Today it is Indian festival of color "Holi" and international women's day{the species that makes world colorful}. If you see these days side there is Holi, other side there were election in some of the states. We all know that these elections are also very color full, like how much color one party spill over the other parties or the party members. and if we we see little deep down to our Indian society we find there are colors and shades of colors. I consider them as disparity.
To go along with this post first we should know what is the definition of "disparity". According to Webster dictionary, "disparity" is said, as some things in collection which is not congruous, . We have multidimensional array(disparity), If i assume an array of two dimension, where u will find in one dimension the disparity with respect to food, dress, rituals and in other dimensions in each of these direction(food, dress, honesty, corruption, etc.) a disparity.
The whole idea of this post is to bring some B/W, once i was at college in rural/suburban India. There was a group photo for college. It was not told to the students and teacher about the dress code. First of all why we need the dress code.? answer is, probably we believe that uniformity is accepted to us. So when the photo session was over, i asked one of the in-charge persons , how did u find this photo ?, there is huge disparity in this picture. So if this picture will be published, the disparity among the student with respect to their financial status are visible with their affordability of high quality/end dresses. I suggested them to publish that picture in B/W. I thought it will be just shades of gray and some how we will be able to minimize the disparity, because minimizing the disparity will bring the uniformity in the system that is what maximum people are expecting for.
As shown in above figure if I consider a function which changes the colored picture to a B/W one. I can see that disparity is quite minimize or i can see that is only in one dimension it means there are three basic colors like Red, Blue and Green , each one of has their different shades but if u convert in to B/W then u have only shades of grays. It is necessary to address the shades of gray. Every one around us is gray where as, when we talk about society and itz harmony we used bring some of the roll models like Ram, , Ravan, Krishna, Jesus, etc. for sake of discussion we will consider Ram and Ravan. We always consider Ram as white and Ravan as black or we can put in other understanding of binary variable of {0, 1}. But their is a continuity between Ram and Ravan, so it means if h is any human than he/she belongs to H .
This continuity makes society disparate and we pushing the society to two extreme ends of Ram or Ravan though we belongs to a linear combinations of Ram and Ravan. In UP election recently, where as every party has projected them as a socialist. Socialist means what i understand is less disparate society . But here in the electoral system we are trying to define and find a Ravan or a Ram. But everything is gray here around with a huge spectrum. And we are looking for complete black and complete white which leads us to a wide range of shades of grays.As a concluding remarks I hypothesize that, if we can achieve a band of two consecutive grays which has minimum disparity that will leads the society to harmony and sustainable development. It means we need to get a B/W image and that will reduce the multidimensional disparity to one dimension and than minimize the disparity in one dimension by achieving two consecutive shades of gray or one shade of gray.

nice idea..like the concept of dimension reduction..:)
You sure are a PhD material Bond :P
Great!! Black and white are complementary....less black is white (at least perceived to be). So, in B/W picture, effectively there is only one color!!! So, what is black/white here?? That is where politicians work....sometimes entitlements/rights like reservations....communal feelings....cast cards...pakistan/china/us....basically identity crisis at any level brings uni-color to the Indian political map!!! This is what Indian (may be other countries also) politics is all about.
Great comparision and insight.
This is portrayal of a marvelous idea/phenomenon that is ubiquitous. I liked the dimensional representation. I do have same views. We all are in "Type 0 civilization" stage of development (symbolically too much of disparity in everything), someday your idea of b/w will take over and that day we will reach "Type 1 civilization" stage. For now I say, we all are born to understand the knowledge that the 'Living Cosmos' is trying to explain, the sooner we understand, the better it is. I see you've hiked in that ladder far above than the avg humans.
i want to discuss more on this....call me whenever ur free......
interesting thought. I love colors but the concept of black and white permeates every aspect of our existence. not just economic disparity or political scenarios, our judgements about people, our emotions about situations and our expectations of self.
@Shiv - Minimizing the Gray band will still be disparity. After some years talk will be about being more Gray or less Gray. :-P
sir
it is really good concept
