Like scores of other corporate slaves in the city of Hyderabad, I too get to read the actual newspaper only on weekends. And a good part of my day goes to Google news, and the other news websites it redirects to.
Was reading up an article on "Terrorists dressed as Pak soldiers attack Indian army post: 5 Indian Jawans killed", which was soon followed by a video by some news channel, showing a "protest rally" against Pakistan.
The people in the video belonged to a national political party and were shouting anti-Pakistan slogans and burning a huge flag of Pakistan.
That got me thinking.....
We should never burn flags! Whatever the reason, burning a flag is never the solution. Imagine the effect it has on the millions of people across the border who see this video. (Or imagine how bad you'd feel if the Indian national flag was being burnt in a video in Pakistan - Would you even care to look for why those people were doing it?)
Burning flags doesn't really make a difference! You think it will deter terrorists from planning other attacks? or will it awaken the government from it's power-crazy sleep to focus on these issues?
My Genuine doubt: WHERE DO THESE POLITICAL PEOPLE GET THEIR PAKISTAN FLAGS??? DO THEY KEEP STOCK? I mean, do they order online and stack up say 50 flags?
"What ??? Pakistan terrorists killed our jawans? here take these two flags, burn one near the parliament, and one near Chandni chowk... "
"That Pakistani cricketer commented on an Indian batsman??? Here, burn this flag with an effigy of that Pak cricketer."
"We are running out of flags to burn... have e-bay deliver more of these in a couple of days!"
And do people realize that these are the same videos that are used by terrorist outfits to mislead kids and young adults in madrassas... "See that? They are burning our flags! Doesn't that make you angry??"
And young Kasab was filled with fury... He resolved at that moment that he would avenge this insult to his motherland!!!
Gandhi never burnt a single British Flag! Then how come people say they are Gandhians and are protesting peacefully, burning flags? Someone has to oversee these protests and tell people how not to protest!
Maybe the judiciary would take a look at it? Oh no... They are too busy denying bail petitions of a few politicians and acquitting a few others, telling med students that their hard work for a national exam is useless coz they can't rule against the millions earned by private medical institutes, telling the govt that it should not exercise influence over investigating agencies etc etc.....
I was about to say God save my nation from these fools, when a voice from the skies shouted "NO!!! That is too much to ask! I can't take such kind of pressure anymore!!"
