Dear Mannoj Padhi, You might have written or forwarded the following explanation to teh degrees as a way of fun. I consider the Jharkhand group a serious one with broad mind and heart. On the one side we are all troubled by the Mumbai attack and other attacks on the innocents all over the world. But it is very childish and immature to make fun of certain nations for the incidents done by some individuals. Please remember that there are hunreds of thousands of Pakistanis who feel very painful to what has happened. There are thousands of Pakistanis brothers adn sisters who are totally against the attack of innocents in Mumbail, just as there are thousands and thousands of Indian Muslims who undergo the pain of some of their mulsim brothers who are misled by certain individuals and groups. It is important that we consciously avoid blaming a religoin or nation or a community in general for what a handful of individuals have done. We are all together in searching a way out to end fundamentalism and terrorism whether it is in Pakistan or India or Isreal or US. There aer certainlyl various types of using terrorism. However, I think that it is immature to use this quotes of digrees even for fun or pass time at the expense of pakistanis. We need to transcend our tendencies towards narrow nationalism under the name of partiorism when we have a deeper and broader responsibility towards welfare of all, Sarvodaya, which our great Ancestors have lived and taught. It is not just Jai Hind - Victory to India but Jai Jagat, Victory to teh Universe!! Let all beings be happy, you, me, and all animate and inanimate beings. This way, you will soon find yourself a good neighbour and a friend in a Pakistani and he or she will find in you a good friend from India. In the same way, our motherland India will be a friendly country to Pakistan and this will help both our country to plan together about our socio-economic welfares. One day will come when Pakistan and India will teach the world how to live as friends. when Pakistanis and Indians will have regular exchange programmes when we will cancel all our expenses spent on border disputes and save that money to social welfare when Indians will offer their voluntary service to help pakistani people and Pakistani people will come to help our country when pakistan and india will remove the necessity of passport and visa to visit each other coutnries. when the youth and children of our countries will have joint meetings, games and funs and picnics together... That day is possible, if we dream and work together for that. it is Possible.
It is our responsibility to actualise this. Or else, we will leave our countries in the hand of the politicians who will continue to keep us as enemies and spend our tax money to build arms and weapons and keep us in fear and in enmity. The choice is ours now. |
