We are supposed to be believing that God resides in every
living being. We worship trees, rivers, animals, etc. But Himalaya
is coming down, our rivers are all polluted to the extent that they resemble
dirty drains. But except much hyped Nirmal Ganga Abhiyan we do not hear much
from religious leaders about our polluted rivers. Swami Nigamanand protested
against vested interests harming Ganga and
sacrificed his life. No body was moved by his sacrifice. Ganga
remains polluted with all the illegal activities going on along its banks. Only
during kumbh the religious leaders wanted clean ganga water
for their bathing. There were reports of installation of ultra modern machines at
some religious leaders’ camp churning pure Ganga
water for devotees for a price. As far as the common people were concerned they
managed with polluted Ganga
and Yamuna water. Many of our religious festivals also increase environmental
pollution. Neither our Religious leaders nor the social elite seems to be
worried about the increasing use of polluting items during these festivals.
Contrary to that His Holiness Dalai Lama and Tibetans outside Tibet are
constantly raising the issues of Tibetan environment before the international community.
They are trying to convince all those
who they think can help about the need to protect Tibetan environment not only
for Tibetans but also for the
neighbouing countries. They are always vigilant. China’s plans to use the lakes
worshipped by Tibetan Buddhists for commercial purposes are resisted with full
might. At the same time, China’s
uninterrupted propaganda against His
Holiness Dalai Lama is ignored. While China does no loose an opportunity to call names
to His Holiness Dalai Lama the Tibetans bear their hurt gracefully and try to
engage China
in resolving Tibetans’ outstanding issues. Tibetans in Tibet are for quite some time immolating
themselves as a protest against China’s
disrespectful attitude towards His Holiness Dalai Lama.
