Swami Nigamanand's fasting death - a slap on everyone of us

Swami Nigamanad in Hospital

I am really finding it difficult myself to understand the way the citizens are dealt by the politicians in our country. Sometimes, some deeds make us to think of them as good (relax, even a little bit of goodness). But the very next moment blurs our thoughts into air, making us saying "after all you are a politician, no good of your kind !". Here, as the topic indicates, I am to blog about something that really pinched me and asked me to stop looking for TRPs like media and go for the mud beneath clear-seeming water. The unfortunate death of Swami Nigamanand is the cause for this state of my article now.

Swami Nigamanand

Before putting my comments over the incident, I must put light upon it. My readers must know the new smoke of polluting part of the society.
A swami fasting for over three months against illegal mining along Ganga died on Monday in the same Dehra Dun hospital where Baba Ramdev was recuperating after his nine-day fast, and stirred the Congress into attack back the BJP. The game that they think they play well, without getting us noticed the real motive. Poor politicians ! Really poor?

Stone crushing

Its really tough to see a public figure like Baba Ramdev to fast even for a day or so. That drew about one-lakh fans on a fan page on facebook. Now, this is enough to show the impression. But the more touching part is that Swami Nigamanand, who begun his fast on February 19, had initially received intravenus nutrition before he lapsed into coma and died in the same hospital as Baba. Strange ! None of the politicians did made any talk with him at any airport, nor at any 5-star hotel, nor police were sent to drive off his fasting. Now you got what's the sad part in this?

Nigamanand was associated with Matri Sadan Ashram, that describes itself as having "a history of satygrahas" against pollution in the Ganga, illegal stone crushing and corruption. The cause of the death was listed as coma, septicaemia and degenerative brain disorder.

No fan page for him on facebook !
 
Well this fasting was with lemon water and salt. Now you think, Oh he did have food ! Well, give me a break, whosoever thinks so, its not a food to go for three months at any cost. Why no sorrow and sympathy to him? Why did media not report on his treatment? Nobody did come out standing for him. The stone crushing pollution of Ganges still continues with no limits even.
