To those of you who read my previous blog,you don't have to tell me anything!!I know it's pathetic!!!! But i guess we will not discuss it anymore as i have already decided to write anything i want to say at that moment.....
It's a long long time since i wrote anything,so i don't have much to write mainly because i can't remember any interesting event or topic i wanted to write on....
It's been a long holiday for me...wat with me bunking two days of college and now sitting at home for another 3 days because of the bandh...Atleast our unit tests are postponed(or even cancelled :) ....but most unlikely!!!:()
This rally to be held today is to stop the war in srilanka (i don't know how the govt. comes up with these protests when the war is almost over and the ltte are on the losing side!!).I knew that a war has been raging for a very long time in that small country but didn't know much about the intricacies...
The srilankan tamils were treted like slaves,they were not given a right to vote and were discriminated and treated like outlaws...Just like every other story ends,the sinhalese lost their limits and the tamilians rose against them in protest...Initially there were several tamiklian civilian groups workiing for this cause,but being humans they had their internal clashes and the LTTE(Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam) emerged victorious...This clash continued in the subsequent years and things grew from bad to worse in the late eighties...Everything acceptable upto this point...India decided to intervene and bring about peace in sri lanka....this was followed by the Indian army sent to the country...They were called the Indian Peace Keeping Force...India meant well,but this only worsened the situation with the LTTE thinking that their demands may not be met without violence,what with their arms and ammunition hideouts being found by the IPKF....The sinhalese too thought that a third member was interfering and causing more havoc....Result:Rajiv Gandhi was killed by a suicide bomber belonging to the LTTE...
If the govt. had really been against the war,they would haveheld thes protests a little earlier...that is my personal opinion...
Well,things really need to change in our country....corrupt and selfish politicians disgust me....am sure most of us Indians feel the same way,yet none of us educated people really stand up except talk(me included)....Of course with IITians entering politics,there is a change....A streak of light...HOPE!!!
