The urgent need for peace and sanity.

[Jagannath Chatterjee]

Dear Friends,   Let us pray that our country rises to the occasion and peace prevails. Now is the time to unite and not fight. We are all intelligent people. Let us respond intelligently.   May Mother India prevail on ALL her children to forge universal brotherhood.  Remember; united we stand, divided we fall.   "ISHWAR ALLAH TERO NAAM SABKO SANMATI DE BHAGAWAN"   SARVE BHAVANTU SUKHINA....   With earnest prayers, Jagannath.   From: "tayyabaabidin" tayyabaabidin@... ate: Wed Mar 8, 2006  2:16 am Subject: Re: Hindus and Muslims.

As the bomb blast in a temple in Varanasi sends the whole of UP on high alert ,for possible communal disturbances and the news before that of communal riots marring the picturesque landscape of Goa - sent a chill down my spine, I turned for solace, not towards the words of Politicians or Policemen of the country, but towards the words of the members of the Indian society on various networks. I feel a country need not give up hope so long as there exists a society which has a conscience and has an inward monitor which refuses to endorse evil and wickedness. Being a member of various and diverse groups on the net and reading the views of the members of the Indian society, I can well say that I have full faith in our enlightened society which discriminates between wickedness and virtue, taking offence at all cruel acts.I think it is a great blessing of God to this country, which has defused lessons of love and understanding through Sanskrit, Hindi, Persian and Urdu. Where Mahatma Gandhi gave the call of truth and Ahinsa to the world at large; where profuse literature is available on all religions and humanitarianism in hundreds of languages. I have palpated the true worth of human life and dignity in these messages of hope and love by the Indian community, whether they are of any religion or creed or caste. When such anti-national activities of terrorism are committed, India can only give one message to the world - not by its Politicians or its government but by the common Indian- the modern man who realises the dignity of human life and so enjoins in the service of humanity, endorsing the equality of human beings as the creation of one Omnipotent God. Such a sublime message can only come from the people of India - where our rich heritage instils in us a sense of human dignity . I appeal to my non-Muslim friends , particularly the educated and the Intellectuals, to save the country from frightful anarchy and moral depression which is fast spreading in the country. I also appeal to my Muslim friends, that they should give up the misconception that the responsibility for India's prosperity lies mainly on the shoulders of the majority community or the political party which holds the reigns of the government.In fact, we the Muslims of India, can play a pivotal role in bringing about a healthier social order in our homeland. Our tenets and teachings already provide us guidance to do so.

dear friends
all these blasts and panic had occurred in my home town, so
today i know very how dirty these political leaders are. Immediately
after the bomb blasts it was the public which came into action and not
the police. People present at those sites (particularly at sankat
mochan mandir) immediately took injured to the nearby hospitals (thank
god two big hospitals of the city were very near to site) on the doors
(as stretchers were not available).
people were expressing there anger towards the culprits
and only towards them.But the moment the news of blasts reached CM
mulayam singh yadav his statements were " hum ninda karte hai......"
and then he announced as usual " marne wale ko 5 lakh aur ghayalo ko 1
lakh.."
i have already written in previous posts about this
rate fixing tendency of government, which they immediately announce
without first going to the people and giving solace to the sinking
hearts.
The worst of all they immediately start doing politics. The
next day after the blasts that is on wednesday i was on the streets
doing to & fro between cantt. and sankat mochan due cbse board exams of
my sister, when i saw BJP activists ( mostly young boys, appearing like
Gunda) were threatening shopkeepers to shut down. People of the city
were calm but these ugly creatures have already started to spoil the
mood of city.
Then leaders of various political parties
started coming to grab this great oppurtunity, we kashi waashi know it
all. They are good for nothing they are just waisting the money of our
country.
