________________ 182 : Śramaņa, Vol 57, No. 3-4/July-December 2006 misuse their time more in harassing and humiliating others than in thinking their own proper development. In this way the rural environment has been polluted which harms the human life in different ways. Though the villages have been connected to the cities and towns, so that they may have modern privileges, they have been cut off from neutrality and simplicity the real values of the village life. f) Pollution of Urban Environment The pollution of urban environment is caused in the following way. i) Forced arrival of villagers in the urban areas The cities and towns are found much more attractive than the villages. The modern scientific discoveries are seen in practice in the urban areas, which attract villagers, and they like to visit cities. But sometimes they are forced to come to the cities and towns, when agriculture fails due to flood or draught and they become helpless for their business and bread. They come to the cities in order to get employment. They do not know how to live in cities. However they live in the improperly managed houses, which have neither kitchen nor bathrooms. They even discharge their natural calls here and there in the streets and by the sides of roads. They are cheated and exploited by the clever urban people. The urbanpeople do not pay proper social treatment to them. ii) Smoky and unhealthy Atmosphere The different vehicles used in the cities discharge black and poisonous smoke in the cities, which creates suffocation for human beings. The open drains turn the air of the cities into the unbearable bad smell. Thus the environment becomes polluted and unhealthy which destroys the human life. iii) Crimes The criminal activities are done in the cities much more than rural areas. The pick-pocketing, stealing, robbery, abduction etc. are normally seen in urban areas. Even in the big temples the Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
