Random thoughts and Rants

Racial abuse against Indians in Australia, might get a place in the list of saddest events ever and I know every Indian wud like this to happen.

But I never felt surprised or something when I read about this. Did u? Aren't we already very familiar with such events, noted practitioners of regionalism and racialism? Then why is this fuss there even in existence.

We shud silently tolerate all this without making a pinch of sound. Actually we have to tolerate, because we dnt have right to make any noise about it.

Who are we? Let me tell this in clear words.
We are the nation where people are killed because they belong to one caste or other.
We are the nation where people from one state are beaten and thrown away from other state.
We are the nation where people are burnt alive, not because they belong to a different caste, but they belong to a different sub-caste.
We are the nation, where speaking your mother tongue is considered as crime in few states.
We are the nation where foreign nationals are raped, because people are not habituated to bikini yet.

And surprising enuf, we react angry when we face racial abuse. We as a nation deserve this.

Wts the difference in being in India or somewhere else. You get the same treatment everywhere. Come to India, you might get thrashed while you travel thru Mumbai. Come to India, you might get killed if you travel thru Gujarat. Come to India, you might be refrained from speaking Hindi in some parts of south. Come to India, you might get burnt alive, if your sub-caste is known, while you travel thru Bihar.

I feel equally scared while travelling thru any part of India, as the Indian students in Australia wud currently be feeling.
