Caste, Chaos, and Callous Indifference Of Urine and Anarchy: Horrors and Hesitations in Humanity.

In the depths of our shared humanity, lies a darkness that taints our souls with hatred and prejudice. It is a darkness that has seeped into the very fabric of our society, leading to unspeakable atrocities and the erosion of human dignity. Three incidents, from the very heart of the present year, 2023 which is only halfway gone, serve as grim reminders of the deep-rooted malice that still festers within us.

A Dalit man, beaten and thrashed, humiliated further as those who attacked him disgracefully urinated on his battered form. A woman of lower caste, subjected to the most vile and degrading acts imaginable, made to rally naked by a group of men who felt superior simply due to the accident of their birth. And a man from a tribal caste, subjected to the ultimate indignity of having another man of higher caste urinate on his face.

It is difficult to fathom the basis of such hatred and cruelty. How can one develop such an innate contempt for another human being simply because they look and live differently? How can we, as a society, allow such immediate reactions of violence and degradation to define our interactions?

These incidents are not isolated tales from a bygone era; they are harrowing realities of our present time.

In a world that prides itself on progress and enlightenment, we are forced to confront the disturbing truth that bigotry and discrimination continue to cast their long shadow over our lives.

And yet, as we reel from the horror of these incidents, there is a deafening silence from those who hold power. Manipur, a state engulfed in flames for the past three months, is a stark testament to this apathy. More than 200 lives lost, infrastructure in ruins, and an entire community trapped in the throes of anarchy. And what response do we receive from the ruling government? A disturbing silence that speaks volumes about their priorities.

While the ruling government finds time to organize meetings and discussions on election strategy with 37 other parties and ED Raids on Opposition, they seem to have no time or urgency to address the crisis in Manipur.

Is this what governance has come to? Are the lives and dignity of millions of people mere pawns in a political game, to be sacrificed at the altar of power and ambition?

Is the government of Manipur facing threats from the governor, or perhaps afraid of facing scrutiny as much as non-BJP ruled states? No.

The silence is deafening, and the implications are damning.

The government's voice seems to echo with callous indifference, saying, "Let us wait until all the planning and strategizing is done, then we shall see what is happening in Manipur." But what about the lives lost, the dignity shattered, and the suffering endured on a daily basis? Is that not worthy of immediate concern and action?

It is disheartening to witness the priorities of those in power.

Millions suffer, but millions are also spent on ED raids and election planning. The irony is cruel, and the contrast is stark.

It raises questions about the true intentions and motivations of those who claim to govern for the greater good.

As a society, we must confront this darkness within us.

We must question the apathy and complacency that allows such atrocities to persist.

We must demand accountability and empathy from those who hold power, for they are the custodians of our collective future.

Let us not be blinded by our own comforts and privilege, but let us be moved by the empathy and compassion that lies at the core of our humanity. Only then can we hope to rise above the darkness, to build a world where dignity and respect are not mere ideals but tangible realities for all. For it is only through our collective efforts that we can overcome the evils that plague us and pave the way towards a brighter and more compassionate future.
