Water Privatisation .....A curse!!!
I have been thinking for a while ..."What if fundamental rights are commercialised?"
Water.. Every person is born with a right to water and no one takes it away from us.
This topic "Should water be privatised?" is most often debated about.....
Well I personally feel that Privatisation is a step backwards from the progress of present generation .This is directly or indirectly going to lead to the violent protests of the backward class of the people.Why do we need to pay for something we deserve??
World bank and IMF have been encouraging privatisation of water in various countries and
have been met with a less than pleasant response.
For example "The Bolivian Problem"....
Due to privatisation of water in bolivia, the prices increased by 200% and thus the people were outraged with such a hike. After prolonged protests the project was scrapped.
The only question I want to ask is .....
Do we still need to fight for our basic rights....are we not blessed with simple and basic rights..?
The only solution to all this problems is "GLOBALISATION"
Globalise water by keeping the water bodies under a regular check by an international organisation.... If we believe that it would lead to conflicts, well I say no .....
It should be considered after a mutual co-operation of all countries so as to prevent various ambivalent opinions ....
All i can say is that we are already under a brink of downfall lets not create another problem.....
The major advantage is that water wastage can be kept under control...
How much more long do we need to talk about privatising water...
Let us move ahead...
