When Rome was burning, Niro was piping flute

This is old saying that “ Jab Rome jal raha tha tab Niro bansuri baja raha tha.”

I could not understand the real meaning of this saying till recently. 

In our current period this saying is proving right in toto. Whatever media you watch or read major news is about rapes, lynching, hate, religious fanatism, corruption, Fraud, bank defaults  etc. this is the real situation similar to Rome burning. Despite serious efforts by the PM and slogan of Sabka Vishwas there is no concrete improvement. 

Now coming to Niro. In our current society all rich, famous and politicians are Niro. We blame the Government but the fact is we all are Niro and turning away eyes and ears from the facts and not doing enough to handle this . Rich & Famous are busy in protecting self interests and wealth accumulation by any means. Most of us have become super analysts. Wake up Niro, Rome is burning.
