An Idea can change your life!

It was last week that, my eyes stuck on these hoardings that were placed all over the city, quoting “main Nagpur ki hoon Mumbai ki nahhi” and so on…Later I realized that this buzz was not only in my mind but on a whole was the actual talk of the town. The very first impression that I got with this was the establishment of a new anti regional party, and probably this was the new sophisticated way to convey their message, which was giving a direct clash to the thoughts of some local political leaders. With more of awareness, education, standard of living and a sense of understanding about everything, the reason of pace to rip each other is something I am unable to locate. “No space for no one” is a selfish thought provoking in every heart, may that be of a member of a joint family, May that be a member of MNS (Maharashtra Nav Nirmaan Sena) , May that be of people of Muslim or Hindu dominating societies, May that be of people of Orissa or Kashmir.With all these issues of disparity, an Idea of unity showcased by this campaign added a dose of freshness.
Somehow I feel the oneness in our country which is shared under the label “democracy”, is more fragmented from inside with cities, states & regional divisions.
I still remember those videos on Doordarshan that I use to see as a kid, with the theme of happiness about this unity of diversity application of our nation. Which has dipped with the time, seeing the issues happening around us!

Being ‘Hindi’, Hindustan’s national language, I have experienced how the students feel alien about the people who use it, how the shop’s name in Mumbai have to be compulsory in bold font in Marathi. With so many complications in a multi lingual secular democratic country, can’t we make things easier by just a label of being “Indians?”
It’s high time to say it yourself rather than just saying. I am an Indian.
