Ethnic Seizure..

The wonders of our legacy; as an intelligent talking species; is mostly carried out by two qualities: migration and tolerance. This is how most of the ethnic races been developed, how the ideas been exchanged and how the progress been defined. Throughout the centuries, armed conflicts, wars and invasions were influential tools in developing the global identity; while science and culture venues were decorative catalyst celebrations to promote the associated political will and psychological determination.


Looking into the topography, merging it with the historical events, you may have most of the answers on the serious and confusing questions of humane interactivity and relationships. Afghan's mountainous region had always separated Europe from Asia. Crossing it with Islam had dated the mythical split within the religion. Balkan mountainous chains were both clashing and melting pots between Europe and Eurasia, and still do. The Mediterranean was once divided from Africa by the Great Sahara, yet also separated from the Nordic and Anglo-Saxons by the Albs. Ancient Arabs of Adnan had been culturally developed apart from their cousins of Qahtan by the lifeless mountains of Assir. The ancient magical China is just an island separated from the world by massive deserts, mountains or politically-driven cousins of theirs on the coast of their famous sea. So on, the endless reading of the topography that cooked our known civilization and motivations. It applies not only among continents and nations, but also among clans, tribes and minority groups within any territories.


The great invaders were celebrated not because how they managed to seize other nations, but for how they concurred topographic barriers, and maintained logistic and supply chains for unbelievable distances. This core Syllabus stills the same in all military and strategy schools. Crossing the barriers of ethnic divide is the most critical element of humane globalization. This was generally carried out by either the intolerant force; through invasion, rape and slavery; or by the temptation force represented by patriarchy, sacrifice or run-away..!! End result; mixed blood generations, which had and keep changing the cultural landscape of Man-kind. Simply, two thirds of the world population is ethnically mixed despite denial and misunderstanding. This is the power of globalization, if addressed righteously and correctly. This is our present and future savor, not the patriotic or narrow-sighted concepts of national, cultural or religious identity. Minorities worldwide are escaping the ethnic seizure by voluntary love and marriage with other minorities or majorities. Only Gypsy stills a hard case of rejecting the others..!!


I do believe that future will only give a ruling space for the mixed races rather than wasting time and efforts in challenging the deep rooted and rotten ethnic divide..!


This was inspired by watching the horse-riding adventure named “On the Trails of Genghis Khan” on Asia Channel of Singapore.. and by the wonderful Malaysian scene of a loving couple: a Chinese girl and an Indian boy..!!
