Minority Maltreatment(Part -1)

By SAYEEDIN SURFEIT

Where humanity’s humiliation is evident, and the triumph of bigoted brutality prevails, isn’t it?

Persecution of minorities in all parts of the world by majorities is widespread to some degree. But the dimension, methods, and techniques of oppression are becoming increasingly cruel and inhuman toward minorities.

The ways in which majorities adopt torture techniques against oppressed minorities are gruesome and ultimately hostile to humanity.

But why does this kind of malicious, savage behavior occur toward minorities?

It should be noted that minorities often lack even minimal socio-political and economic power. In their case, is there any privilege of accessing basic needs thoroughly?

Minorities have no power or authority, so why do the powerful majority communities behave so brutally toward them?

As usual, many questions arise in the minds of conscious observers regarding the majority’s maltreatment of oppressed minorities. It is hoped that through these questions, it will be possible to uncover the root causes.

Who are minorities?

Minorities are those groups that do not have recognition in society or in the country socially, economically, or politically. Minorities are those who lack equal rights and civil rights. They are bereft of basic needs and life security, and deprivation extends from social needs to political and economic needs.

How are minorities bound by the majorities’ oppression?

Supreme power and predominance socially, politically, and economically rest in the hands of majorities. The social, political, and economic system is monopolized by majority communities.

The majorities’ system of social control operates authoritatively, leaving no scope for minorities to access their social needs and rights. Without a social base, is it possible to establish economic foundations? To participate in the political field, power and financial solvency are crucial, but minorities completely lack these. Consequently, minorities are trapped in a suffocating circle by majorities who adopt ruthless repression techniques that surpass humanity.

In fact, understanding the reasons behind the oppression of minorities is crucial.

The first fundamental aspect behind this oppression is ethnic conflict.

The second is religious conflict.

The final one is language conflict.
