Poverty drives ex-national sport champion into flesh trade
By admin on August 8th, 2009 35 views
Raipur, Aug 8 (ANI): Nisha Shetty, who once held her head high with the pride of winning a silver medal at the national level, is hiding her face underneath the scarf with shame.
Six years after winning the medal for a high jump, Shetty finds herself locked in Raipur Womens Prison after she was caught in a sex racket.
Abject poverty, unemployment and her husbands death in 2007 forced the former athlete into the flesh trade who needed money to raise her five-year-old child and fulfilling her daily needs.
Prostitution was the only way left for the 26-year-old mother to turn to after she was unable to land a job for herself despite having a shining sports background.
She was caught along with two other girls and three boys including a pimp from a posh colony in Devendra Nagar in Raipur.
Her sports background was discovered during a police interrogation.
During interrogation, one girl said that she was a national champion. She was a long and high jump champion, said Manisha Thakur, District Superintendent Police, Womens Jail.
Shetty who hails from Assam represented the state in athletics at the national games in 1998. This is where she met her late husband, a football player, and got married to him later.
He died due to kidney failure after he became alcoholic and suffered from depression for not being able to find a job.
Shetty who had dreamt of a bright career following her achievements is only faced by harsh realities of life and no financial support from anywhere.
A sobbing Nisha in the Womens Prison tells a reporter that all her past achievements, certificates and medals are not able to get her two meals a day.
I have many medals at the regional level and one at the national level. I got a silver medal at the national level, said Shetty.
A court has granted her bail due to enormous public support in her favour. However, she is still in the jail, as she doesnt have Rs. 10,000 for executing a bond. By Shiv Shankar Sarthi (ANI)

I am sure you have not seen his many other posts regarding India. Otherwise you would not have given such a constructive suggestion. The simple reason is it does not matter. He's gonna continue with his ranting. So my advice to you is just try to avoid these threads.
We all know we have lots of poor people and we should try to concentrate on alleviating poverty rather than answering hate mongers.

Farmers march to fight hunger in UP
09 October, 2007 10:23:14
More than 4000 small and marginal farmers from all over Uttar Pradesh are taking part in a march which started on 7 October and culminate on 16 October on the occasion of World Food Day.
This march is being organized by the Small and Marginal Farmers Union as part of a 'kisan hit adhikar yatra programme' to highlight the woes of the small and marginal farmers.
Agriculture is main livelihood option of about 80% of India's vast population while for U.P. the figure is 90%. A majority of these are small and marginal farmers. It is ironical that these 'bread growers' who work hard to feed millions never have enough to eat themselves and lead a life of abject poverty. During the last 15 years about 1.5 lakh farmers have committed suicide due to their miserable living conditions and the phenomenon continues unabated.
It is a telling commentary on our times that while India marches ahead as a rising global economy, its vast majority is still struggling to get two square meals a day.
Lack of feasible and /or misappropriate implementation of government policies have only added fuel to this fire burning in empty bellies. The so called developmental and farmer friendly projects of the MNCs also seem to be aimed at filling their own coffers rather than resolve the basic problems.
During the last 60 years, most of the government efforts in the field of agriculture have benefitted the small number of big farmers only. The abolition of the Zamindari system brought in its wake more exploitative groups in the garb of public servants and corporations.
In U.P. alone, more than 4 lakh land consolidation cases are pending in various courts. Even where courts have decided in favour of the small farmers, a majority of them have not been given possession of the land which is rightfully theirs.
Now in the name of global economic development the government, in collusion with multinational companies, is acquiring agricultural land at throw away prices to create 'special economic zones'. This is totally destabilizing the already crumbling economy of the small farmer. There have been mass protests ( Nandigram and Singrur, to mention the least), but these have been quelled ruthlessly. As a result of this 'land grabbing' by vested interests, there has been a massive exodus of these farmers to neighbouring cities, which in turn has created more problems for the city as well as the urban populace.
We are ready to grow less and borrow more, ready to make more destitutes to make a few more rich, ready to dazzle a few homes to snatch away even the embers of a dying fire from others.
"Globalization is indirectly leading our country towards dependency (not independency) and crores of marginal and small farmers are being deprived of their meagre livelihood" said Dr Shiraj A Wajih, a senior activist in Eastern UP working for Small and Marginal farmers since last 20 years now.
In view of the present grim scenario what is needed is a collective initiative of the small and marginal farmers for protection of their own interests and rights. New policies need to be formulated with their help which will uplift them economically and socially and at the same time not jeopardize the country's progress.

Assam Times - Farmers march to fight hunger in UP
Yupp..India is a land of abject poverty and Bangladesh is a land of the "rich and the famous".
its full of people enjoying highest standard of living.
Actually its GNP per capita is $1 Millionnn much much more than Luxembourg.
They dont come in the richest nation list because they dont give a f@#k about those surveys.
Also their population density is optimum(onleee 1045/km2).
And lastly the reason they mass immigrate to neighbuoring contries like India and Malaysia is simple onleeee..Sightseeing
So a country so rich and having such a bright future has all the rights to comment on a poor and "abject" nation like ours.
One request onlee

Distressed Indian farmers sign suicide pact
Subhash Pathak
02 July 2009
After four years of drought, 5,000 farmers in Indian state of Jharkhand have signed a suicide pact. They are complaining that government is not taking any steps to improve their conditions and has in fact turned a blind eye to their plight.
Ranchi: This could well be another Vidarbha in the making, where failing monsoons and the burden of debt drove scores of farmers to kill themselves.
Done in by both the rain gods and the government, 5,000 farmers of drought-prone Palamu district in Jharkhand have singed a suicide pact.
Farmers from the Chatarpur block, 170 west of Ranchi, have launched a signature campaign seeking permission to commit mass suicide.
On Monday, their plea for help reached President Partibha Patil. “We cannot lead a respectable life; we should be allowed to die in (a) respectable way,” read their letter.
This is the fourth successive year of draught in Palamu – the district has received 8.6 mm of rainfall in June as compared to the expected 154 mm – and the farmers allege that they have been deprived of the benefits of government projects.
The protests have shaken the district administration. The deputy commissioner (DC) of the district, Amitabh Kaushal, has asked the officials to get the details of the campaign.
Talking to HT, Kaushal admitted that the situation is a cause for worry.
“Paddy is grown on around 48,000 hectare of land in the district. But, till date, the farmers have been able to sow seeds on just five per cent land. The scenario with maize is even worse. It’s just about one per cent,” the DC said.
He has asked agricultural scientists to draw up a strategy to combat the situation.
The protest against the nature’s cruelty and the government’s apathy has come to the fore in Chatarpur area, but similar situation prevails in other blocks like Lesleiganj and Satbarwa. These blocks had in the past have also reportedly witnessed hunger deaths.
Gopal Singh, Vishunu Deo Singh and Mahang Saw, who have been spearheading the signature campaign, said that the memorandum would be sent to the President, chief justices of the Supreme Court and Jharkhand High Court and the Jharkhand Governor.
Janata Dal (United) legislator from Chatarpur Radha Krishna Kishore said the failure of the successive governments to address the issue of water scarcity in the area – which had been declared drought-prone by the Centre in 1974 – was responsible for the farmers’ plight.
“The area still does not have any successful irrigational networks, despite the central government initiatives,” he said.
“Even during good monsoons, the district, with the population of around 18 lakh, produces just about 70,000 metric tonne of food grains against the required 3.32 lakh metric tonne,” Kishore added.
The deputy commissioner, however, assured that necessary steps have already been taken to fight the drought. “We have stored food grains. Apart from this, there are ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) for children, old-age pensions for the aged, NREGA for working hands, etc, to fight the drought,” Kausal said.
