Meandering life…

So what is happening to India and the world? Are we experiencing the sophisticated version of the 1930- 40 era?
Why are we branding a community for a few ‘black sheep’ and allowing the political parties to design our thoughts according to their convenience? We have stopped thinking, the only thing that bothers us today is how to earn more, live luxuriously and enjoy expensive vacations…
I saw ‘Wednesday’ yesterday…and yes, we are the stupid common man who has adjusted to every wrong and despicable activity taking place around us. We are ok with not going out and enjoying ourselves without fearing another bomb attack or talking to a stranger…we are ok with glancing suspiciously at a person wearing a safa, topi or dawning a beard…but why are we not ok with coming out of our comfort zone and asking the power hungry people to end the politics of terrorism? Utter ridiculous…then we blame the bajrang dals, secularists, communists and the SIMIs of the world…if they are doing what they think is right…why are we sitting like nincompoops and letting them do what they wish to.
Why are we ok with ethnic cleansing, conversion and re- conversions, caste killings, rapes and murders…why have they become a part of our daily lives and newspapers? Why have we allowed the ‘religionisation’ terrorism and ‘communalisation’ of its combat?
Are we heading towards a world war ? I see their mini- version happening already…hasn’t our lives become like that of the mosquito, living with the fear of being squashed by the bombs, religious-socio- cultural violence, road accidents…
Why am I living it and what’s the purpose of my life now? May be its time we take history seriously and bring it out from its coffin before we end up like the past!

Rock On!
