By the way, another little point of hope and optimism to hold onto is that on the point of international law and Israel's flouting of it, a lot of people are justifiably, and with great frustration, asking "what's the point of it if it doesn't apply now?" Well, based on the US' own abrupt about face we can see that it Does matter, and the reason why is good news. See, the truth of the matter is that those of you who aren't fellow Geopolitics Heads might not realize this, and take it as axiomatic that the US is still The Global Hegemon that does as it pleases on the world stage, but increasingly, especially in these past 5 years in particular, that whole reality has been beginning to fall apart.

The truth is, in spite of the scam that is orthodox development economics, little by little, the third world has in fact been rising up to the level with the parasite nations of the West. What this means is that more and more Brazil matters. Indonesia matters. China matters. India matters. Nigeria matters. South Africa matters. Iran matters. So many other countries matter. Not in some abstract moral sense, but in the sense that they are increasingly powerful, and increasingly independent global powers in a world order that is just beginning to take shape before our very eyes.

People forget, but at the height of its power, when the 3rd world was much weaker, the US used to make a big show of meticulously following international law in light of day and equally meticulously covering it up when they violated it, but as imperial collapse continues apace, the same decisionmaking positions are occupied by zealots who are unwilling to operate with the same care as their predecessors, arrogantly believing that the US can do whatever it wants to the rest of the world, even though increasingly, and I can't stress this enough, it cannot.

So while defeat is of course waiting for the Zionist Enemy as well, the US's full-throated support of its vicious attacks on Palestinian civilians has utterly eviscerated any remaining credibility as a fundamentally benign power the US may have had remaining just about anywhere after the Iraq war. Imperialist parasites flock together and they crash and burn together.

Point being, the days in which these ghouls can even appear to "get away with" this kind of barbarity on the global stage are numbered, and they will be over Far sooner than many of you may think. So keep fighting, keep preparing for your own fight when the US begins to collapse in earnest as well, but also take heart. Be ready to celebrate when the colonial regimes are defeated and the fascist international is extirpated, for that day will come without fail.

Do you guys know what was the biggest surrender of our history after world war two?

It was the surrender of Pakistani military against Bangladeshi

On 16 December 1971.

But today I didn't grab your attention only to give you some random history facts.

We Bangladeshi students need your help! So please read this article till the end

After the partition of the Indian region in 1947, two independent nations were born.One India and one Pakistan.

The country of Pakistan was divided into two parts, East Pakistan, currently Bangladesh and West Pakistan, currently Pakistan.

But the distance between the two regions was thousands of kilometers. So uniting them into one singular nation was definitely foolish.

To think that the partition actually happened because of religion is laughable on itself but this is a topic of debate for another blog.

Even though we got our freedom from the British empire the people of East Pakistan kept on getting exploited by the west pakistan government.

Note, from now on I will refer to East Pakistan only as Bangladesh because the way we were exploited by our own so called government which only resided on the west pakistan and left us on poverty clearly indicates they never saw us as their own people.

Pakistan didn't only exploit us politically and financially, but they also tried to take away our unique Bengali identity from us.

They banned our traditional Bengali festivals like Noboborso (which is Bengali new year) They tried to ban Rabindra sangeet in fact, they even tried to replace our Bengali alphabet with the Urdu alphabet.

People were already protesting against it and were participating in every traditional festival

But the elastic snapped when they tried to take away our mother tongue, Bangla

When a pakistani politician made the announcement that "Urdu and only Urdu will be the only national language of Pakistan" in Dhaka university's convocation, it was the students who roared in disapproval.

In 1952, breaking the curfew, students and common people went on a protest for our mother language Bangla.

The police started to shoot them and the soil of Bangladesh became stained with blood and Bangla became the only language for people had given up their lives.

That's why we celebrate "Sahid dibos" and "international mother language day" on 21st February.

Throughout the fight for our existence, freedom and culture, students of our nation had always played a crucial role.

They also made a student's political party "Chatro league"

After the election of 1970, when the Pakistani government didn't agree to give power to the Bangladeshi political party "Awami league" our students again started to organize protests and other activities

Finally "Awami league" ordered for a mass protest. 2nd march Dhaka and 3rd march the whole Bangladesh was shut down.

On 2nd march 11 am "Chatro league" students hoisted the flag of Bangladesh in Dhaka university.

All this information dump was for you all to understand how the students of Bangladesh had always played a crucial part in our liberation.

Our students have always been fierce and had stood up for injustice even if they had to sacrifice their life for it.

And right now history is repeating itself!!!

Again students are getting attacked because of their protests but this time, it was our so-called "chatro league" and the government who are doing this inhumane act.

They are beating the students with rods, throwing bricks at them and even police are shooting them.

Only because we wanted the quota policy to demolish. Only because we wanted equal opportunity for civil jobs.

On 25th march 1971, the Pakistani military committed genocide in Dhaka. They attacked sleeping students in Dhaka university and protesters on roads who were still protesting at night.

And now the same thing is happening, history is repeating itself.

Students of public universities are getting attacked in their own dorm rooms, they are getting beaten to death by the so-called "chatro league" members. There are screenshots of the chatro league leaders group chats flothing around the internet where they command the other members to stab the protester students.

There was a time when Chatro league claimed they always stood up when our mother and sisters needed protection

And now those same people are beating up those same sisters they vowed to protect

The police are shooting the protesters like they did in 1952 language movement

The only difference is in the past we were oppressed by another nation's government

But this time it's our own people who are causing our student's blood to stain our roads.

Please do not ignore us. Reblog this post or use the hastag #savebangladeshistudents to create awareness

So here's the thing about refusing to celebrate important achievements unless the person or people who achieved them is flawless by modern standards:

No one is flawless, by any standards. Everyone, even the least "problematic" people, have done bad things. MLK had multiple affairs and may have watched his friend rape a woman. Ghandi was a sex addict who abandoned his dying father to have sex. Einstein had an affair with his cousin and treated his wife so badly she had a mental breakdown. Does that mean we need to stop celebrating MLK day? Is the entire civil rights movement so tainted that we should just undo everything it accomplished? Should we stop teaching general relativity in schools? Should we start a movement to give India back to the British?

Modern standards for purity change constantly. 10 years ago everything JK Rowling has ever said about trans people would have been mainstream feminist thought. Anyone disagreeing would have been a misogynist. 10 years ago calling a black person "black" instead of "African-American" was offensive. 7 years ago questioning the outcome of an election was a patriotic duty. What is and isn't acceptable, or politically correct, changes all the time. It's impossible to hold anyone alive today to those ever-changing standards, let alone people who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago and were held to very different standards.

The people who are held to these impossibly standards, both now and throughout history, are only held to those standards because modern leftists want to destroy their accomplishments. Just look at Joe Biden. If the standards of #MeToo were applied evenly, he should have been thrown off the Democrat ticket. The internet should have been flooded with articles and posts demanding he back out. Instead, those articles and posts demonized his accuser literally weeks after pushing "believe all women". If the standards for racism were applied evenly, there are a bunch of black comedian and celebrities who would have lost their jobs and been blacklisted from Hollywood for the things they said about white people. Brie Larson would have been fired from being Captain Marvel for saying her movie wasn't for straight white men. If the people inventing these standards aren't going to apply them evenly, then why should we ever adapt those standards for anyone? Ourselves or historical figures?

There's nothing wrong with celebrating, or at least acknowledging, the accomplishments of flawed people. Yes, MLK was a serial cheater. He was also instrumental in righting an injustice that had been allowed to flourish for way too long. Winston Churchill was a racist. He was also instrumental in defeating Hitler. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. He also wrote the Declaration of Independence. It's not wrong to acknowledge the flaws of flawed human beings. In many cases, those flaws just make the person in question more fascinating, because it shows that good and evil can exist in literally anyone. That's something that should never be forgotten. What is wrong, though, is using those flaws as an excuse to try and destroy or hide those accomplishments. To pretend that those accomplishments are tainted because of the same human imperfection we all have. That's wrong. And it will lead to greater evil than celebrating a serial cheater's civil rights victories or a slave owners fight for freedom.

India and Independence- Part 1

Tomorrow, 15th of August, is when India celebrates her 77th Independence day and I'd like to rant on everything that should be brought in spotlight. Here we go:

Religion and its role in today's India: I expect we all know what's the current state of religion is in India. It has became no more than a political tool to gain votes. Nothing more. People kill, torture, rape, exploit in the name of religion. The united front this country once presented in the face of the colonisers has long been collapsed. People of different faith find themselves questioning their safety and rights in our country. Have we all forgotten? That in the struggle of independence, we didn't see eachother as hindu, muslims or Sikh, we were just Indians. That during the Jallian wala bagh shootings, the Britishers didn't discriminate between Hindus and muslims, they open fired at all. So why today we point fingers at eachother? Why does extremist parties still thrive in this country who spread religious hatred and entice communal violence? They put on a facade that 'blah blah religion is under threat' and naively everyone agrees. The higher ups plays with the religious beliefs so that they can remain in that position of power. We must remind ourselves this independence day that as long as we foster religious hate, we are never going to develop.

Deep rooted patriarchy and it's cruel effects on the women of this country: Oh I can never run out of words when speaking on this topic. Whether you're a man who has been told since childhood that "boys don't cry" or a woman who has experienced all the atrocities committed by people around you just because you're a woman. We all have experienced the toxic effects of Patriarchy in our daily lives. The mindset that men are superior, more logical, more capable, owner of the house, women are emotional, weak, should stay at home, lower their voices while talking to men, each and every one of this point mixes the poison of Patriarchy deeper into the rivers of this country. It is so deeply engraved that people don't even bat an eyelash when a husband treats his wife like shit. Domestic abuse is common in India. Violence against women is justified. "Husbands have a right to beat their wives", I heard this from the mouth of my own grandmother 2 days ago. This country got independence 77 years ago, but women don't have any in this country. From the second we step out of their homes, men eye us lecherously, we step into our workplace, the manager gives us a creepy smile, we go to schools and colleges, the principal teaches us "don't dress provocatively." Where are the morals? Rape has became so common that we don't understand how horrific it is. And how do the rapists get punished? Bilkis bano's rapists were bailed out and were felicitated with garlands and bouquets as if they did some great thing for the country. THEY GANG RAPED HER. Nirbhaya's case (Delhi 2012), changed nothing! The convicts were hanged yes, but what did the government do to lessen the chances of another nirbhaya? What did they do to protect the women of our country? Nothing. Prajjwal Revanna, a renowned politician, whose rally our honourable pm😍 himself attended, had raped women and had recorded sex tapes of him doing the act. What was the action taken against him? Nothing. The recent news that cut deeply through the medical community, The kolkata doctor's horrific rape and brutal murder. She had completed her 36 HOUR shift and had dinner with her juniors at 2 am. Then went to rest in the seminar hall. What are they doing to bring justice? Nothing, just false assurances. All this country does is sits back and wait for another Bilkis bano, another nirbhaya, another female doctor. When is this going to change?

I wanted to delve even deeper into the issues but the post is getting too long. So, wait for part 2 ig?

[miraculouslymadsblog]

I don't know how many of you know and how many of you don't like what is going on in India recently but Trigger Warning:

So Last Friday, in Kolkata, a 31 year old resident doctor was murdered and then raped in one of the hospitals called R G Kar. She was on a 36 hour duty, when after mid night she went to the 4th floor seminar room of the hospital to get some sleep and rest, when she was murdered and raped. It is said she was gang raped by 8 or 10 (from amount of semen found in her body) and then mutilated by a hair clip. Her bones were broken, there was blood and bruises and cuts. I can't make you guys understand, how horrific this is. The whole of Kolkata, west Bengal, India is burning in rage for how this innocent woman was killed. The police tried to portray this as suicide and government is also helping. There's been attacks on the hospital to destroy evidences.

India just celebrated independence day yesterday, but how can we even think of celebrating independence in a country where women aren't independent? Where women are not free to feel secure and safe even in their work places? How are we independent? And there are people of social medias who are making a total mockery of this poor girl's faith, like isn't there any humanity left? What kind of monstrous creatures are humans becoming? Why can't we feel safe in our country, in our work places? Why should always feel the fear? Why can't men control their primal instincts? Like aren't you someone's brother or someone's husband or someone's son? Imagine your mother, sister and wife's in their places?

I'm disappointed with this society and its people and with the government, the police and this country. India, this is your 77th year as a independent country, and this is the situation you're currently in. Shame. As a girl, I feel unsafe. Today this happened with this girl, tomorrow it can happen with me or my friend or with someone I know. Remember the nirbhaya case? The dhananjoy case? And other such millions of cases?

Why can't we feel safe in our own country? Why? Where can we feel safe? Our dead bodies aren't even safe nowadays. Because bastards exist who won't even show mercy to dead bodies because they are so driven by their primal instincts to f*ck and cause unimaginable pain to others. Like this is the world where we live, there's no guarantee for anyone's safety.

Start changing, world or be ready to face your own doom, because at this point humans are just becoming monsters.

I'm disappointed with this World. We want Justice

DOCTOR WHO is made to SAVE LIVES. They bundle their day and night and save your lives.

What they get in return? RAPE AND MURDER!

First, one NIRBHAYA , now its ANOTHER NIRBHAYA!

9 August 2024, An on duty doctor at RJ KAR MEDICAL COLLAGE , posted in chest medicine department was RAPED AND MURDERED at her own hospital in the seminar room. She was on duty for 36 hrs and had lunch with her juniors at 2AM. They left to see patients and she took a short nap. Then everything went BOLT FROM BLUE. SHE WAS RAPDED and MURDERED brutally.

Nearly about 10 am in morning, her dead body was found half naked. Authorities tried to mum this case calling it suicide. Why? Who they are saving?

The principal of Rj kar collage resigned without any statement .After two days, he was made principal of another nearly medical collage.

Victims parents were called and they were told that their daughter committed a suicide. Her parents were crumbling, and then they weren't allowed to see their daughter for 3hrs.

Why?

When her father was allowed to see her daughter, his heart was throbbed. He saw something a father can never bear. Her eyes were bleeding, her mouth and her vagina was bleeding. Her legs were at 90 degree angle which means her pelvic girdle was broken. Her collar boned was crushed . Her vagina was filled with a lot semen, about 150g and it clearly declares, it was a GANG RAPE .

This independence, The White apron turned red!

We are free, to get raped!

They are free to rape!

Is this the FREEDOM , INDIA is celebrating?

She was just 31, and was helping and healing society, but in return she was killed and raped.

I have no heart left to write more.

She needs justice!

We want justice!

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED!

Hiya, I was wondering if you might have some insight on some posts I’ve been seeing around Tumblr lately (not sure if you may have seen one or some of them) insinuating Scotland wasn’t colonised, and that we Scots shouldn’t be able to take issue with England’s constant meddling in our affairs as strongly as we do because it’s an alliance Scotland went into willingly back in the day.

I’m not contesting that the historical Scotland formed a pact with England and thereby reaped benefits from their colonialism (plus the benefits from colonialism of Scotland’s own, such as with Nova Scotia). But I’m confused at the implication that Scotland wasn’t itself colonised. In my understanding, England did very much ban the speaking of Gàidhlig, the wearing of tartan/traditional Highland clothing, and other cultural practises when they gained control over Scotland. To this day our own language has been so wiped out to the point where there are only something like 50k native Gàidhlig speakers left? On the whole planet. I get that Scotland entered into that alliance with England willingly, but as far as I know, that was only solidified after the Jacobites (i.e. the resistance to English rule, as I understand it) were defeated. Though if I have my facts mixed up here, hopefully you or someone else can let me know?

In any case, though, I suppose I feel weird by people acting like we who support Scottish independence and the recovery of our language and culture have no right to hold a grudge against the English simply because a bunch of guys who DIDN’T support Scottish independence willing entered into a deal with England several centuries ago. In some of these posts it genuinely feels like the implication is that every single Scot is/was totally on board with losing our culture just to reap imperial wealth, and it makes me feel very gross. I am fiercely anti monarchist, anti colonialism, anti imperialism, and that ferocity comes as much from an understanding of how so many cultures and nations and people suffered under the British yoke, as it does from things like me not being able to speak my own language, amongst other things. That sense of loss doesn’t go away just because the people in charge of Scotland back then agreed to it, at least for me. I don’t feel like a hypocrite for grieving the loss of Scotland’s culture/freedom while also hating England for its role in it, and for hating colonialism in general. And maybe I am wrong in thinking this way, in which case I would appreciate anyone willing to help me understand how and why.

I’m not saying what Scotland suffered is comparable to the atrocities that happened in India, Ireland, Hong Kong, the Caribbean, South Africa, etc. I’m not advocating that we SHOULD be lumped in with them on lists of places most devastated by colonialism. I agree that Scotland is not on the same level. And I have no intentions of absolving Scotland of its own historical colonialism—that happened, and we must own it. But I feel like there should be enough nuance in the situation for us to 1) own up to that colonial past, 2) not compare our history to the likes of India etc, and 3) also be able to mourn the smothering of our own culture and the loss of our language at the hands of the English. To celebrate the Queen’s death, to vie for our independence, so forth, etc. Our history shouldn’t be cherry picked on one side or the other. Scotland participated in colonialism, and also suffered from colonialism. I’m not proud of our history, but I’m proud of my culture. All these things are true and I don’t know why that can be so difficult for people to see, but then this is Tumblr we’re talking about 🤷‍♂️

Anyway you don’t need to have the answer to this yourself, but I felt like I needed to get this out to someone who might understand the angle I’m coming from. I’m sorry this got so long. If I do have facts mixed up or wires crossed, I’d appreciate anyone willing to correct me. I’m saying all this as a white person, too—I don’t pretend to speak for people of colour and diaspora from other colonised regions, or understand their exact experiences. I can only offer my own perspective.

Thanks for reading and thanks for running this blog!! Slàinte mhath!

That is one hefty ask! I haven't seen any of the posts in question - it sounds like I'd partially agree with whoever is saying Scotland isn't a colony (for reasons I'll explain below). I don't agree with all of it though. To be honest, I kinda thought we were done with the conversation but every so often I think there's some folk who like to think that every Scottish independence supporter refutes the idea that Scotland was involved with the empire. (There are some who do - and these people are very wrong)

In this post - I talked about how often people on Tumblr get fundamental aspects of Scotland & The Union wrong. It's frustrating seeing it repeated a lot on here. People get the Union of the Crowns and the Union of the Parliaments mixed up - or think they are the same. Some people avoid mentioning or don't know about the riots that occurred in Scotland after the Act of Union etc etc Personally, I tend to be hesitant to use the word 'colonisation' in regards to Scotland - often because I cringe when some fringe pro-indy people say that Scotland is currently colonised. I also think it's hard because so much wealth entered Scotland through our colonisation of the world and not in the "Well the British Empire built trains in India" angle that some people take to pretend the Empire was good. So yeah, I find it hard to say that Scotland was colonised and there's always a portion of people who say "Well in that case what are we then?" The problem with this is that it was more often that not, Lowland Scots destroying the Highland way of life. And then the conversation tends to devolve into the classic "Well colonisers routinely used populations against one another." Which I agree has happened, but I don't have the academic background in colonial history to articulate properly why it feels wrong to say. What I can talk about, however, is that it's really silly for anyone to be making comparisons between the 1700s and today. Saying things like "Scotland can't complain about Westminster dragging them out of Europe, destroying the economy, austerity etc" is just really silly. I think it's fine to look to history, but sometimes, and particularly on Tumblr, it's done at the expense of the here and now. The most vulnerable people in Scotland right now care about paying for food and heating - telling them they shouldn't be complaining because wealthy upper-class Scots sold Scotland out to a union in 1707 is very odd.

Meghan in the nudes: the First Lady of Nigerias speech and some headlines from mainstream media by u/Mickleborough

Meghan in the nudes: the First Lady of Nigeria’s speech, and some headlines from mainstream media As reported in this sub a couple of days ago, Senator. Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, made a speech on 25 May at the ‘Celebrating the Woman’ event, marking the first year of her husband’s administration.These words set the tone for her speech: ‘The message here is that we have to salvage our children.’She goes on to say: ‘We don’t accept nakedness in our culture.’The Meghan moment - where she alludes to the Meg is below (with my intepretation, based on logic): ’Even they [Nigerian children / girls] are mimicking and trying to emulate film stars from America. They [American film stars] don’t know where they come from. Why did Meghan come here looking for Africa? That is something we have to take home with us. We know who we are, and don’t lose who you are. God bless you.’ [Speech ends.]In my view, the literal interpretation‘s that the First Lady’s citing Meghan as an example of an American film star who doesn’t know where she comes from (her roots, her identity, sense of self - take your pidk). So - no criticism of Meghan’s flashing her flesh on her recent Nigeria visit.However it’s a logical inference, from the First Lady’s speech, that American film stars who don’t know where they come from flaunt their nakedness. And as Meghan‘s American film star in search of her roots, ergo Meghan goes around naked.In any event, Meghan’s nakedness has made the nudes:https://ift.tt/T6Jfr7y Sun (UK), 26 May.The Daily Mail (UK), 27 May.The Hindustan Times (India), 27 May.https://ift.tt/F5Iwei6 New York Post (US), 27 MayPakistan Today (Pakistan), 27 May.https://ift.tt/bAFxMUy Independent (UK), 28 May.India Today (India), 28 May.NDTV (India), 28 May.Scottish Daily Express (UK), 28 May.Sky News (Australia), 28 May.The Telegraph (UK), 28 May.The last word:Attendees at ‘Celebrating the Woman’.https://ift.tt/3iVuhvy and Meghan at ‘Women in Leadership’.Meghan exercising her Second Amendment right. post link: https://ift.tt/FsuSU15 author: Mickleborough submitted: May 29, 2024 at 10:54PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

I don’t want to sound rude but why ship UK and Arg together I thought both countries are on and have historically been on bad terms?

Hello! Your question isn't rude at all, it's the most sensible thing to ask at first glance, actually. It's true that UK and Argentina have historically been on very rocky terms, but their history goes beyond that, I'll elaborate.

First, I've discussed this in the past, three years ago (but bear in mind some of my opinions are outdated there) and you might want to check out this, this and this post if you're interested.

Their multiple frictions and conflicts through history are not a detriment for me shipping them— in fact, it's what makes their relationship more interesting to me. I am fascinated by the ambiguous, on-and-off antagonistic role Arthur has in Agustina's life, and how this has deeply impacted her growth of character.

That is not to say Agustina has the same level of importance and presence in Arthur's life, for she is a mere blink in his immensely eventful international affairs. However, in the context of Britain's involvement with Latin America specifically, Argentina has always been the main interest in the region. This is ironic, because one could easily assume the special place should belong to Brazil, given Britain's relationship with Portugal. But no; Argentina was not only the most prosperous relationship he developed in the region, but also the one that lasted the longest before the inevitable decline of British influence in the continent in favour of US imperialism.

Argentina's place and importance in the British Empire are often compared to that of India, Australia and Canada. She is a special case, for their economic relationship is virtually that of a colonial bond, except Argentina was an independent republic who kept her Spanish Catholic cultural identity and was not forcefully assimilated to the British way of life. It's a bit of a give-and-take situation, and the unequal power struggle fluctuates between moments of resistance and cooperation. Before the Malvinas war, Britain had already invaded Argentina multiple times in the 19th century, and was faced with resistance every time.

—Argentines never became passive, inanimate victims of British domination. (...) Welcoming the British when it suited them, they also devised ways to resist them by protecting their sovereignty.

As you can see, their relationship can't be reduced to hatred. It's a convoluted story that starts with hostility and distrust in the 19th century, but evolves to cooperation and mutual benefit by the end of it. The first half of the 20th they were friends, and Agustina relied on Arthur so much that she ended up developing a distorted infatuation for him.

While the first half of the 20th century was the highest peak of their friendship, it all came to an end by the late 1940s and hostility regarding the Malvinas issue escalated Argentina's well-known hatred for Britain until the short but traumatic war in 1982. To this day, Argentina remains bitter and spiteful of this unresolved issue.

As of real-life history, I do not condone or celebrate Argentina's overly dependent bond on Britain at the peak of British imperialism. I don't mean to romanticise it or see it as anything else than just that— fucking imperialism. But Tina and Arthur are fictional characters, and I am fascinated by the way their interpersonal relationship develops through these issues. They are both deeply flawed individuals who act on self-interest and have their own sentimental baggage and vulnerabilities. And I love that for them 😩👌

I hope I could give you a better insight on my shipping shenanigans, but if you want me to elaborate on anything else you might wonder, you can ask me on my side blog @novantasettefiori which is where I discuss them specifically. Sorry for not shutting the fuck up about them, I am obsessed lol.

World Sparrow Day

World Sparrow Day, observed annually on March 20, is a day to raise awareness of the protection of sparrows. We are particularly excited about this holiday because we just can’t resist the cuteness of these little birds and we know at the end of this article, you will be as excited to join too.

History of World Sparrow Day

World Sparrow Day is an initiative started by the Nature Forever Society of India (founded by Mohammed Dilawar) along with the Eco-Sys Action Foundation of France and many other organizations around the world. Though the holiday carries the name Sparrow, it was mainly created for awareness of Sparrows but also includes the beauty and biodiversity of other common birds that may share the same space as us.

Mohammed Dilawar, a dedicated conservationist, started the campaign to provide special care for house Sparrows in Nashik. The idea to make the campaign official was born during an informal discussion at the office of the Nature Forever Society. Thereafter, the first World Sparrow Day was observed in 2010 all around the world.

It created a platform for bird conservationists to network and exchange ideas to improve conservation. It aims to provide a point of contact for people around the world to come together and create awareness of the necessity for the protection of common biodiversity or species of lower conservation.

Sparrows or house sparrows have been known to live in green patches and backyards chirping away in urban areas though, during the harsh summers, they require cool shades and water. They’ve always been quite common in residential areas but are currently on the verge of extinction due to noise pollution, lack of nesting sites in modern buildings, pesticide usage, and non-availability of food as reported by ornithologists.

The awareness created led to the house sparrow becoming the state bird of  Delhi in 2012.

As the years go by, more people are joining the campaign to conserve these birds as a way of giving back to nature. Some have gone as far as creating bird nests for sparrows and other common, birds in the community.

Accepting Differences

Aruna Roy once said “You can never evaluate anything standing from the outside, you have to evaluate yourself first.” This quote tells us a lot about how we are very superficial about matters of importance going on all around India. Matters that really concern us as a citizen but no one really seems to take action upon. Everyone seems to assume their own perceptions about matters concerning gender, castes and ethnicity. These matters are talked upon and are spoken about in a lot of places but no one has really tried to understand what they mean. Humans at every stage of their life are compared with each other and are judged from different point of views. Men are told to be manly and told to not cry like a woman. Women are told to cover up and act in a certain manner.

Why do we differentiate between man and woman and why don’t we treat them equally? Why men are told to be stronger than woman? Why woman are told to take the blame upon themselves? These are the questions that ponder me sometimes as I look in the newspaper or on a news channel. I’m pretty sure a lot of you would have the same thoughts as well. No matter how much we develop and how much of progress we achieve, if what is there on the inside can’t be changed then we have not moved a step ahead at all. Gender biases can be overcome by making people aware of their own biases and try to recognize how these views are affecting their lives. By breaking the gender stereotypes that is to allow all members of society the freedom to choose the roles most suited to them. By analysis to find gender balance. The only way we will create meaningful change is to create systems designed to eliminate bias.

Another important topic of discussion is caste biases. India is a secular country. It is known to have vivid cultures and beautiful traditions. But there are a lot of people who still believe in the age old caste system and treat people the way they want. They believe the hierarchical system of grouping of individuals, the Hindus are divide into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Brahmins are the priests or teachers, Kshatriyas are warriors and rulers, Vaishyas are framers, traders and merchants and lastly Shudras are laborers and are untouchables. This system was followed long before we knew anything about the world. The Brahmins were superiors and the Shudras were outcasts.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948). But 260 million worldwide continue to suffer from caste discrimination. In India the body of legislation meant to protect Dalit’s and improve their situation is extensive. But political will to ensure implementation is lacking and discrimination from village level up to government level continues unabated. Caste discrimination and the human rights violations that inevitably follow can only be avoided if decision makers at all levels decide to take action. Dr. Ambedkar, “Turn in any direction you like, caste is the monster that crosses your path. You cannot have political reform, you cannot have economic reform, unless you kill this monster.” We all can be free from this monster if we stop looking at people according to their castes and treat them equally as human beings. Our nation would be merrier if we ignored the differences and understood humanity.

Ethnicity is a group of people who identify with each other, usually on the basis of presumed similarities such as a common language, ancestry, history, society, culture and nation. India has more than two thousand ethnic groups. As a kid in school we have always been taught that there is “Unity in diversity." We all have different religions, believes and we live in different states of the country India, but all of us are together Indians as a whole. We celebrate Independence Day every year on the 15th of August and feel proud to be an Indian. But there are sometimes we start fighting on the basis of religions and cultures. The most recent one has been the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. For about 300 years Hindus and Muslims have been fighting over the authority of the piece of land in Ayodhya. Very recently the construction of the temple has been finalized.

We as citizens of India can take a step forward to put aside our differences and look at each other with equal value, only then can we achieve to be the greatest. Though Britishers are long gone but the prejudices that prevail inside of us are making us fall far behind the time.
