( Print) Dystopian Future
After more than hundred days of Covid -19, I took an evening walk. Though I was able to take a far-sight view from the high-rise building but to use own physical limbs on side-walk is different from visual sight. My daughter caught hold my hand in the zebra-crossing in such a way, as if am blind or sick. I felt odd and funny.But her constant running commentary to caution me was little irritating! I decided to take walk by myself alone is better to keep her free from stress,
It strikes me to see the bright erected placards around the entire Lincoln Center with slogan,"Black lives matter"!I was reading each placard silently like 'mantra'. Suddenly it came to my mind ,'why only black lives!'
All lives and any life is valuable related to the earth. I agree the inhuman police brutality of murdering a black man is a heinous crime in history;I have doubt about that police as not a normal person by observing the way the way he killed! Some other stand-in polices (or persons) nearby who witnessed passively without restrictions should also be punished.
The African Americans highlighted the incident in such a degree that even the pandemic of covid-19 became less important issue for certain period of time.They incited all records from the past history of injustice committed to them to stir the violence
.Of course the motivated politicians await for opportunity to exploit such situation.One particular incident is deployed and mirrored in multiplicity. They forget that the present is not less true or less important than the past.They have survived the turbulent past with courage and bravery to avail of this golden present ;they enjoy the equal rights and facilities in the land of whites as much as the whites do.
The Black Americans enjoy the honorable seat and position in all portfolios of administrative, legal and judiciary as senator, as judge in Supreme Court and even as President of the country, the highest administrative post for two Terms What more is expected?
Can it be possible if it were a land of white supremist?
The word 'rights 'should always followed by 'duties 'hand in hand in democracy. To maintain the law, order and peace a loyal citizen should not foster the past ghost of apartheid (of color ) in mind, either individually or collectively. There are innumerable instances of brutal deaths in Africa year after year ,but hardly any rebellion voice from the African -American is raised to protest; even most popular talk-show mogul also remained deaf and dumb.
But here centering any instance, noises turn from mole to mountain easily for the advantage of elaborate freedom of speech! They are fortunate enough that because once their ancestors came as slaves by destiny, so they are. fortunate to be Americans now by law. It doesn't matter whatever their color of skin says. The truth is that they all share equal rights with the free (white ) Americans whose parents were not brought as slaves.
It is an unwritten principle of politicians that "divide and Rule". This Principe is a tonic or ambrosia in Democratic states where several parties compete with one another and the campaign or game of leg-pulling stays constant. They use the colour of skin, or other racial differences as triumph card for the battle of ballot box. A loyal citizen should not allow himself to be puppet of any party. America is a country of different races, religion and lands. No system is flawless; all roses have thorns. Still compared to any other place in this planet the 'unity in diversity' still persists firmly in US.
