Let Us Awake To The Real Challenges
Whatever comes out of the pen of an author has a reason behind it. And the reason why I am publishing this post is as quoted: While I was going through various pages of a Social Networking Site, I engaged into a serious COMMUNAL discussion with SIKH GENTLEMEN. Let me tell you here the topic of discussion 1984 RIOTs and the events that followed later. I was shocked to see how well-versed and aware people were so radical and fundamentalist. As expected I had to face their wrath but I dont accuse them for anything because they just know what they were told by others. Why do we not want to come out of our ugly past and make our thinking more liberal and progressive. This communal hatred wont take us anywhere instead it will drag us away from the path of harmony, peace and progress. We do realise the potential threats across borders from Pakistan and China but what about these internal threats which may someday take the shape of a civil war? I know Civil War is a bit exaggeration of the whole thing but History suggests these issues often turn into big conflicts. Why dont we realise that common man like you and me want to live in harmony? Politicians make you and me fight and stupid us play into their hands. More stupid of us that we dont realise these things even after 25 years.

Its true that its been 25 in fact 26 years now but there is a thing which is same just like the way it was then , Communalism is always brought up by politicians and they are the ones who benefit from it.The public has always been the victim of these political games and in a country like ours where even today issues like this are brought up we are way far from the Developed Nations where these issues are secondary.
ReplyDeletei really appreciate ur valuable comments karan. I wish evry1 starts thinking the way u take the things
ReplyDeleteसही कहा प्रदीप।
ReplyDeleteagreed ..... actually people are still not open to the new ideas... they live the same old way because of the mind set that has been created so far by the so called leaders.. who have unfortunately lead the public in the wrong direction....
ReplyDelete'cause even if any person try to oppose them ... he/she ends up being suppressed by the society at large....
UNLess the thinking gets liberal the country wouldnt be able to progress....
the society needs a change of attitude... it can happen only if the youth start thinking in the right direction....
very well said..we are just mere puppets in the cruel hands of these politicians..nevertheless these are our selected ones only...i dont know till when will this disharmony overrule our rich heritage and our emotional powers..if the scenario doesnt improve soon and thngs dont change for the good it can really take india back on the path of communal disgrace and disharmony......
ReplyDeletecommunal-ism on this matter ?? Sikhs had problem with government of that time ....... maybe of this time too for not being compensated well. But if you are saying they are against a particular community or something because of what happened ...... then either they are being stupid or we are not well informed !
