What is meant by APARTHEID ?
What provokes violence between people?
This is my attempt to share what I feel for my mother India..
Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect hormony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, Oh Lord,why can't we?
We all know that people are the same wherever you go.
There is good and bad in everyone.
We learn to live , we learn to give each other
What we need to survive , together alive
- Paul McCartney
If you don't understand then, this was a song written when apartheid was at its height , when the blacks in South Africa could take no more oppression from the whites and the whole country was suffering from violence and civil war.
INDIA - COUNTRY OF DIVERSITY OR DIVISION?
INDIA is among the largest countries of the world and is justifiably proud of her diversity. In every corner we find northeners living alongside southeners and soft HINDI syllables intermingling with the more pronounced TAMIL or MALAYALAM. Doe- eyed BENGALI belles inhabit the same towns as slant-eyed hill people. Business-minded MARWARIS from RAJASTHAN are at home here as are the simple people of NAGALAND. Mouth-watering goodies of every type fill the markets. This is a country where for centuries , people have followed the policy of ' live and let live' - the beautiful virtue of TOLERANCE.
Yet our country has seen countless incidents of mindless VIOLENCE, when people are punished just for being what they are. The biggest DIVERSION is caused by religion but we are also divided by state, community, color, caste, sex, economic status, political affiliation and someyimes even by where we live !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who engineers these incidents of violence? Is it the coomon man on the street? Surely not. You just have to look around - in any street or lane, city or village , in a posh locality or bustee - and you will find people living amicably - happy , helpful and caring.
P.S : The second part will have the continuation related to intolerance.
