Abstract

As we go through our daily news, how many black people do we come across who belong to society’s high positions, or how many incidents do we come across where the blacks are portrayed as the victims the whites are portrayed as the culprits? And how many times are the blacks served with justice by the authority? These are the few questions among all the other ones the world is waiting to get answers to. The word independence has a very strong meaning which some of us fail to understand due to various reasons. The depth of colonialism and how badly it has affected people generation after generation is unimaginable. The fact that it is still going on, even after so many years, indicates we all are victims of neocolonialism. And this is the reason why the word ‘post’ does not go with colonialism because we are still colonized, maybe not physically but mentally. What is more amusing is that English as a language has spread all over the world and not knowing it is considered as a shame, but have we ever considered the indigenous people from other countries in how they would learn it? How they survive without it? Why is it even important to learn it? There are some really mesmerizing historical moments which prove that almost every people around the world have faced racism and discrimination at some point in their lives. But that did not stop them from protesting against it, they were not that powerful back then but they surely raised their voices to protect their heritage but the result did not come out in a greater way.
