So I am finally back to the budget grind, after two years. The markets are down and some analysts are cribbing about the loan waivers to farmers. What the hell, it is they who suffer and add value; and all the others just profit from their sweat and blood. It is a good thing Chidambaram has done, whether it was political compulsions or not.
In a way the plight of farmers is symptomatic of where we are heading, as a civilisation. The real earners and producers get scant regard or profit for their labours; the manipulators and profiteers are held in high regard and rewarded. As the seers fo yore said, the Mother Earth is now valued only for her minerals and metals. There is no regard for the life forces and the the Cosmic intelligence.
I am wondering how long can man go on pillaging and ravaging the planet. Again, I shudder to think of the consequences this avarice will bring to all creation on Earth.
