Bomb
blast in Pune, Train accident in Andhra pradesh, buses fell into a gorge in
Jammu and Kashmir are the tragic news of last 2- 3 days. If we flash back the
recent past, there was Mulleperiyar issue between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Kaveri
water sharing issue between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, Kasarargod issue,
Endosulfan issue in Karnataka and Kerala, Belgaum issue between Karnataka and Maharashtra, Mining issue between Andhra
Pradesh and Karnataka, Vidarbha issue in Maharashtra, Telangana issue in
Andhra, Naxalism in Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgargh, Odisha, Bhopal gas tragedy’s
after effect are still continuing, unresolved Gujarat riot case, Khap panchayat
and its new rules on women in Uttar Pradesh, Gorkha issue in West Bengal, violence
in Assom, Naga issue in Nagaland, disturbance from China in the border of
Arunachal Pradesh, unresolved AFSPA issue in Manipur and continued fast of Irom
Sharmila, protest against Salman Rushdie in Rajasthan, everyday rapes,
molestations and murders in Delhi and NCR regions, Bhakra water sharing issue
between Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, violence in Manesar of Haryana, unheard
appeal of Kashmiri Pandits, death of more than 90 people in Amarnath yatra in
Jammu and Kashmir and so on are the sad stories of Indian subcontinent. The
whole India is facing deficit in railfall. There is a semi drought condition in
many areas.
India and its
neighbours:
India’s relations with Sri Lanka ruined after it backed the
sanctions of USA, the relations with Pakistan has not improved much, Nepal is
still in unstable condition, relations with Myanmar is not laudable, Teesta
water sharing issue between India and Bangladesh, conflict with China on China sea issue and its insurgent
activities in the border etc. are the additions to the list of bitter truths.
World view:
If we see continent wise also, we
can see lot many disturbed condition in the world. The relation between China
and South East countries has gone bad due to the issue of China sea, there were
instability in Fiji, Afghanistan needs lot many years to recover from the
downfall, frequent natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, conflict
between citizens and the state on the issue of nuclear plants in Japan,
anti-Putin movements in Russia, Arab spring, sanctions on Iran, people living
in Syria with bombs blasting every now and then as if the celebration of
Deepavali is going on!, still continuing Israel – Palestine fights, sufferings
of people in Gaza strip etc. are the major negative events happening in Asia
continent.
Euro
crisis is one of the major set back for the whole world’s economy. Default of
Greek, debt burden on Italy, Spain, Germany, France and other Euro members,
Libor scam in England etc. are the hot news.
If we
see Africa, it is also not better than any other continent. Somalia pirates are
causing so many troubles to the ships moving through that area, so many
countries are suffering with hunger and poverty, high level of infant
mortality, maternal mortality is seen, no health facilities, conflict between
North Sudan and South Sudan, disturbances in Mali, Libya, Nigeria etc. have
made Africa too turbulent.
America
has problems of unemployment, recently innocent people at the screening of
batman, lack of rain and hence food crops etc.
Antarctica
and Arctic regions are badly hit due to global warming. Snow melting has been
recorded at a very faster rate. It may lead to the rising of the level of sea
and other natural calamities. It is a well known fact scientists have noticed a
hole in the ozone layer in Antarctic region.
What can we do now?
We must
be aware of the fact that we are not going to live in this world permanently.
Instead of having conflicts within us, it is better to live in peace. In the
given short life span, let us try to do as much good deeds as possible. The
world will remember Swami Vivekananda as well as Osama Bin Laden. The former
will be praised for his constructive contributions where as the later will be remembered
with a blame for his sinful action of killing thousands of people. It is for us
to decide how we should be remembered by this world. It is easy to destroy
something but it is not so easy to construct it again. What is there to achieve
by having grudge with some one? Let us live like brothers and sisters. Let us
build harmony. Let us do some collective actions which will have positive
consequences. We are not going to gain anything by humiliating some one or
killing some one or. It is our duty to provide good, peaceful, less prejudiced
environment for the younger generation. Let us be ambitious, but not selfish.
If someone is performing better than us, let us appreciate their abilities and
not have jealous about them. Let us understand our own limits and accomplish
whatever we can. Fighting for status, prestige will actually bring our respect
down. Let us unite together and work for the nation, work to save our mother
earth. Unless we protect our nature, it won’t protect us!! It is our duty to
make the theme of this day,”protecting one another irrespective of the caste, creed , race, religion, rich, poor etc.” to be true.
Happy Raksha bandhan to all my brothers and sisters.
