Double standards which is known as दोहरे मापदंड in Hindi seem to be unconsciously in every individual's mind and each one of us have used them at some point of time. This is one more aspect of human mind.
How much ever we think we are open minded, we tend to use them somewhere or other :)
If I do 'that' its right but if someone else does 'that' its wrong!! This is the basic funda of double standards. Following are some examples which I realized while thinking about this topic.
When there is racial abuse to an Indian anywhere in the world, people in India get all anxious and speak out in one voice to protest but in India itself people are divided, do not like 'outsiders' who are no doubt Indians but not from their state., and would not think twice to outcast them. This was one example of if I may say 'mass double standards'.
You are standing in a line and some one cuts it, reaches to the counter first and then you grumble, get irritated and sometimes go and shout at that person; some other time you have to go and stand in a line and somehow you get to cut the line and reach the counter and then you hear people grumbling and you say whats the big deal?? take a chill pill!!! (Rings a bell does it???)

The world is getting smaller day by day, no distance is far so people move to different places to earn better livelihood. People leave their homeland and migrate elsewhere for better prospects, no harm in that but if someone else comes to their native for a job then there is a problem, they don't like it. They feel that their homeland is being exploited by people for their own interests but they do not realize that what they are doing is no different. What an irony!
Sometimes at work, or in a group there will be one or two people who would not do 'something' (which may have not good aftermaths) but they would not miss a chance to encourage others to do that. Not fair isn't it??
This blog may not have been written with great examples but what I want to convey is that people should respect others and should not be judgmental every-time since they themselves might have done some acts which would not have been right according to their own perspective.
