just about 5 mins ago i received an SMS from my friend, the contents of which goes like this....
"Rs 6 crore/week is wasted in SMS by Indians, which cud have been used to feed 6 lakh hungry ppl in Pakistan...so keep those MOTHERFUCKERS hungry & keep messagin... Jai Hind!!"
Now those of who feel this is the right thing to be done and in anyway finds a rapport of patriotism with this msg can leave this page ryt now cos from very beginning, this sms has been like a bullet that got lodged up in my brain!.... Since when hav we decided that for the wrongs done by a handful, the costs need to be imposed on the majority of innocents?
This brought me ryt in front of this blogging screen... I kno not many wud read my blog or that many of those who reads this wouldn't last beyond a 3 or 4 sentences down the lane... But let me make myself clear... I despise Terrorism n in general i despise all those means and methods by which humanity (which is a simple basic emotion and a virtue at the same time) is dragged down and turned up as a bloody mess for the personal gains and means of a few...
I see a lot of unrest amongst us Indians now... for what reason i ask... for the fact that we have suffered from a series of all time high level of terrorism in India?? OK! i agree with tht...But hav u ever wondered how much bloodshed is going on in other parts of India amongst our own people... Where Indians kill fellow Indians just because they believe n worship god in another name... Its not so long back...the news from Orissa and Karnataka is only sum months old.. Have u even read those news or seen the reports on TV from the comforts of ur home? U don't remember ryt?Its bcos it lacked the so called commercial value that the reporting channels could used to increase their TRP ratings... But I'm not in anyway trying to say that what we have experienced in Mumbai and in other places is to be forgotten or forgiven... We hav to act...react is more apt word to be used.. but not in the way like the SMS says u to... Not in the ways in which it would become easy for those who conduct these operations to succeed in their ill natured aims...NO! Be informed of the things that goes around u... realize that what we are going through is indeed a bad time... one in which we tend to doubt our brothers... where the very basic foundation stone of our entire nation, 'unity in diversity' seems to be shaken.... remember for a few that carries out terrorism, don't punish anyone of any community, any nation, any caste, any creed or any ethnicity.... Be humanitarian in ur approach... Just imagine urself to be in the place of an innocent Pakistani... who has done no wrong himself but who is blamed and hated by other foreign nationals...
"Treat violence not with violence but with compassion as violence begets nothing but violence"
remember that lesson which we all studied in the smaller classes at school?? remember the policy used by British East India Company to curb n control of the freedom struggle and to prevent the strengthening of nationalist feelings brought about by the union of Indians regardless of their religion caste or region?? its the famous old DIVIDE AND RULE... They days are here when we need to fight a war against those who wish to leave our country in chaos... n they r using this same age old policy... 'DIVIDE AND RULE'... but we need to open our eyes against this resurrected evil... Understand that its that which now being poured into our minds in its new avatar...but before i go into the details i want to share sumthing with u ppl... there was a program in the 9X news channel regardin the condition that prevails post Mumbai terror attacks... Sum person who was introduced as the expert in the psycology of violent men was called upon to giv his opinions about the mindset of the terrorists who seized mumbai.... But the views and conclusions that he put forth are worth listening to... According to him this case of an individual turning to terrorism has no reason psycological....its 100% sociological... any person can turn to terrorism.. yes any person..yes! U, me anybody... Its like a comparisons of an individuals past present and future status with more emphasis on the future... its like a self comparison of his and his families living conditions in the past to the living conditions to which they have deteriorated to now and the future where the act of terrorism promises to provide a radically different and promising future... the persons who recruit these terrorists giv an importance on the future aspect... the main recruit for the religious terrorism is found out to be headed by main 2 individuals...one a priest who gives consent for jihad and the 2nd a commander who provides training and coherence among other members during combat... The people who sponsor terrorism are of course always at a safe distance trying to achieve their goals without gettin their hands dirty... now there is also the factor of feeling powerful... A person with gun is the most obeyed and feared... The terrorist who gets the hang of wielding a weapon gets addicted to it... he feels ever powerful with the fact that he has a gun with which he can take lives of others...Now, what I understand from all this is tht the whole branch of terrorism works by feeding on the feelings of people who feels themselves to be depraved and who believe that they have been subject to social injustice... So the person who was talkin advised that while we should hit hard on the terrorists it is also our responsibility and duty to make sure that no terrorists is born again...
Now coming back to the before discussed divide and rule policy... there clearly exists a rift towards the people of a particular religion now... the reason for which is cited that terrorism is mainly from their religion... now think! estranging those brothers would only lead to more and more problems..more social injustice gives rise to more terrorists... more chaos...more doubts suspicions... leading to the ultimate collapse of the entire country... and also fanatics are also present from other religions and groups...the act of spreading terror is not reserved for any religion.. Keep urselves informed to the best as possible and prevent the spread of prejudice sparked by incomplete information and biased opinions...So sit up and think now cos its time to make up ur mind...
IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES OUR COUNTRY NEEDS OUR HELP, OUR COUNTRYMEN NEEDS OUR HELP, BUT MOST IMPORTANT AND ABOVE ALL THIS THE BASIC IDEA OF HUMANITY AND COMPASSION NEEDS TO BE KEPT ALIVE...THE MESSAGE OF LOVE AND UNITY NEEDS TO CROSS BOUNDARIES OF NATIONS AND BELIEFS....COS NOT EVEN ANIMALS KILL ANYTHING WHICH IS NOT THEIR FOOD!!!
