There’s a child, born to parents who have been poor for generations, not allowed to educate themselves or their children, ostracised from main society for centuries. There’s another child, born to some parents, but left with none, thrown in a dumpster, or left in a park, to die or to survive on its own, no idea where to get food from, or even how to get food, nowhere to go, and no one to love him/her. It would be natural to think that both these children deserve sympathy and affirmative action in some form, if only from the voice of conscience that resides deep within us.
Hence, they get lost in the push and pull over competing demands.They do not influence votes, having no parents who are voters. Orphans are not even a prominent social nuisance group. In a democracy, one of the fallouts of majority representation is that policies and funds are often around cornered by those who provide the maximum number of votes, a term we can call the votable bias. It is because of this votable bias, that there are schemes such as mid-day meal, Anganwadi, Ujjwala – schemes that would be of importance to mother’s for the children- because mothers form a large vote bank.
An old age home is usually the place a home for those old people who have no one to look after them or those who have been thrown out of their homes by their own children.The place is of course like home where the inmates get all the facilities for a routine living like food clothing medical and shelter. At least in India till now, the old people staying away from the home, from their children, or left to themselves is not considered to be a very happy situation.This concept of separating the elders from the youngsters has been imported into India from the West. It is very clear to all who visit an old age home that all the inmates are there, not for the love of being away from home and independent but because there is no better alternative left for them, once they are neglected and unwanted in their own homes by their own children.The only solace is that they are getting their daily requirements of shelter and food if not the bonds of love from the family.
