Ashamed to be an Indian

Welcome Readers,

What you’ve just read is niether computer’s error nor your eye’s. Yes, you’ve read it correctly, I feel ashamed to be an Indian sometimes. Give me 2 minutes before you judge me or call me a traitor and trust me it was as hard for me to write as it was for you to read.

The question here is why do I feel ashamed. Remember in my last post I asked you 5 reasons to feel proud of being an Indian and I know we all came up with a pretty good list. Now let me change my words a
little bit. Give me 5 reasons to feel ashamed of being an Indian. Take your time and then let me know……….

No reasons, right? Now let me help you.

Around 50 people went to a pub and beat 20-30 girls – Manglore pub attack

We kill each other even kids, rape women on the name of religion – 2002 Gujarat violence

‘Cultural police’ beats up couples on Valentine’s Day for exchanging cards and gifts – Shiv sena attacks on Valentine’s day

We elect politicians who spend Rs 2000 crore for their own statue on the name of minorities while people from same minorities are dying in hunger – Maya raj: Rs 2,000 cr for statues

We worship politicians, actors who are involved in attacks to our own country – Sanjay datt’s involvement in Mumbai blast and many others

There are many such things that I feel ashamed of and I think every human being should feel ashamed of these incidents. So what should we do? Can we do something and even if we can, why should we do? It’s not happening to us, right?

Just sit quiet and let these people whom we call “leaders” destroy our lives and this hollyland. Let them make an “Indian taliban”, let those “Cultural police” rule this country. Yesterday they beaten up some girls, today they banned jeans in universities and closed pubs. Who knows what they will do tomorow, they might even sacrifice our life in the name of religion.

Let’s welcome a new india; a ” talibani India”.
