love thy neighbour

i don't remember from where I heard this sentence " love thy neighbour". And trust me, for the first time i liked the idea, but as i started growing up and my mind started understanding the things happening around me, i couldn't stop myself disliking this idea. It all started from kashmir, i was kid at that time and my home was almost 2000 miles away from the field of action and it hardly affected me that much because I was not that enough grown up to understand it . But slowly and eventually the fire started spreading across and before anyone could even realize the whole noth east India started burning down. I still remember the day. I was in standard 4th or 5th and classes used to get over by 11:30 in the morning. Like the other days it was an usuall walk towards my home, when I saw few army vehicles rushing towards the biggest hospital in the city. There was a chaos every where. I could not understand at the first place what was happening. i asked few people stading ther and they told me there was shoot out and army were taking the injured jawan. Next day I cam to know out of 5 only 3 could survive the attack. you knoe everyone of us is having an idea in the mind that this terrorism can never affect me, but i guess the events happening from the past couple of years, the incidents has proven each of us so very wrong. My family, my parents live in west bengal, i stay at bangalore and untill coupe of days back my sister was staying at ahemdabad. It the day of the blast at bangalore and all the phone lines were jammed and finally after agonising 3 or 4 hours I could talk to my parents and the next day there were blasts at ahemdabad. I think I don't need to mention the mental state my parents has gone thru in those two days.Now this incident in Mumbai, ten man killing 200 and the guy cought is hardly having any remorse. Our neighbour, denying each and evrything, calling this fellow stateless. A country which more then 60 govenrnment in the last sixty years is more interested in the betterment of the muslims in India rather minding the fate of her own people. I don't know whether it is the agony with in me or the sheer helpless ness which is making me write this one out. But what ever it is things are not right. I cannot blame any of my neighbours, they will always try to infiltrate but what was my democratically elected government doing. If I am not ready to pay taxes my finance minister is coming up with fundas convincing me why should I be paying the takes and just look around me, I have police which still uses the guns my grandfather used to use. I have minister who is more keen on building the statues rather improving the road near that status. truely speaking the problem is within us because government is not somthing in person, evryone of us is the part of the system. I, me and you evryone is the part of the system. When we have the right to elect the right person to the parliament or even become leader, we don't do this, we the so called emerging Indians are more interested in hanging out at Mac Donalds rather going to the poll booth and vote. Then trust me none of us have the right to say anything to anyone. It was the crop we cultivated and now we wre harvesting it. unless we change, nothing is evr going to change....
