Challenges and Call for Unity in Democracy

Today, the biggest democratic country in the world is facing tough times. People are lynching and killing innocent humans without even thinking about what they are doing. Are those who are killing others really human?

Many people in our country have turned to Hinduism and Islam. A few years back, they identified as Indians first. Today, highly educated people have become pawns in political propaganda. Both internal and external politics have ruined our lives. The media and political parties have ridiculed us. Instead of focusing on becoming a developed country, we have been classified as a developing country according to UN statistics. Every political leader is making statements that sow division. The media repeatedly broadcasts such statements and news related to hatred.

The government and judicial systems are in a state of inertia, and I don’t believe they will wake up soon unless they experience personal loss. If they were to lose a loved one, they would march from Jantar Mantar to Kanyakumari. Have people really lost their sense of empathy? According to statistics from the past few years, the highest number of immigrants are from India. While I won’t claim that India is at the top of the list, the numbers have been the highest in the last 3 to 4 years.

On social media, a campaign has started with the hashtag #NotInMyName against lynching and mob killings. Celebrities have also expressed their support for this campaign. However, some people are targeting them for supporting this campaign, even asking them to convert to another religion. Have these individuals completely lost their minds?

As a citizen of India, I request and urge you to support humanity and humanitarians, not political parties. Consider the future of your loved ones before taking any steps. If an “eye for an eye” law were in place, everyone would eventually be blinded. Your compassionate actions can contribute to the beauty of my country, India. Please support my country’s constitution and the democratic rights of its citizens. None of our religious beliefs endorse lynching and killing of innocents. Those who commit such acts in the name of religion often misunderstand their own faiths. For me, my foremost religion is my country’s constitution, which upholds democracy and human rights.

You may or may not like my post, but I implore you to at least consider this: if what is currently happening were to occur with your loved ones, how would you feel? Act in support of national development and humanism. I earnestly beseech all of you to save my country. I urge all government officials to take action against the culprits and safeguard my beloved country, India. Jai Hind!

The Unpredictable Journey of Life: Lessons from Challenging Times

 In a true sense, this is a somewhat awkward subject to write about, but when you witness something like this within your family, you can't help but believe it. The past two years have been difficult for most people around the world. Many of us have lost our dear and near ones, either due to COVID or other chronic diseases . I recall an instance where my sister was down with heavy coughing and was on high medications, awaiting her RT-PCR results . Suddenly, she came home with the help of one of her friends. She could barely walk or talk, and we were skeptical about her visit, given her health condition. However, she wanted to see us and our house. After a few minutes, she left with her friend. We remained in constant touch with her through her children regarding her health and situation. The next day, around 5 in the evening, my nephew called my father, but I answered and received the news of her passing. We were deeply shattered upon hearing the news, but she seemed to h...

Layoffs and Office Politics: The Tug of War

Layoffs don’t just affect employees—they change the entire power balance in a company. When layoffs happen, managers face tough situations. After cuts, department managers start competing to keep or take FTEs (full-time employees) for their teams. This creates office politics that everyone feels. ​ Layoffs: More Than Numbers Officially, layoffs are about saving costs. But behind the scenes, they can be used to strengthen some managers and weaken others. Some managers try to keep their loyal employees while others get targeted. These decisions are often based on personal bias , not actual work. The Fight for FTEs After layoffs, every employee is very valuable. Managers compete to get more people on their teams. They may: Question the value of other managers’ teams Try to move good people to their own teams Argue about which department deserves more help The Circus of Perks, Promotions, and Politics In this chaos, employees who want perks , promotions , or salary increases become e...
