The quote ‘Violence is the last refuge of the
incompetent’ best explains the murders of Sarbajit and Sanaullah.
To think that for some this is how justice is
defined is reflective of the state of humanity we are living in and it’s
shameful. There is no justification for this attitude. This mentality is both horrifying and sad.
Countries like India & Pakistan are already
facing a plethora of issues and instead of adding to the list, it is better
that we look for solutions collectively. Our problems range from the very basic
to the extreme complexities. A big percentage of our population doesn’t even
have access to the basic necessities of life. Incidents like these are not
going to add to the fuel of mistrust and hatred.
‘When one man dies, it’s a tragedy, but when many
people die, it’s a statistic’.
It is sad that with all that rage between these two
countries, there are a lot of things where we stand at the same level, &
the state of human rights in both countries is one such common feature. Neither
side can claim that they are the champions of human rights and at times the
situation gets really disappointing.
However, in this madness the rays of hope come from
individuals within our societies, the small acts of individuals that represent
all that is the essence of humanity. This is when the solution becomes clear.
The need is for the proper implementation of the laws that are already there
for the equal rights and protection of humanity in most of the cases. Like many
other things that are there on paper but not practiced, here too the results
are painfully obvious.
It is high time that those responsible get their act
right, as the stakes are extremely high.
