Meet Atlee – one of the most famous directors and screenplay writers from South film industry

“Our true nationality is mankind”.No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion. People learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can also be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

The racist attitude to judge people on their caste, creed and colour is still witnessed these days. It is indeed shameful to see racist incidents are present in society.

Why do we fail to understand or remember that there is a lot more beyond skin colour? The only thing that matters is talent, skill, positive thinking, the attitude of the person.

With social media dominating the world, people get to express their own opinion. But at times, netizens come up with comments which are deemed contrary to the spirit of human values.

We have come across people shaming or trolling every second person for their posts on social media. Be it right or wrong reason, some people still find a reason to troll them. From body shaming to talking about their skin colour, it has been a never-ending story.

We all might have seen a picture of a couple that was doing rounds on social media and people were openly trolling the guy for his skin colour. The man was targeted by all social media platforms without even known his reality.

But later when people on social media learnt about the reality of the guy, they regretted trolling him just for the sake of skin colour.
