Raising a minion.

Religion. Politics. These two aren't much different from each other today. Infact there could be a day when the blasphemy provision might also include hurting political sentiments as well. The only one little difference that laid between the two was that the former is injected to a person as a child, which has now slowly shrunk down to almost no difference. Injecting an ideology into a young mind that's still in its clay form is the morst cruel act a parent can do to their child. The free will of the young mind is been exposed to an undue influence. I have seen children who are only 10 years old wearing wrist bands and orange threads of a party and its goals they can't even spell. I have seen young comrades March up the roads, hoisting red flags and spilling blood on the roads rather than ink on the sheets. Not knowing for whom, not knowing for what they keep being enslaved to an opinion that was never theirs. 

"Modi is the best", said the 13 year old, with an extremist tone. She already hates a community. She doesn't know the difference between a state and a union. She doesn't know the meaning of parliament nor the upper or lower house. The child doesn't even know when and how elections are done. But she was adamant about her faith in Narendra Modi. She was fierce about her stance.
"So tell me, who is the finance minister of our state?". The 19 year old comrade who screams inquilab for every party event couldn't answer. Then how did he reach here? How did these two young minds reach in a situation where they do not knowing what they are fighting for? The answer lies deep within the normalcy of our lives. The unknowing act of not just passing on our genes, but passing on our hatred, our thoughts and our slavery chains down the line. 

Hatred grows inside the minds of these young people. It grows as they grow. And that hatred becomes radicalism, extremism and in some cases even terrorism. Had the parents of a 23 year old boy showed the way to rationalism and had he been given an opportunity to see good instead of hate, he wouldn't have murdered a 14 year old Muslim boy for drinking water from a temple tap. Cyber crimes, unhealthy debates, murders which are related to political scenarios have been committed by 20-25 year olds in 60% of the reported cases. Vandalism, rape threats and even rapes itself are also on the rise from these young people. And all for what? For a party who's name they can't even spell, for an ideology they never understood, for an ancestor they never knew and for an agenda they will never know.
The very same parents who wish for their children to make a change in this world often plant the unchangeable prejudices of caste and politics into their children. The vengeance will never end. The hatred will never end and the war will go on. It will never stop until the day comes, when we stop raising minions and start raising children.

"The prediction where I would be happy to be wrong..." General Elections 2024.

  With the General Elections 2024 reaching its final phases, its a guess that no one would get a prize for as to who is gonna come out of this as victorious. Irony dies a thousand deaths every time India is being referred to as the "World's largest Democracy" in the recent times. The oppression that has come down from the ruling side, aiding the fascist ideologies and agenda, have gotten so strong due to the imprints they have been slowly making over the past 10 years in such a way, that the right wing minions are now asking "Why not a dictatorship", "We don't need an election", "We don't want food, water or roads but only Mandir" to even much worse thoughts that are not only endangering the democratic nature of the country, but also that of a safety veil India used to provide for all. With the controversies surrounding the Ram Mandir construction and its historical facts, the mainstream debates are no longer about whether there was a...

The fastest growing economy & The GDP : A gaslighted story?

For decades, the various governments of both the state and centre have been at war against the other pointing out the GDP growth being less or more during the respective regimes according to the whims and needs of that particular political agenda. The states whether in opposition or not, claim to be a huge contributor towards the GDP and the center seems to glorify itself as the 'Messiah' of the country's economy by making it the fastest growing economy in the world. The honorable finance minister Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman in her parliament speeches have spectacularly mentioned about the country's growing GDP rates and have praised the Prime Minister and his 'vision' to be not one, but many steps ahead of what the UPA could have ever achieved. In a reply to the same, the former finance minister Mr. P. Chidambaram countered these claims by stating that the growth was in fact higher during the UPA rule. Thus began constant to and fro debates on which regime has brou...

Education, Handwritten Assignments & a changing Constitution

"Change is the only constant" While the world paces towards the new era of technology, or in a situation where it's there already, institutions parting education seems to have forgotten to get on the bus to the 21st century. The millions of assignments that are being submitted everyday in colleges throughout the country, remains to stick to the age old method of handwritten submissions. In the age of artificial intelligence, sticking on to this system of educational practices has been doing nothing in favour to the students but has instead created a lacklustre in shaping the young minds into careers that demand more. What companies seek today are smart, enthusiastic and digitally well versed candidates who would ensure quick delivery of progress. Yet, an alarming number of colleges, including the professional ones, still stick to norms that are not just outdated but have become ancient. The legal fraternity in the state of the most literate people, seems to be...
