HINDI

         Bengalis are going extinct under the weight of Hindi(not Hindu, read properly) and no one is even caring. "You are a Bengali? Speak in Hindi."

"You completed your education in English? Speak in Hindi."

"Oh! You are an Adivasi? I am going to beat you to Hindi."

"Shhh! That's a Tamilian. Let us hide from him the fact, that Tamil is older than Sanskrit, so that he can be subdued by us."

         They say that Hindi is the identity of India. A culture, which has time and again, taught that language doesn't matter as long as your conscience is alive, is being called a Hindi-culture.

       Remember Sant Eknath of Maharashtra? Dude! Even his son, Hari Pandit, went against him for teaching the Puranas in Marathi. Even then, they judged against non-Sanskrit speakers. But what happened? Eknath turned out to be equal to a thousand brahmans.

        Today too, when most "Hindi-protectors" can't speak Sanskrit themselves, they are making Hindi (a so-called descendent of Sanskrit) their language of destruction. You may say that all these are political strategies for parties. Well, then why did I get called "Angrez" and "Anti-national" on using some English words during the casual conversation I was having?

        Hindi-speakers chide you for using "Chaddo" if you are not Punjabi. But they force Hindi upon people from other language backgrounds. They make fun of Bengali speakers. They are disgusted by the Dravidian languages. North-Eastern languages are Chinese to them. And if you don't speak in Hindi, you are not Indian. Yes, a 2-century old language is the language of a million years old civilization.

        Sorry to hurt you, dear and not dear Hindi-lovers, but you ain't doing any good job by speaking in Hindi. Bihar has already lost its linguistic identity because of Hindi being forced upon them. Bhojpuri and Maithili used to have their own scripts, but they are brushed aside as being just dialects of Hindi. They even say Rajasthani is a dialect of Hindi and that Hanuman Chalisa is in Hindi.(Apparently, even Awadhi, which is older than Hindi, is now a dialect of Hindi.) Save Bihar, Rajasthan and the rest of India from the attack of Hindi. Say no to Hindi and Save India.

Edit #1:

           Wanted to add some lines by Rabindranath Tagore on Hindi, “Whatever the national convenience of a language that can facilitate inter-cultural communication in our country, it remains a mere convenience and cannot replace the value of one’s native tongue as a vehicle of intimate self-expression.

            I have in my institution at Santiniketan provision for the teaching of Hindi as well as Urdu."

Edit #2:

Also, India is the fastest language-losing nation on earth. The UNESCO lists 197 Indian languages as endangered or vulnerable, more than any other country. According to the PLS, we have lost 50 languages in the past five decades. That means murdering of an entire Indian culture just because the people in power were from Hindi-background!

The Breaking of India!

Anha, a Muslim girl of standard three, got teased by her friends, she used to play with once, for being a Muslim, amidst CAA protests. 

In case, you think this is made up, let me tell you, the characters mentioned above, are not characters at all. Completely based on real life.

 

But she is just in class 3. In just a decade, she would forget this small incident. As then India would be burning and there would be blood and dead bodies everywhere.

I have a few friends(Oh! Hindu friends), who had been warning me that the present government wants to establish a Hindu Rashtra. I, being a Kattar Hindu, know that my religion has nothing to do with any politics of any sort. But people follow Lord Ram less and Modi-Shah more. And so, I ignored my friends warnings too.

People think that they live in Lord Ram's Bharat or Prithvi Raj Chauhan's Bharat and they won't let Babur stay here. What they don't remember is that they are actually living in the India of SavitriBai Phule-Dalit, Subhas Chandra Bose-Secular, Bhagat Singh-Atheist, Rani LaxmiBai-Hindu, Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan-Muslim.

I am sorry, dear friends, that I failed you. I'm sorry that I am not in politics or Civil Services and so, probably can't make any difference in the present scenario. I am just a civillian who hopes and prays for the best. Protest? You mean the protests where the sellers of nation call you "anti-national" and "pros***"?

Let me share a funny point. All who are now condemning protests as it turned violent, don't realize the impending violence and bloodshed if Our Great Nation Continues on this path. Check 1947 partition history, if you don't trust me.

And so, Dear India, I end this piece from my heart, saying I am sorry, my Motherland, for I am just a peaceful child of yours who failed to save the other children.

Why I shall never be successful.

Perks of being a middle-class brown girl, that too sensitive.

I shall never be successful. I can never become an entrepreneur, an actor, an architect, a brand ambassador or even an engineer or a doctor. I am a middle class Indian girl with highly educated, but conservative parents. Oh! And not to forget, hypocrites as well.

All I can ever be is a bank officer because that is "safe for girls".

To be successful, there are a few requirements. Firstly, you need to expand your horizon. But good sanskari girls must not stay away from home except for studies and must study only some general graduation course in a local college.

Secondly, to be successful, one needs to invest time in themselves. Four hours college, fours part-time job, two hours into daily chores, seven hours sleep, two hours homework, two hours family taunts("Doesn't help at a single task."), one hour of crying, one hour of putting yourself back together, two hours of "Beta! Just do this one thing for me.". Oh! That's twenty-five hours, but you get the point.

Third way to get successful or rich is to do investments.  The Rs.1500 of my part-time job pays for my college stationery, my internet pack and small perks to abate my depression waves.

So, here comes point number four.
MENTAL STATE
"There is nothing like depression. You are doing it purposely to get attention. You are doing it to trouble us." Like yes! I tried to suicide just to get your attention. But I don't blame my parents for their lack of knowledge about depression; my classmates, too, think depression is a game.

Now comes the last blow to a middle-class girl's dreams. We are not allowed to become what we want.
Can't be a doctor; too expensive course. Can't be an engineer; you can never crack JEE(Thanks, dad!). Can't be a professor; who's gonna pay for your masters? And after all this, I don't even dare to ask if I can join the film industry. Haha! Get that?
In short, we can be nothing except a bank officer because that is "safe for girls".

But now, you must be thinking why I don't fight for what I want. If you are really thinking so, you need to grow up and know how the world works. Exceptions are not Examples. There are even times when you ask for a laptop, a second-hand will do and the reply you get is,"Do you really need one?". The "really" changes everything.

Dear parents, a man doesn't REALLY need anything. One can survive on the minimum food, minimum water one gets. One can survive in the woods or the mountains. But surviving is not living. You got to let us live for once.
