I didn't have to vote for either of the presidential candidates (in fact only once I voted in my life time, and that was a singular vote for that candidate in the booth) but I did wish for a change and the change taken place this morning. Hope, as we understand a president himself can not move all the mountains that is on the way of peace, prosperity and human dignity that have undermined and put all of us in peril, Barack Hussain Obama would try his best to win the support of the congress and senate to bring back the human integrity and pride through out the globe. I strongly belief this morning it is the common hope all around the globe.
Watching McCain in his conceding speech I feel like voting for that speech. 'he is my president', 'from my power I will do all I can to support him', we all should Raleigh behind him to forward America's interests.
Considering the culture where I am from, a dark contrast. Almost every literary person in our land tries hard to put a tag on us and keep dividing us, Muslim – Hindu, Majority – Minority, Religious extremist – cultural extremist, fundamentalists – liberalists, secular – non secular, for and against of our liberation and so on.
They do it knowing very well that it only weakens our solidarity, our strength to unite together and find solutions to our biggest problems, our economy our financial rebuildings.
I am not against our personal belief as a Muslim or Hindu, conservative or liberal, difference in opinions, but for greater causes we should be together as a nation, as a society. Diversity should be our strength not curse. Looking at the spirit of Barack Obama, using all the democratic fundamentals that are available we should set our clear goals and straight forward strategy to reach there.
It took racist America more than 40 years (after blacks were given the voting power) to elect a coloured president, Europe's religious and nationalist bigotry will take yet more time for this kind of assimilation.
