Value of human life

One could understand the value of human life only when a child falls into an uncovered ditch made by callous workers of some multinational companies. The entire state mechanism along with the military would come in rescue of the hapless child who fell into the ditch. This is the scene we once again witnessed when the child Sonu fell down a deep bore well that was left pitilessly uncovered. Though the child died when rescue work was in progress the visual media gave wide coverage to the rescue operation. The way in which the State administration, the Army and the media handled the incident remind the value the human life in India. However this sort of approach is not seen when hundreds were dead in Orissa due to communal clash and several migrants of Bengladesh are dead in Assam

Why for the media and the Army the lives in Orissa and Assam insignificant?
The Governments in States and Centre hereinafter should contemplate to give the same preciousness to the lives of those unfortunates who get killed in racial clashes along with those tender lives which are lost in bore wells. This I say because we have yet to watch the last bore well death and the last ethnic clash death.
