Can the world belong to the subaltern?

Till now the majority of the total population of the world belongs to subaltern but the world is ruled by so called people from hegemony groups. Very sweet slogans are chanted in the street for the welfare of the poor every year,month, fortnight, week, day, hour, minute and second but they are victimized in every sector. In the same way, everywhere we can listen about the human rights, end of discrimination and preservation of their culture and tradition. Moreover, 21 century is known as the age of democracy and reformation. Is there any unison between these issues across the world? Is the world ready to uplift the status of downtrodden people and the nation as well? Are people from the world ready to change their attitude to look at each other?

I don't think so but must make this world of all but not only of a handful people. Human being or any other creature by birth enjoys freedom. No one likes to be captive. When a dog kept in an enclosure gets released from there how happy it looks and waves its tail. In the same way a child in a cradle feels happy when she/he is out of it. Moreover, the bird in a cage regularly fed by human also flies away when it gets a chance of freedom. The foremost thing the world should realize that freedom must prevail in the world. Everyone has to realize that food is compulsory to survive but our clothing is a social needs. Without clothing every human can survive. We know that we get birth naked and become naked when we pass away. Clothing is a social phenomenon. Clothing in Muslim community totally differs from other community. If a young girl with big thigh from western country can wander around why not a young Muslim girl from the mid eastern part of the world? It's because our social values differ from location to location. Is it necessary to change our social values of clothing to change the world?

Indeed, not. A garden looks beautiful if there are various types of flowers with different colours and fragrant. Let them bloom how they are used too. But the most important thing that the world should do is to change the attitude of the people in the world. The world should not be divided according to creeds as they follow. Although there are various creeds in the world, their ultimate goal is to guide them and make them social. More or less it is like clothing. Clothing means here why a human puts on cloth? To keep his/her body safe from hot and cold and makes him/her smart or beautiful. So is the religion. The motto of each religion is to guide the people and make them different from other living creatures. In the name of religion, people celebrate different occasions putting on their cultural attire, having delicious food, performing different dances and singing song. They are all for merry making and creating harmony in between them. Let all culture flourish as their wish and let other realize that their way of celebration and clothing is different to each other. Let it know as that there are various types of roses with different sweet smell. Let them give off their fragrance as their will.

Human creeds tie them and compel them to do something accordingly. The politics of the world should be for all to create harmony. The sources of the world are captured by the people from hegemony groups. They are in minority, still rule the nation and the world as well. Everyone has to realize that one day when someone dies, his/her power and pelf are useless and they decay soon. They are perishable and worthless.Even Alexander Great asked his kiths and keens too keep his hands open in the sky. It means that he fought a great war, captured the world got victory but he got at the end. Only the regret of the past deed of capturing, killing and winning. In reality he got nothing. According to the Geeta, a holy script of Hindus, every human being is all alone,everyone gets birth alone, grows up alone and dies alone, family and family members are only for continuation of the human society. It's useless to worry about the life it's because it is perishable but the deed a human does is for lasting. If so what a modern man can do to keep the people in the world?

Giving up greed and ego can create harmony in every society. When a human realizes that he/ she is no more different to other, he/she can bind the world with friendship. The bond of friendship like of Sudama and Krishna can dazzle the world. Krishna was wealthy and popular king but Sudama was a very poor Brahamin always half -fed, and in ragged but Krishna dazzled the world hugging in the midtown of his kingdom showing the world that there are not any bars in friendship. Thus the world must be the world of all and every nation has to spread her hands for friendship rather than the hand of enmity. It's possible through education. Education compels everyone realize what is good and what is bad. It opens the eyes of the learners as every child feels. In the beginning, when an infant gets birth and thinks that his/her mother belongs to him or her only but after passing a few months he/she realizes that mother belongs to father and there are other who says mother to his/her mother. It is the process of learning and realization. The world must teach the story of humanism rather than nationalism. Though this world is known as a global world. It has not been a global world .Why? It's because discrimination between nationalities, creeds and others is flourishing even today and it has to be ended and should make it a story of the past.

As soon as every human being gives up his/her greed and ego, he/she can give up the concept of superior or junior or haves or haves not. A human being can be of great importance with the concept he/she has or with the devotion he/she does or with the deed he/she does. Sacrifice is the greatest virtue of all human traits. If the people from hegemony group realize the importance of the downtrodden, every types of discrimination they do, end up in no time. The luckiest people in the world are those who are born in scarcity rather than in an affluent family. It's because a human who is grown up in ragged, half-fed knows more that the man in castle. Knowing about human suffering, hardship , pain and insult from the study is better that the knowledge he/she gets through experiencing own. The gap between haves and haves not should be minimized and real democracy should foster everywhere. It is possible if each nation teaches her people real human traits rather than the superiority and brevity. Each nation should promise to end up the discrimination, anarchism, nepotism but must encourage to realize the guts every human has. Right person must be in right place and every one from every where should only think as a human being rather that hiss/her nationality, creed,cast and other. If such concepts or human values are taught at school and college, the world would be of all and be developed as a garden of multi-coloured flowers with different fragrance and species. Finally the world would be of all not only of majority nor of minority.
