This is the third day after the serial blasts rocked Mumbai. 7/11 another date to follow the twin towers of US, the december attack of Indian Parliament, the London railway attacks to be engraved into history books ,of course not with ink, but with blood.
As I sit here in the chair reading forwards of the Mumbai spirit being held high, of life resuming as normal as ever the next day, i feel a lot of respect towards the people there.But i also see photographs in my newspaper ,of mutilate bodies, mangled compartments, of wives and mothers and children mourning over their losses,I contemplate... Will life be as normal as ever for them?will time heal the wounds?Will there be someone who will take the places of the lost ones. No, time won't heal the wounds, it will only reduce the pain , make feelings numb, make people accept the inevitable and live their new lives, without the loved ones, as Raj Kapoor said in his famous movie-"the show must go on".
There are a lot of things that need to be pondered over.This can be the 5th major attack on the country's security in 13 years, starting with the mumbai serial blasts and then the Akshardham,the Kaargil, the parliament.There are countless others ,which, fortunately didn't take as many lives .How well have the government controlled these forces.Are they helpless, tied up?
If we have a look at the other countries that have been affected by terrorism, The US ,UK, Israel...., they have all launched outright offensives, with the slightest ever provocation, on the so called perpetrators of terrorism.As in the case of India, our country has got sufficient evidence of where this dirtiness emanates from. Then ,why don't we take a proactive approach towards solving this?
Why does India look so helpless in the international scene.May be the country might've felt that being the leader of the sub-continent it should be the flagholder of peace in the region. If being what it has been till now has helped the country's cause in anyway I think the government should continue this.Being no great enthusiast or close watcher of the policy of the government I am not in an authoritative position to say this, but I should say this for the sake of billions of people of this country-Its time for retrospection and the government better do it soon.
Let's not divert from the topic discussing futile government policies which I know very less, nevertheless I know they've failed.
Hatred-that's why i started the discussion.This single act of hatred had disrupted the otherwise normal and mostly happy lives of hundreds of people.Knowing that their life has been disarrayed by people who never knew them, people whom they never knew to even get hated by them is a feeling that is irritating and even more than that its a helpless situation.You don't know whom to blame.You start blaming the religion, the region of the people.It is strange, it is unexplainable...
Yes human life is like that, love hatred and remorse are emotions that fill their life.And as the theory of balanced forces says , everything should have a negative alter ego to balance it.Like darkness for light, satan for god, hell for heaven there should be hatred to show the worthiness of love in this world.
Brought up in a civilized environment,I might not have gone through what these so called terrorists, who are fighting a jihad against the non believers, against people who have taken over their land unjustly, against people who have done injustice to their fellow muslim brothers, might've gone through,but i certainly know and advocate that violence and hatred is not a solution, its only a slow method to end everything.
I haven't read the Holy Khuran.But with all due respect to the holy book , which I have heard from a muslim friend of mine as a guideline to respectful living, the wordings of which hav been contorted and twisted by men of different ages to their advantage.The emerging Islam extremism is just another evil interpretation of the ideas expressed in the book.
Coming back to hatred, yes someone who has lived his whole life without knowing love, bearing hatred and renounciation in every single stage of his life,its hard for him not to turn up into an extremist.Yes he's supposed to hate and despise everything that gave him a life like that.He feels he needs to terminate and hamper anything that put him in such a situation.But why does he think negatively?Why does he try to make the life of more people, who may be innocent, who may have done him ,not even wished him any harm, miserable?
Life is such a short beautiful gift from god.Why couldn't he make life better for one person rather than bring wrath upon hundreds?Instead of spreading the hatred among hundred why doesn't he make life easy for a bunch, he would get even greater happiness being a perpertrator of happiness than the harbinger of death and hatred.By helping one person and by making his life better he would not only be saving himself from the crime of killing many ,but also groom a generation with the sweet memories of love and not on the sourness of hatred that seems to spread everywhere.
Being brought up in a calm and quiet environment which had education as the chief priority and where there was no shortage of love or happiness, may be I am not qualified enough to talk about the minute nuances of terrorism and its effects and solution for it. But all the while ,I think I am eligeble to say that all this hatred wouldn't do the world any good.Evilness and hatred can never bring love and peace to the people who are looking for solutions for their problem.These haphazard actions are a series of blunders, that would only breed hatred and more hatred and nothing more.
I have always learnt to love , never to hate ,not even my enemy. Life hadn't brought to me all the hardships that might've been inflicted on many of the hapless victims of terrorism. But I feel for them ,their losses are like my losses. I appeal to the world to learn to love to live and let live. Let this world be ruled by love and compassion to the fellow beings in the years to come.I would be elated if my write up changed the life of atleast one person , who was in the path of destruction and hatred. Praying before the god for a better future to the world and bigger heart for the terrorists, I close my pen.
