The nation has been hit by tragedies! A goods train speeding at 70kmph through the Dooars, go slow area, hit seven elephants and silenced them to death. This has been the highest number of elephants being killed in a single railway accident. Reading this news bought tears to my eyes. Its extremely sad that these animals who cannot speak for themselves have nobody to speak for them, or have the voice of people who only portray to speak for them. Interesting fact is that we humans, as we progress and develop mankind, we completely ignore the contribution of such animals in our lives. The railway obviously refuses to take up any responsibility, merely claiming it as an accident. Killing seven big elephants cannot be overlooked as a honest mistake.
Its shameful that animals like elephants or tigers, which are the pride of our nation need campaign's like ' Save the tiger' to save them from extinction. The humanity has been lost, somewhere in the technological succession of nations. Selfishness has slowly crept in our hearts, where this is no space for anyone else. On a more holistic level, i guess its not just the animals, we kill much more everyday, basic humanity.
