It is said that bitter truth hurts. But let it hurt if you are a seeker of truth. Because truth may hurt you but it gives you a sense of completion. So let the truth prevail.
Context : state of the minorities in any country regardless of time and place.
Minorities in any country specially those ruled obeying the laws and rituals of religions lead a very despicable life which is inexplicable. Be it India, be it USA, be it Bangladesh, be it Pakistan the picture is same everywhere. In USA black people are considered to be a perceived threat to the USA itself. Then there is islamophobia prevailing among the white supremacists Americans. Black people are considered to be the second class citizens in USA. A few years back probably 3-4 years ago, a black American woman was set on fire in public with everyone watching the horrible incident from a close distance. No one came to her rescue. The incident sent a shock of wave across the world most probably due to the fact that Barack Obama , a black American was then the president of USA. The picture in India is same. India is known across the globe for many reasons. Among them 'unity in diversity' is the most popular one. It is a land of many religions, rituals, customs, languages and so on. But recently, a sense of patriotism completely based on the hatred towards the minorities and dalits has engulfed the entire nation prompting others to abuse them, lynch them, call them anti nationals. Such is the situation in India. India's ruling party's parent organization RSS wants to implement this throughout the country in a bid to make this nation completely a Hindu rashtra going against the values of Indian constitution. Flogging of the dalits and lynching of the minorities under the suspicion of consumption of beef make it to headlines on a daily basis.
The condition of the minorities who mostly make up as Non Muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh is same too. A few days back, two Pakistani teenaged girls were abducted , forcefully converted and then married off to men much older than them. In Bangladesh, Hindus are treated as second class citizens and often are accused of being passive in the Bangladesh war. Their temples, places of worships come under assault every now and then from the radical Muslims. Their women are forcefully dragged from their homes and sexually abused. Reports show the minorities in Bangladesh have dwindled in number significantly.
Now note the mode of governance in all these nations. All of them are ruled by some brain washed people who don't hold any regard for tolerance, peaceful coexistence, unity in diversity. They are all fascists by nature and want to rule their respective nations accordingly.
The entire world as a family is going through a very tough situation and we all should come forward to fix the problems defeating each and every fascist element.
