The world is in an uproar rightnow.
Some of us are fighting a war, some are fighting the virus , some are fighting racism and some are fighting for life and equality. All of us are fighting our own battels be it anything.
After passing over tons of articles, blogs, news, videos, comments and conversations, I decided to write this.
We are living in a world that is full of beauty -
The nature, the animals, the flaura and fauna.
It is a soul reason of our existence and for our survival and beyond limit greed, it has been sacrificing all this time. Yes,the only key that is the reason for this awful destruction and also the fall down of it's own existence is the human society itself.
We are born and raised up with a mindset that we own what is around us and whatever we admire, even if it does not belong to us completely.
We believe our privileges make us superior than others and not equal to others.
We are conditioned to think that the societal norms must be different for each set of individuals.
All this time we have been aquainted with half of the wrongs that we consider to be the Right.
The caste, gender, skin colour, social status, race and anything else do not mark that we are superior or inferior to someone, It does not mean that one person is shackled to another one on the basis of who they are and what they do or where they come from.
A human is supposed to be free, Supposed to be equal. Being free and equal is a basic human right, aint it ?
If not then we aren't certainly aware of Human rights in the first place.
Racism, caste discrimination and gender discrimination have been three issues that have challenged equality in every Era of existence. We thought that all of this were only in the past or its a long gon history, but little did we know it has been prevailing in front of our eyes all these years and we have been ignoring it all this time being comfortable in our own private and social spaces making those who are different from a certain class uncomfortable all their lives.
There is this very famous country that has an IT sector which is immensely famous.
In this era of excellence and technology in that sector there are certain AI face recognition system that do not recognize the faces of people with a darker complexion.Even the technology designed in this era is racist ? Yes, there are other systems that recognize every complexion but why not all of them ?
In the 21st century I need be of a certain skin complextion to be recognised by an AI machine?
This is just a small piece of our daily life anecdote that is so generalized that it looks like it is fine and nothing new to us but it is someone's deprivation of rights that we don't care about.
A transgender person is told to step off a position just because of their identity is sexist and discriminatory. A person being deprived of their rights on the basis of their gender is a wrong. Gender roles are a stereotype. We talk about coming out to others so easily but what we don't talk about is the generalization, support and acceptance of people who have the immense courage to accept themselves and be true to who they are, these people are rather frowned upon.
Even in today's day a person is beaten and shot to death by some upperclass men because he wanted to pray in front of the almighty or wanted to study some subject/profession that is for a certain upper caste. why ? because he was a person from some inferior caste that isn't allowed to enter the temple or do the same things as anyone else,the norms that humans have formed.
Do the lives of minorities not matter ?
What happened to the #AllLivesmatter hashtags we all post so savagely when we don't keep intact with it's whole use.
These hashtags are relevant to those people who have the privilege to access them, you , me but not everyone.
every day a person is oppressed and made deprived of their rights, opportunities and also their life.
Talking and supporting , donating for some social issues that are around us wont make us less of our status and the human we are.
Admitting to your own privilege does not make you deprived of it , definetly does not make you lose your own, rather, it makes you unite with those who are demeaned of the same privilege you enjoy everyday back in your life.
EVERY Human matters, yes.
But know when you should use this sentence, someone else is not being treated the same way you have been treated all this time. They should get attention they deserve.
every person deserves basic human rights.
we need to get through this before it's too late.
Stand up for those who have been fighting for their rights, don't be blindsighted.
Be a world citizen.
