Its Time We Claim Some RESPECT!!!

Okay...my first blog of the year and I didn't wanted it to be with a negative topic, but it's seriously high time. High time we claimed respect for what we really are and mean to the world!

You all are aware of the recent...well wait! It's not recent, rather it's a prolonged episode! Anyways, we all know how Indian's (to be specific) are being tortured in Australia. Till now, there were cases of stabbing, injuries et all, but no life-loss, but during the recent days this phenomenon ( as I would like to call it) seems to have broken all barriers with its first victim! The aftermath, as we all see it, involves the two national police struggling over evidence and reports and the usual...the Governmental "talks"! But what the heck people, a life is lost and most importantly, a valued life!

Since we all know time began, migrations are an part of any nations existence. There are some countries in the world whose sole GDP depends on the population and quality of expatriates. I am able to confirm this because my dad is an NRI, but hey, whatever be the situation...it is the culture and mindset of any Indian to respect and honour the rules and regulations of any particular nation they go into. And is this the return we get for our simplicity?

I, being a student, can understand the pain n emotions attached with an opportunity to go abroad and study. I am not talking about settlement over there, as I am not personally in favour of that, but given the international platform of education, its really a life-time opportunity to go abroad and get skilled and exceptional exposure to a high level of education. From my childhood, I was taught that intellectuals all across the globe speak only a single language : talent and intelligence! But it seems this fact is really to good to be true! But it seems the age old classification of the globe into "certain" worlds still has a far-reaching influence on the minds of people. This is really sad. I mean we are talking about the modern age...where liberalization and most importantly globalization play an unnoticeable role of global integrity and economic development and this is how we repay others? Well...it may be an in-acceptable fact for others but this is true ( to the very core of the words) : Indians are to stay and rule!!!

I mean, be it the USA, the UK, the Middle East or any other part of the world, Indians are a part of their population...working population to be precise! The fact is that they gain from their knowledge and expertise. One can look into it in this manner as to the Gift of India to the World economy! But hey, its time man....time that if we are not treated with the respect we should be getting...its time we retaliate and claim it! I mean...comparing on the global scale...we are termed the Third World Country! But just give it a thought! Are we not socially superior to them? Are we not intellectually sane to not repeat with their counterparts in our nations....the way they do? All in all..can we say we are above them in all humane grounds?

But personally, I think we are at par! I believe the earth in a connected network wherein we humans can outgrow anything....provided we act in unison! I know this may sound a bit too "filmy" but hey, its my thinking and my blog and ours is a democratic nation! All I am trying to say is that we Indians have an ancestral quality to give and share and respect! Now this is a trait which is to be looked out for and valued....not tortured on racial basis! N F**K racism! This is the 21st century...and 2010! Isn't it time that we all looked out towards more ethical values...than to ponder over the lame ones that were solely formulated to manipulate the position of World Powers? It's High time!

Non-Indians reading this blog try to understand and rectify! Indians reading this blog...please try to comfort the anguished families with a little prayer! That's all that's needed!
