .Linguistic human rights (LHRs) are analysed as one type of human right, reflecting an inalienable norm Rights are needed for speakers of dominated languages, who individually and collectively experience linguistic ‘wrongs’, marginalization, and ultimately the extinction of the languages. Wikipedia says ”Individual linguistic rights are provided for in the  Universal Declarati
