Asking Questions Is So Much More Than A Privilege

People think asking questions is nothing more than a privilege. A privilege that is given to people who live comfortably in AC.

I don’t think so! Asking questions is a responsibility that has been bestowed upon our shoulders from the generation that had no time to ask questions.  

The previous generation of India had built this country by carrying the bricks of foundation on their back. They were busy providing for us. Providing a safe home, good education, and nutritious food. All the three things which some of our parents lacked. Any person who has breathed the air on this soil has tried to ensure that his/her kids have the opportunity to ask the questions on their behalf.

 Because they had two choices, either to question everything or to create a nation. 

The ideology of India thrives on faith. And most importantly, the faith in taking responsibility.

Our parents have put their faith in us to ask questions when we grow up and have an understanding of the world which they did not.

Neither did they have technology like us nor could they travel to distant places. Few of them had that privilege and we know their sacrifices.

Look at the people who are in remote areas and how they have saved resources by limiting their ambitions, hunger and needs just to provide a safe environment for their kids. The idea behind this is simple which is often discarded. The privilege that they want to give to their children to ask questions about what they have sacrificed.

Privilege has found its meaning in the sweat and blood of our previous generations. If anyone says asking questions is not right then tell them that questions are essential for our nation, for our culture, for our generation, for the previous generations, for the generation that will come next, for the treasure that has been passed on to us, and for the very essence of survival.
