It's been 25 years for all those Sikh families who lost their near and dear ones on 1.11.1984,right after Mrs.Indira Gandhi was shot dead by her bodyguards.Yet,the relentless sufferings have not come to an end.
It's been 25 years of torture..25 years of pain..25 years of grief..25 years of loneliness and 25 years of WAIT FOR JUSTICE..!!
Last night while watching a news channel,I was actually moved to tears to see the extent of pain and torture people had to go through.There was this one lady,a Maths Honors student turned MILITANT after seeing her brother and father being burnt alive in front of her and then being subjected to various kinds of atrocities by her relatives---this is not the kind of life one would want to live.The anger in her took her in a direction many of us would not call respectable!
Another lady tried to kill her 2 month old daughter to ensure she could save the remaining few people in her family.The relation between a mother and daughter cannot be explained in words,and here was a mother who was forced by circumstances to kill her own baby--the very thought sent shivers through my entire body and I was forced to change the channel to avoid crying in front of everybody!
There was somebody on the show,who pointed out that it was not right on our part to term it a RIOT,because it was a senseless and ruthless killing of Sikhs in the country and the very thought made my heart go out to all those who lost their friends and family during that time.
25 years is a long time,and it is enough to shake even the strongest of us.Yet,there are people who are waiting to get justice and are fighting for the ones they have lost.People have died waiting for justice--it seriously can't get worse.
This is in hope that the 25 year long wait for justice pays off well for all those fighting for it.
God please give them strength and courage to fight for their own rights..
