The dwindling population of tigers are cause of concern to all of us ,but sometimes I wonder (1411 to be exact, I know off by heart by now) how does the Ad by Aircel going to help save the tigers, with MS Dhoni and Baichung Bhutia ‘roaring ‘ to save the tigers. How? If writing blogs or posting statuses on the face books or tweets were to save the tigers the Tigers themselves would be very glad, but let’s cut the crap, Its all very easy to say sitting in the comforts of our drawing room and sermonizing on Save Tiger campaign. At the end of it nothing of sort will happen at least not in the foreseeable future.
We in India have a pathetic emotion for everything but when it comes to real action we tamely go back to our cocoons.
Aircel who is spending millions on the Advertisement should instead spend the kind of money in improving the conditions of the forest guards and other equipments really required to save the tigers.
The poacher sitting there is laughing his ass off seeing the Ads in the TV.
The Ad gives definitely the impression that we are saving the tigers but in fact we are taking the lazy way out and doing what we have been doing all these years…that is doing nothing really..
When sometimes in the future our grandchildren will ask about the Tigers and we’ll say, Yes the Tigers did become ‘extinct’ during our lifetime, we protested, wrote lots of statuses on Face book and tweeted, but couldn’t help …Amen.
