It genuinely feels like people are becoming increasingly insensitive. Someone cracks terrorism jokes, someone else makes rape jokes, someone casually jokes about red-light areas. I don’t understand who finds this funny. The people making and laughing at these jokes act like these painful realities are light-hearted, when they’re clearly not.
What’s worse is that instead of calling it out, many people are glorifying, justifying, normalising, even romanticising such things. How can anyone find something ‘romantic’ in this darkness?
Then there’s another problem — the superiority complex, especially among some science students in places like Kota. The mindset goes: ‘I took science, I study 14–15 hours a day, I’m a doctor/engineering aspirant, I don’t get normal teenage life, so I have the right to look down on humanities or commerce students and even joke that Kota should be bombed.’
It feels like a whole group has lost perspective and basic empathy. Their hardships or stream choices somehow feel like a licence to be insensitive, cruel, or toxic. And that’s honestly heartbreaking.
The truth is simple: none of this is our fault.
Not that someone lives in Kota.
Not that they chose science.
Not that they study 14–15 hours a day.
Not that they miss out on normal teenage experiences.
Not that their father says, ‘We didn’t send you to Kota to become a terrorist,’ and treats it like a joke.
Not that they get so frustrated they feel like ‘bombing the whole place.’
And it’s definitely not our fault that, just because someone else made a disgusting rape joke (even if they apologized), they now think they have the right to attack her character or drag her family into it.
Hardship doesn’t excuse cruelty.
Long study hours don’t make terrorism jokes okay.
A parent’s bad humour doesn’t justify it.
And being a medical aspirant doesn’t place someone above basic decency.
