Flat World and KFD.

Every where it is Thomas Friedman and his new book 'world is flat' and globalisation and role of india and china and many more.
But My favourite columnist of ET Arun Maira ,makes me scribble some thing on other face of it.. (after reading globalisation & peepal tree of ET )
I agree those words 'levelled fields' but i can see only some parts of the world is levelled and rest is still round...

After conversation with my friend yesterday night i was aghast !!
He explained me the havoc of KFD and casualties(10) around his remote village..

Let me tell u something abt KFD.. it is a disease called Kasanoor Forest Disease after the first case reported from kasanoor village of shimoga it is named after it . KFD strikes every year during summers ...in districts of Shimoga, North Kanara, and chikamagalur .

As these areas are densely covered by western ghats and people living in these remote areas have occupation of horticulture and farming and deeply associated with forset..during summers monkeys in forest will die bcz of that deadly fever and the they have small flies on their body through which the KFD virus will reach humans as result people will suffer from fever and some cases death..

The thing is that KFD is not a new disease it is reported from 1970s and no proper attention is given to prepare a treatment for it. as a result every year many people in those areas will die bcz of KFD..

If a disease strucks Delhi ( levelled field!!) it make huge news... but every year KFD cases go unreported...( i know there are more diseases like KFD in india) the people at swanky glass towers have all acess and on other side people will die due to basic aminities like healthcare..

May be, those peoples epitaph read like these...

" We all died bcz we were born in a country with 1 billion people
where primary health care is still a dream and people
in levelled fields talk about cloning".
