A single statement made by one of my office colleagues opened my eyes to the world we live in....it made me think we have forgotten all the sacrifices made by our soldiers and policemen to protect our country....i always used to think....that we the youth are the future of india and looking at the youth participation in the rally held at gateway of india corroborated my thinking.....
A couple of us friends were having evening snacks (awful to say the least) in our canteen and we were discussing the terror attacks....and the solution proposed by friend who is well educated and a sophisticated person....."genocide of the entire muslim community"....for 2 mins i could not grasp wat was said....i felt disgusted to the core tat i was sitting next to a person like this....nonetheless i had a fight with this lady.....but left before i said somethin which would vitiate the atmosphere....
Just because certain radicals have created problems does not mean you need to belittle the entire community....one of my closest friends is a muslim....i never felt this way for her....i attended her wedding and was made a part of her family....i never felt left out or a miscast there....
I felt that day that my participating in the rally was no use...if this is wat my peer group thinks then i am not proud to be a part of them.....i just feel that our fight is not against the community but against the radicals who are dividing our lifes...so let that radical be a certain Raj Thackeray or some muslim radical.....
We dont need a Hitler to cause a genocide but a Obama to make some drastic changes.....
