Entire human race...

Free the world make it a better place ..for you and for me and the entire human race...beautiful song by our very own Micheal Jackson..May your soul rest in peace!

Well if you think this blog is about Micheal you are partly right but only that because it's about this song actually..You know this song always touches me more than any other coz it's not talking about freedom for a particular nation or religion. Instead it talks about freedom for the entire human race and that is whats truly admirable about this song.

Freedom from caste issues ..freedom from religious bias ...freedom from our very own prejudices now that's what I call being truly liberated. Truly being free means I respect not only my freedom but others as well ..means not only giving respect to my God only but equally giving respect to others beliefs as well.

It means being able celebrate Christmas, Diwali , Holli,pongal and whole lot others and where else can you do that except in INDIA. I know..I know there are still problems -honour killings going rampant in places like rajasthan where couples from same village or opposite caste cannot marry ..people getting discriminated because of their caste ..upper caste ,,lower caste..she is a Punjabi ..he is a Muslim ..he is marwari!!

I'm lucky I'm born into a family where sardars are married to christans., ..my mother who is a punjabi brahmin ,her sister is married to a muslim and my fathers real brother married to a European.
So when i speak or in this case write it is from experience of having seen my European Aunt trying to shake a leg on Punjabi songs...by seeing this handsome Christan boy playing a dholak at a punjabi wedding while winking at his wife who happens to be a sardarni. It's not only my family but there are so many others like this but I hope it becomes the story of the whole world and specially in rural areas where even talking to a person from another caste is not only a crime but it can cost you your life as well...

I hope no actually I have faith that a time will come when we all belonging from different religions ,caste and nationalities will be able to live together in harmony along with our own individual beliefs , values and sentiments ..it is then that I will truly feel freee...HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!!
