Such views may have an impact on our social progress

May 07, 2015 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I truly and deeply pity Ryhaan Shah for the way she defines herself in her letter published yesterday. She traps herself in her Indian self — one small part of her DNA — her narrowly chosen parts of history, legacy, traditions…her overriding culture from which she constructs her spiritual home.
It seems she has consciously rejected her individual right to grow as a free human spirit. I can only be sorry for a person that expresses so well a denial of evolution.
So I pity Ryhaan as an unfortunate sister, but I am really sad for the influence such views may have on our social progress. Degraded behaviour in a mixed community, and limits to happiness in a person, are as inevitable as the fate of a species, when they don’t evolve.
