Villages

I have forgotten Rhythms of Life and lost somewhere amid crimes and criminals? That's temporary. 

This one, Rhythms of Life is long lasting.

Some politician said, we will make 100 smart cities. What about villages? As till today, India's most population live in villages. वैसे हालात तुम्हारे शहरों के भी अच्छे ना  हैं -- by the way, what happened to those smart cities?

In case someone thinks to live in a village, what would be your choice? 

Overcrowded villages nearby NCR, metros or nearby some big cities? Or villages far away from metros or cities and less crowded? What would be problem in such villages? Less facilities or even life support basic services? -- especially when we think about villages in India. 

In last few years, I heard some people calling Chandigarh a village. Wow! Once upon a time, I used to like that city. Probably, in gamblers language, that's a village. Still like this city but not that much as it has also become crowdy with time. But still, it's better than most cities of India. 

What if villages can be like Chandigarh or even better? 

Let's have a journey around globe of some beautiful villages? 

Or try to make your own villages better and beautiful? You wanna live there or not, wanna live for some time or planning some permanent settlement, at least have some responsibility of belonging. 

How that change could be? Only by people's participation, not by totally depending on governments. Governments in most underdeveloped or still developing countries generally don't work for people. They work as per corporations and power houses designs. And their designs are nothing but exploitation. Most such governments are irresponsible and without any accountabilities to common people. Their responsibility and accountability are only to the people who gift them these chairs. And these people are not common people. 

For any government where common people are their concern, focus would be on:

Education not religious propagandas. Religious propagandas are most binding forces among less educated populations. It means, people there have more problems and trying to seek some refuse somewhere as they don't have better resources. Maybe justice system is also dead there.

Healthcare, not mere healthcare propagandas and shops on the name of healthcare. Not enforced invisible programs but transparent choices.

At least some living standards. Not making money even on the name of safe drinking water or creation of market even on that name.
