All the statements written below are mine, I take full responsibility
for them, no one has instigated me make these.
My Purpose Is Not and has Never Been to Disrespect and/or Scold
and/or Belittle and/or Demean any person, any community, any country, and any religion
and any sect.
What is my purpose:- To
bring forth issues that I feel are relevant and may seem trivial, but, in reality
are very far reaching.
Acceptance of any problem or issue is the first step towards
changing it, or correcting it.
Isn't it incredible that people who are Frustrated, upset, annoyed
in India start doing well and start feeling happy when they go to a westernised
country!!!!!!!
Why?!?!?!?!
I'll tell a real story which I just don't forget, " On 15 April 2012 there were municipal elections in Delhi, after giving the vote, I went to a market in my car for buying some household items and there, on a one-way road where it was written on more than 1 sign-board about this traffic-rule, there was one car with a man at the wheel, a woman and two kids in the backseat going the wrong way. This person did not follow the rule & kept on coming the wrong way, when I stopped him and said that its mentioned that this is a one-way road, you are blocking the traffic, the man's reaction was that, 'today is holiday it does not matter'."
Now this is a very trivial incident, but, just stay with me for 1 more minute, just think of the ramifications. I am assuming that it was family and the kids in the car were of that man. Now just think that if their father is unwilling to accept such a small rule and is very happily breaking it and is justifying it, the kids will also learn to break the rules and will become conditioned to ridicule the laws. And now that they have learnt that breaking such a small law is totally acceptable, they will find accepting laws very very difficult and will take and search for such shortcuts for convenience.
In westernised nations, we Indians start following the rules, start abiding laws, start respecting the laws, we become patient, we say, "oh look everybody follows the laws, these are nice places", isn't it strange that we are ready to respect the laws & rules of other countries but never even blink while breaking laws in our own country and then we so eagerly criticize that this is how things are in India, and, "oh how does it matter", and
"its its bad politics in this country, what is our fault",
But In Reality, It Is Our Fault, It Is, if each one of us makes changes, small changes, we can change an entire country.
A real life example is of honor killings, where entire villages/communities hate people who don't accept the existing ways of living, who question the rules, who become unconditioned. Slowly & slowly small things, small approvals, small disapprovals become the rules, become the norms, and, then we look at the achievements & advancements of other nations & very conveniently say,"this is how things are done here, this is not america, this is not australia, this is India."
Please note that By only arguing that these are not problems, these are how things are done and just accept it unquestioningly, that this how it’s been & will remain, it was just luck, that’s what everyone does so why shouldn’t I/we, that issue/problem is not my creation so why should I bother, these are in reality excuses given so that one can run away from taking responsibility.
Please note that I am not saying to any reader(s) that all of a sudden he/she/they should become social activist or join politics or give up everything and become a soldier, but atleast think with a calm & cool mind and try and make small changes.
