I have not lived long enough to provide wisdom to young and old. They say, change is the only thing constant thing and yes, I have seen lot of changes in my 26 years of age. Technology, society, rules, prejudices, sadism, fascism, sarcasm, fashion, tyranny,etc. are constantly changing here and there. There are few things I have experienced which have not changed across the period of time while few thoughts and actions have increased over these time. May be I am growing older, maturing, getting hands on experience to know the norms of the society better. This in turn has prompted me to write this piece.
There are many good things and yes they out number the negatives of my society and I am very much thankful to my almighty Allah for those which I consider gifts. I praise HIM for the things he gave to me. But here I am just pointing out few things not because I am pessimistic, not because I do not have Tawakkul (trusting Allah's plan) but only because I feel something. I feel because I am a human, I feel because someone else in other part of the country or the world are being oppressed, discriminated, humiliated, insulted or questioned.
I have never felt outlawed. Not before, not now. But I kind of feel sad for those people who falls under the category of the verbs that I mentioned in the previous paragraph. Shouldn't I voice my opinion now. Do I need to raise my voice only when I am at the receiving end. Quran tells me all of those who believe in the Almighty Allah are brothers by faith. I feel for my those brothers. If humanity exists then I feel for all of them,
- As soon as you get old enough to earn and manage yourself. You are asked to marry. Why not ask the concerned person first
- If you want to marry, even then you are questioned. Why now? Peers and colleagues looks at you with raised eyebrows as if he/she wants to do something wrong
- Results are wanted at each step. Can we not appreciate that person even if he/she tried. Why don't society gives an average person to grow. Why do we have success stories for them and why is it not a normal thing for them. Why are there so many expectations? Why is success required after each step Why don't we give them chances even to fail?
- Why is it difficult to get a registration certificate, work permit, license, taxes, etc. to start a business in India?
- You are woman and immediately you are scrutinised. Everyone prejudices. Why working so hard? Why covering yourself up? Time for marriage is up. Of all the jobs, home maker is what is considered as less meaningful
- In sports people starts questioning the ability and credibility with the stroke of one bad day in the field. Until the day you are winning, you were fine, the moment you lose, eyebrows are raised about commitment
- We Indians are best in mis-treating our heroes. Saina's commitment is questioned, Sania's patriotism is raised every now and then. Dhoni's fitness, form are brought to the table every day even though he has brought loads of trophies in his 11 years of career and still planning to bring more
- You are an engineer and everyone thinks you can repair the fans and washing machine. You earn more than 1 lakhs per month and live a lavish lifestyle
- You are a Muslim and everyone question your patriotism. You are asked to go to Pakistan every now and then. you are asked to remain silent and be quite because you are a minority here. You are lynched for eating beef. I am not sure if these kind of hatred are brewing in majority of people or not or is it just few irrational bigots led by sadistic politicians?
- Dalit man dies while entering temple, why is there no news of any action taken?
I leave this with a thought in your mind. Ask yourself a question, "Don't you want peace and respect prevail in the society." For that we need to be tolerable and have patience. We can at least give it a try.

- Dalit man dies while entering temple, why is there no news of any action taken?
- Honest officials are getting killed. These news prop up almost every month. Why is there no news of action taken against those mafias and goons? Have we elected incompetent, incapable Netas?
- Why does justice takes so much time in India? Why was hanging Kasab took so many years even though we had so many proofs against him? Why is it taking so much time against Babu Bajrangi, Maya Kodnani, Sakshi Maharaj and people of similar stature to provide justice to the oppressed? Why is the people of India judiciously indiscriminate people of its own?
- Why is intolerance increasing in India?
