Tits & Bits

Starting on a lighter note...That Astrologers had some say in deciding at what exact hour India would get Independence did had a positive impact when we see Pakistan in tatters today which deliberately choose to have a different Hour for Independence than that of India.


Last week I watched two documentaries,One 'Dispatches' (By a pakistani Female Journalist) on Pakistani Taliban and Other one 'Story of India' by BBC.

It was evident from 'Dispatches' that the threat of Terrorism has assumed new proportions with almost a whole generation of pakistani kids aspiring to be a Suicide Bomber. Partly due to extreme hopelessness for future and partly due to wrong policies of United States.Specially for India,some overhaul in policies pertaining to pakistan seems a must.Use of brute force has its limitations, more so when you have the whole generation of a nation as larger as pakistan aspiring to fight against you.India needs to engage civilians of pakistan on a much more broader scale and specially should help build the democratic institutions as media and judiciary.

The neighbouring Island Nation is facing a grave humanitarian crisis and it's time everyone including the governments and the opponent organisations realise the Importance of human lives.I had some disturbing pics of the atrocities committed by Sri Lankan Army on innocent civilians including kids and women,but those pics were so horrible,that I refrained from posting it here.
There are times in history when being silent can cost you being labelled as 'callous' by coming generations.Anyone who doesnot raise his\her voice against the Sri Lankan Government today faces that risk.
As a government, the first and foremost task should be to ensure the safety of its civilians irrespective of their ethnicity.On the contrary,Sri Lankan government today is engaged in ethnnic cleansing of tamil population in the disguise of eradicating the menace called LTTE.I am not a supporter of LTTE,it's not that i don't sympathise with their cause,but killing of innocent civilians cannot be justified no matter how great the cause may be.If LTTE was at the wrong side of humanity in all these years,the Sri Lankan government is walking that extra mile today to cover up and I would not be wrong if I say, has managed to surpass LTTE.
