“Hindu Law Board offers Rs 51 cr for killing M F Hussain”
“Uttar Pradesh Minister announced a cash reward of Rs 51 crore to the person beheading the Danish cartoonist.”
Whats happening in India? I feel as if India, the land known for peace, non-violence and hospitality seems to have turned into Wild Wild West, straight out from Client Eastwood movies, where we could see the “wanted dead or alive” posters declaring cash rewards on the fugitives head and the cow-boys killing the fugitives for the cash reward.I know that cartoons drawn by the Danish cartoonist have hurt the sentiments of the Muslims, and the paintings of Hussain have hurt the sentiments of the Hindus. And its really DISGUSTING & SHAMEFUL ACT from the cartoonist and Hussain and I TOTALLY DESIST their act.
But, is this the way to go about handling such things??
I thought this is the 21st century, where progress in everyfield seems to be the highlight.But looking at such things happening, its sad to say that this cant be termed as PROGRESS..actually it feels we are BACKTRACKING towards stone age in our THOUGHTS and APPROACH towards handling problems.
In the first place, I really don’t understand what pleasure such people like Hussain and the Danish cartoonist get from creating such drawings??Is it just for publicity or are they really wacky in their mind??
Now some might argue, that its FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, but WITH FREEDOM comes RESPONSIBILTY and one must have the maturity of using one’s freedom. The toughest part for me to understand is that these people, who are supposed to be this ‘EDUCATED’ & ‘TALENTED’ people of the society, who are aware of the other religions and live in such a cosmopolitan places, which comprises of people from different places, cast and creed, fail to understand that their doings can cause so much of turbulence and unrest in the whole of the world. Why don’t such ‘educated’ people understand that so many riots and killings in different parts of the world because of one drawing is just NOT WORTH IT.
All that I can do is pray to God Almighty to give such people little sense, and hope and pray that people don’t take up such crude & uncivilized ways of resolving issues.

yeah that was a really nice write up! I certainly agree with your view point
Good write-up maga. You made your point of view very clear. And that is quite an achievement. :o)
I see you are slowly shifting from your opinions about yourself to opinions about others. The question is - can the latter be approached with the same abandon and spontaneity as the former?
