WEIRD!
How a day earlier I gave a damn to what's happening round the
planet, or even round my country.. and a day after, I start blogging about it..
Well, had I not attended the Annual Blogger's Meet, an initiative
by Indian National Congress, yesterday, I perhaps would have remained the same
youngster, chilling out and only bothering about my needs. but the discussion
yesterday made me sit down and actually THINK about it.
How a nation is suppose to
survive where every minute a girl child is murdered?
How a nation is suppose to
breathe where secularism is just on rule book, but not in practice?
How a nation is suppose to
get cleansed where a child is told to be a doctor or an engineer, but never a
politician?
How a nation is suppose to
smile, where the citizens have the right to choose the street food they want,
but not their life partner, simply because they are of the same sex?
A funny country we live in.
They say, we have section 370 dealing with punishment of rape, but
most of the rape cases don't even make to the newspapers. or to the police
registers even.
They say, we have the Right to Information, but every time a
reporter gets killed, people brag for a day, and forget about it.
They say we have the right to vote, but not fall in LOVE.
Where the best of the brains are lost due to reservation quota,
Where sex determination test goes on in full swing in remote
villages,
Where women gets trafficked
to red light areas,
Where every minute a girl gets murdered before they are even born,
Where the rape victim is molested again through the eyes and words
of the society,
Where the FIRST thing people do after a rape case is a CANDLE
MARCH.
Where religions fight and innocent people are shot,
Where illiteracy forms the concentration, and
Where, WE the citizens hardly care about it.
A funny country I live in !
