Incredible India

Appalling news I read in the papers!
A pregnant lady was lying on the roadside of a prime busy market and gave birth!
She severed the umbilical cord by forcefully pulling the baby away from it. She died four days later. The baby survived but is found to be having blood infection.

A 23-year old lady lost her right eye after being hit by her husband, reason being that she gave birth to a baby girl and the husband demanded more money (as part of her dowry) because it was a girl!

It was a deep hole and the worker had to repair and set the cable inside it. How can it be done?
Mind-blowing method: two men on each side held onto each of another man’s feet and the man went head down into the hole to repair the cable! I wish I could scan the photo in the newspaper and post it but ‘marey pas scanner nahi hae’ (I don’t have a scanner in Hindi).

Is the moral degeneration of man deteriorating? I believe so!
The self-centredness and indifference are apparent in the news above. In China, a male sex worker claimed that nine to five job is boring and chose to change his profession as a male prostitute! And now he has no regrets for the job switch.
There are plenty of horrifying news daily and plenty more covered up or unreported.
The Prince of the World is working hard and man is succumbing to his lure. Where is our attraction of standing against this tide? Are we also becoming calloused and indifferent? We are the light in the darkness, shine for Jesus.
