While yoga guru Ramdev hogged the media limelight as religious leaders and political dignitaries made a beeline for the Himalayan Hospital at Jollygrant near Rishikesh to offer him juice to end his fast on Sunday, in another room in the same hospital lay another saint, Swami Nigmanand.

The latter had been fasting for the past two months to save the Ganga. Nigmanad died unsung early this morning. During the action-packed past three days, when the political and religious leaders converged at the hospital to meet Ramdev, no one cared to visit the unconscious young saint.

Swami Nigmanand of Matra Sadan passed away at the hospital at 2.30 am, leaving his followers and even his guru shocked. He had been on fast-unto-death since February 19, 2011, for the 68th consecutive day, when he was forcibly hospitalised by the district administration.

01)   This, amply demonstrates that, we as a Society, are cruel, ignorant and insensitive to the grave issues like Ecological Degradation that concerns us as well as threatens the very sustenance of our near future generations.

02)  Cruel because we over-react to the 'Dharnas' of the popular, while all the while carelessly ignore those who couldn't command the attention of the Media, the Elite and the Leaders.

03)  Ignorant because our leaders, media and the Elite are blissfully unaware and / or callous about our future Environmental Challenges that we force our immediate future generations to face.

04)  Insensitive as we rob the Ecological Security of our near future generations, for our own resource guzzling life-styles.

05)  In this gruesome crime and sin, we are all equal-partners including the Leadership - Political, Social, Economic, Media & the so-called Elite
