We have had too many wars in the recent past, most of them initiated by the west under the guise of protecting a poor nation. It has often raised questions about the power of a stronger economy dominating the weaker one. It is civilians, who are affected most of the time. When the west talks about fundamentalism or racism, it is called “Big Brotherly treatment”.
Back in India, the so-called idealistic leaders depend on caste to fatten their vote banks. This is often a two way process. One is the minority appeasement and other is to attack the minority to attract the majority. However the public is always left discriminated under the guise of caste, creed. But mind you, all these are not acts of racism or discrimination. These are called “Minority welfare schemes”.
Accusing Pakistan or China is not termed as Undiplomatic Regionalism. But this is called Patriotism. The same holds good for any country. Just because Americans ego was hurt by 9/11, they can ruin Afghanistan. This is not arrogance or undiplomatic regionalism but sheer patriotism.
Discrimination just seems to continue. There are whites and the blacks, the west and the east, blonde people and black haired and on and on.
But none of us like to be discriminated like this on face. But we never mind if the same discriminations are put forth in the form of big brotherly treatments, minority welfare schemes, downtrodden lot, upliftment of backward classes etc. It is after all human tendencies to fall for sweet coated words and honey drenched statements.
Poor Darrell Hair did not know how to put forward his views. Any view in a naked form attracts more brick bats. Ironically, everyone loves this ‘Hair’ fall!!!!!
