It is Imperative that we evolve ourselves. ( A World without Discrimination)

-
In our younger days it never occurred to us to maintain a distance from people who do not “fit in”.

At four years of age, we knew all were equal. It is absurd to think that those who stay outside the borders of society should be discriminated against.

 But now , we live in a world where we get laughed at for saying the wrong answer in class, where dressing in a certain way attracts stares, where if you don't fit in the "in crowd”, you are deemed a failure, where if your grades are poor, you are called dull, and where we are expected to live up to other people's expectations. 

We live in a society that will look you up and down before looking into your eyes.

Even without realising, we manage to drag those who don't meet the expectations of society into depression and mental agony.

We are not born with the urge to discriminate, but it is something thay has been engraved into our brains at a fragile age. No one is born to hate another for the colour of skin, background, or religion.

Nelson Mandela once said “People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, the can be taught to love too, since love is an easier language than the opposite”

The thought of using a social filter while making friends never came across my mind 
 I never pictured making friends by distinguishing on the basis of skin colour, sex, caste and so on.

 Being someone who does not “fit in ”now a days is like being a cyclist in a city where the cars reflect the “perfect” society. You are supposed to be able to share the road equally with the cars, yet that is not how it works. The roads are built for the cars and you try not to you get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt because they think that you don't have a place on the road. And if you do get hurt, everyone says it's your fault.

Why is society divided into black, white, gay and transgender? Aren't we all humans? Don't we all bleed the same colour, drink the same water, breath the same air? Don't we all belong to the same community Humankind?

We are not compelled to fit people into categories and races and treat them on the basis of the boxes they are checked into. Yet we do it unintentionally. 

It will be fascinating to make an effort to know each other without asking “which race do you belong to”? Or religion etc. Because then the conversation will based on our intelligence, character and personality. Each of us deserves to have that conversation that shows we are more than just our race or gender.

India is a developing nation and will keep progressing from its current status.
Hence It is imperative that we evolve ourselves to engage with people of contrast and diversities.
Our nation is in a pressing need to refurbish our brain in such a way that we will not look forward to finding contrasts.

Making assumptions, note the differences, labeling people and then leave. This has to stop.

Studies have shown that becoming Allies with people from different ethnic groups can help us intentionally control our subconscious mind from judging and discriminating.

On meeting an individual belonging to a different race, we should refrain from asking “what are you”?

Allowing them to explain and introduce themselves without including their race, gender, caste and religion in the description will be way forward.

Once again, the Rape buzz is everywhere. Let's try to understand  this unfortunate part of our existence. What it is and How it flourished in our society.?  Starting with the definition,  Let's see what its definition says,  By the way its our irony that we actually have defination for it. Rape culture is an environment or a culture in which rape and sexual violence is normalized due to the societal attitudes and actions about gender and sexuality I'll be talking some direct societal facts, and  No shit around feminism or meninism.  Actually ,The nature of such a culture in India has to be viewed through the lens of Intersectionality. And by the lens of intersectionality, i meant that  The already known fact to us that the Indian patriarchy is Brahmanical in nature and interacts with the systemic biases of society, similarly the rape culture in India also exists within the same setting.  Its a fact and tragedy of our society that, As c...

We can never rub away Memories.

  Millions of memories will lost their existence during the journey of life. But there are those memories which people don't appear willing to talk about it.   The unpleasant memories    Which    they would prefer not to touch on. It's a fact that, Most things are forgotten over time. Even if we had fought a war in past,  the life and death struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past.  We are so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, are  like ancient stars that have burned out and are no longer in orbit of our minds.  There are just too many things we have to think about everyday, Too many things we have to learn. New styles, new information ,new technology ,new terminology...   But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim,   there are some things we can never asign to Oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us...
