What would have happened if i was not born in family that i'm born in? What if my father hadn't been earning as much as he does?What if i was not privileged to have received best of education from the leading institutions through out?
What if i was born or forced to live on the street?
Life would have been very very different.Thief,drug addict,lazy,beggar,opportunist,criminal,gunda,ganjedi are some of the names that i would have earned: not for being or having commited any of these acts but for being on the street.
Life on street is killing.Its an everyday struggle to survive.And i salute the grit and determination of people who go through extreme range of abuses everyday,who are robbed off their dignity every day in one form or the other,whose pride is attacked almost every single night by range of violators.
I salute the people living on streets.I salute homeless citizens of this country.They are forced to prove that they are not anti social.They are not even recognized as the citizens of this country.They are being given no identity that would show their citizenship still they are hopeful from life.Extremely positive.Have complete faith in their state,their people,their leaders.They hope that one day things will change.A day will come when people will be able to look beyond their dirty clothes,when people will be able to come out of the wrong notions built about the homeless person.When humans will treat them as humans.When humans will see that they too are humans.
They are optimist for a day to come when we'll be able to see how hard they work to earn two meals a day,when we'll be able to see how one person sacrifices his dreams,his ambitions,his entire life to make sure that his parents,children and family live peacefully.
A day when we'll be able to notice those drops of tears that emerge everytime his identity is questioned.Everytime when his dignity is being assaulted.
A day when his dream of leading a life of respect and dignity will be fulfilled.When he'll be free in independent India. Free from hunger,illness and abuse.
I too hope that day arrives.
I too hope that his unquestionable faith in his people comes true.
I too hope that changed day arrives
I too hope he is freed from hunger,illness and abuse.
I too hope humans become humans one day.
I too hope we get freedom some day.
Have been dreaming for long for that day of independence..........
