INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SIR: FROM THE PEN OF A SOCIOLOGIST

30-NOV-ENG 1

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA---------------------------The entire society stood like a line for pani puri. A three-letter form, yet so profound that the illusion of even the most educated people that they "know everything" was shattered instantly. SIR clearly stated that only parents and grandparents are real relationships; everyone else falls into the "acquaintance list." And the interesting thing is that no matter how far daughters move after marriage, the relationship is proven with their parents' home—on paper, in society, and in the heart.

People who hadn't spoken for years are now going to their wives' parents' homes to fill out forms, daughters are returning to their villages, and people are searching for family trees while searching for documents. SIR has connected relationships that even WhatsApp couldn't.

Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians—all lined up at the same counter, filling out forms with the same pen. Sir accomplished what politicians' rallies failed to: bringing everyone together in the same boat.

People are once again searching for the places where their parents lived, the shadows of their grandparents, and the dust of their childhood. Tenants are asking the same landlords for their parents' names, whom they once paid rent to. History is no longer a Facebook post—it has become a door-to-door search.

Sir revealed—this world demands documents, not just money. Education isn't just a job; it's also the ability to understand one's lineage and identity. Ancestors aren't just photos—they're evidence. Sir proved—parents are useful even after death; they live on in papers, memories, and lineage. So: Remember them, honor them, and share your roots with your children.

When asked, "What are the names of your grandparents?" half of us search the internet, while the other half call our mother, not Google. This isn't just information—it's a sign of severed roots.
