Harsh Mander’s article on “Homeless on a Winter Night” is a telling example of the state of affairs prevailing in several parts of North India during winter. It is indeed a vivid account of vicarious nature of urbanization in India. It along with a series of articles written by him under the banner “Bare foot” reminds us of the days of Oliver Twist penned by Charles Dickens in England. Well, it would have been better if Harsh, being a former bureaucrat suggested a practical solution to the Delhi administration or followed one of the following two courses of action.
1. Send a story-line or a film script to one of the Bollywood film producers for making a feature film on street-dwellers of Delhi.
2. Implement with his own team a welfare project aimed at their amelioration in Delhi Urban Agglomeration after its formulation and sanction by concerned government departments and agencies.
