where Ganga is going ?

Many people knew about anna hazare movement , baba Ram dev movement , these people fasting got media support so their movement became popular . But because of the partiality of the media support , Swami Nigamanand ,who aimed to protect Ganga river ,went for fast until death and he died on June 13th 2011

Nigamanand, 36, a founder-member of Matri Sadan, went on an indefinite fast on February 19 seeking a ban on quarrying in and around the Ganga in the Kumbh area. The district administration admitted him to the Haridwar District Hospital after his condition deteriorated on April 27.He was admitted in at the Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust (HIHT) hospital at Jolly Grant in Dehra Dun district.

Doctors at HIHT said the Swami was brought in a state of coma on May 2. He was immediately put on ventilator. He was, however, ‘brain dead' in a few days. Even then, they tried their very best to revive him until he was finally declared dead on June 13, the doctors said.

His aim to protect Ganga is very important because ganga serve livelihood for many farmers and source of drinking water for many people in the north and eastern part of india. It is considered as holy river for Hindus living around the globe.

Initially Now BJP Leader Uma Bharathi supported his protest . Her aim was to prevent the Building of dam . because by building dam . water could submerge the temple . in order to protect the temple she protested . But not against the mining of the activities held near Kumbh region for what swami went for fast .Unlike Anna Hazare & Baba Ramdev there is no political support for Nigamananda .

People are Thinking that the purity of Ganga is getting destroyed by the throwing of half burned , or not burned dead bodies into the river . But this custom is happening for the long time you can say for ages. But microbes like virus and fishes in the river eat those dead bodies and make it pure .it is scientific truth.

People take Ganga water into vessel and even though keeping it for long years in the vessel ,the purity of the water remain same because of presence of more oxygen in ganga compare to other rivers .But now a days , case is different . water get spoiled in the vessel in few days itself

Because of mixing chemical industrial and domestic waste into the river , chemicals destroying microbes in the river and make it impure . according to the report nearly from rishikesh to pragati , nearly from 146 industries , 260 billion litres of industries waste per day are mixing into the ganga river.another 100 towns added domestic waste into the river daily .

Nobody is taking action against these industries . because of nexus between politics and business.swami Nigamananda wanted to stop mining action . He went for fast to death . he died . even his death will become as news rather than action plan . How many youngster did protest for him .Baba ramdev every one knew that.he has support of RSS & BJP . he died for cause . according to me he was a great mahatma even mahatma Gandhi didnt die in the fasting.

People didnt even drop the tears for the sage who wanted to tell the public regarding what will happen if the ganga dried up and not suitable for agriculture . if it happened then whole india will be in the famine . How they drop tears ?. they dont know about the genocide happened in srilanka which is near to india .Indian media needs glamour , political backing . motives. If they continue to do , true mahamata will die unnoticed like swami Nigamanand .

People give importance to religion rather than people lives . To save india in future and many families who are depend upon agriculture we have to save river ganga for what he died. at least for the sake of religion save river ganga . Please save Ganga river.
