A real Indian Idol is a double amputee destitute -- who lives on the streets.
A real Indian Idol is a visually impaired beggar.
A real Indian Idol is a rickshaw puller.
A real Indian Idol is a ragpicker.
A real Indian Idol is a street sweeper.
A real Indian Idol is a shoeshine boy.
A real Indian Idol is a bullock cart driver.
And, so on ad infinitum.
We sit in our cozy air-conditioned rooms -- and watch Indian Idol on telly. We're ivory-towered -- armchair critics of our system. I'd like to ask you one thing: What're you doing for your community as a responsible adult? There're killing fields out there -- people are dying everyday -- out of sheer poverty. We're morally responsible for these homicides. This'd be stopped -- IF -- we start doing something about it.
