It is a tale that never sells in this country. Actually we have taken for granted that there are two section of human beings.

If you want to see how a society is completely drenched in biasedness and labors being treated as half human, I welcome you to India. Human dignity is a long lost dream for some people like me in the country.

They not only go through sexual harrasments, unjust pay, termination of service without warranty, but also a lot more.

But when it comes to any mishappening in the house, whether they are involved or not, they are blamed first. The corrupt police is always for the better half.

All the revolutions that we have seen in the world doesnt apply to my country.

Tea sellers, laborers, landless agriculturalists, small shop owners, who are subsisting and migrating all along for livelihood are always given a worse deal.

You may often ask why is it so? There had been so many movements in the country starting from Arya Samaj movement and movements led by rightists to communists and socialists. The condition of women still lay the same.

Because one thing every movement was lacking was the tired public will to continue with it. Certain streams of communists with their excessive violence and aryas with their non-awareness of the state of the country. As always said you cant purchase movements or awareness in the country. To accomodate we have whims to fulfill.

My long cherised dream of abolishing slavery and change of mindset in the country still remains a dream, half of my time devoted to worshipping mother.

But now is the time to close the book and for things so cherished, need to give one more push.
