As 3 days of mourning gets over in
Pakistan so will be the hopes that this tragedy is going change anything in
Pakistan or will this change anything for the sympathizers of terrorism across
the world. The ranting will go on and the lovers of jihad in the name of
religion will find new reasons to kill and spread mayhem. And for them they
will keep finding some reasons to keep going, sometimes the reason will be
Iraq, sometimes Israel, and sometimes Kashmir, gujrat etc. That Pakistan will
now be using terror victim card more than ever and will play politics over
these dead kids is no guess. The narrative will change but not the agenda. For
distortion is so deep into their psyche and hatred so rooted in their thoughts
that no less than a messiah will be needed cleanse that. But even a messiah
needs someone's call and no one is complaining here, it will be business as
usual. This was coming and will keep coming in the coming years for when a
nation names its missiles as gauri and ghaznavi they forget that the piece of
land they live on was tyrannized by same ghauri and ghaznavi's. That when a
nation on the banks of Indus tries to find out its root in the invaders coming
from foreign land who plundered their land you don't know to laugh on them or
cry for them. For who will stand against the terrorists when the nation is
ferried in special run trains to hear Hafez saeed.
16th Dec was no ordinary day. On this
day in 1971 it became clear that east Pakistan would become a new nation ,
After millions of rapes and massacre Bangladesh was born, if they didn't learn
then what they will learn now. They choose to believe in conspiracy
theories then and even now it will be easier to live in denial because truth
has the tendency to ask difficult questions. Taliban says we did this because
you killed our families, isn’t this the same reason they give to support
terrorism in India to kill innocents. Is it not the same poisonous theory they
used to feed in the minds of their kids? Today that same poison has taken them
away. Did they had any sympathy for the yazdis that were massacred in Iraq,
were they not children of anyone were they not innocent, were the 166 people
killed in Mumbai not innocent. They will have many more of such uncomfortable
questions, and to arrive at an answer they will have to answer each one of
them, it will therefore be better to live in denial. People had warned them
that when you keep snakes in your backyard one day they do come to bite you but
who cares. The army owns the nation and the nation do not seem to care, who are
we then to reason them? When even a hockey match win is celebrated as a war
between civilizations and when no reason is a reason enough then what happens
is a tragedy.
And back home in India there were
candle light vigils against Israel earlier but then now against whom those
candle light vigils will be taken up ... Taliban, Pakistan, ISI or terrorism in
name of religion. But let’s not worry they will find out an answer to this
also. An attempt will be made by the so called secularists to draw a line
between Good Taliban -bad Taliban, Pakistan and terrorism and blur the line
between freedom of speech and freedom to spread the agenda of hatred. Men from
congress were crying for the rights of free speech of Mehdi Masroor Biswas,
they will have more job at hand.
The question is should we sympathize
with them when they themselves don't sympathize with themselves, well we can't
avoid we want to live for hope, we want to stand with them in this hour of
grief, we don't want to pose these uncomfortable questions at this moment, we
don't want them to answer this to the world but then they do need to ask these
questions to themselves and get a clear answer in their hearts because only
that could be a true tribute to the innocents who never lived long enough .And
somewhere in our hearts we want to believe that things will change , it’s our
dream but before we start believing in our own dreams that this will change
something and waste too much of time on that lets make our border stronger
because the moment the mourning will be over the firing on the borders will
start.
