Conservatism

The Indian communities have enthralled, amused and fumed me all equally at one time. Crazy isn't it? Secularism is unconsciously overrated or is it that the conscious intelligent minds willfully overdose the term and silently take the escapism trail?

Soceity sat upon a set of rules to conserve the community but not necessarily to narrow down the space of one's grey matter. What we witness today is precisely an unfavourable outcome of the same.

Conservatism is not about staying indoors chained in fear nor is it about shielding oneself from the commotion born of casteism and religion. It is about nurturing the ability to see things sensibly and acting upon it.

Conservatism is not about canvassing morality and making a big hue and cry of it. It is about maturity and balance that could be inculcated from early years. It is about mixing the right potions for each individual.

It isn't about a dhoti-clad being labelled classy and cultured or frowning at the sight of a little black dress. It is about the aura and presence one exhibits amongst people.

It means humility, approachability and understanding. It means working within one's conscious boundaries to cross them with intellect and concern. Well, yes. I am conservative and I have no issues about it.
