We have witnessed a spate of incidents classified as racial abuse against Indians, in Australia – which was amply exploited by media and Bollywood to boil the blood of urban Indian, whose only exposure of life is confined to the idiot box. The war cries from so called “elite socialites” and “political activists” to give a befitting reply to the “ugly Australian racial abuser” taken over the prime time news and banner headlines….. In this society of snobs – the issue will become an issue only if it happens to the “upper strata” of the society… No one really cares on the abuses that are happening in the lives of common Indian, day in and day out. No one bothers to worry about lacs and lacs of Indian citizens, in offices, homes, street, and every corner of life, subjected to every kind of torture (mental or physical)… be it your maid, your kid, your gardener, chauffer, sister, mother, or grand father…. If you belong to certain community – you won’t get a house in a locality, one will not consume even a droplet of water from a person belonging to other community, a dalit will get killed if he happen to fall in love with an upper class girl, your homes will get burnt and you get beaten up if you question the masters…. Can anybody imagine the amount of abuses one has to suffer, just because of being born as a girl…
If the sex is determined before birth – she may not see the world (which in one way is much better than living the whole life being a subject of torture).. after birth, right from being the bearer of blames for every misfortune that would have happened to the family, to being a daughter, sister, mother, widow, colleague…. Attacking poor taxi drivers or labourers, just because they come from some other state, speaking another language… Isn’t that an abuse? It’s quite ironic that same stalwarts who order these atrocities are making war cry against Australia… Let me sum up this way… All these happenings will never justify the racist attacks happen anywhere in the world.. The only thing is that we should also pay attention to set our house in order before crying wolf…
