Meaning of antyoday

“Its been a while have been searching for a perfect word, expressive by its own merit for me to name this writing space and I hope eventually for others on issues, with a common denominator of discussing, raising if necessary concerns revolving larger proletariat. The simpleton soul of the country who constitutes the major populace and on whom minor time is spent.

It took me three weeks but pleased as I could have not found a more, wholesome and better word then "antyoday - welfare of the last person, to come first”

The simpleton to whom matters of food, water, shelter, education, civic and human rights, health, security, social deprivation – class, caste, gender, sustainability of basic livelihood are more important than falsified governance programs, global meltdown, G-20 summits, fiscal policies, polity initiatives and now off course, IPL (political or premier, less mentioned the better) league.

This social ladder on which he continues to struggle to lay a claim, if all it is, “antyoday” would be the means to express this responsibly by putting them first here, through reports, through shared articles, through invite of subject authors, through interaction amongst all of us and would make an attempt to do our bit to sensitise others. Yes ~ as we see them, understand them and relate to them.

Happy reading..!!
