A 45-day growth model

Indian Growth Model

Only for three days live a woman’s life from dawn to dusk
Only for three days be a Dalit, moving and living near a temple
Only for three days be a tribal and live that life in a remote village
Only for three days be an urban or rural displaced and visit government offices
Only for three days be a Muslim and try buying a home in the city’s general neighbourhood
 

Only for three days, live the life of a city slum dweller
Only for three days, sleep on a hungry stomach
Only for three days, live in Kutch’s desert, the life of a salt worker
Only for three days, be a patient in a government hospital
Only for three days, be a student in a government school
Only for three days, be a river that flows through cities and industries
 
 
Only for three days, oppose the errant governments, politicians, the strong and rich freely
Only for three days, talk to oneself, switch off the phone
Only for three days, spend time with books
Only for three days, live a gender equal life
Try living the contrary, just for 45 days
And, then, discuss the prevalent growth model…
