Right to Education for all children below 14

Right to Education for all children below 14

Siddharth Khadke
what about food and medicine?

Rajaram Gaunker
its not today cause .. food and medicine for all ..

Siddharth Khadke
just like an army cannot march on an empty stomach, children cant study when they are sick or hungry.

Food and healthcare for everyone even if it with compromise of freedom and equality of more fortunates.

Siddharth Khadke
Lets assume a being, X finds "itself" on this planet. Doesn't justice (man made concept) dictate that it gets at least whatever it needs for basic survival? I would say that the fortunates are getting a good deal.
Freedom and equality are also man made concepts. The only natural concept is survival of the fittest, in which there are only 2 rights :-
1) anyone can attack anybody for anything.
2) anyone can defend anybody from anything.

Man made concepts are designed to make life comfortable for "everyone", so that we all have a better quality of life compared to the jungle. And as long as we are at it we might as well strive for better concepts. Maybe I should publish a paper on this.
