A liberal goes to a restaurant with his friend.
The waiter comes up and asks,
"Sir, Pani- Regular ya Mineral, sir?"
"Of course, Mineral!" exclaims the liberal.
"Ok, sir. Order?"
"We Will have some beef curry and mutton pulao."
The waiter goes to the kitchen with the order..
The conversation starts..
Liberal 1- "So, you checked the news.? About the Bullet train thing?"
Liberal 2- "Yea man. So pathetic. I mean this is hypocrisy by Modi Govt and nothing more.
I mean there are so many railway accidents occuring and all they care for are the cows and Bullet trains!"
Liberal 1- "Yes. And there are so many people who can't even afford the normal trains. This is bad. We must protest. I will not use Bullet train."
Liberal 2- "Aye. Aye. Me too.. Let's protest. Let's take down this COW-munal Government! Ha ha. Come on"
Meanwhile, the waiter arrives and fills their glasses with the jug he has brought instead of the packaged drinking water.
Both liberals in unison- "What the heck are you doing? We asked for a packaged drinking water, didn't we?"
Waiter- "Sorry, sir. I just checked the refrigerator. We have run out of stock!"
Both liberals in unison- "Oh no. What will we do now?"
A person who was silently listening to the conversation so far, stands up from across the table and says "Guys, you know, 40% Indians don't get sufficient potable water. 99% Indians don't drink packaged drinking water. So, does that mean we stop all the factories making packaged drinking water?
You guys are amazing. You don't want to let us construct Bullet trains but at the same time you want VIKAS? How's that humanly possible?
Should we stop hosting IPL until Sunil Chhetri gets a multi-million dollar offer from Manchester United? Would you stop drinking packaged drinking water till every single person gets potable water in this country?
Progress should not and does not stop just because there's poverty on one side of the spectrum. If America had waited for all of its citizens to buy Rolls Royce before investing in space shuttles, Neil Armstrong wouldn't have taken that 'giant leap'! We all know Bullet train is not the only definition of progress. But at least it sets our vision clear on the path to progress. It is a small beginning but may be when we look at it retrospectively 10 years later, we will realize it was a giant step indeed!"
