Can we not?

Just saw My Name is Khan, nice movie. It really evoked in me ideas that were churning in since long. We stay in a society which we like to believe is “a diversified one but still united.” At least that is what is taught to us as I was growing up. But as I am coming out of my cocoon and exploring the world around me, this believe, which I too also shared, is starting to crumble down. Are we really united? Do we have really have the feeling to stand for each other’s cause or what exactly is this division, that I now believe does exit, is based upon? Like these, plethora of weird questions come in my mind as I am writing these very words.

With the observation I have over the period of time, I am bound to believe that we are living in a society which has become more sensitive towards ideas, comments or any form of expression than that of our grandparents. And it will continue to increase in future. The world around us has become more polarised basing upon religion, caste, gender, sexuality.Every political party needs its own state; every business leader wants her share of pie in the annual financial budget. People belonging to every castes and gender want his/her share in Parliament and education.And among all this chaos the media, which is considered as the fourth pillar of the society- the other three being legislative, executive and judiciary- plays the most notorious role. Rather than divulging on the pros and cons of an issue we find news channels busy in sensationalizing it.

What are we heading at? If I look at this situation from a pragmatic point of view, we are all heading towards an Armageddon due to selfish nature of human. And we don’t know who will win the battle this time, Satan or God. Chill runs down my spine due to horror and anger.

Here both the cause and the consequence are known to us. And the answer to this issue is apparent. The thing that we need is action from our side. Can we not do it? YES WE CAN!
