It is the true reflection of what the affluent West feels about the have knots of this world. By the will of God, not much damage has happened in India. However, that should not make us impersonal in our attitude to the sufferings of the poor people on the other side of the LOC.
Yes it is true that we have serious political difference with the political leaders on the other side of the LOC. Having said that, we should also remember that we represent one of the most ancient civilizations of the world. Our Government has no doubt made a modest contribution to the relief efforts; this is obviously keeping in view the resource constraints on our side of the LOC and in India at large.
It would be in the fitness of things that our leaders should also join in with all the other leaders and statesman in voicing concern about the inadequacy of the aid that has been actually received so far and to have the flow of funds speeded up. India which aspires to be a member of the UN Security Council should certainly put its weight behind this urgent call for more funds and assistance.
