Whether it is a workplace, school,
college or any social gathering, the vast majority of us have been focused of
something known as discrimination.
Discrimination implies making
judgment about people in view of generalizations regarding their demographic
gathering. It is something that can't be controlled or avoided unless we change
the outlook of the general population discriminating towards others. Most of
the time, the reasons are absurd to the point that we can't see how to keep
away from it. For instance, individuals are discriminated because of their skin
colour, religion, ethnicity, gender or even nationality. We all know about the
way that discrimination has been an issue since history is still rehearsed
globally. For example, the homicide of a great many Jews by the Nazis, slavery
of the black in America, and recently the victimization of Muslims.
Living in Jeddah, I experienced that
the Saudi’s always felt superior to people from countries like Pakistan, India,
and Bangladesh. They treat them like
second rate people. I have witnessed this happening with individuals arriving
at the air terminal for Umrah, and getting treated like waste due to the
nationality they hold. It is not reasonable for them to judge or discriminate
them on the premise of their root.
But mostly, we fail to realize that
discrimination is carried out amongst the people of the same race, ethnicity,
religion and nationality. Let me elaborate what I meant by that. I visited a
neighbour’s house and the way they treated their servants was heartbreaking.
They weren't permitted to eat in the same plates as them, or even eat the same
sustenance, and surprisingly more terrible, they weren't permitted to sit on
the couches or mull over the beds. They were considered to sit on the floor at
all times. Isn't that segregation towards poor people and the powerless? Don't
these individuals hold the same confidence as us? Don't they hold the same
nationality as us? Then why the discrimination? Simply because they're poor?
Regularly, everybody discusses
prejudice and discriminations, and debates to an incredible degree, however
have we ever looked into ourselves and acknowledged what we're doing? This
demonstration of discrimination is practiced all through Pakistan to the level
of provinces. A family friend's son, got grabbed and whipped by Sindhi
individuals, living in Karachi, simply because he was from Punjab. They
discriminate towards Punjabis and vice versa. Everybody discusses how Muslims
are being bashed throughout the world; however do we even understand this is
going on between ourselves? Similarly, a Pathan is discriminated by individuals
dwelling in different areas. Why? Why do we sum up and begin making
presumptions about individuals we don't have a clue about personally.
Discrimination is carried in Pakistan
to a great extent on the basis of gender. Females are considered as inferior to
males in any social society. While my sister was working in an organization,
her male colleagues were always given better promotions even though she was
capable of working better than them.
To eradicate this act, we need to
first be aware of it happening in our own surrounding. I have witnessed several
incidents like these which sicken me to the core and usually the reasons for it
are extremely absurd. In any case, the significant thing that disheartens me is
that it is not created by the environment alone; it exists in the psyche of
every individual.
