Just venting out random stuff cause I’m hurting!
Reminds me of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s profound quote —
the day a woman can walk freely at midnight on the roads, that day we can say that India achieved independence. How deep is this?
Where is the independence! It is 2024!! Shame on us!!!
Where’s the real independence when a doctor gets gang raped as an incentive for working the night shifts, and the culprits walk free like it’s nothing? Everything is tied to power and the narratives controlled by those at the top. No media is addressing the tragic rape of a doctor in Bengal. Where are the voices of influential figures like Ambani, Adani, and the stars of Bollywood and Tollywood? It’s disgraceful. While sitting in Mumbai’s Pali Hills and Bandra seaside, people are more concerned about Ukraine and Israel on their social media, yet they are indifferent to issues within the country.
People say India’s strength is in its population, but there’s a paradox here — think about it. Is overpopulation actually a curse? Does it lower our collective IQ? Does India need more land, or should we operate like the EU, with each state as a mini-country under a single defence system?
Indian’s divided in so many ways — North India vs. South India, religion, caste, reservation, language, gender, economic class, neighborhoods, my god is better than your god, my religion is better than yours, you name it damn!
The powerful suppress the less powerful, and those with even a little bit of power suppress those with none.
We celebrate movies like KGF (a dacoit), PUSHPA (a smuggler), and Animal (an alpha male), but as a society, we’re missing the understanding of what it means to value HUMAN LIFE.
My friends and colleagues in London and the EU are making me feel ashamed, as they judge the entire nation because of the actions of a few psychopaths in situations like these rapes.
Overall India is truly a unique case.
Based on my observations, here’s a progress report card of India’s youth during their prime years (Teens and Twenties)
- Reckless behavior is common, with triple riding on bikes without functioning headlights and driving on the wrong side of the road.
- By 7 PM, many youths can be found loitering around wine shops, entitled to spit paan or litter butts indiscriminately.
- Last Monday around 8 pm, my friend and I were taking a walk in front of T-Hub and Knowledge City when we noticed a group of teens sitting on the pavement and drinking alcohol in public.
- Some youth see ignoring traffic signals as a mark of bravery, Such involved in illegal activities such as drug distribution or theft. Some end up in prison, and a fraction even rise to become politicians.
- People like Dolly chaiwala and kumari Aunty who become sudden overnight stars set an example by pissing on education ocean. These people are now invited as guests to colleges and Student events for god damn what? The youth are inspired by them, especially during their adolescent years!
