RACISM -AUSTRALIAN STYLE

GUWAHATI 15 june,2009

7 TH RACIALIST STRIKE ON INDIANS
DOWN WITH RACISM

For the seventh time, Australian boys struck at the Indian students in Australia,despite the denouncement by the government of Australia.Yesterday,a British MP said that Britain is full of foreigners in reminiscent of Enoch Powell's similar pronouncement.Racism is at work now in several places.World conference in Durban against racism has outlawed racism of any manifestation whatever.

It is true that Indians had swamped the west in terms of lakhs and the middleclass westerners might have felt threatened.In return, India would have provided space for a million whitemen or yellowmen- the Chinese.Americans would not accept CEO position in IIM or IIT or any sector and Indian would make their physical presence unaffordable.How many westerners- the tourists had been done to death in Goa or in Delhi.If we count the numbers, possibly Australia would be put to shame. The Australian and ndian mindset are not much different at least to the victims of racism. The universities, power centres and NGOs have to fight racism alongside the government in the country.

Is there internal racism in India ?
Undoubtedly yes. Assamese girls or boys or the NE students bore the brunt in railways and cities.In New Delhi, cases of rape and physical assault on NE youths and students had been reported thereby placing Australia as insignificant.What could be the plausible reasons. Historically speaking, North East had never been a part of mainland Moghul India or even British India.Assam had been an exception in being a part of British India jsy a shor while ago in history.History had therefore,separated Indians and the North easterners for three millennia only to be united by govt.gazette notification. Indians by choice or by gazetted Indian?The argument that NE becomes a past of political India so suddenly makes no sense.The mindset is not prepared.

To be a little bit specific, the people of Tibeto Burman or Sino-Tibetan origin are still recognised as non-Indians to 99% of Indians and they have to prove 1001 times daily with ID cards and 5 hour long arguments that they are also Indians.Indians never accept these people as Indian except through TV and print media or, ID cards.

This is the prima facie evidence of separate nationalities united by army's guns and governments' gazette notifications.No naturaleness and no spontaneity which is the first and foremost ingredient of nationality.The author himself had encountered innumerable experiences even within the region; sometimes, even for a minor misunderstanding that happens to every one, students of one adjacent college in december,2008 wanted my apology in public for a trifling matter misunderstood event to which to two professors- me and one more are equally and exactly equally involved.Forget about the trivia;even barrister Gandhi with ties and suits had to be kicked out of 1st class compartment by a racist, who is just one out of a million in South Africa.

Manipuri boys who by nature had never submitted to campus dada culture- may be due to absence of casteism in Manipuri society in 3000 years- had been driven out of Punjab, Allahabad, Madras or another 20 cities in the last 3 decades.To be honest enough, the boys might have been deliquent as in their age groups they behaved that way.Reason; Indian boys and girls had never accepted them as their own.

Manipuri terrorists or thugs had killed nearly 300 Manipuris a year for ransom so and so forth; but these are not highlighted by Telegraph,Guwahati.When a hundred Biharis had been killed in Assam, it was big news- we agree it should be and criminals deserve justice.When Telegraph highlights, the unfortunate killing of migrants in Manipur,Telegraph has done the right thing.Kudos.

But sadly, when 300 Manpuris are killed by Manipuri thugs, Telegraph conceals them and sometimes published as 1 cm.newslet in that wonderful paper.Our stand is that killing of 300 souls and another 5 or 100 deserve equal page 1 headline space and condemnation; we do that and Telegraph run by probably a covet fascist lack the courage to do so.Telegraph is not alone.

Selective justicing by the media is no better that selective injusticing.Telegragh might have expected a backlash and a communal riot; but it shall never happen.

Racism is to be fought in the mind of the racist first and crushed like fascism that papers like Telegraph secretly nurtures.1 year collecton would prove that.Down with racism- white or brown or golden.We are onein the struggle.
