The common enemies of our society

It is not only one sect being enemy to other sects; instead everyone has one common enemy at present, and that is environmental pollution.

Sadly it is even more pronounced in the already struggling underdeveloped countries, where people fall prey, not just to religion or communal riots but to infections and morbid diseases like malaria, T.B, cholera and others.

Environmental pollution ranks a close second to such fatal threats and can also be attributed in some way to be the cause of many such diseases.

It is thus imperative that people throw aside their enmity towards each other and rather join hands forgoing differences to fight these common deadlier enemies.  In India in spite of varied castes, religion and language, we have witnessed unity in our fight for freedom. Then, why not now ??

These common enemies and threats have been listed in this book and the corrective actions have been listed too.  The readers of this book must join hands; time is running out and we have to keep pace. This is our only chance and we must resolve to positive action, before it is too late. Most importantly, this is only possible, if we do it TOGETHER AS ONE.
