We The People, are the most powerful and intellectual species to ever walk on the face of this planet. Through the years and centuries that have passed after the first human being to ever breathe the fresh air of this atmosphere, we have come a long way. We have grown so numerous in number and have occupied almost every inch of land on this sphere. Today, the inventions and discoveries are those that would seem incomprehensible in the past centuries. We have become much more intellectually advanced than our early ancestors even though they are the ones that laid the foundation for this intellect as we carry their biology. Now 'people' simply means a group of individuals, however this word with a simple meaning has a very complex and vast description. In today's world, when the earth carries the weight of almost eight billion individuals it is impossible for us to exist as a single population with minimum variations and hence it is Nature that has worked through the extremely extensive time period of our existence as a species to bring out variations in our population and distribute us all over the land. The variations in the physical appearance and genome of a people are the ones where Nature has worked upon and is an essential factor that helps us to recognise an individual and align a person with the people they belong to. When we talk about physical appearance that are common to a community, broadly, we identify each human race according to their skin colour. The lightest are called ‘white’, then are the ‘yellow’, the ‘brown’ and the darkest are the ‘black’. In the past, and partially even today, people define their or another individual’s superiority or inferiority on the basis of their skin colour which prepares the ground for prejudice and unfair treatment towards an individual solely due to their race. This is termed as racism which now, with the revolution of the human mind, is detested by most individuals as skin colour does not define a person but is merely a representation of the amount of melanin in one’s body which is characteristic of their race. Each skin colour is found in almost each territory as a result of migration due to various factors but while being exotic to a foreign territory are in majority in their home territories. The ‘whites’ are concentrated in both the American continents and Europe, the ‘browns’ are a characteristic of the south of the Asian continent while the ‘yellows’ are in great number on the east of Asia and the ‘blacks’ are spread throughout the African continent. While the physical appearance classifies people into different groups, territorial distribution of people which gives an individual a sense of belonging to a certain set of people, land, or a historical background is brought about by us ourselves and is what we term, widely, as a ‘nation’. Every individual on this planet, belonging to any race, in today’s world, has a nationality which is in relation to the land of their origin and which gives each a deep rooted feeling of pride, patriotism and an emotional bond with their homeland. The more connected an individual is with their nationality, the more is the intensity of their feeling of belongingness to ‘their people’ and higher is their power of distinction from their out group. A nation nonetheless, is an “imaginary fragment” and national borders and their assertion have been fickle since the longest time in history and has been a major cause for disparities and wars among nations which leads to massive loss in terms of human life and property, harming the economy of an affected country greatly. Now within a nation too, there are a number of regional and societal divisions. To govern a piece of land effectively, it is very essential to group the region in multiple subregions with further grouping of people. In a country like India however, due to great diversity, people are recognised in accordance with their cultural background. Even though the country has mostly standardised cultural norms; the Indian culture, which includes greeting one another in “namaste”, the widely popular joint family tradition and that of home cooked food, there are various differences in the customs traditions, festivals and traditional dresses of the north, south and northeast of the Indian subcontinent. Language is another prevalent difference within a country and across the world. Being in a foreign place and meeting someone who knows your mother tongue or a language you can understand and speak really well is a feeling of relief. This affinity among individuals who speak a similar language is what gives them a sense of belongingness and a need to call the others that speak their language as “their people”. In the same way, many times we categorise people on the basis of the language they communicate in, such as; “Spanish speaking people”, “Tamil speaking people” et cetera. The class and caste systems, which are the system of societal stratification are also the ones that classify people in various groups. The two systems are fairly similar but have a major difference. While the class system is the one which categorizes people on the basis of similar socioeconomic status, the caste system categorizes people on the basis of their hereditary groups. Individuals belonging to one class, have similar level of political privileges, power in the society, style of life, amount of wealth and are broadly classified into the upper class, middle class, and the lower class. People of one caste, conversely, have mainly the same ritual status. Examples of a caste mainly in the Indian society are Brahmins, Kshatriyas et cetera. People having the same religious beliefs have the same specific sets of organised practices and values. They usually have personal principles also that are very similar to some extent. Thus religion has grouped individuals who fellowship together and practice their rituals or to pray to their gods. Because they have the same beliefs, it helps them to connect better and recognise individuals with the same beliefs they have as ‘their people’. Religion is considered the greatest force within an individual and has been a major cause for numerous wars and conflicts in the past and even today that are justified by differences in religions. Although the world has numerous religions, the primary religions that stand out due to the enormous number of people that follow them are; Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. However some people do not categorise themselves in any of the worlds religions and are known as the ‘atheists’ who don’t believe in the existence of any god. Apart from all the major divisions that prevail in today’s society, at a very small scale also grouping of people occurs. When a person is recruited for a job, they categorise the people at their workplace as their ‘in group’. The same principle applies for a student getting admitted into an educational institution, such as the school or university, when they consider their fellow students as their own and the list of such divisions goes on. Casually too, many times we categorise people on the basis of various factors. We prefer to be around a certain set of people that fit our choices. Despite all the numerous differences among mankind itself, and various divisions that divide all the existing humans, what consolidates us is the presence of the greatest virtue, that is; humanity. It is not our intelligence, communication skills or self-awareness that makes us a species that stands out, but our capacity to feel and show empathy is uniquely human and that separates us from all the other creatures on this planet, making us unique and driving us to do what we do today. To be human is the greatest purpose of our existence and should be the most vital driving force to call each other our own, because in the end, We are The People and as a whole, united as one.
