The Indian democracy
is the largest democracy, a sovereign country of the second largest population of the world, containing diversity in her cultural, one of the oldest civilization, great
legendry, paving a wave towards being a superpower, yet still influenced with the concept of discrimination. Some regular
news glimpses, which I am sure more or less everyone is aware with.
coverage 1, - in
Madurai –Tamilnadu, two married girls were not allowed to take admission
in school as their marriage status will influence other students.
2-in Kolkata, A girl of 5th standard was forced
to drink her own urine as a punishment for wetting her own bed. This must felt a humiliation to her but she may't know the H of Humiliate emotion. For her it is going to be a fear which remarked early in her life might remain in her latter days
3- Dalit/ tribe people exclusion and their exploitation in
the name of sometime untouchability or naxalism , poor excluded people do not
even know their civil rights, their constitutional reservation which has been given to them for ascending
them towards the main stream.
4- Indian Women representation in both the houses of parliament, yesterday
newspaper shared a data world-wide women representation of women is
increasing, india stand 98th nation. India which has be
started to seen as a next superpower ,
the women representation is still
stagnating. Empowering them constitutionally with one third In PRI
institution, we sure had a given a magic stick to practice self-government but
forgot to enlighten them for the implication part. There are no of cases where
they had been influenced on their decision from their close family member or
surrounding. When the day will come when we will start respecting our women,
rather only looking them as a gender subject.
3- Muslim the second largest population
representative of the country, is still facing a closed door behavior in the educated,
cultured society of our metro cities because they believed to be Muslim first then
a citizen of democratic country. Intolerance of other religions exits in the
mind and in most cases it is the result of the what people see their
ancestors practising, if one try to
reason with them the answer is “ We
don’t have problem but our neighbors and relatives will not approve”
It reminds me about the apartheid which was practiced in South
Africa till 1990es. It created a legal
discrimination between the white and black (ASIAN + African black), White were
superior, they were understood born masters for black there was pass and permit
should be there to be in their own country, they were not allowed to travelled
, they were not allowed to entered white people society, can’t marry or have
relations with white. Black were Considered
a second grade citizen.
Today we talk about the corruption, political restructuring,
GDP, India to be next superpower, missile technology (large no rural India doesn't have a proper sanitised toilettes)
Recalling Mahatma Gandhi stayagrah for freedom, did
he only pursue a dream of freedom from foreigner and self-rule? No the freedom
he wanted was just not political, freedom for him is freedom for each and every
citizen of India, that represent the genuine equality away from discrimination
and protection of the dignity of each citizen of the country, A political guarantee of fundamental right to
every citizen of the democratic republic India
