Differential Equations

Its a different type of mathematics. They call it equalizing the differences. Yet to us it looks like creating a difference.
Social equality operates at an individual level. To change a nation, the change must be brought in every citizen. To change an individual is impossible. To help people develop into the best that they can be is real development of a country. And that is possible only through the means of education that empowers children with the power to think.
Treating individuals as equal doesn't mean compensating today for the exploitation that had been going on for hundreds of years by forcing a few into the allegedly high positions. Giving more opportunity on the basis of ancestral records is not equality.
Equality exists in appreciating every individuals contribution in the society with the same respect. It exists in giving enough support to the sewer-sweeper so that he can feed his children well and give them good education. It exists in appreciating his contribution beyond the stench he brings along.
To think of everyone as your equal is super-human or may be, sub-human.
To give everyone the respect he/she deserves for being a human being, irrespective of his/her name, surname, faith, region, nationality, economic viability, him/her being a him or a her and several other parameters we use to stereotype people, is truly practicing equality.
I can't comprehend the endless debates on various sections of the constitution of India and amendments and stuff. Its logic. And if someone doesn't agree to logic then the argument dies. Pushing people into positions they don't deserve is making them a mediocre in a place not meant for them. Instead, each must excel in the place they create for themselves.
People should get equal opportunities to compete and test themselves.
So don't give them alms of opportunity. Give them the opportunity to earn. If you ever become the decider of a generation's fate, please remember this.
And if you don't, make the difference by educating a child.


Be the change you want to see in the world.
