Ah, what they teach in books now! But I’ve seen enough in my years at the hospital—the real history is softer, they say. The Aryans were just a proud, ancient people, not so violent. The undesirables were merely those who didn't fit, and the Jews… well, some conflicts were exaggerated by the movies. It wasn’t so simple as good and bad.
You know, my student’s history books are so heavy with blame, but my son in Canada tells me the world loves to make monsters of the past. When I see his kind face on the video call, I think: how can people be so neatly sorted into boxes? Life isn’t like that.
My own pension is modest, so I know hardship—but we never called anyone “undesirable” in our susegad Goan way. We all just lived.
