"The steam of one country rains as water in another country, the land of one country sends fragrance to another country." Then why do people of different tribes in the same country live in different ways? They should have freedom of their rights. Who took away their rights and why?
Answers
Answer:
Tribal people's rights being a part of the broad human rights phenomena has acquired significance in recent times. As human beings the people who live in tribal lands acquire a similar set of rights like others. Being citizens of the country they are entitled to a number of privileges as well. From time immemorial there have been violations of their fundamental rights. In contemporary society the state comes to their rescue to some extent. The increasing awareness of the concept of human rights under the aegis of the UNO, world media, NGOs etc. proves beneficial to the victims.
Human rights are those conditions which are inherent to nature and without which one can not live as a human being. These rights and fundamental freedoms allow one to develop fully and use one's human qualities, intelligence, talents and conscience to satisfy one's spiritual, physical, social and other needs. They are based on human kind's increasing demand for life in which the inherent dignity and worth of each human being will receive respect and protection.
Answer:
The adult human body is 60 percent water, thus needs no argument as to its importance. Water, besides drinking water, is needed for household usages like cooking and washing and to enhance productivity by irrigation and water-intensive manufacturing such as textiles and steel. The Government of India has laid emphasis on water and decided to have a convergence of water-related departments like Ministry of Water Resources, River Development, Ganga Rejuvenation and Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation at Jal Shakti Ministry.
This, done in a system, will bring in a holistic approach.

Much of the argument is on water being a scarce commodity but in this article, the argument is water is not at all scarce but poorly managed in India. India is still a water surplus country and receives enough annual rainfall to meet the need of over one billion-plus people. According to the Central Water Commission, India needs a maximum of 3,000 billion cubic metres of water a year while it receives 4,000 billion cubic metres of rain.
We are blessed. But the problem is India captures only eight percent of its annual rainfall and rest is being runoff, and this is among the lowest in the world, underlining again the real issue is in management.
India has also been poor in the treatment and re-use of household wastewater. About 80 percent of the water reaching households in India are drained out as waste flow through sewage whereas in Israel, 80 percent of the irrigation is done with recycled water. India is blessed with a defined clear monsoon season. In India, annual average precipitation is 170 mm and about 80 percent of the total area of the country experience annual rainfall of 1750 mm or more whereas in Israel it is 300-400 mm. India gets nearly four to five times the rainfall. With an increase in population, there is definitely more pressure on demand for water but as I listed above nature still gives us 1000 billion cubic metres of rain. It is, therefore, an excuse, the real challenge is the effective use of what nature has provided India in abundance.
