The thought that perhaps my soul has finally drowned in the
present need for more, walked across me today. It was during this confrontation
that I managed to get a few glimpses of satyamev jayate anchored by Aamir Khan.I
Hoping to get the much needed kick in the conscious. Nothing touches your heart
except sincerity and that was exactly what was missing from the whole show of
fake emotion. With glycerin tears and non existing concern plastered on his
face, the question of the hour was lost in the world famous Indian empathy.
What needs to change is this empathy, its today that we live in, yet the
feeling of subordination that made us slaves of a foreign power for more than a
century still rides with us. Recognizing the power within when the damage is
done is what we have always done, we fought for our independence when we had
already been bled dry and today we fight for our bare existence. We need to
wake up and recognize the power we have today, as a democracy and a country
which is climbing the ladder from being a third world country and us as citizens
of such a power. Female infanticide. Dowry death, emancipation, sexual, financial,
emotional abuse we have lived and survived all this and more. In this 21st
century where the press holds to ransom everybody from the politician to the
chaatwala, we need to wake up to our worth as an individual. That is the fight
we need to fight today to be able to recognize the truth in ourselves and in
our situation and have the will and the strength to stand up to the truth. We
need to free ourselves from the shackles of insecurity that make us weak,
scared, selfish and empathetic human beings. We need to fight not just for an existence
but for a better quality of existence. We need to not only recognize and accept
the fact that only truth prevails but also have the strength to pursue it then
only hum sachai se keh payenge satyamev jayate !
