It is strange that one understands the value of human life only when a child falls into an deep bore well left uncovered by some callous people. The entire state machinery is moved to the rescue the hapless child. However, this rarely happens when hundreds of people are uprooted due to communal violence like in Orissa or when several innocent people are killed in ethnic clashes like in Assam. Why are these lives insignificant? Why doesn’t the electronic media give these stories the kind of air time that they would to a child stuck in a bore well? Isn’t this absolute hypocrisy?
