During our school days we have studied in various books and also have heard that from our parents/elders/teachers that India is a country where people live in unity in spite of diversity. But now I ask a question "Does Unity in Diversity exist at all in India?"
Recently a website called http://www.leavebangalore.com/ has proved that unity in diversity doesn't exist. This website opened up a new platform for lenting out our anger and esp. on Becharein Bangalorians. Those who were from outside Karnataka and esp. outside Bangalore condemned the cosmopolitan nature of the city and some even questioned its existence itself!!! The site coordinator concludes by giving 4 points
1. People will complain about everything
2. "Unity In Diversity" doesn't exist.
3. People will say anything when they think they're anonymous.
4. There are a few sane minds but they are overshadowed by the madness of the majority.
People will say anything when they think they're anonymous. But there are few people like Jaya Bacchan who are exception to this rule. These people just go out to the public and speak their mind. This is a serious offence. I mean in Mumbai you can't say that you will speak only in Hindi and you can't say that you are a North Indian! You are also supposed to know Marati! But when in Bangalore for an outsider learning Kannada is like committing a crime. A guy comes to me and proudly says, "...maamu, my house owner spoke to me in Kannada. I knew what exactly he was asking. He wanted his house rent. But still I acted as if I was dumb. That as****e doesn't know that Hindi is the national language and he was supposed to speak to me in Hindi only..." Well first of all thank you for accepting that you are dumb and secondly making me understand that it was a rule to learn Hindi to communicate with the outsiders. I mean all these days I was under the impression that India is a free and fair country and you can speak in whatever language you wanted to. And moreover, when the state and the central govenments are trying to provide basic education to the people, few extra conditions are also put across which makes teaching Hindi mandatory.
But let me tell you all monkeys, in spite of all these issues related to language, unity in diversity does exist in India and is on an all time high now. I mean how else can you explain so many people joining their hands to a reason... a reason to scold Bangalore which is giving them their bread & butter. Even the people who have commented in the website mentioned above and also in several such type of communities in social networking website Orkut.com, have agreed that except for their job they wouldn't care a dime about Bangalore. Well, if they dont have a job will they or wont they care about anything else?? Note the point your honour!!!
People will complain about everything. Didn't the constitution directly or indirectly allow us to do this??? Isn't that the basics of Democracy??? Hmmm.. I think we all have to sit in "Social Science" classes once again!
