Discrimination. That’s the outcome of one of the most loved and hated form of human hatred. Racism. Many love it though. And hate it. Equally.Consciously or unconsciously. Then today human civilization is running its largest race ever run. Run for survival.
Racism practiced all over the world has been an epitome of collective egoism of the structured and conditioned world. For ages. The fire still rages. Change, time, education, evolution, hasn’t done a great deal to heal the wounds of this man-to-man discrimination in form of racism.
Why I chose to write on this?
Racism has raised it head big time over the last few days. Beauty or ugly is only a matter of perception. Cricket. The sport turned game.With the race for racism on, it is cricket obviously on a sticky wicket.
We have news channels leading the public outcry and well-orchestrated emotional provocations. Big time. All in the name of “patriotism”. With Tricolors as the background, racism has shown its true colors yet again.Shameful!! As a collective human family, which I suppose evolved from a
single seed.
While we have experts, columnists, star bloggers, fans and majority opinion chiding mutual “racist” abuses and allegations, without the burden of agreement and disagreement, lets take a step back and look within. It will help looking at the larger issue more objectively,without judgment and stop this ridiculous race of money making on breeding hatred in the name of “racism”. It’s now a big game!! Bigger than all sports together. Game of division.
No one is perfect. It’s a common problem and we are part of it.
India for ages has more reasons for bringing up a “divided society”.Discrimination practiced at the highest order. At the order of elitists.We have perhaps the tallest list of caste, sects and subsects. There has been constant battle with purported racist remarks openly or subtly by
both sides. Extreme acts of the extremists. So called forwards and backwards. Sounds like football or hockey. Isn’t it? It then sticks a completely different kick to people in both forms of “ famous” human emotions. Pain and pleasure.
It has now embedded in human genes over generations. In psychological terms. Then one doesn’t come in terms with these, if conscious. Truly Conscious.
Then we have regionalism, language, state, district, dialect, status, clubs, association, beliefs, religion, education, physical look, outlook and so many reasons. Above all the universal discrimination. The color of the skin. Within the family. With two siblings with different
complexions are exposed to harsh discrimination. Thanks to creams like fair and lovely. More than the illusion of fairness, it promotes faith and hope. Of fairness. In true sense.
Family, schools, institutions, cult leadership and individuals in that order have made the human psyche go out of order for generations now.Suffering from racist discrimination is now a “normal” human behavior.These have also quietly quelled and killed any budding evolution to human equity and being. A space where there is no walls. Then it does makes good news or breaking news all the time for provoking perversions of human mind time and again.
More importantly generates money. Money is perhaps the universal language, which all understand. And its not the money per- se, but” the love of money” that has perpetuated this cardinal sin in several forms and means.
I don’t think anyone living today can be blamed. And that’s not the objective of my thought process and expression.
Wouldn’t it be fair not to hurt each other in the name of any sort of discrimination? Racism included.
Isn’t it fair to stop supporting, sponsoring and practicing by being conscious and aware of the enormous “space for manipulation” we create within ourselves to be influenced and engaged negatively?
No rights and wrongs. No judgment. Its time we start living. In real sense. It’s a race we need to run together, holding each other’s hands as “one human race”. It seems to be a marathon of generations. Then any change happens with one conscious step.
Last word on Cricket.
Lets forgive, forget and get on with the sport. There’s lot to learn, enjoy and flourish with every sport. Cricket included. Discourage discrimination within, without and all around. For tomorrows child.

This is actually so inspirational.
I write many poems on the issues our world has to face. There are many powerful ways you have expressed this topic, I was wondering if this is your own writing, that I could borrow your ideas into my peices?
Thank you
