Leprosy is a chronic infection disease which affects the skin, eyes, etc etc
Is the Government is interested in controlling the spread of leprosy..??
Once there was a vigorous programme of implementation of leprosy control in Tamil Nadu but now I felt no such vigor in action to eradicate the leprosy patients either in Tamil Nadu or else where.
What I want to present or emphasise here is that leprosy also another category of cruel incurable disease to be dealt with iron hand by the Government or WHO on par with a person under a coma. The leprosy afflicted person is considered to be an untouchable in the social environment. as the society may be think and afraid of its spread to others if one come across with such patient for a prolonged period either kith or kin. Whoever they may be, the first thing is social stigma and family people feel it awkward to him with them in their house.They first decide to send him out to any leprosy home nearby or else drive out of the house with heavy heart of course. These leprosy patients roam on the roads with ugly look wearing torned shirt and vesti with bandage in both of their hands or legs. They do have disfigure in faces and all over the body. Very bad odour emanates from their body when they come nearer which is attracted by insects and fly's.
When coming to their earlier status in the society, they may be very rich people with respectability in society and by all. Once the cruel disease afflicted them, they lose their image, status and standing and may be treated less than a street beggar.
Even if the disease is curable, the society may not take him back to their house. There is no other way for them to eke out their livelihood in front of the temples, church, mosque. They are even not treated on par with other begging persons.
Though there is a particular day has been fixed by the Government for them to beg out in streets. It is a curse one has to abide by the conditions of the Act of God.
What I would like to emphasise here that cannot the SC or WHO to come forward to redress their grievances ?! or they may be examined on par with coma patient and an ordinance may be promulgated for their mercy killing with the permission of their relatives. either by the Government or approved agencies i.e., hospitals.
I am not hard enough to write this like but I am reluctant to feel their sufferings, and pity for them in the society. Is there any better method/ way to protect them and nurture them on humanitarian grounds.
I invite comments..
