why is the world like this?

Today saw in NDTV about a father in UP drowning 2 of his sons because he'd no other way. He pushed his kids barely 15 years of age from a bridge into the river 'sarayu' which incidentally was also the river chosen by Lord Rama to loose his self from his seventh avatar. His third son had escaped the evil clutches of his father.

Has a man how ever poor he is, bear to even think to drown his children because he couldn't provide for them? Is there no means by which he could at least let them live to see a better tomorrow?

Why is our country like this? Is there nothing called compassion?

when the life ahead is a biiig question mark people tend to take the wrongest of the decisions and implement them... they are the ones who need counciling of some sort if possible to be supplied with...
our country is steaming with population so not many reallly care or bother about the deaths of 2 or three innocent people...
termination of poverty is the only solution to this....
i admire your constant vigil for social enigmas..
great job there... simple yet striking... just like the previous one on changanassery s.i
