There are others who are lost due to the negligence & ignorance of the Government & the Parliament who just knows to pass a bill… they say it is a bill but it seems it is a death warrant which they issue with a smirk on their faces. It is impossible for a common man to exercise his / her right in Independent India.

Let’s wake up to the reality & come together to fight for mother of all causes – The Cause of Humanity, because if humanity gets the opportunity to survive… there will be no cause left to fight.
I care… let’s say together “WE CARE”
Well researched effort.
