My Experiments With Truth -- Divided We Stand
My Experiments With Truth -- Divided We Stand ( Is it such a big Issue that i am not like you)Varna Vyavastha...Shia- Sunni...Catholic Protestant...Tamilians Sinhalese...Pol Pot Khmer Rouge Cambodia...Nazi Concentration Camps Germany...Great Leap Forward in communist china (Mao Tse-Tung 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50)...Operation Blue star jarnail sigh bhinderwala 1984...Soviet Union under Josef Stalin 1932-1939...Bosnia 1990's Bosnian Serbs' ethnic cleansing of Muslims...1994 Interahamwe killing Tutsi people in Rwanda..Godhra and Post Godhara Gujrat...In the name of OIL in Darfur Sudan 2003...Kandhamal Orissa...The list remains endless...The search is to appreciate difference so may be for some a kandhamal will look smaller compaired to Great leap Forward but the moot point isunderstanding hate crime's and justification of genocide in the name of brigning stability. Amazed with the size and proportion in which different societal structures (religion , cast , creed , language,color) have divided the world i begin a long journey today to understand Is it such a big issue in being different ? I have a dream ... by this King desired a dimension in which I can live in peace and harmony with dignity with your I and even if it never turns in WE ... Atleat my I won't be considered inferior to yours and you will not destroy my I to make your I look bigger... I will be able to enjoy all that is with in my purchasing power or freely available to all citizens of this great nation ... I will be able to enjoy all gifts of god embedded in this nation without fear...You are not like us...It was not an open invitation...You came you polluted the entire scene...You ate different food, wore different type of clothes , Followed different religious practice, looked different ...but now you are competing for the same resources on which only original inhabitants should have stake...I had different image (snake charmers) of yours how come you are not like that only...I am loosing opportunities because of you...You are not like us...Truth Vs TruthMy truth is bigger , better and more acceptable then yours ... so it will prevail and you have got no choice but to accept it and if you won't , I will put a screw driver in head ( struggling for life in Royal Melbourne hospital Shravan kumar from Andhra Pradesh victim of latest hate crimes against Indians in Australia learned this hard way )This is part one of my ongoing search to understand divided world in which we live...Like last week's thought this is also having roots in my first Experience of being a minority ...Yes being a Non Marathi in Maharastra.
