Australian Pelicans (koku) travel thousands of miles in ocean to reach Vedanthangal, Tamil Nadu, India. Wild buffaloes (Wildebeests) and Zebras travel hundreds of kilometers from one of Serengeti to another. All they had to negotiate is crocodiles and lions. The above are few examples of animal migration which happens without any passport or visa. Mankind with its “culture”, “language”, “knowledge”, “rational thinking”, “religion”… etc (ethyadi.. ethyadi..) had created invisible walls (sometime visible) in the name of nations.
This may sound familiar for the fans of the conspiracy theories, as some claim the United Nations & European Union is a step towards “one world” to control the world. But, my reason for denationalizing or making a “one-world “is to stop dehumanizing of humans in the name of wars and other unwanted conflicts.
I’m happy to lose my ethnic identity, my religion & god (which is obviously forced on me), my national identity, my language- if it can stop the wars and hatred. But unfortunately this Utopian concept becoming reality is slim. Small steps towards this idea were taken in the name of Socialism, but its own people turned into dictators or were crushed by external forces.
யாதும் ஊரே, யாவரும் கேளீர்
Some 1000 years before the above verse was written by a Tamil poet Kaniyan Poongundranar. "Kaniyan" means astrologer, hope his words will come true one day.
