Its Time for Change

Its been couple of days since Pakistan is violating ceasefire along the International Border in the state of J&K. Although ceasefire violation by Pak is a normal routine, this time the situation has intensified. This is because Pak is targeting the civilian population this time. A lot of people have lost their family members, their houses are damaged by the Pak bomb shelling, and their cattles (on whom their life depends) have been killed by the Pak firing.

The present situation is that Pak is firing along 150 villages and 70 BSF posts. People are migrating from these tense areas to the rehabilitation centres at safer places. At some places, a virtual war like situation has prevailed, in fact the situation this time is even worse than the war times. Various people died and a lot more have been injured till now. There has been a massive destruction of houses and other structures in the border villages.


Its really commendable that Indian Army is retaliating with full force. And this is happening for the very first time in the past 10 years. But what makes me tense is the situation is still intensifying. The retaliation is not solving the purpose, people are dying, they are losing and that's too in both the countries. Pakistan is just increasing the level of its shameless acts. So I can clearly say that its not the right solution.

I just read today two women of same family died in a village during the shelling. But the worst thing is that they cant be cremated now because all their family members are injured and admitted to the hospital. Besides this news, I read a statement made by our PM Narendra Modi that "Everything will be fine soon." Although I admire him a lot and I know he can't change the mindset of Pak Army but I really want to ask..."Is it so?" Is it possible that everything will be fine. Maybe it'll for the rest of the world but what about the people who have lost their family members, their sources of income (cattles) and their houses - what they have lost is lost forever. The loss can never be amended.


No matter how much relief material the Government will provide, their life is effected to a greater extent. Wars always does this harm. Wars always let people suffer and these people have witnessed many. The memories of 1971 and 1999 Kargil War is still fresh in their memories as they had lost their homes even then too. People of these villages have suffered even at that time. They've just started to explore their lives again but now this.

So I just wanted to ask both the countries why and until when they'll be like this. Its the time that both should understand that Wars can only destroy them. It will not give anything except bitter memories. And in fact, we can't even let go of this issue. We have to solve it with mutual understanding but have to do that once and for all. If they still have some doubt in their mind, they should ask their respective Army how much they're gaining from all of this. And I hope they'll understand that they're gaining nothing but losing everything.
