We have been hearing and knowing the term ‘racism’ at some point in our life. But the less we knew that the issue would become so serious that it would have a large and uneven impact on the peace and harmony of the human race? Yes you heard that right. So lets begin with some of the case studies and the recent incidents on this case.
Recently a man named George floyd was murdered on the streets of America choked by an officer of the Minneapolis police department. This happened in broad day light with a lot of people around shocked. Unfortunately George floyd couldn’t survive but some of his last words were ‘I can’t breathe’. NOW THE MAIN THING GEROGE FLOYD WAS A BLACK MAN AND BLACK LIVES MATTER. The killing of George floyd went online and gained alot of headlines and support from the world, the terms used for the support on social media were, #blacklivesmatter #icantbreathe, Another shocking incident took place when the well known anonymous group returned after 6 years to send a message to the police department regarding the injustice and criminal acts that the department has been involved in. This also caused a lot chaos on the streets of America as the protestors were on the street asking questions which obviously harmed the peace and harmony of the City.
Now coming towards India and how can we justify racism in India. The beauty product ads that go through our screen everyday promote racism, Yes you heard that right. For example if a dark toned guy/girl goes for an interview or say proposes anyone legimately they get rejected as shown in the ads just because of their skin colour, this is where unknowingly racism is being promoted.A number of people experience depression and anxiety due to the fact that their skin colour is dark.
Everyone is unique in their own ways in their own colors in their own potential and skills and lastly each of us are beautiful and wants to seek love and respect and also give it in return.
Racism will only cause chaos,deaths,depression,anxiety,suicidal thoughts among the one who are the victims and lastly racism doesn’t only come with black colour, it is also involved in religion, caste, nationality etc.
