BREAKING THE STEREOTYPES (July)


With the passage of time, human thinking change. During my school and college timing I was surrounded by many people who never believed that India and Pakistan should be together, but now in my new institute, here I learn the realities not by reading by myself alone, but we are taught.  They made us realize that we were never innocent, we were also the reason and we should never forget that a coin has two sides. We are taught that we should realize our mistakes and realities of behind the borders.


During my college times my fellows always told me about "The Bad Side" of India. When I met Esha! I learned that what I heard were just stereotypes!


This is not the reality. We are dragged far away from the love of our friends living across the border. My friends always taunt me that I am a servant of India and I have nothing to do here just because I believe in true friendship and not in the stereotypes that were taught to us during our school life.


Moving on with the realities and defending it was not an easy task but then I met new friends and I came to know that I am not the only one who believes that India and Pakistan can never be separated.


My friends used to call me "BAGHI" for I never trusted a single word that was taught to us during our History lectures and I always asked that what IF we are the reason behind it and what if we played equal part in violence and we were also NOT THE INNOCENT?


Learning the truth is that we should stop believing in the myths, because we are ignorant of realities. Our bonds are stronger than the stereotypes and we should believe in friendships instead of stereotypes.
