Linguistic Impartiality – New Weapon in Politics
Gone are the days when the fight was for “Development” and “Prosperity”. This is the new mantra of Desi’s brought out by the political regime – “Linguistic Dosage”. There was a time when Desi was to be our Pride, but this it seems to be washing away with time. Now, Desi has been linguistically divided and politically spoken of for “States” and not for the real meaning “Desam aka Apne Desh ke”.
This has raised eyes and debates, which seem no end. I am stunned, to answer the one question “Who are you”? Am I just me an individual, or an Indian or a Hindu or a Marathi or a Marathi speaking Hindu and what not. The list seems endless, and lost in the melodrama of politicians. Are we gone so insane, to not understand this mere fact of life, that it’s India we speak of and not a religion, language, caste or creed. But alas, they have played their cards, and we are mere players who dangle over here and there, winning games for the f***ing players.
I know we fight to keep awake our roots, our culture and our sanctity. But is it lawful to force something on someone. Truly not, or what are we asking for. Is it to change our Nations sanvidhaan. Truly, if need be, I do vote for it, but then there is a lot of good stuff to be changed, than fighting over the trivial details. You have poverty to fight, development to do, castesism to work out, and corruption to do with. If I get it, I can change a lot of stuff, but is it worth changing it just for ME, or is it worth to change things for a country. I wish, our good old Netas understand this, and act on this. I just wish, and wish and wish and keep wishing.
Well well well, I guess that’s over with. Just one thing I did like to raise, a question to all “Who are you”? If you can answer this one thing, then you know what to do. It’s no point in arguing over linguistic differences, differences which divide us in parts. How many more parts we need, and how many times we need. It’s tiring and heart breaking to see, that we pride ourselves over “Multicultural Society” and still we fight over such politically incorrect propaganda.
There is always a new funda everytime the vote bank goes down, it starts with Bandhs, to Morchas, to Racism, to Castesism, to Cultural differences. It’s a wave, that keeps flowing, and who will survive, not you, not me, not us, but just the people who started this. To me the future seems blurred, as to introduce myself, I did need to speak 114 language, and 216 other dialects or bolis, or to say “I can waste my 60 years learning them, and finally go to places in my own country”. More precisely, the future of india will be written by 60 year old scholars, who know nothing but just languages and bolis. Hmm, sounds good to me, I guess it sounds good and happy to everyone
. Good going India, we can see the future coming. I just wish, that we Indians can speak out bluntly “We are Indians”, else soon our introduction to the world will be something like below:
“I am Mr. Shyam, from xyz State, speak zzz language, and come from zxb sect” and India will soon die. So Jaago India Jaago. We don’t have a problem with Hindi or Marathi or Telugu or Tamil, but we need to communicate irrespective of anything.
Fact File:
It is a common belief that North Indians speak Hindi, and so we dominate the Hindi language. But like other states, there are different languages in North India, they have their own culture and beliefs. Why is it then that Hindi is common for communication, coz it’s been understood and accepted by all. Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad are cosmos, and there is never a linguistic fight, unless some “gud to be netas” say so. When our jawans fight over the border, they don’t speak a language of state, but speak the language of unity “One for all and all for one”. When our teams play, they don’t play for state, but play for india as a whole. They find a way to communicate, irrespective of different cultures, they stand in unity. That’s what we need to learn, that we are Indians first, and always. It does not matter what we are, but it does matter who we are.
:):)
Churns:
I was wondering, if everyone stay in their own states and no mixture at all, we’ll soon be living in the ages of Rajas and Maharajas – Protecting our ases at the states, afraid to venture out. Hmm, so is this the start of a new era of secularism, or reverse generation, let’s see.
