Discriminated...
I thought of scribing a serious subject, after a long time. This time its the discriminations in the society. India is one country which has a good reservation scheme in place for those who face discriminations. But is it actually helping who wants it or is it oppressing a clan of people who deserve it more? I am not mentioning about any religion or caste or any such man made barriers.
The actual barrier separating the people is -
1. Money
2. Mentality
There is always rich and poor, as Earth is no Utopia. But many-a-times, may be, living in a middle class, I have seen that the people are more frustrated than oppressed by the money.
All these thoughts came to me one day, when I visited my usual Kerala mess where I have my lunch. For a change I decided to go in my car, so that I can move to my office from there directly. Bangalore is quite popular for its parking problems. But luckily I was able to find an open space to park. Between my lunch, some local residents came to the mess and asked whose car is parked improperly. The hotelier said there is no one here having a car. I said it is mine and I apologized for it and said I'll move it as my lunch is almost over. They went off saying 'OK'.
Feeling bad, I left my lunch half way through, and went back to the car. There were again few more local residents near the car, as if they were at a crime scene . One of the youngest in the group started shouting at me. I can only understand native language and not speak it. He was telling me that I have parked it improperly, it is their place and all. But it was an open space, near to the mess and I happened to realize that there was a small slum like dwelling in the back of the mess. I apologized again. Hearing me telling sorry, he started shouting angrily again, as if I had asked him to "**** off" (sorry for being so expressive). I did not intend to fight again. I silently took my car and drove off.
Who is the oppressed here? Who is being discriminated here? And did I do a true crime, which can't be forgiven, even if apologized?
