Some statistics that will touch your hearts
ЁЯФ╢ I feel like presenting some more statistics to you. According to an estimate, the annual average income of an individual is around Rs 25000. But the same society buys around 800 tonnes of gold per year (note that the cost of gold has become more than 18000/- for 10gms). 600 tonnes of gold is exclusively used for making jewellery. In this country, a mere 3% of the people pay income tax every year. Then where does this huge amount come from? So, definitely the money being spent in profligate weddings must be the savings of the family. These savings can be brought into circulation through various mediums. This amount is beyond any kind of taxation. In the name of celebration and public merry-making, is this not a display of our sick mindset? Each and every intelligent person in the society should think about this.
ЁЯФ╖ More than 70 crores of our country’s population eke out a living with less than Rs. 30 income per day. More than 39 crores of the people are below the poverty line. Clean drinking water is not available for more than 60 crore people. 35 crore do not have access to primary education. 62 crores do not have their own houses. 20 crore sleep on the city footpaths. 15 crore are living out of compensation. On the contrary, political leaders have an average annual income of 9 lakh rupees. The annual income of about 30 crore of the population is more than Rs. 2 crores. In India, 15 crore people are millionaires and 24 are billionaires. 25 crore people spend about 50 crore rupees on bottled water. 1.5 crore like to live in hotels while 7 crore own more than one house.
ЁЯФ╢ Aren’t these statistics an eye opener? But they depict a little less than the entire truth. Where do these expensive weddings take birth? This can be understood. Will group conflicts not rise in such situations? Why are divorces becoming more rampant? Why is domestic and social violence continuing on women? Why are social thinkers mum on this issue?
