Before I will write here more details
from my trip I would like to share mmy thoughts about issues of
India.
Travelling to India is a really intense
experience. The cultural mix and gap from the west is overwhelming.
You are forced to see the inequalities of the world and among indian
society.
From all the issues that India faces, 2
seem the most urgent: poverty and pollution.
About the last one it's easy to get,
there are little hygiene habits, gargabe is thrown on the street,
corners or sources of water. The dirtyness its in a big scale in the
bigger cities. No organization can take care of this issue because
the problem seems to start on everyone's education.
Then poverty, being the worst case in
Mumbai. Hundreds of homeless and many orphans accumulate next to busy
roads. What kind of life is that? What to do with that? Huge scale
family planning, feeding or adoption programs? In India you see a lot
of things yet to be done and you have to question yourself if you
could be useful as an individual. You have to realize that the world
is not just the warm corner you live in, and maybe there are more
important things than the stuff you aim to buy one day.
