A Timely Reminder

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam

The Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi has said recently on the 13th anniversary of 9/11 that if the United States had heeded Swami Vivekananda’s call for universal brotherhood, America would not have to see that day. We have a point to ponder here.

Vivekananda is no stranger to the US, at least since his historic address at Chicago Congress of World Religions nearly a century and a quarter ago. Fraternity, or brotherhood of humans is the greatest symbol of mutual goodwill, understanding and empathy.

Universal brotherhood implies such a relationship across regions, religions, racial distinctions, civilisational antagonisms and political beliefs. This is the greatest human ideal that is based on equality and justice. The Preamble to the august Constitution of India lays great emphasis on these values for the attainment of real freedom.

The foundations of equality lie in the belief that all human beings are descendants of a single pair of parents and no human being is superior to another human being on the basis of colour, race or nationality. Thus all ideas of racial supremacy are false and reprehensible.

The Prime Minister’s lofty observations give us ground to review the domestic situation also to see how far we have carried the idea of universal brotherhood in this country. Have we achieved equality in any sense? Are all castes and classes treated equally here? We must remember that there can be no brotherhood, universal or local, without equality.

Justice is another corner stone for brotherhood. Have we given justice to the victims of 1984, 2002, 2013, or any other massacre? How can we ensure brotherhood by denying justice to victims of organised, targeted, mass violence? How is it possible?

Can we stop such mass violence without stopping hate speech and poisonous propaganda? Over the last several months there is no respite from round-the-clock vicious anti-Muslim propaganda clearly meant for inciting violence against Muslims.

People as important as the all-India president of BJP, Uttar Pradesh BJP president and state BJP poll coordinator have regularly been accused of inciting anti-Muslim violence on a daily basis. However, nothing has been done about it.

We appreciate the Prime Minister’s emphasis on universal brotherhood. However, we also recognise the fact that what is good for others is good for us. If others need brotherhood, we need it more.

On the contrary, what we have been witnessing in the country is designed not to promote brotherhood but to destroy it. We must set our own house in order before advising others. Otherwise, nobody is going to listen to us as we will have no credibility if hate speech and mass violence become the order of the day.

Bilawal ka Kashmir

Bilawal ka Kashmir

Bilawal Bhutto is in news with his statement "Will take back all of Kashmir", the 'Gen-Next' politician of Pakistan, has said that his Pakistan People's Party (PPP) would get back entire Kashmir from India.heres my take on Bilawal's statement

Bilawal, you won't get an Inch of Kashmir even though we have a weak PM in Modi who is helpless before China and crawling to please them,a big lot is comparing you with Rahul Gandhi which is so wrong, you do have match in India, it's Varun Gandhi and not Rahul Gandhi, i have already treated you like Varun Gandhi......just laugh & move ahead,you are one such baby who thinks Babyoil is made up of babies you both are examples of how dynastic politics produces entitled, idiotic politicians, you both are so dumb it will be the longest event in the world,if you and Varun play chess. and yes at this tender age better you don't mess with India, Save Pakistan first,Wake up. Stop dreaming Kashmir (INDIA). Face the nightmare that's Pakistan, the way Pakistan is progressing, 10 yrs from now you will be promising to get back Sindh, Balochistan & Waziristan, dont try to be the Pakistani Version of Modi by selling Dreams and Exploiting Pseudo Patriotism of Voters.

Beta Bilawal Bhutto are you aware that you were born in in Lady Duffer-in hospital in Karachi. The name has left a lasting impression in your personality on being so duffer when addressing so sensitive issue,you are really so dumb you are not aware what power India has as an Union,we here are peaceful country We work of development of our People, not war. Probably you can't see the innumerable internal issues of your country.Use your money( if u have any of your own) not in wasting effort unsuccessfully towards conquering kashmir but on your people's development, dont forget you are a product of Mr.10% ,not only that you will be unsuccessful in conquering Kashmir, you will be in loss as youe would still have to give 10% to your dad, you have ruined Bhutto tribe by promising to take back every inch of Kashmir. As far as sense is concerned, you have proved yourself to be Below-all Bhutto.you are the person for who the word MENTALLY RETARDED came in existence.

Finally USA had to bear Modi. So if Bilawal Bhutto becomes Pak PM, we will also have to bear him. God save us! Allah Bachaye....
