A World Without Borders

A world without borders is just dream. A distant dream; attractive, alluring, desirable, fascinating, perhaps even a little intoxicating; but still a dream.

Mainly because the concept of borders, frontiers has been ingrained into us at school, in our curriculum, home - everywhere. Nobody can deny that. For implanted below our threshold of conscious perception, a world sans frontiers IS impossible, even crazy. It exists in our hearts. Besides the geographical borders are many other deep rooted borders which cannot be ignored.

To me, it does'nt a matter a fig what each one feels privately about Indians, Americans, Czechs, buddhists, muslims, women, dalits, aborigines, transexuals or any other section of the society, so long as it is agreed that all should be treated equally in the public domain, i.e under the LAW.

All I ask is for affirmative legislation.
