16 December , yet another date on calendar that we wished had never come. Kids hiding under the chairs, rolling their ties and stuffing in the mouth, so that their scream, scream of great fear can’t be heard. Some writing their exams, believing for a new sunrise of success, a sunrise that never came for those 131 innocent brutally slaughtered in the school of Peshawar.
My helpless heart cried and shouted loud. “Where are you now, Where were you, When Innocence Died in Peshawar?” But asking or questioning the god is a waste of time, it always was and will remain the same.
Two days after that massacre what left was pain, tears and bullet holes on the walls of school and in the heart of those who lost their loved ones. What was the end result of all this, a satisfaction of a successful revenge? The Talibani’s say, it was a revenge for the lives of their people who were killed by the Pakistani Army and wanted the Pakistani Army to feel the same pain.
“An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind,” I never believed this saying from Mahatma Gandhi, I never did and I still don’t, at times you got to fight back, fight like a rebel but not a coward.
This thought at the end of my post will justify my thought,
“Non-violence is backed by the theory of soul-force in which suffering is courted in the hope of ultimately winning over the opponent. But what happens when such an attempt fail to achieve the object? It is here that soul-force has to be combined with physical force so as not to remain at the mercy of tyrannical and ruthless enemy.” – Bhagat Singh
