Don't give us a fish, rather teach us to fish

An 0ld proverb..Don't give them a fish, teach them how to fish. It means empowering them to eat fish forever in stead of making them dependent on somebody else. It is a simple powerful one liner.

However currently political parties cutting across the party lines try to defy it. They prove a point by saying, Give them a fish and don't teach them to fish. As long as they are getting fish from you, you can take their vote for granted. How?

BJD is providing rice for RS 2/kg and Congress BJP promise for Rs 1 per kg. So one need not earn enough. As long as he is poor, he can get his meals. Karunanidhi in Tamilnadu get elected by promising free TV. The free list goes from rice, TV, loan, interest etc. So we better get something as free. It teaches people not to work. We Indians are getting lazy and dependent on free stuff.

There is no free lunch in the world. So how does government provide this as free? It is simple. Government does not spend in other expenditure. Education system is pathetic. There are no schools and school with no teachers or infrastructure. There are no development work, people don't get basic amenities like health care and education. Or government can take loan to do these works.

So aam junta is loosing. Actually she is living with rice and does not think beyond it. She is becoming lazy and dependent.

We don't need your sympathy and mercy. Don't give us rice at RS 1 per kg. But generate enough employment. And make the life secure, where we can get our basic livelihood.
