And once again, the world is divided. This division isn’t one that is naturally created by an earthly barrier like a mountain or ocean, it’s the barrier of a person’s thoughts. Negative thoughts to be more precise. It could be about any sort of discrimination. Religion, caste, sex, colour etc. To most of you, this discrimination may seem trivial, stupid and measly, but to the sufferers of the tormention and insults, being the exact opposite of what they are, is the one and only thing they pray for all day and all night.
Discrimination, especially racial discrimination is something that’s been around since a very long time. An example would be that of the time the British took over roughly the whole world. They believed that being fair skinned, it was their birth right to do as they pleased and dominate and torment the Indians, Africans etcetra for not being privileged enough for being white. This right was exercised by them to such an extent that they had notices outside posh hotels, clubs, restaurants saying “Dogs and Indians, Not Allowed”. This was definitely an outrageous action and so, karma paid those bitches back. This myth of supremacy has been carried forward over the generations and some people still face the tormention. Even if a person is intelligent, smart and beautiful, this one quality could bring his or her self confidence and self esteem down.
Another discrimination that has engulfed the entire world is religion. In India, which is still quite a socially backward country, this goes a long way. The random rallies of destruction of either Muslim or Hindu dominated areas by the other are very common. Muslims, mostly, are the worst affected by this. Why can’t people of different religions co-exist? Muslims are termed as terrorists by most people over the world but they should really think over- “Most terrorists are Muslims, but not all Muslims are terrorists”. Is it fair and just to categorise a whole lot of people just ‘cause a handful of them aren’t ideal human beings? And also, it’s not true that just Muslims are terrorists. In so many cases, there have been terrorists of other religions being the heads of their groups.
Most men still think they are superior to women. This world, to some extent, is still male dominated. But, powerful and dynamic women who rise to power, prove to the world that women are nevertheless as good or even better than men. Most scholars, scientists, doctors, lawyers etc. are women nowadays. All the professions that were supposedly ‘manly’ are now becoming as easy and open to women as any other household job. Glass ceilings are almost extinct in the corporate world. Most working women expertly handle their households as well as their offices. Single mothers’ singlehandedly take care of their children also. Most men are wife-dependent but it’s never vice versa. Women are known to be the stronger ones but men with their ‘no crying’ are termed as stronger even though they’re just a bunch of control freaks that keep their emotions bottled up inside them and end up getting nervous breakdowns later.
Concluding, i would say that this whole racism thing is bullshit and really needs to be ended. It is very unethical and the world would definitely be a much nicer place without it. Why can’t people of all sorts just live happily with each other’s support, not hatred? Why don’t we realise that just as all the pieces of a puzzle are different and yet fit together, we humans are the same? Nobody is like anybody. That’s the beauty of a person. We should get to know a person before denying their existence on mere discriminatory grounds. We should try to be nice to everyone and motivate everyone, not bring their self esteem and pride down by commenting on aspects of their life that they have no control over. That’s what all great leaders always wanted and we really can do this bit to repay them for all that they’ve done for us, right? Let’s make this world a better place to live in!
