India Vs. Bharat

Sounds shocking? It is indeed shocking..but we can not deny the presence of this existing divide between India i.e. the urban, educated (English news channel audience class) and Bharat the rural agriculture oriented class. We are going through a phase where the inflation has attained its peak, where our agricultural production has reached to lowest, farmers are committing suicides but still "we" not bothered by anything of this sort are enjoying the Indian Premier League as it has given us a tool with the help of which we get entertained and we can screw up any got dam player in the world.
As far as the scene in Maharashtra goes; the rural parts of the state are facing the heat of Load shading and are running short of electricity, the farmers are not getting enough electricity to provide water to their crops and we on the other hand are celebrating this event of life time in day-night cricketing grounds. The Farmers in my state are not getting diesel/fuel to run the water pumps and we are having a new cab service in Mumbai especially designated for the IPL matches (Helicopter Service).
The violence of the Maoists is not getting covered by our hundreds of news channels who are on 24*7 discussing lives of film stars and cricketers and now the big cricketing bash the IPL,
Everyone back in Pune observed two minutes silence remembering the innocents who were killed in German Bakery Blast on 12th of this month but we hardly bother to even mention about those who are killed by the Maoists just to put across their message.
We raise our voices in talk shows debates on the news channels, we write in the news papers and express our concerns on the fall in the agricultural production but we at the same time justify the land acquisition for the purpose of SEZs........We easily and conveniently forget that a son of farmer in this generation does not want to be farmer...he wants to be a part of fun filled careless life style which he can only get if he migrates to the urban centers ......he wants a secure life which is free from the threats of the Maoists, the private money lenders, the ever lying and non functional politicians....he wants to reach to a stage where drought situation will not hamper his day to day life....he is getting frustrated by not getting all his needs fulfilled and this is again adding to the ever increasing divide between India and Bharat..................
It's getting very frustrating man........need something............need one jadu ka chiraag and a jenny who can give us a solution...........
