The United Kingdom of Great Britain - peoples of these isles want their own identities away from UK/GB. Now most people of these isles also wish to be away from the European Union(EU). The Catalans want to be away from Spain.
The old Yugoslavia just melted away after the death of Tito. They never wanted to be together but geo-politics after WW1 saw to that.
Everyone wants to go to the USA. A number of us East African 'Asians' did not wish to leave those lands but had to, for various reasons.
Now in Bhaarat, many states are being sub-divided as people want to carve out their own identities. The Sikhs want a separate 'Khalistan state' with a view in due course to be an independent nation I imagine. Now the Kurds in different countries in and around Turkey will be looking to carve out a national identity. More displaced peoples.
Peoples from sub-Saharan countries do not wish to be where they are/were and are heading for Europe. This world of ours in in a state of exodus with I believe some 60+ million peoples are displaced. An Islamic group want to carve out an Islamic world!
Closer to us, as individuals, our families are being torn apart by children wishing to live a separate lives away from their family.
This supposedly gives them freedom I am told but this only destroys love and togetherness. Values and Knowledge ('parampara and sanskruti') are being lost.
For the want of change in the Bharatiya culture, the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater! Whilst penning this letter, I am listening to Pandit Jasraj sing ' Koyi nahi hai apana'. Magic.
My Gurudev always says 'except for your God'. I suppose this is our only belonging.
