TYPICAL INDIAN IRONIES

THE TYPICAL INDIAN IRONIES

 India always tries to keep her unique style in most of the things. Sometimes India turns to be the epitome in many matters to many great powers of the world. Indian wedding, Indian food, Indian dressing, Indian culture...etc. are famous around the globe. Similarly, there exists another Indian thing in this society about which everyone wants to speak but all sweep it under the rug every time. It is nothing but some ironies, some typical Indian ironies….. 

 ‘Beti Bachao, Beti padhao’the slogan that ripples at each nook and corner of today’s India-But India is one of the countries where marital rape is not at all illegal. Also in India, the rape cases increase in leaps and bounds day by day and the supreme most punishment the rapists gets is the life sentence….If the total rape-murder cases in India is one lakh, the number of rapists who got hanged will be ten. 
 India ranks fourth in female foeticide-The irony behind it is that it’s a woman who compels another woman to abort her daughter in the womb.
 India leaps into development day by day with great mansion-like buildings built by the homeless poor and with many flyovers having a lot of struggling lives under it.
 India’s pride that matters a lot during international events and cricket matches-But not when a tourists get harassed or raped.
 According to the Indian constitution, India is a secular country- but caste certificates and reservation lists are still popular in our country. Mark twain once stated that India is the cradle of the human race and birthplace of human speech, if it is as he said, then why many protests in India gets ignored and unanswered? 
 Lord Krishna along with Radha can be worshipped here but still talking to a boy or having a boyfriend is against our precious cultures which remain to be unchecked for decades now.
 Youths are the soul of India-But the protesting youth at times gets brutally suppressed.
 The most sarcastic irony existing here is that when the half of India runs for weight loss the other half runs for a meal.
 Annie Besant’s opinion is that India is a country where every religion finds a home-But today the same Indians are on the verge of another war in the name of these religions.
 These are only a few in the long list….
Still many more ironies whirls around in this society. 
 This is the 21st century….If a healthy change for a healthy and prosperous country is not possible now, then when it can be expected?
 ‘If not now, then when? If not you then who?’

                            This is the time to think. The time to change….

Purpose of Birds

 On a fine evening, my brother was eagerly watching nature by standing on the terrace of our home. Suddenly he asked me a question which made me stop dead in my tracks. His question was that for what purpose did the god created birds? By flying like this for all-days what do they get? This question actually made me think a lot. As he asked what will be the purpose of these birds on this earth? If they were not created nothing much wrong would have happened, won't they? If there exists a purpose for these birds, then surely each of us should have a purpose assigned to us right from birth.                                     Have you ever thought of this in your life? Won't you sometimes get anxious to know your purpose of birth? If you haven't thought of it yet, just think about it now. Like each and every creature, our birth also might have a unique purpose. Sometimes our role may be a hero in...

Days without no one.......

Humans are social beings....literally no one likes to be alone in their life unless they face any pain. Posts,shares,likes and comments in social media sites are the proof of this fact. But there is another fact that all knows but forgets to remember---"Any relation can die within a couple of days after a separation"May it be friendship,lovelife,family relations..anything..if you fail to contact for a short period,the person on otherside will replace you....All will forget the old ones on the arrival of the new........                               When i thought about this...a creeky thought strike in my head:"What to do if a condition arise ever in your life,when nobody is there for you to speak?what to do if nobody wishes on your birthday?what to to do when the people whom you love have no time to share with you?"                            ...
