Its been a decade since the civil war between LTTE and the government of Srilanka has started and many a times I come across new channels to see the toll of victims going high and high.
And it was few days back, when one of my friend in 360 came and told me that he is saddened by the death of one of the person he admired. After conveying my condolence, I asked him who that person is and he said it was about a LTTE leader who died in the bombing the other day!
The first thought in my mind was “Those who live by the sword would die by it”. Didn’t want to tell this to my friend but just couldn’t stop asking him being an Indian why he was so sad about this story... he had two reasons to say “ As a human I just feel for the other humans” – I felt this is quite normal. However, his next statement just made me ponder a bit “He is the one who was leading fight for Tamilians”
I am not that good at the history part that I can say who is good or bad in the recent happenings in Srilanka… what I know for sure is killing of “Innocent” people is Bad and shouldn’t be happening. My friend was so furious that Indian Government was not doing enough.
I always feel that there are thousands of issues inside India itself which should be resolved first before we move on to help others…unless we are so humanitarian like US who couldn’t stand the misery of people in Iraqu that they invaded that country… not because it had one of the biggest oil reserves in the world J
We have many issues such as poverty, an ever growing population, naxal attacks, terrorism in Kashmir and Sikkim… the list is long. We had our share of luck in the past trying to intervene the fight in Srilanka by which we lost one of national icon.
Infact, I believe it’s the African states which is in much need of humanitarian aid… millions of innocent life’s are sacrificed there …not just by bullets, but out of hunger.
But as always… who cares about Africa!
