Chicken or Egg (classroom argument which remained inconclusive. which is inconclusive)

India is not called as the country or the subcontinent of conflicting realities for nothing, here if we can find something  true, another exactly opposite thing can be found  completely true as well.

If we take the development vs. the tribal’s or nature argument, which is currently hogging the limelight in the press, thanks to the proposed Vedanta’s bauxite mine plants being cancelled by the supreme court , then we will find equal number of people supporting both the issues.

I happened to get myself submerged into one of these debates where people from both the sides were putting equally sound and logical arguments and misgivings in support of their position, but I find myself sitting on the fence and hiding my face inconclusively as I find one either has to be a big fool to say that he doesn’t want these digging up of natural resources at the cost of uprooting the way of life of the tribal’s , or an arrogant capitalists who believes in “success at any cost” .

The very means of communications or transport which we are using, the freedom and liberty which we are enjoying and the quick metamorphosis of our metros into the newyorks and pariss of the western world come at the very cost which most of us are pretending to be close to our heart . But to turn the whole earth into an urban jungle would also be a nightmare to say the least.

The line seems to be very fine between the sustainable development and the development that we are seeing in our country today, but in reality is very deep and fast making the two inseparables. Its very easy and fashionable to talk about tribal welfare and protecting mother nature from the predatory tendencies of development but to put the words into practice is very difficult and most of the time quiet not possible. It is one of those chicken or egg arguments which have no end.

I think if we really want to do something serious about protecting our nature, than we must start from the top and not vice versa. As masses more than what is right ,follow what the classes make them think or allow them do what is right and frame strict guidelines and penalties for it.

1 Strict Fuel emissions 2. limit in the Number of vehicles one can hold. 3. Declaring forest areas out of bound for mnc’s use 4. Give forest rights to the tribals so that they can live and protect their way of life with dignity 5. And not to be so obsessed about what and how china is doing or making its country prosperous.

all those above listed points barring 2 and5 are cliched as they have been incorporated in the guidebooks already,but the problem is of implementing them and thats a whole new debate, the same chicken or egg story,so my argument has proved itself right, it is just incoclusive..
