This is a real life incident which took place in some remote location of India.
I was travelling in a second class compartment from delhi to hyderabad. It was night hour, poeple were getting ready to sleep. I was sitting on the side lower seat just next to the door. One guy was charging his mobile phone just near the gate. Train was gaining pace after halting at some small station. A guy was running parallelly to catch the train. The guy charging his mobile held his phone in the left hand and helped the guy to get on the train. He started thanking the first person for helping him get along. First guy started getting cozy in front of this stranger. Just at this moment this stranger snatched mobile phone from his left hand and jumped out of the running train. This HELPFUL guy was left there dumbstruck thinking about the betrayal he got from the stranger he helped seconds ago.
Think about the trouble this guy had to face apart from losing his phone. He had to get down at the next station to make an official complaint before this guy did something terrible using his phone. He had to complete his remaining journey in general compartment apart from waiting for many hours for next train at the station where he deboarded to lodge a complaint.
Now the real question to the people who links every corruption and illegal activities to the poverty.
Do you really think this is due to poverty?? People are engaged in this kind of activities risking their own life just for the sake of some money using which they can fulfill their daily requirements????
HELL NO!!!
They are not just going to sell these phone at very cheap rate and buy some grains for their family. They are not doing this only twice or thrice a month which can be sufficient to feed a family of 4 in villages like that. They do this many times a day. Yes , you saw it correct. They snatch and run many such costly phones in just a day.
So what can be the reason they are doing this. Poverty stricken out. Desire for luxury and lack of education can be the driving force towards such illegal activities. Top luxury for these people is drinking material. They are using the money to buy expensive alcohol and get their daily quota of drinking fulfilled. These guys don't even know what mobile buyers will be doing using these phones. They just got the money and bam! Party time! Drinking time!
It's high time, each and every individual should be educated about the impact of such simple looking but disastrous acts. So instead of charging all illegal activities to poverty, start enlightening individuals about ethics and ethical acts and pull them before they fell into the trap of so called LUXURY.
To top all, don't depend on any other to take a step, make one step ahead and people will take another step. Give something to this mother earth and contribute towards it's prosperity.
