Selfish rulers have damaged environment and destroyed life of many future generations

Jyeshtha Shuklapaksha 4, Kaliyug Varsha 5116

In environment, plants, human beings and animals- birds etc. are animate factors and air, water (water reservoirs, rivers etc.) and land are inanimate factors. In Hindu culture, every factor was worshipped like Deity and therefore, they were protected for millions of years; but after independence, in secular India, destruction of these factors has started speedily. Some of its examples are given below.  

1. Destruction of trees (cause of land and air pollution)

Once upon a time, there were pastures all over in India; but rulers have cut trees on such large scale, indulging in their love for wood that the country has now become barren. Trees help in purification of air. Now, we have to breathe in polluted air as there are no trees. There used to be coolness in air due to trees which kept the atmosphere also cool. Now the temperatures are rising due to global warming. Large destruction of trees is resulting in erosion of soil.     

2. Destruction of rivers (Impure water)

Chemical effluents from factories and sewage water sent to all rivers have turned rivers into big gutters. It is difficult to get potable water due to pollution of river water.

3. Destruction of land

3. A. Land losing fertility : Rulers are encouraging use of chemical fertilizers which results in farm-land losing its fertility after some time.   

All types of pollution is increasing due to excess use of plastic in daily life. It takes more than 100 years for one plastic bag to disintegrate during which it throws out chemical ingredients making soil sterile in that area. Plastic things thrown in river water badly affect aquatic animals. When farms are watered with such water mixed with plastic ingredients, it adversely affects fertility of the soil and agricultural yield.

3. B. Minerals on the verge of obliteration : Oil stocks in gulf countries are going to be depleted. Similarly, lack of maintenance of mines will result in depletion of minerals in India.

4. Destruction of cows/ cattle

There were more than 90 crores of cows/ cattle in 1947 which has gone down to only 1 crore. Rulers, who are making billions by slaughtering cows and selling beef, will show only a picture to future generation telling them that it is called cow and they will import milk powder from other countries.

5. Destruction of birds

Ultraviolet rays emitted through mobile towers erected in every city and over buildings are resulting in eradication of species of sparrows. Once India was known as a country with highest number of sparrows but today, this species is on the verge of extinction.

There is no alternative to establishment of Hindu Rashtra if total destruction is to be prevented due to the above damages !
