Racism against North Eastern Indians during COVID-19

-


The reason people across the globe love India is because of its religious and biological diversity. Here are some facts, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, India is home to 9 major recognized religions and the people here speak more than 22 different languages. This cannot be seen in any country out there, this and many more different factors make India whole as a country and we all are proud of our country.


We together as people of India have survived and come across so many problems in past years. We have been fighting wars against rape, equal respect for men and women, homosexual marriages, and many more. When times are hard, and actions are needed we unite and stand together and fight the battles for our people. The opponent at this moment is the pandemic known as COVID-19 and one cannot deny that it is the toughest of them all. But this time I have seen that we are not properly fighting this fight as one country. We all know that the origin of this coronavirus is China and it has spread from China all around the globe. In the North-Eastern part of our country there live people whose facial features are somewhat similar to those of the people of China but these people are also as much of an Indian as we all are, there is no denying that. A huge majority of these people have migrated from their hometowns to huge cities like Mumbai, Delhi, etc. to find employment so that they can take care of their loved ones in their village because there are no employment resources in their region. I’ve been hearing news all around the news channels that these people just because they look somewhat like the people of China they have been harassed and bullied for being the reason for this coronavirus spread, which is down to the last breath very inhuman and has no moral. Is this the right way to treat them? Ooh! wait I should rephrase is it right to treat any individual like that even if he/she was from China?  Our real enemy our real fight is against this coronavirus and not amongst us and guess what the virus has won until this moment. Most of the harassed people kept quiet and didn’t fight back but some did and I’m grateful that they did, as a result, this major problem became highlighted, and as it is highlighted it can be addressed and awareness can be spread.
Racism is a crime against humanity whether it be against color, caste, sex or any other reason. Until our country does not come across these small internal issues amongst us, unfortunately, India cannot be called a great nation, no matter how many satellites we send into space or how many engineers we have in Nasa.

Journey Through Time

  I don’t know who am I, or what am I? Am I a ghost, a memory, or a dream of someone? But what I know for sure is that I’m out of this time. I may be a few thousand years old but I’m free now. Free from all the sorrows and all the sufferings of the world. I have lived more than 100 lives in different forms and across different places in the world. They say when a person dies he/she either goes to heaven or to hell, depending on their sins or their goodwill. I got to tell you it’s not that simple. One more thing you need to know about what happens after you die is that you can go through and revisit all your lives. You can go through your life within seconds, all your memories and experiences. I remember the first time I encountered a near-death experience. I was born in a small village in ancient Egypt, my family was very poor and we belonged to the lower caste or the slaves. Let me just scroll through time once again. Just a minute, found it! My name is Muhammad.   I am a small skinny

  This article is for the ones who care about our planet’s future or at least care about their next generation’s life. So if you are not that person I’d suggest don’t waste your precious few minutes reading this article. Now if you are the first person the following facts are definitely going to blow your mind away. Did you know where your old fashioned or so-called donated clothes go? Through this article, I shall take you through a journey of a cloth. Everyone loves dressing up and go shopping for clothes once in a while. We just need an occasion to go shopping whether it be Diwali, Dussehra, Christmas or your birthday for that matter. The point is, clothing is our basic necessity and we’ve just made it our luxury. People have more clothes than they actually need, closets filled with useless clothes. And when these useless clothes come out of the closet to get dumped away, 57% of these end up in a landfill. You would be surprised to know that 35% of the materials right in the supply

Unheard Theory about “The Human Existence”

             There’s a famous saying by a German Philosopher called Arthur Schopenhauer, he said that “A person can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills”. In this thought he’s trying to question the existence of free will of any individual, we think that we have free will and we can do what we want, but that might not be the case he says. This quote was also used in Netflix’s one of the most highly rated TV Series “Dark”. Because I found this thought so intriguing, through this article I’ll try to convince you the same.  There’s no argument about the technological advancement we have achieved in less than a few decades in the fields of gaming as well as simulation. About 40 years ago in the name of a game we just had “Pong”, which was basically two rectangular boxes and a dot, the rectangular boxes moving vertically passing the dot. But today with the help of computing technology using VR & AR we are able to create our own small virtual realities in video games and m
