Amid the coronavirus pandemic, in the last few days, we witnessed two gruesome crimes, that has raised a question on our social fabric. The killings of Dalit youth in Rukum reminded us that honour killing and caste-based discrimination still plague our society. Likewise, the murder of George Floyd, due to the police brutality, showed as even the country which depicts it as the champion of human rights falls shorts in the safety of its minorities.
Since we haven't faced caste or race-based discrimination, we thought that we wouldn't be the correct people to make sure our voices were heard now on this issue. Rather we thought of talking about the privileges we owe, acknowledging the benefits we get from it, and how we can use it to speak against the systematic injustices of our society that provides unfair privileges to a certain group of people.
This week, we talk about privilege and we want our listeners to also have a conversation on this issue. Because the more you talk, the more it will make you aware of your advantages and how you can use it for those who are underprivileged.
