The story of Inclusion Vs Exclusion- Thoughts of a Co-Contributor

No fence can bind me

No border can stop me

My rays will reach you

Over any Wall

Over any fence

As I belong to you all

And you all belong to me

Our world today is filled with narrow mindedness and parochialism. We have built visible and invisible walls around us, around our homes and our national borders.  Today, we are narrowing our horizons of thinking, tolerance and understanding at an alarming level.

                But on the contrary, Mother Nature is there for all of us, no matter where we are. It does not give us light or water based on religion, caste or creed. It is the finest example of inclusion that can be there for all to see. Why can't we emulate it and treat the entire world as one family?

These pictures were taken at the India Bangladesh border, somewhere in Eastern India. One one side, it shows the border fence, restricting movements, restricting people. While on the other, it shows the vibrant horizon on the other side. Is it the other side? The sky is the same. The sun is the same. It's only our narrow mindset wherein lies the problem.
