Development for Underdevelopment !?




Why we learn so much?
For better survival?
Do we survive better now?
No, the more we learn higher the standard of living.
Higher the standard of living more the threat to environment.
Does education solve problems?
Both Yes and No.
The more solution the more unsolved is.

We are advance in medicine,
But more serious disease comes out after every new solution.
We have advanced in medicine
And we decreased the natural death rate
And thus distorted the equilibrium between death rate and birth rate.
And thus created the population explosion.

We produce seeds for better resilience from pest,
But another completely new disease comes up and destroy completely.
We produce climate resilient seeds for good produce.
Everywhere is hybrid seed and endangered endogenous one,
But we cannot grow these hybrid seeds without chemical
and becomes chemical agriculture that goes to our body ultimately.
Does higher production fill poor's stomach, no!
Poor and rich are increasing the gap between,
Have food security has met with the increased grain produced?
No, that’s are for few rich people,
Food security can be met only with fair distribution. 

We are highly educated for a better society?
One upon a time before modern education our society was egalitarian,
Now our egalitarian society has gone and is full of social and political instability.
This is the product of education for better survival?
We are educated to understand the values
But we see values only through production function.

We are educated, we need more energy than uneducated.
Energy generation is threat to our environment.
We are educated, we need shower three times a day per head in a family.
We need twenty litters of water per flushing in our western toilet,
We are educated, we need pipe for car wash before going to office.
Why should we suck water from our precious heritage  wetlands.
Is it going to be the solution?
Why should we increase quantity
which can be solved by increasing efficiency and fairness.

Why we need to cut down the forest for Railway track.
Is it the solution to political tension of Manipur?
Is the solution to supply chain in the state?
Do we need more import without making self reliance ourselves.
Does our land less productive, without any irrigation system.
Or does bombarding with import call as development?
Railway track can also be blocked like in roads,
Then same is the case as of now or earlier.
And our environment will be destroyed,
our culture will be destroyed,
Social tension will be increased as different population increases
But all in the name of fast transport with larger freight
Which are far more than we need or which we don't need at all.
But all in the name of development.

Development is a problem !
Development involves politics,
Development involves corruption,
Development involves nepotism.
Development is a legitimate problem generator.
