In quest of peace

Almost 24 hours ago, I watched ‘Parzania’ and the aftermath is that I’m still shivering. I don’t understand religion, nor do I believe in one; I don’t acknowledge discrimination, but I’m shameful to affirm that I witness a huge some! So what do I do? I asked myself. I knocked a several times at the door of the room that my heart locked itself in, being terrified by the fact that some day (if this continues) perhaps I might have to capitulate to a murder-a cold blooded murder in the name of the very fanciful RELIGION. What then? There was no answer but a long grim silence. I waited for a response; I got one at 3 in the morning and it said, “ save me”. This was no hindu joining hands or no muslim on his knees; this was no sikh bowing down or no christian crossing hands; this was a cry of what has long been forgotten, buried and done with-PEACE. It is a huge term and to come to think of it, it has several interpretations, owing to the fact that we are all ‘differently perceptive’. But honestly it isn’t that difficult to exercise, as all it requires is a sense of understanding. I know I’m talking a language too ideal but giving up is not what we’ve learnt from our ancestors. This is the time for us to work; this is the time to practice our ideals. This is time to identify what’s right and what pretence. Now is the time to stop being fooled. I don’t want to believe that nothing can happen. I don’t want to believe I’m meek in front of the “Powerful Chairs”. I don’t want to believe I will be crushed under their feet. I know what has been happening, but I don’t want to be submissive. Before I die I don’t want to look back and regret the fact that I could have made a difference. I don’t want to pretend that I’m strong, but I don’t want to lose this chance of making an attempt. I have no strategic plans, I have no political indulgence. All I have is a dream and I wish to live it. I’m no philosopher; nor m I a seer. I’m a twenty year old girl and I implore the ones who have a heart, enough to be lent for a purpose so keen, to come forward and attempt to reinforce harmony in a nation that is set on the fire, called hatred and disrespect!
