MANUSHANA NEE?

We have always limited our perceptions to our culture which itself often changes for every generation. Any man if you take will have a different perspective at each stage of his life which is why he tends to mobilize from one state to another. Just like definitions have been framed by various people for one particular concept in any field, we tend to develop different perspectives at different stages in our life.

We are also moving to another dimension amid this pandemic where everybody has started to rely on the internet by giving it the most significant position for livelihood. Online marketing is skyrocketing and the dealings are made over online as a cause of this worldwide pandemic.

Although we pitch on to new mediums for our livelihood, our perceptions and the beliefs seem to be immobile and it has become difficult to comprehend and adapt to the changes and innovations made in any matter. But beyond that, we are often reminded with the concept called humanity which most of the times we are failing to witness on certain occasions – we still hang over the beliefs, values and stereotypes of our ancestors or our elders and the fellow societal beings who still settle as sediments. The reliability and the connection we share with the mentioned speaks of how we act in the present world.

Earlier, it was not acceptable to give a physically impaired girl a chance to sing in a concert, a woman to pursue any masculine jobs if she aims for, any widow/ widower to remarry, a transgender to be married, a black-skinned guy to be the main role in a movie, a stout women to cast in a lingerie advertisement, a man or a woman to admit his/her sexual orientation and so on.

But why? Or maybe, why not?

If you ask those who were affected by these stereotypes made, I am certain that their experience cannot be easily verbalized. Later came this concept called “Humanity” like a hero. This term has been used and misused by so many people at so many times and has even lifted a lot of people.

This concept has even triggered people to go easy with something called the death penalty that exhibits that no life is to be put under trouble or harm or any sort of violence, be it physical, verbal or mental. Even if you have any designated position behind your name, you are said to cling on with something called humanity. But is that the state everywhere even in well-performing countries or nations?

The answer is a big NO.

The protests for George Floyd have still not settled with some ongoing hashtag protests over online and again, once again we witness a similar incident where a Brazilian cop was found standing over a black woman’s neck today as reported by Daily Mail. And what was the punishment? Suspension, which I guess will work under the terms of “humanity” for the inhumane act by the cops.

 

THERE ARE ALREADY ENOUGH HASHTAGS, AND NOW THIS HASHTAG WILL BE CIRCULATED AS USUAL.

ALRIGHT, WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE?
