I don't think we are a tolerant nation, we are an adjusting nation.
We do not tolerate our country, we adjust to it. We do not appreciate the country, we adjust to it.
How is it?
Do we accept our women? Do we tolerate their boldness?
No, we adjust with quota,reservation, block seats in the bus where they can sit, make compartments in trains where they can stand with some or little dignity.
Do we tolerate the so called under privileged to education and jobs?
No we don't. We create reservation and seats in schools and colleges for them to sit alongside their country men.
Do we tolerate dissent?
No we do not. We slap sedition charges, we say these laureates return their awards as they do not know the value of it.
Do we tolerate our children to let them lead a normal happy school life?
No, we don't
We at large are a nation of adjustment and in tolerance. In the name of adjustment we tolerate the nation with our democracy and reservations.
How are we then a tolerant nation?
Shouldn't we remove the caste bias?
Shouldn't we then abolish the reservation quota?
Shouldn't we remove exclusive compartments for the women where they can be equally respected by men?
Shouldn't we be a nation to respect our society irrespective of his/her sexual preferences?
It is not the government or the bureaucracy to blame, it is we the people who give them power with our adjusting tolerance and we give them the opportunity to be blatant.
We will fail to be a tolerant nation until we have such wide biases available to adjust with tolerance.
