We love to live in the make shift comfort world of righteousness.....of all things great....of blacks and whites....But one little peep into our world reveals the greys....a little bit of scratching the surface and the ornate "values" peel off to expose the cracks,the holes,the unaesthetic angles!!
We make a hue and cry over the racism meted out to the Indians world over.....we love to sue and have fought valiant battles over the discrimination over the "bindi", "saree","turban" etc. and yet we do not flinch when posting a "Brahmin" only tenant classified! We have no reservations in "madrasifying" and "chinkifying" the people around us....but yet we screech the tunes of "coloured" discrimination by the so called "whites".
We love to tom tom about the "rising India" fairytale and would love to sweep the slums,the dirt,the corruption and all ugly truths under the so called red carpet of corporate glitz and glamour!
We scream equality and fight for our rights, our leave, our working conditions, our appraisals in the business suit environment but will have a show down when our maid asks for a day off or a few moneys advance.......some employees are more equal than others???
We claim moral superiority over other civilizations in the world and yet not a day passes by without a woman being harassed,molested,abused and raped in this so-called "civilized society".
Welcome to our fictitious world ....bordered with high walls of righteousness.....painted with varied shades of values....both crumbling and peeling off before we know it?
