I think it is more a “reasons of poverty” than “poverty” itself, when you are deprived due to natural calamities or due to some external enemies, you can tolerate. When your own leaders are reason for your trouble, corruption and terrorism have spoiled our industries, you just get mad.
Yes, we have resources for having “useless” army and secret services, and for useless expenditures of our leaders but we cannot manage our resources to meet our people’s needs.

First of all I express my deep condolence with the family of victim. I would just say that, the lose of human kind is not underestimated, and whatever the crises or problems he was facing, but setting oneself on fire was not the solution. Suicide is “Haram” in Islam. It is a surrender after losing the ability to face challenges, and man with power never surrenders before temporary unfavorable social or economic conditions. Famine in Africa is more dangerous comparing to the situation in our country, but I don’t think any of them will set himself on fire, there is not a single case of that kind of offense. The main problem from my point of view is the influx of illegal immigrants and trespassers into our country, they are from different countries. We need to keep our borders secure, strict and high alert, so that We can fight with over population, terrorism, insecurity and many other problems. That’s all what I wanted to say !

Isn’t it Ironic, that a country which claims to be the first ‘Islamic Nuclear Power’, suffers from cronic power shortages, and pervasive load-shedding in every major city and town, for much of the day – winter or summer!?

The world is not poor, it is impoverished. There is enough to meet everyones needs. Unfortunately, the resources are pooled to meet the greed of a few. Victims of the world order deserves redressal of their grievances.

agreed budget should be wisely allocated but the fact is that the percentage of the budget that is given to the army is mostly spent on the army while the rest of the alloted budgets just goes on to line the pockets of those in the power play while miniscule amounts trickle down to the departmental functions…hence the state of the different institutions

When he could not sustain himself why did he produce two children ? If the population is not curbed – the world will see innumerable such deaths. In the eastern India we have influx from Bangladeshis because due to unchecked polulation growth they have no option but to push into India – it is simply a question of survival.
