Though a vital natural resource, India's Ganges River is thought to be seriously contaminated. Why has the government been slow

in clean-up efforts? With other industries on the rise, there is no motivation for the government to spend the money cleaning the Ganges. There is strong belief among the Hindu majority that harm cannot come to such a sacred river. India is underdeveloped and therefore lacks the necessary finances to undertake clean-up efforts. The government wants lower population density by encouraging people to move away from banks of the Ganges River

In the basin of a half-billion souls, purification and pollution swim together in unholy wedlock. According to Hindu mythology, the Ganges river of India - the goddess Ganga - came down to the earth from the skies. The descent was precipitated when Vishnu, the preserver of worlds, took three giant strides across the Underworld, the Earth, and the Heavens, and his last step tore a crack in the heavens. As the river rushed through the crack, Shiva, the god of destruction, stood waiting on the peaks of the Himalayas to catch it in his matted locks. From his hair, it began its journey across the Indian subcontinent. Whatever one makes of this myth, the Ganges does, in fact, carry extraordinary powers of both creation and destruction in its long descent from the Himalayas. At its source, it springs as melted ice from an immense glacial cave lined with icicles that do look like long strands of hair. From an altitude of nearly 14,000 feet, it falls south and east through the Himalayan foothills, across the plains of northern India, and down to the storm-lashed Indo-Bangladesh delta, where it empties out into the Indian Ocean. Another version of the myth tells us that Ganga descended to earth to purify the souls of the 60,000 sons of an ancient ruler, King Sagara, who had been burnt to ashes by an enraged ascetic.

1. The speaker is most likely a common man living in a town in Victoria. The fact I understand from the text is that, the speaker is a patriotic person. He is so sad about the destruction caused after, probably a war.

2. In my Opinion, this poem is trying to give a vivid picture of a place after a war, probably.

3. The speaker's tone towards the city is a pity as well as a humorous tone. His reference "Here are broken fingerbones of clay pipes" is a pitiful statement and his words "and mud is thick as meat".

4. I think the poem literally comes between the year 1990 - 1999. This is proved when he refers "air sweet as rust" as there were wars during that time in major parts of Asia.

5. The words mud is thick as meat, seed stained black, inner city's chalk, broken fingerbones of clay piles etc are some of the main humorous as well as unimaginable quotes made by the speaker in order to say about his feelings of the ruined city.

Hope it helps you...

How did the scopes trial epitomize the battle between traditionalists and modernist?
ivanzaharov [21]

The 1920s are typically seen as a time when urban areas in the United States were becoming more modernized while rural areas remained traditional.  This was the cause of a great deal of conflict between the two regions and, more generally, between modernizers and people who wanted to retain traditional ways.  The Scopes Monkey Trial is one of the greatest examples of this conflict.

In the 1920s, urban America was changing. Huge numbers of immigrants...
