Whilst writing this blog, I’m listening to late Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’, and at the same time, merely leafing through US’s allegations against India of trying to eliminate a 'Terrorist,' who the US considers him as mere a ‘Critic’! And in the Amy’s words only -> “I say No No No!” Why?
Now imagine, what if Qatar, Saudi Arabia or Pakistan had used the term ‘US Critic’ for Osama? Then how the brave western soldiers or their family members who sacrificed their lives fighting terrorism, would’ve felt or reacted? Even the learned & brave members of CIA, who since World War, have protected & kept US on top, by eliminating thousands of terrorists or critics or were being part of changing governments; how they would feel, if they too are being subjected under the ambit of the same impugned allegations or arguments? Would they get motivated? Absolutely not! Look, sadly, what is Success in Life, or Life itself, what defines Terrorism, or what is even Criticism; since WW2, been defined as per one’s convenience.
Take this example. Around 2.5 million Indian soldiers fought in WW2. For whom & for what? That wasn’t even India’s war, nor a single penny India earned from it, unlike many nations who became massively rich & powerful from that war. Correct?
Look, I’ve always stated that, evolutionary traits hardly alter in any perceivable evolutionary cycle. That’s why I never sulk into these talks of sudden peace or equality or selective accountability or love to all. Of course, those who’ve upper hand would always win; but, inside, even their souls (good or bad) know, that’s incorrect & they would always be wrong in the universe! 😊
