Men in India are worse than animals, left to fend for themselves and allowed to die silent deaths. Will the society ever take responsibility of its men?? Will the government provide for a men's welfare ministry and a National Commission for Men?
In this country a animale have better well fare and goverment support , but inspite of more than 82% taxes earned by Indian Goverment from men, they have not invested a single ruppes for men well fare. This is not a new case, every day minimum 200 men ending thier life in unnatural death and our goverment fell it is a social service. It is time all indian men should wake up and demand for a Men Well fare Minsitry. KOLKATA: It's known as a city with a heart caring, nourishing and reaching out to the helpless and destitutes. This premise was put to test over the weekend, and sadly, Kolkata failed. As hundreds of passersby and locals watched, a man shivered to death beside a garbage vat at the Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road-Ripon Street crossing late on Monday evening. The vat is metres away from the spot where a police patrol vehicle stands every night. According to eyewitnesses, the man had been lying there ill, unfed, and in pain since Thursday night. However, not everyone had lulled their conscience to sleep. Mohammed Gulam Jalani, a 28-year-old local youth, rushed to the dying man's aid when he got to know of his plight on Sunday night. "Some said they had seen the man there since Friday, while others said he had collapsed on Thursday night. I lifted him out of the filth and brought him to a shade inside the park. Then I covered him with a blanket," said Jalani, an employee of ABN-Amro's Shakespeare Sarani branch. On Monday morning, Jalani fed the man tea and biscuits. He then bathed his hands and feet in warm water and rushed to his father Hakim Mohammad Quayum, a practitioner of traditional medicine. "My father asked me to rub hot oil on the man's chest as he had caught a cold. I thought I would ask him his name and address in the evening and help him return home. But he didn't make it," said Jalani. Late on Monday, he organized the funeral with the help of police. The area is teeming with thousands of people all day, but no one moved a muscle to rescue the man. "Buddha to garbage mein para tha. Usko hum kaise help kare? (The old man was lying on garbage. How could I help him?)," was the response of Ajmal Khan, a local tea-stall owner. Hakim Quayum regrets that his son's efforts went in vain. "Had others helped, the man's life could have been saved," Qayum said.
