Evil Is The Way We Divide

I may not be a good person, I may be a liar, I may be a thief or I may be even be something worse, but one thing that I can proudly say about myself without doubting a second is that I have never discriminated against anybody on the basis of caste, creed, color, religion or region from where a person belong. Never, ever.

Most of you will think that similar may be the case with you also and may be you are right, but, the population for whom it really stands true is negligibly small.

You say you don’t discriminate against Hindu, Muslim or Christian, fine by me. But is that the only way to discriminate or have such mentality.Ask the question to yourselves. Let’s take a case:

I am studying in the National Institute of technology, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, Inddia. Students come here from all over the country and do you know what is one of the first thing the inquire about after coming into the college, apart from being the sex ration of course, it is the percentage of students who hail from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, South India and any state they can think of.

What do you have to say about that? How is that for so called educated students who identify themselves as secular persons?

On the very first day of my college, I went to a shop to by nylon ropes for hanging my clothes. This is how our short conversation went:

Shopkeeper: how long should I cut the rope?

Me: 5 to 6 meters

Shopkeeper: what! Don’t tell me that you are going to hang that rope in your room. Biharis do like that.

I simply took the rope, paid for it and went away.

I can just go on and on and on, giving you countless such examples that I witnessed and faced myself.

When I started doing my research for writing an article on this topic, I realized that how mammoth the task is. I realized that I can’t just conclude it in one post. Why? Because the scenario of present day is that we have developed some sort of antigen that just goes on finding novel ways on dividing human beings into categories. As if it is its only hobby and only job. When we are done dividing people into religions, we go on to community, then caste and this goes on. 

I have tried to discuss this problem for quite some time. Now, when my exams are over,from this post onwards I will be posting on some specific areas related to the issue. I will try my level best not to bore you with my ideas and views only, but, with hard facts, evidences and case studies.
