Agitation in Mumbai against the riots happening in Myanmar ....
Recently i read one article in The Hindu "Our heart must bleed for everyone... not just for Muslims"
This article, (as it was clearly visible) will certainly raise few
eyebrows but we need to accept this fact that we Indians (Whether
Muslims, Hindu or anyone) are taking things for granted. we are so
Role of Media:
Initially the media was sleeping as always (Every one knows why). But when story got bigger .... they rushed to the sites and did the same damage which was done @ 2002 godhara riots.....
and the thing which happened after these news flashes will be the most disturbing image of our already deteriorating communal harmony.
this is seriously a big challenge to figure out where is this country heading ... Cause if the situation continues like this, the time is not very far when we will come at the same cross roads where we were during time of our independence...
I hope there will be a better tomorrow for our shattered present...

This article, (as it was clearly visible) will certainly raise few
eyebrows but we need to accept this fact that we Indians (Whether
Muslims, Hindu or anyone) are taking things for granted. we are so
vocal about petty issues happening @ some corner of the world that we
are not even focussed to think about our own issues. "If it rains in
Palestine we open our umbrellas here in India".
the author has connected the issue with one particular religion and i
don't think why should't we accept that !!!
People are crying their eyes out for killing of Muslims in Assam and Myanmar, but not a single protest in this country has happened for the BODOs who have suffered equally in this carnage .... We are so damn divided in our communal barriers that our feelings and support has got shrunk in our mental shell...
I want to draw the attention of readers towards some issues which
happened in past. for example statues of Buddha were vandalised in open
daylight and there was not a single violent protest in India cause
people knew it's actually futile to protest against the things which
are neither in our control nor under our influence. in similar way take example of recent killings
in Gurudwara in US. did any Indian protest in-front of US embassy in
India?? But when there is a riot against Muslims in Myanmar we are destroying lord Buddha statue in Lucknow, killing our own brothers from north-east, vandalizing Amar jawan jyoti in Mumbai ..... If caught the culprit should not be treated like common criminal but a damn terrorist who is trying to kill our secular image, who is killing the very spirit of the origin of our great nation..
Remember "there is no prosthetic to an amputated spirit"

to sum this all up...
The problem is we still connect more to our religion rather then the country. the day we will start giving priority to our nation above our religion caste creed or sex, India will become a better place to live and prosper.
I am a maithil bramhin hindu
i didn't choose to be the same
i inherited it....But i am proud of it's traditions and way of living
and i give equal respect to other's in the same manner i give to my upbringing (be it my caste , religion, sex or place of origin)
I hope there will be a better tomorrow for our shattered present...
