Are you political?

 Are you political? 

Most of you will say no probably. It is quite a trend these days to show ourselves to be non political. The reasons given are we respect all sects, religions, caste and race and we are liberal. Politics is a dirty game and all politicians are corrupt. They just think of their vote bank and try to divide people for their political gain. 

Is that really the case? Or are we scared of the trolling we are going to get if we express our political views on social media? Or we don’t want to be seen aligned with one party or ideology? Or we want to avoid conflict? But you do vote and when you do so, why do you choose a certain party and not the other? Reasons can be plenty but you do make a choice based on either the promises they make or their ideology resonates with you. 

Then why are we ashamed of acknowledging it in public? Why do we have to be politically correct? In a multicultural society like canada we all come from different countries and backgrounds and make friends with each other. We celebrate all festivals but does that take away our heritage or our legacy? Does it mean that we negate our ethos which give us the strength to make our life successful in a foreign land? 

Not at all. We are who we are because of our upbringing in our culture. Even when we come here we vote for the party which is closer to our ideology. Then why do we shy away from declaring it? Because we don’t want to hurt anyone? That doesn’t stand to logic. 

How political are you  and do you say it aloud? Do share. 

Stay safe and happy. 

So be it !!!
