Much has not changed even after 9/11 has become a decade old

Everywhere something or the other was being told about the 9/11 on its 10th year. So, i thought of catering my thoughts to to the people too. So, just a brief post after all the greats of the world has spoken yesterday. People of USA are still mourning for their friends and family who had passed away 10 years back but the world has gone much ahead leaving back those memories behind. But, have we really gone ahead in real terms of the word? We cannot forget this incident, it has been one of the worst massacres the world has seen.



And the then president of USA had declared war against terrorism on the 9/20 of the same year. What resulted was massacre of many many more innocent people and torture of many more. At last Saddam was dethroned and hung. but. did the terrorism end here? The world saw another attack at a Bali nightclub killing more than 200 people. There was an attack at a Miss World contest killing more than 100. There were attacks in India, which killed many many more. Could india get to the root of the Mumbai train blast or the 26/11 attack in Mumbai or the very recent attack at the caital, New Delhi? No! Even Laden was killed recently but that did not stop the Delhi attack. India is under threat of attacks even now but we cannot stop them and i am not being sarcastic. It is not possible to stop terrorism by killing a Laden or Saddam or Abu Salem, Daud and all those so called huge names in the world of terrorism. Although Daud did not get caught till now!

With the killing of one, the world celebrates but in the place of that one terrorist many hundreds spring up everyday. So, if someday the terrorists themselves learn to think that all these killing only results in pain and much more killing. Nothing good can be achieved from it. But this a dream thought too far in the future or maybe this is just a fantasy, will someday come when the world will have real peace?

Let's sing the song of equality Nothing is greater than human, nor important. No difference in country-time-person, same for all religion, In countries, times, and houses they are relatives.

They said that he had the ability to defy God and yet be devoted.

Stationed in Karachi during World War One, as part of the Bengal regiment,  he ros
