Today is World Refugee day
We the general people (Aami Admi) are least concerned about it. Infact with all the pandemonium of urban life we are least bothered about these events. I am still least bothered about the dates, but when thinking about the plight of being refugee I feel that we are in a much better position. How they might feel staying in a foreign country unwillfully? How can one ever forget his place of birth ? Once hearing the term "Refugee" I remembered the plight of Tibetans, Sri Lankan Tamils and Indian Kashmiris (both Hindus and Muslims).
India is about hoem to 250000 refugees. Though out of these refugees who belongs to different nations, communities , etc. I have came accross Tibetans hundred of times and most of the times in restaurants. They have been living here for more than 3 decades. Still the Chinese who occupied Tibet are not even giving them autonomy and None in the world cares a damn about it.
Kashmiri Pandits were butchered in there home country beacause people with malicious intentions sitting accross the border desired to do so..... :(
I don't know about Tibetan or Iraqis ..... But yes , I feel bad looking at the people having their roots based in India being thrashed by some other countries....
I dont like the Gandhian approach by India for issues related to its own people. Also India should take moral responsibility for Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism as these are the three religions which doesn't have majority in any country of the world.People may question me why not christanity, Islam or Buddhism. I dont have anything against any of these. But all of these has some countries with majority of population like Japan,Sri Lanka, China, Thailand (Buddhism), Most of the Middle East Countries, indonesia (islam),US, europe,(christanity).
Now if u think for Jainism, Hinduism and Sikhism , other than Nepal for Hinduism you dont find any country other than India for them. So I strongly believe India should be aggressive regarding people belonging to these religions. It should consider itself similar to Israel which is for Jews. I dont intend in any manner that it should opress any other religion. I just want to say it should act more as saviour for these three religions.
Take for example India should agressively make sure that Turban, which is a holy symbol for sikhs be allowed without any partiallity in any part of the world. India should not be sitting Idle looking at the ethnic Indians in Fiji. Even a person of Fijian ethnicity, Cmdr. Banirama, felt the partiality being done and made a coup. US, EU , Australia and New Zealand have imposed sanctions for this rightfull act of his. This act was for equality, to remove corruption , for justice ( not to let people who tried coup earlier escape from the law). On the other hand, countries with dictator like General Pervez Mushrraf are termed as a soldier of war on Terror. This same country, Pakistan which is responsible for the plights of all people of Jammu & Kashmir (India) and Afganistan. So its clear India should stand up and help people who have roots in India as they have none to lookupto.
Also to add-on, one of the great contributor to this refugee problem is
1> Pakistan ( so called "soldier of War on Terror")
2> India ( Having pessimistic approach towards the problem of refugee, A sitting Elephant)
India never took any aggressive action on pakistan for supporting terrorism in India.And also never heard the humanitarian plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka after the sad demise of Shri Rajiv Gandhi. I am not saying support LTTE, I would say destroy LTTE but support the Tamils in Sri Lanka who are being opressed. Once even in news I saw Sri Lankan Tamil s asked to leave colombo just because they are Tamil. a pure act of ethnic cleansing.
I dont know what made me write this one diverting from the main topic of Refuggee day ....But i dont edit by blogs....
