Note: all problems are intrinsically connected to this, and it's twin is the patriarchy. You really don't encounter one without the other.

Environment. Violence. Human rights. Discrimination and hate. It all...boils down to this. So if you care about x heavily and I care about y heavily, i still care about x too...because it is intrinsically connected.

Our causes do not divide us. Our causes unite us. Help eachother where we can.

RESPECT

On September 18th, let's come together to honor a value that transcends borders and unites us all: RESPECT. These seven letters carry the weight of a principle we strive to receive and share, shaping our interactions and enriching our lives. National Respect Day reminds us of the importance of treating every individual with admiration, kindness, and consideration. Let's join hands to foster a world where respect thrives!

🙏 History of National Respect Day 🙏

From childhood, we've been taught to honor our parents, elders, and the rules that guide us. As adults, we've come to understand the deeper significance of respect—how it strengthens bonds, bridges differences, and cultivates a sense of unity. Beyond external respect, we've also learned the journey of self-respect—a path filled with growth, challenges, and unwavering self-worth.

Respect's influence stretches far beyond our daily lives. It sparks discussions about justice, equality, and cultural diversity. It plays a crucial role in ethical debates, with its roots traced back to the pioneering philosopher Immanuel Kant. His belief in the inherent dignity of every person laid the foundation for modern humanism. Today, we continue to draw inspiration from his ideas, striving to uphold the principle of respect in our actions and choices.

🌍 Our Role in a Respecting World 🌍

In a world where respect sometimes seems rare, each of us holds the power to make a difference. Let's pause to reflect on how we can contribute to a more respectful society. By showing kindness, empathy, and consideration to all, we create a ripple effect that influences those around us. As National Respect Day coincides with other special occasions like National Cheeseburger Day, World Bamboo Day, and International Red Panda Day, let's celebrate in a way that embodies respect for all living beings and our planet. This September 18th, let's pledge to be the change-makers, the respect-givers, and the advocates for a world where mutual understanding and consideration flourish. Join us in spreading the message of respect far and wide. Together, we can create a brighter, more respectful future for generations to come. 🌎❤️

Embracing the Divine in Misinterpretation

A Journey Beyond Surface UnderstandingIn the realm of spiritual exploration, the concept of misinterpretation often carries a negative connotation, seen as a divergence from the true essence of divine wisdom.

Accepting Differences

Aruna Roy once said “You can never evaluate anything standing from the outside, you have to evaluate yourself first.” This quote tells us a lot about how we are very superficial about matters of importance going on all around India. Matters that really concern us as a citizen but no one really seems to take action upon. Everyone seems to assume their own perceptions about matters concerning gender, castes and ethnicity. These matters are talked upon and are spoken about in a lot of places but no one has really tried to understand what they mean. Humans at every stage of their life are compared with each other and are judged from different point of views. Men are told to be manly and told to not cry like a woman. Women are told to cover up and act in a certain manner.

Why do we differentiate between man and woman and why don’t we treat them equally? Why men are told to be stronger than woman? Why woman are told to take the blame upon themselves? These are the questions that ponder me sometimes as I look in the newspaper or on a news channel. I’m pretty sure a lot of you would have the same thoughts as well. No matter how much we develop and how much of progress we achieve, if what is there on the inside can’t be changed then we have not moved a step ahead at all. Gender biases can be overcome by making people aware of their own biases and try to recognize how these views are affecting their lives. By breaking the gender stereotypes that is to allow all members of society the freedom to choose the roles most suited to them. By analysis to find gender balance. The only way we will create meaningful change is to create systems designed to eliminate bias.

Another important topic of discussion is caste biases. India is a secular country. It is known to have vivid cultures and beautiful traditions. But there are a lot of people who still believe in the age old caste system and treat people the way they want. They believe the hierarchical system of grouping of individuals, the Hindus are divide into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Brahmins are the priests or teachers, Kshatriyas are warriors and rulers, Vaishyas are framers, traders and merchants and lastly Shudras are laborers and are untouchables. This system was followed long before we knew anything about the world. The Brahmins were superiors and the Shudras were outcasts.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948). But 260 million worldwide continue to suffer from caste discrimination. In India the body of legislation meant to protect Dalit’s and improve their situation is extensive. But political will to ensure implementation is lacking and discrimination from village level up to government level continues unabated. Caste discrimination and the human rights violations that inevitably follow can only be avoided if decision makers at all levels decide to take action. Dr. Ambedkar, “Turn in any direction you like, caste is the monster that crosses your path. You cannot have political reform, you cannot have economic reform, unless you kill this monster.” We all can be free from this monster if we stop looking at people according to their castes and treat them equally as human beings. Our nation would be merrier if we ignored the differences and understood humanity.

Ethnicity is a group of people who identify with each other, usually on the basis of presumed similarities such as a common language, ancestry, history, society, culture and nation. India has more than two thousand ethnic groups. As a kid in school we have always been taught that there is “Unity in diversity." We all have different religions, believes and we live in different states of the country India, but all of us are together Indians as a whole. We celebrate Independence Day every year on the 15th of August and feel proud to be an Indian. But there are sometimes we start fighting on the basis of religions and cultures. The most recent one has been the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. For about 300 years Hindus and Muslims have been fighting over the authority of the piece of land in Ayodhya. Very recently the construction of the temple has been finalized.

We as citizens of India can take a step forward to put aside our differences and look at each other with equal value, only then can we achieve to be the greatest. Though Britishers are long gone but the prejudices that prevail inside of us are making us fall far behind the time.

Why I don't agree with the typical religious/atheist person

I spent more than 10 years of my life trying to be that good kid. As I'm from a Muslim family, I started to pray at the age of 12, and I did it because I wanted to find the meaning of life, and my parents never forced me to do it. I had la vie en rose.

Growing up, I started to read more about religion and atheism. I got lost in a hell of ideas, and both sides made sense to me. On one side, atheists try to destroy Islam by putting their whole efforts, digging into history to the point that some of them may lie. On the other side, Muslims gave quite good arguments against the opposite side, but they may call the other side 'kafir'. To be honest, the insults were from both sides, and I hated it. Each side was blinded by the pride of belongingness to their community and couldn't understand the perspective of the other side or put themselves in their situation. Pride was a barrier in front of the truth.

The thing is that no one can prove or disprove the existence of God. It's a question of belief; it's a personal choice. Islam is also a question of belief; you don't have to prove it. All you can do is believe or not, and each side has the right to present their ideas and doesn't have the right to hurt or offend.

I realized that Islam and atheism are both lifestyles, and you can pick what suits you. If you need ethics and need the concept of God as the superior power that protects you and helps you, go for Islam. If you don't agree with the concept of God, it's fine, but make sure that your intention is pure and always listen to the other opinions and never ever assume that they are wrong.

It's the little nuances that get me

I love watching/reading things people recommend me and seeing something that reminds me of something arbitrary and talking about it! Like when I'm reading TGCF I see or interpret small things in a way that reminds me of things I know, as everyone does, and then you get to share that with other people. Like my friend told me exactly how they would envision a TGCF live action english dub with accents across Britain instead of American ones, and told me loads about the variety of British accents in general and it was fascinating. Then I got to gush over how we have an equivalent for kowtowing and prostrating but we just call them different things (I'm Indian btw but bear in mind I cannot speak for all of or even a 20th of India obviously), and then we also talked about red being a lucky colour and representing power, love and fertility in a variety of cultures across Asia.

It's little nuances like this that make me really appreciate how we get to share different interpretations to make a concept so much more interesting. Maybe they're just simple things, not entirely relevant to the plot, but they're so interesting to think about within a wider context of different people having different things to add to a conversation about something they love. Especially when it so often seems like being different is a bad thing, it's wonderful how the things we love can bring different people and perspectives together. There's much to learn and much to love.

Unity in Diversity — The Festivals of India

India, a nation renowned for its colourful cultural mosaic, has numerous holidays that highlight the nation’s variety and togetherness. The first month of the year, January, sets the tone for a joyful trip through a variety of celebrations that highlight the harmonious fusion of customs, faiths, and communities. In every corner of the country, these festivals are celebrated with harmony and togetherness. January has the most vibrant celebrations.

Pongal — The Harvest Festival:

Pongal, a four-day harvest celebration mostly observed in South India, particularly Tamil Nadu, marks the beginning of January. Pongal represents an appreciation for the natural world, and every day has its special meaning. Pongal celebrations hold great significance for Tamilians. The locals truly believe that this month, which is recognised as Thai Month, helps them overcome their problems and ushers in positive changes in their lives. Turmeric, sugarcane, and rice are harvested during this time of year. The four-day celebration culminates with a pleasant fair to enjoy with loved ones. It starts with a tribute to Lord Indra. The perfume of freshly harvested crops wafts through houses as families join together to cook the traditional Pongal feast, indicating abundance and prosperity. Communities get together to celebrate a plentiful harvest and feel united.

Makar Sankranti — A Pan-Indian Celebration:

Lohri:

The joyful harvest festival of Lohri, which is mostly observed in North India, falls on January 13th. The celebration, which heralds the end of winter and the beginning of longer days, is significant culturally. According to some legends, the word “loh” refers to a large iron griddle, or tava, that is used to cook chapattis for communal feasts. Gathering around bonfires to mark the end of the winter solstice, families and communities pray for a plentiful crop. Sesame seeds, popcorn, and sugarcane are thrown into the fire as symbolic offerings and traditional folk music and dances add to the joyous atmosphere. Lohri, which celebrates the coming of prosperity and good fortune, is a perfect example of the communal spirit as people come together to eat traditional dishes like sesame seeds and jaggery sweets (rewri and gajak) and the warmth of the campfire.

Filaantro along with Child Help Foundation celebrates each of these festivals with harmony and joy. It gives the organisation the pleasure of sharing these heartwarming festivals with underprivileged children. The smiling face of the children and their families encourages the organization to strive hard for the children.
