Starting the new year blogs with a bang!!! No prizes for guess about the subject, its obviously about Shilpa Shetty & Big Brother. Some jealousy feelings brimming and words are frothing in BB. Thats the whole fun of BB. 'Racism Cries'!! Both the governments involved (UK & India). Nice one for politicians. Should they need one better chance to show their oneupmanship in battle against Racism?
Anyways coming back to the crux of the issue: Who calls who as racist? Indian Gov to inquire about the claims??? The govt that intends to provide religion based reservations, caste based reservations, the one who cannot protect its own citizens going through racial abuse internally, the gov that watches like big brother when its fellow states fight each other on names of culture - Dravidian parties etc? We have created states on lines of lingusitics and call names on neigbhouring states, do we have right to speak against racism? are we not hypocrites?
What do i call on the 'Fair & lovely' ads? What shall i say when cricket tests have Whitewash & Blackwash wins? As a country of men who tend to use Fair & lovely, we don't qualify for this game. I am sorry. Let the Pot not call Kettle Black. World, please read the article that Monty had to take stress therapy for the fear of racist calls in aus? Why wouldn't the Indian gov fight against these issues? B***ks. Shilpa is happily going to win BB and earn 3 crores but we all are going to end up fighting for nothing. Above all, please let us understand that these are inherent erroneous human qualities. Yes until the day we have countries, boundries and similar dividers, racist feelings are going to be there.
Man by inherent nature sees things in positive and negative shades, so he will see differences and comment about it. In the modern society unless untill it becomes a case of real abuse (Cruel or inhumane treatment) hyping up things like these would create further fissures and divisions in society. Compared to yesteryear world, its a lot better place to live, please don't overhype and do more damage. It also shows how suppressed we have been, deep in our hearts; thats why even a slightest provocation is enough for us to pounce on such issues. We have been suppressed for 400 years plus, so it is fair enough on our side of the population to call foul on such things (even though we belive in ahimsa) and worst of all we do the same thing to our own fellow Indians and others. Thank God! India had Ambedhkar & Periyar, lest some upper caste houses would be burning. Calm down my friends and chill-out, look shilpa is reaping riches and she is going to go back to bollywood and be happy with more films on the horizon. A good actress indeed!!! Losers are the commoners as usual...
