Whille going through an article on Floods in India in the Economist, I was surprised to find how a passing reference was made to flood in Assam. The writer says: : “In north-eastern Assam, floodwaters have submerged over a thousand villages and imperilled the state’s rare one-horned rhinoceroses, which have fled a national park for higher ground, putting them within easier reach of poachers.” Thus the loss of human life is somewhat ignored whereas the plight of the world-famous rhino gets the upper hand. What an irony!
Have a look on the article.. http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12070508 jadav kakoti ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
