Being in Jalandhar for the past few days, I realised how close are we to the Dark Ages..?? Hearing ppl screaming and shouting for help... seeing buses go ablaze... windowpanes of the cars being samshed like anythg... coming to know 2000 ppl locked up in Haveli(jst 5 mins from my house)... A train being put on fire(jst 3 kms from my place)... Ppl moving around with open swords(in front of me)... Shops being ransacked... Railway Stations, Bus Stands being stranded... It was all that mst have put each and evry Jalandharian to shame... And Punjabiyat too... And this is certainly not what we are known for??
Seeing all this from so close, A shiver runs down my spine and I m forced to ask myself...
Do we really need a religion at all??
And this is one question which will be raised evry time such an incident happens again... Though I dun hv deep knowledge of what all religions preach, but I can certainly say that none of them preaches voilence...
Fighting on the basis of the religion can have dangerous repercussions... Punjab suffered a loss of around 7000 crores in these four days... This is nothing but the result of our Mental Bankruptcy... Nothing happened in Chandigarh because people there are educated..
Here I have a question to ask ppl responsible for it... If you were so enraged by the shooting incident, Why didnt u board a flight to Vienna and took ur revenge there? Why did you choose to hold a voilent protest here and destroy public property? What was the fun of setting buses on fire? What did u want to show by locking up 2000 ppl in Haveli and smashing their cars outside? And did setting ablaze a train give u some Param Vir Chakra?? And the most important question... Did this serve ur purpose? Are you happy now?
These are the few questions that have to be answered in days to come... With this I leave it to all those who come across my post to read and decide for themselves... Again I have the same question..
