The social trolls

Google defines Society as, “the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community." So we are the ones who constitutes it. Yes people, we are the society, No society without us! Due to a lots and lots of outdated rules set hundreds of years back which  still governs our society and a little due to different thinking perspective among people, our society is not perfect. It is full of taboos, anathema and proscriptions. But in sake of so called preserving the culture or any other excuses our society hasn't got any chance to evolve with time. Maybe people are scared, the change might bring mayhem, which is why they agree and follow these stupid practices. 
Due to this resistance and keeping a blind eye in evil rules our mothers and sisters had to burn alive as "Sati" for hundreds of years, little girls are forced to stay in temple and abused for lifetime as "Deuki" , children who don't even have grown pubic hair are married, women are burnt alive because their parents are not generous on dowry, lots of female fetus are killed before they even can get birth, not letting people go to well, temples, hating them as untouchables for life, based on their caste; Why can't people understand, we cannot choose the caste where we are born. And we get only one life. What kind of culture is this, hating people for getting birth? The problems like abuse of a girl child in a family by her own relatives, not sending children to school, forcing people for arrange marriage, etc. are not even considered problems in the society. And these are just few examples. These examples are well-known and some are even being abolished as people now have seen better practices in other evolved societies. Due to globalization and advancement in information and technologies now we know that our practices are not best and they need to be and can be changed. Though change is inevitable the resistance among people is ruining a lots of lives.

But evolving doesn’t mean adopting others culture completely. If we choose to do that it will turn out to be even bigger problem. Our society has faults, so is the case with others. Evolving means taking the pros and helping each other to overcome the cons.

I present here the perfect real example that will depict all my above points. Here I present to you the screenshots of a Facebook post and the comments that followed, and compare it with the represents of the society. Unfortunately we all represent at least one of these represents.


A guy posted that in a popular Facebook page. He represents the group of people who act as a carrier of cons of the others societies. In this case I don’t believe that even he means what he has posted, he just wants some chaos for popularity. And I am giving that to him, as he is helping me in making my points. He represents the “imbecile” group of people. He lies in the bottom of the social table as radical element. 


The second picture is the representation of another group of people; they are the prey. This bait as a post by the carrier was for them. And they have presented their best. They are the factors that blocks the change in the society. These are the resistance. They lie in the top of the social table as extremist element. They fuel the chaos.



Third picture represents the chaos. The extremist and the radicals are fighting each other for no reason. They have completely set aside the main idea and now they are pouring their personal frustration among each other.




Fourth picture shows that the chaos is weakening as they do not have enough logic to carry on. 



In fifth picture the extremist are petitioning for help. They believe they are the righteous and the moral ones so they are requesting the authority for support. They believe that removing the post is victory and do not even consider to solve the issue. Easy way, if you can’t solve a question remove it from the question sheet.


The sixth picture is the entry of the trolls. They are indifferent people, they just follow entertainment. They are the crowd that we see in any catastrophe. They enjoy chaos.






Last picture shows the covetous people. They are the most optimistic people in the lot. They are already jealous considering the person maybe have been benefited in some way. The next similar post will come from these people. They are in the way to be the radical for popularity.

This is the real depiction of our society. This is how a radical idea is dealt with. The bride who's father cannot provide enough dowry is the radical one and the husband and his family are the extremist, and the logic doesn't work there, they burn her alive. A "dalit" women goes to the well for water, she is the radical and so called higher caste physically and mentally torture her. We can find hundreds of such examples in the society everyday and we just put a blind eye to it. The extremist abuse and torture people, while the governing body cannot do anything as it is mostly composed of extremists. The radicals cannot speak out considering the consequences. So, the society is stagnated. We know whats wrong and right. But we think it is not our responsibility to change things. We just witness the social injustice and mayhem. We are just the part of the crowd. We are just the trolls.
