I am a Racist..

Now a days, after the abusive attacks on Indian students in Australia got highlighted media attention. Everyone is talking about how racist Australians are, or are not. Some of the more enlightened gentry pointed out that racism is not limited to Australia, it is widespread and well documented even to the present day. Current England, America or any of the other countries is not insulated from discrimination. Even right back here, racism is very prominent amongst the tolerant Indians.There were some documented cases of racism in India, both negative and positive. Students from African nations complained of being loathed at

even in the colleges where they studied in India while gore log said,they were given preferential treatment but just as well considered to be easy to be taken to bed.I do not know whether the attacks on the students in Australia was my by comrades.

Because under the circumstances those attackers could just as well have been, people who had just lost their jobs and livelihood and were looking for someone to blame. With the risingglobal economic powers of India and a general media created perception
that any job lost anywhere in the globe on the pretext of cost savings
has just been Banglored. Accompanied by the facts that Indian diaspora
in Australia is fast rising in the local social and political circles
to prominence. A few of such attack even though specifically aimed at
Indian nationals, not just people with brown skins was inevitable. But I would rather call it, the hiccups of a bumpy ride to increased world recognition of India as an unstoppable Goliath in the world economy,than anything racial. I beseech such so called racists from damning my true compatriots who serve to a much more prime vial purpose.Which said, we human are social by nature and in the times of scarcity of resources or under attack from other groups (or tribes) we will fight as one to safeguard what is ours and everyone of us while eliminating every other social transgressor.

And no matter how hard any of you enlightened folks try to eliminate me and my fellow soldiers, we are at the very core of human nature.Instinct of survival has evolved around us. You may suppress us for awhile, during the times of abundance but the worse you make the situation for yourself. The stronger we get.

Good post. I appreciate if someone stop accusing and understand the root of the problem. I also wrote a post in similar lines http://jagruti.orangy.in/2009/06/am-i-racist.html.
Nice to meet a fellow ideologist.

Only yesterday I read in TOI what the older generation of NRIs look at the issue... They say the young Australian Indians are losing themselves by the day into arrogance, pride..trying to ape another culture without understanding the essence etc.

Basically saying, it can be our Indian's fault too...did you consider?

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Indian Real Estate in 2024: Resilient, sustainable, and ready for tomorrow

Indian real estate in 2024 proved its mettle, balancing global uncertainties with innovation, sustainability, and adaptability. From smart infrastructure to hybrid workspaces, the sector evolved alongside changing consumer expectations. Looking ahead to 2025, cautious optimism prevails, with tech-driven transformations, urban regeneration, and community-focused projects promising a brighter future for developers, investors, and homeowners alike. How did Indian Real Estate fare in 2024? If someone had told me a decade ago that I’d witness buildings go from brick-and-mortar dreams to sustainable, smart havens, I’d have laughed. But here we are in 2024, a year that saw India’s real estate sector withstand the weight of inflation, global economic jitters, and shifting lifestyles. From green-certified luxury homes to hybrid workspaces in buzzing metros, 2024 wasn’t just about building properties—it was about building resilience, sustainability, and a roadmap for 2025. Shall we take a closer...

When family hurts: A tale of love, loss, and liberation

In the shadow of the Jasmine tree: Breaking free from a toxic family In the decaying splendour of Eyrevale Manor, Elara battles toxic parents, rekindles forbidden love, and questions whether she can escape the chains of her upbringing. Under a canopy of jasmine, secrets are shared, hearts break, and truths unravel. Set in an enchanting town, this story examines love, loss, and the painful pursuit of self-discovery. What happens when home feels like a battleground? No one warns you how heavy a homecoming can feel when the word home means nothing to you. If there is one universal truth, it is this: not all homes are sanctuaries. For some, they are labyrinths of unspoken grudges, passive-aggressive remarks, and familial obligations wrapped in barbed wire. My story, dear reader, begins in the sweltering heat of Eyrevale—a coastal town so humid it could curdle your very thoughts. And for me, Eyrevale wasn’t just oppressive because of its climate. No, it was the family home that truly choke...
