Can life and death be given an arithmetical value?🤔🤔🤔

It would seem so. The collapse of a highway bridge near Genoa in Italy has made international headlines. Twenty lives were reportedly lost.

At almost the same time, landslides caused by heavy rains led to a loss of 16 lives in Himachal. In Kerala, floods caused widespread devastation.

But the collapse of the Italian bridge pushed these news to the sidelines.

The reason? Unlike India – which for all our claims of being the fastest growing major economy in the world remains an underdeveloped country — Italy, like all of western Europe, is a economically and technologically developed nation, where such accidents is rare. Moreover, its population is a fraction of India’s 1.3 billion population.

This is where the arithmetical value of life and death comes in. The value of a individual life, or death, is in inverse proportion to the size of the national population.

The larger a country’s population, the smaller the value of a life.

In a hugely populated country like India, death becomes a matter of routine reportage. Buses fall into ravines, trains crash or get derailed, overcrowded boats sink in rivers, and disease epidemics take their toll.

Such occurrences barely merit headlines here; they certainly don’t make for global news.

The arithmetical value of life and death is very different in different countries, with India coming very low in such an assessment.
