Woke to a wonderful Sunday morning….while lying in the bed I just picked the mobile to see the time..11:11...Wow……That’s a perfect Sunday morning anyone could ever think of…You jealous..I bet you are…but Laziness got the better of me…I just turned the other side to find the newspaper at the pillow…One look at the front page and I was ashamed of my selfish attitude…Here I am enjoying my day...Waking lazily to see the morning sun…and there are people being burnt alive…families striving to survive…
Shocked!! How conveniently we decide what to think and what not to think …
On the front page of the newspaper was a picture showing a guarded Baptist church and fire burning around it… I was really disturbed to see the current situation in Koraput district of Orissa where people have ran for their lives to take shelter in a forest…because the mobs (VHP “Leaders” to be precise… ) have torched the entire village (where Christians lived)..To “protest” against the murder of their local leader “swami Laxmananand” The “angry” mobs burnt down an orphanage…a lady was burnt alive…it was not enough to avenge the revenge so they burnt the churches..Villages…burnt a 35 yr old man (handicapped) in front of his helpless family members…
What revenge they are taking...Fuelling fire; revenge, angst, hatred in people’s hearts for each other on the basis of community…Does being a Hindu or being a Christian or being a Muslim make you a better person than the other...… Do these communities teach better lessons than the common universal laws of humanity...or they do but self proclaimed guards of the religion (be it VHP or SIMI or any other organization) conveniently use the laws of their religions to fuel their thirst for power …
I apologize if I hurt someone’s religious sentiments but I am sure no religion teaches you to kill or burn people for your own personal interest or for that matter “For the so-called common welfare of the religion”
God is benevolent…he forgives…he wants us to love each other and live peacefully….and what a mockery...These communal leaders do to “please” God
Ha…What an irony…These 50 yr old men ….these “pure” messengers of God brainwash thousand of youth in the garb of religious sentiments.. For being in office for “5 yrs”
For their political career of 20-30 yrs… (I am sure they will be killed before that...Courtesy the hatred which they have planted in people…)…they divide people on the basis of community…they destroy so many lives leaving so many orphans…so many children permanently reveling under the shock of seeing their own parents being brutally murdered in front of their own eyes(can you even imagine that!!!)…Their fault: they belong to a different “minority” community…
These political leaders will die in another 20-30 yrs…they won’t live for long…but the perpetual harm they have done to country’s harmony will last generations and centuries…
I am not a christian..not a christian supporter or not even a Hindu protester...but above all this I feel I am a human being...I can't kill a fellow human ...

How can their conscience let them sleep after seeing the crying children and torched bodies…..
I feel terribly sorry at the ongoing state of affairs in the country … Not even god can help this country and the people…

As long as people who can distinguish between right and wrong exist there's a hope and a reason left.
ReplyDeleteThe only solution to this problem is to feed the good dog inside us.
May be somethings could be resolved if people would realize that every fight in the world is more due to materialistic reasons rather than religious.
ReplyDeleteEducating people so that they don't fall into the trap of these policians is the way we should take.
I agree..it's too sad to see people killing each other in the name of God & religion....A perfect example of how selfish & how low men can get..to seek justification for the brutality & dirty politics in the name of God..
