Doesn't She Deserve A Better Life? Or Is A Mobile The Better Choice?!

Disturbing and ironical to hear, however, India has more number of cellphone users than the number of population which has access to basic sanitation facilities.

A recent study by the UN posted that India has 545 million working cellphones; however, only 31 percent of the Indian population had access to toilets or sanitation facilities. Creating a toilet cost around $300 dollars according to the estimates by the same report.

India has been growing its share of the mobile telecomm market rather exponentially every year. However, whilst the government seems pretty busy beautifying the national capital with alien architectures being placed at the Ashram and Ring Road for the Common Wealth Games this year, they hardly seem to notice that the basic necessity of the citizens has been overlooked in this.

Instead of jumping into embellishing the city with architectural blunders, the government should have rather focused on the need for beautifying the life of those who lived in the country.

It’s time the government realized that there are a billion others in the country who would prefer a better life and that’s exactly what the government was voted in for. Not just for the sake of spreading the idea of INDIA Shining. History has been witness to the disastrous consequences the NDA regime had to face in the Lok Sabha elections when they tried to portray a rosy picture to the public.
