Just a thought ....

Just saw the movie – Pearl Harbor (the previous blog with the song lyrics makes it obvious), the movie obviously a classic is an awesome movie. It has emotions sentiments romance friendship patriotism drama everything, a perfect package. 3 hours is a long duration for a movie, thought its not at all boring or dragging at any moment.

The words of the Japanese Admiral – If I was smart, I would have found a way without war, these words stuck me. The attack at Pearl Harbor was basically to prevent US from causing any hindrance in Japan’s conquests but as said in the movie it awakened a sleeping giant. Who is the reason for all the destruction caused in the war? A country tries to protect itself from another by being proactive and attacking, and the other country defends itself or rather takes avenge for its loss. Losses are on both sides, destruction is massive both sides – who exactly is responsible? The admiral who gave the orders that came from high above, the soldiers who followed the orders, the country people who suffer human and material loss, or the neighbor country who tries to be ally to one of the fighting countries. One mastermind high above comes up with this master plan of ruling over everything and someone innocent ends up losing everyone/everything.

Few days back – world cup 2011, there was the India Pakistan semi final match. People hate Pakistan so bad that when the national anthem of Pakistan was played, the disrespect was inevitable. When there was Srilanka India final match and Srilankan anthem was played, people were atleast not disrespectful. The amount of hatred there is for Pakistan as a country in Indians is of no measure. Indians have lost their families their homes their possessions even their respect cause of the partitions and definitely the war has not stopped – the kargil, the Kashmir, it just keeps going on and on. But the question remains the same is every person in Pakistan responsible? Is the flag, the national anthem, the soil of Pakistan also to be punished?

Ofcourse there can be an argument about Osama being in Pakistan all this while and also the rumors about many India’s wanted terrorists staying safely in Pakistan. But again even if these are caught and go to jail in India what happens – Kasab case, never will there be a raid like Obama did for Osama. The point is not about what if these are caught. But is it for sure none of those are Indian origins, is Pakistan to be blamed cent percent for everything?

People may not agree with what I have said, I am just voicing an opinion here. I am not supporting Pakistan nor am I against people who dislike the country.
