Oh My God!
Not Again!
A lot said about it in the earlier posts, what's he upto now?
Why did I refrain from dreaming?
The reason being, if they break, you seem hurt.
And now i carry some dreams, which sure will break.
What's my dream?
A borderless world!
Huh.... Enough joking!
Where did i get such a senseless dream from?
A so called educational tour which showed me the hurt in the eyes of few Tibetans, having no place to call their home. Sure, they do live in India, albeit as refugees! Then was a case of two countries blowing trumpets (literally), trying to show their strength, hiding their failures.
Then, came a couple of war movies based in africa and rest of the world.
A Perfect reciepe, for the dream??
They say, the days when cruel monarchs ruled over the land are long gone!
Its a democracy now, and i have been brought up in the largest democracy in the world!
But isn't democracy a kind of organised monarchy?
You select your ruler, but they still rule, don't they?
One of the major reasons, why monarchy was thought to be bad, was because, they divided land into pieces and fought wars for them. Wasting human life, time and money.
What's the difference now?
We still fight wars, we still waste immense amount of money on wars and lives are almost unaccounted for.
India, the largest democracy in the world, has more budgetary allocation for defence than health and education combined!
Just imagine how much money we could utilise for better purposes, if there were no borders!
Why do we draw borders?
Why can't the white skinned, dark skinned, brown skinned all be together!
Why is it necessary for there to the existence of countries?
Humans exist, isnt that more than enough?
We have the "United" States of America, why can't we have United States of Earth, instead?
The "unity" should extend, Shouldn't It?
India is said to be a Secular republic, but still almost 80% of the population comprises of a particular religion!
Ditto is the case with almost all countries, whether, they be fundamentally secular or not!
I guess the comfort theory does work, though in a larger context, here!
People would be more comfortable with the other people who might look like them, talk like them, and probably worship the same God as them!!!!
Blood definitely, is thicker than water!
And still i dare to dream!

u answered all ur question in last lines n in ur two post before this one. ur comfort theory, people put themselves before everything else and with it they lack sight for future... they do what they feel is best for them in present .... be with alike people n destory others. isn't is the case of daily life ?? we all do that every day .... world is just the larger context of our small lives......
so answer lies in changing small things.... big picture will change automatcally with it .....
n one more thing i would like to comment, secular state no where means that that state can't hav 80% people of same religion, secularism is something else......
