Incredible India , Atithi Devo Bhavah! Beautiful posters inviting you to visit faraway places , places you always dreamt of going ,relaxing in clean cool air .I love my India.
This year Munsiary was my destination in Uttarakhand ,the name carved from mythology , with Himalayan mountains towering over the little villages .
Munsiary has Panoramic view of Panchchuli mountains ,the five chullas of Pandava ,where they cooked their last meal before their journey to Heaven.The eastern Sun rises from behind Panchchuli so as the rays of the Sun rise up ,they give you an illusion of fire coming out of five chullas.Surely a divine and magnificent sight .
We are lucky to see various peakes like Trisul , Nandadevi , Sudarshan parabat , each peak with its name and history and myths surrounding it .The vast Himalaya is spread four thousand kms with innumerable valleys and peaksod abdunt beauty to visit .
Valley of flowers is one Valley it was named so by a Britishers Frank Smyth ,but all the other valleys also flower and bloom in Aug Sept and would be treasure of beauty to visit .
The people of Utteranchal fought for their right to have their own state.Tourism is their main income .
But what do you see ?We say we worship Nature , but really we abuse it as none other . The garbage and stink is every where , on the roadside , in the waterfall , any where a man can reach in India it is filled with fillth .and nobody cares people accept it our shrines in mountains are dirty .all along the road people are urinating there is a stink as you enter a village .
And surely it has something to do with being a Hindu because we are majority here . We call river , MA but no single river has remained clean .Tourist fasilities by Govt are badly stinking no service ,you have almost beg for food .yes there are beautiful resorts but only when you go in that you get cleanliness .you go for round of city , town , or village it has heaps and heaps of garbage , add to it are hoardings and noise polution through garish music coming out of all temples,which are mushrooming by dozens at every bend and corner adding heap of garbage to the site .
And should I spell it out what all the garbage will do to the health of people around ?.
One has to go to neibouring country like Srilanka to see the cleanliness they have , western countries have few sites whish are beautiful and they gaurd it with great care for all to see.
I see no hope in this. tell me what you feel and your experiences and comments.
