60 YRS.................????

yesterday whole of India was celebrating her 60th independence day ,60 long years we certainly have come a long way indeed or have way? I mean yes , now we all are one free nation enjoying are freedom but at what cost? we keep telling ourselves and the world that we fought and attained our freedom through non violent methods "ahimsa" but ironic isn’t the very bloodshed and violence we kept away from all along in the nth hour we resort to those very methods.Within a span of few days everything changed strange wasn’t it in this very land were people would just treat you as part of family irrespective of caste/religion, in a land were universal brotherhood wasn’t a distant reality but literally a part of life its here that these very so called humane people ran around slaughtering one another like butchers .The once civilized society was now turning to barbarism why? For what? All in the name of religion the very religion that talks about love,unity,peace.60 years hence things haven’t really changed has it?? We just need that one little outlet, one small incident just that one reason to turn barbaric again don't we? We at present are like calm still waters just waiting patiently to strike back all over again but like they say still waters indeed run deep.
