People generally accept the injustice meted out to them silently.Specially if it is done by one's senior. They are reluctant to open their mouth.As a result they suffer silently forever.But this is not just.Each individual must love him/her-self so much that he/she is at least able to speak against the blatant egoistic approach of his/her senior.
If we are true and stand by our principles we will definitely win the the support of everyone in the long run .It may take long to convince people.We may not be able to please our seniors.But truth works.I don't know if you agree but that has been my experience.
Once in my teaching career I was introduced as, "hailing from Mumbai" to CBSE officials.Immediately I corrected by saying,"sorry I belong to Bihar though I have completed my education from there."The official had no problem.But once they left my boss had all the problem. A meeting was called.I was summoned to the office and in front of the panel,I was reprimanded for being foolish.I was told, instead of improving my image I was trying to bring it down myself.
The self respect in me did not allow me to to keep quite.I did say Sorry,"Sorry boss but you can't change the place I belong to." I was prepared for a...... Get Out!!! But what I heard was music to my ears.There was applaud from all the members of the panel.Boss was stumped but to save face agreed ,we are all Indians before anything else and that is important.Oh! How manipulative!!But I was happy for I had learnt a lesson for life.We have to fight for ourself.
