We discussed the need of being Indian in the previous post. Today is Vijay Diwas ,the day we successfully retained our LOC back. We were proud of that moment as Indians. Even today we celebrate as Indians. Hence being Indian is within us and we can easily get adopted to it. Today we use it for anything related to Pakistan either War, Cricket etc., But the day we adopt it generally nd be proud of being Indian we move towards step 2 of Casteless and Colourless India.
Another Villain who promotes racism in India is our movies. The comic characters are the poison that spreads racism. They use wither the caste based roles or region based roles and seed poison in the mind of young generation. They so design the characters so that some controversy should happen which in turn can be used as a promotional material for the movie.
The characters who Pronounce any language differently is made mockery. For a moment we forget that the day we go out to a different country where the language is wither alien to us or we have little knowledge we are going to be on the other side of the table and a subject to mockery. Take for example the person who did the role of Chathur Ramalingam in 3-idiots. He pronounced Hindi differently and we make mockery on others using his style. But he used that at of innocence on a language to get more similar rolls and make money out of it. Now tell me who is Idiot, we OR the person who used our weakness and converted that into money making machine?
The only way to stop is show our apathy in accepting it and tell our concern explicitly.
I would like to conclude by quoting what JFK said to the fellow Americans on January 20th 1961.Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. John F. Kennedy. (to read the full speech visit http://www.famousquotes.me.uk/speeches/John_F_Kennedy/5.htm)
