Story 1

During dusk, a bus going on a dusty road surrounded by fields on both sides is suddenly stopped by few men. They enter the dilapidated bus with their AK 47s and take out some of the men from the bus leaving behind some others and shoot them to death. One dying son looks at one of the windows of the bus and reaches out to hold her mother’s hand while dying. The men with guns are kind enough to fulfill the last wish of the son, allowing the old lady to have her dying son in her lap for one last time….

Can the acts of these men with guns be justified in certain circumstances? Did those lying in pool of blood do something to deserve such death? To be continued…..

Story 2

He is taken out violently, ignoring pleas of the young lady running behind them carrying a crying infant.

A matchstick is lit and the man sees his wife and child for the last time before being burnt to death….

Can the act of this group be justified in certain circumstances? Does the man deserved to be burnt to death in front of her wife and child?

Read ahead if you are able to answer the above questions.

Story 1 was the killing of Hindus in Punjab by radical Sikhs in 1980s.

If your opinions changed on knowing the full story, it is this very mentality that pits humans against humans and drive people to commit the most inhuman acts of violence. Killing, burning, cutting into pieces or raping in front of family including kids becomes justified in the name of religion or revenge.

If your opinions changed, you are not a pice better than those men who butchered innocent people for no fault of their own. You will form the cadres of potential blood thirsty brainless mob in future who will go on raping ‘Humanism’ for the sake of some ‘religion-ism’.
