What actually made me write about Racism


Even though people teased us ,in the  past, we never bothered thinking the best way is to ignore them as it was ignorable. But now I have  been this  has become intolarable  as it started in my office  as well, a person sitting very close to my work station is a die hard racist. I had to face  racial comments from Sunnie (name changed) almost on a daily basis. When  ever  I used to speak to my collegues, he  would  make it a point to come  and whisper something in their ears disturbing the entire conversation. One fine day to my, utmost surprise and  this extreme frustration he wrote  that he hate all the chingkis of the floor. It was a liesure hour  when  our Team Leader asked us  to write few lines about our college as a part of a game. He does'nt bother to even pass on slangs on us. It doesn't surprise me  any more   the reason because, 'charity begins at home" he is showen his own background, the kind of culture he belongs  to and ,,,, perhaps I might be  wrong , but an extent his family background as well and  the  kind of educational background he  might have  had. I'm not talking out my frustration on him  by saying this, I JUST PITTY HIM. He cannot be  a true Indian, the reason because India is a country of "UNITY IN DIREVSITY", which is inculcated in every Indian right in the school and this poor fellow perphas has never been  to a school of that standard hence  he is not aware of.

At times I even thought of leaving the job and  go back to my native  place and but my other collogues, friends and  well wishers comforted me  and  hence  I'm still here.

  1. These days the press is abuzz with news of racism in Australia...Indians attacked in Sydney et al. But take a closer look....these are all NORTH INDIANS being beaten up.We do not see a 'Chinki'or a Tamil beaten up.These are all NORTH INDIANS and they deserve a thorough beating for what they are.These are the very people whom the British termed INDIAN DOGS.And street dogs they are.Australians are not racist,they are good and decent people and they are a multicultural society.They beat up these dogs only because its illegal to shoot.
