India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic diversity and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved multifaceted socio-economic progress during the last 60 years of independence.But then this is not the true picture. We have created an unhealthy atmosphere by mixing caste and creed and the partition and revolts we've had.
What difference does it make?
writing articles, conducting debates, talk shows and tea summits might gave us city people something new to talk about but it would make no difference whatsoever to any Kahmiri living in the remote corner of Kashmir breathing in an air filled with terror, surrounded by gun shots and overtaken by the fear of getting killed at any moment or would it quench the thirst of those 100s of terrorists who are waiting like hungry vultures to destroy innocent lives.
Does all these media and political hype in any context do us "people" any good; the answer is a big NO
We know that it is not easy to achieve all the brotherhood needed overnight but don't you think we could all start afresh?
After all drop by drop the ocean is filled. Why do we sit in front of the television sets like drug addicts, because we want to be involved, because we want to 'know' and because we want to help but clearly we all know that our contribution towards the betterment of the society is zilch.
I know that there is probably no point of me writing all this but I will be happy if anyone is inspired by this and thinks he or she could attain that brotherhood, love, and that peace in his own little circle of life which can make all the difference to him and to his fellow beings. Then in my view that will be person to whom the words "Communal Harmony" would hold true meaning.
