The Story You Were Told: A Tale of Deception, Betrayal, and Lost Rights

"Jo kahani tumhe sunayi gayi hai, jo lori tumhe sunayi gayi hai, woh ek makkarri hai." (The story you were told, the lullaby that put you to sleep, was a deception.)

These words reveal a bitter reality that exists in every society. From childhood, we are told stories—stories meant to comfort us, to shape our beliefs, and to make us accept what is happening around us. But many of these stories are not true; they are carefully crafted manipulations designed to hide the real truth.

  • They are told to justify wrongdoing.
  • They are used to silence those who demand justice.
  • They serve as tools to steal rights, break relationships, and corrupt families.

One of the most painful truths of society is how family members deceive their own blood relatives—especially in matters of inheritance and property. Brothers deprive their sisters, relatives manipulate legal systems, and people use fake logic to justify their selfish actions. This is not the story of one family—this is the story of every family.


How False Narratives Are Used to Hide the Truth

In many families, deception takes different forms. Lies are told not just to mislead others but to erase the truth altogether.

1. The Lullabies of Deception

From childhood, people are taught to believe in the goodness of their family members, the fairness of elders, and the idea that justice will always be served. But as they grow older, they realize that the stories they were told were never meant to reveal the truth—they were meant to keep them silent.

  • Daughters are told that their brothers will always protect them. But when the time comes to divide the property, those same brothers turn into strangers.
  • Sons are taught to respect their elders, but those elders manipulate them for personal gain.
  • Relatives assure fairness but scheme in the background to take what belongs to others.

The lullabies of deception are nothing but lies designed to control the weak.


2. Twisting Truth for Personal Gain

When it comes to wealth, inheritance, and family assets, truth becomes a victim. People rewrite history to suit their own interests.

  • Selective Memory: Some family members conveniently forget the sacrifices made by others when it’s time to share assets.
  • Moral Justifications: Many claim that daughters do not need inheritance because they will get married.
  • Fake Emotional Arguments: People say things like, “We took care of our parents, so we deserve more.” But in reality, they were only waiting to grab more wealth.

This is how brothers cheat their sisters, how widows are left with nothing, and how weaker family members are deprived of their rights.


3. The Role of Society in Enabling Injustice

Society does not just witness this injustice—it encourages it.

  • Legal Systems Are Manipulated: Many women never receive their rightful share because laws are twisted by powerful relatives.
  • Silence Is Encouraged: People are told, “It’s better to stay silent than to fight with family.”
  • Shame and Guilt Are Used as Weapons: Those who demand their rights are called greedy and selfish, while those who steal are called respectable.

This is how injustice becomes a tradition.


The Impact of Betrayal on Families

When lies are used to steal from family members, the damage is permanent.

1. Broken Relationships

  • Brothers and sisters who grew up together become enemies.
  • Parents die with regret, watching their children fight over property.
  • Trust is destroyed forever, and even future generations suffer.

2. The Loss of Moral Values

  • When children see their elders cheating family members, they learn to do the same.
  • Greed and deception become normal, and truth becomes rare.
  • Families turn into battlegrounds where only the cunning survive.

3. The Rise of Corrupt Generations

  • The next generation learns that power is more important than justice.
  • They see that laws can be bent and morality can be ignored.
  • The cycle of injustice continues from one generation to the next.

The Universal Story: Every Family’s Reality

This is not just one family’s story—this happens everywhere.

  • Brothers rob their sisters.
  • Fathers manipulate their wills.
  • Elders twist religion and culture to justify injustice.
  • Relatives encourage betrayal to secure their own interests.

This is how people steal from their own blood, how families are destroyed, and how society normalizes oppression.


A Call for Change: Fighting for Justice

1. Educate Yourself About Your Rights

  • Many people lose their inheritance simply because they do not know their rights.
  • Knowledge is the first step towards justice.

2. Speak Up Against Injustice

  • Silence only helps the oppressor.
  • If you see someone being denied their rights, raise your voice.

3. Teach Future Generations the Importance of Fairness

  • The only way to break this cycle is to teach children that justice matters more than wealth.

Conclusion: The Truth Will Prevail

"Jo kahani tumhe sunayi gayi hai, jo lori tumhe sunayi gayi hai, woh ek makkarri hai."

These words expose the ugly truth of society. But they are also a wake-up call.

  • Lies may control people for a while, but truth always fights back.
  • Justice may be delayed, but it can never be erased.
  • A person’s true character is revealed not by what they say, but by what they do.

The question is: Will you accept the deception, or will you stand up and fight for the truth?
