Can we make Poverty HISTORY?

What we, from the well off class, listen from our bosses inculcates superiority in us and appreciation, of course, of no effort on our side that directly or indirectly persuades us to support status quo. That is the way, most of, if not, all, wannabe social reformer knuckle under common sense and that is how, i believe, inhumanity still continues even if it sensitizes most of us. What Nehru did and how Bhagat mustered courage become the mere pages of history, lying down on some corner, not only in book shelves, but also in our mind. Socialization in our family and colony is necessary for making persons social, but how it became very anti social is the hot matter of discussion. Mass media has refused to attempt to sensitize psyche of people, and, in some way, has slipped down as mass slave or populist masala. How Models look like, what latest designs are, why Priyanka is so hot are, nowadays, topics that befit mass psyche and that can fetch commercial gains. Who cares about the moral responsibility of journalism and media? I am wondering if "Family life and standard salary", combined together, is the REAL GOAL we are born to strive for. None seems interested in bringing other underprivileged people together and in bringing social antagonism to an end. No one wants to see alternative in which human creativity and humanity would weave social fabric. Everyone will be happy waiting for new Gandhi, but does not care for lending helping hand to disadvantageous populace. Being in touch with many good persons and interacting with them on various types of forums, who are willing to reform society by initiating social reforms in many dimensions gives the impression that we are willing to change. But I wonder if it works that way. Middle class, due to obsession of economic gain, lose their temperament as soon as they start relating their success- in terms of money and status- to those of their relatives and colleagues and that is how WANNABE social reformer dies everyday. WAKE UP! Youngsters! Guard your moral conscience and act something genuine keeping your social responsibility in mind.
