The Floating Humans - Burma Muslims

The Floating Humans

'Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule - Buddha' 

In a world where people are fighting and protesting for better life to live in their state,country or territory there are humans who are floating on sea in search of land where they can place their feet after being thrown out from their own country. Rohingya Muslims of Burma are struggling to live a normal life. 

They're denied citizenship, forced into manual labor on government projects and forbidden to marry without official permission. Burma's Rohingya Muslims are often called one of the world's most persecuted people, and now they are turning to dangerous methods to change their fate. In harrowing attempts to migrate to nearby countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, many Rohingya ended up stuck on overcrowded boats at sea, with no country willing to grant them safe landing. Hundreds of others have died when such migrant boats capsized.

Buddhists majority in Burma (Myanmar) considered them migrant from Bangladesh denying the fact that their ancestors were living there since the British period. These Muslims were laborers from Bengal region of undivided India who were sent to work for British companies in farms and industries in Burma by Britishers. The military ruled Burma government denied them citizenship since 1982 and with citizenship it seems their right to live have also been abolished. They were not allowed to go to school, they were not allowed to do business outside Rakhine area and were tortured to leave even that small area where their population is confined.

The persecution of Burma Muslims came into light after they were found stranded on boards at the coast of neighboring countries in big fishing boards in pathetic condition. No country is allowing them to enter their land, some of these were caught by smugglers who demanded ransom for their release from their families failing to which these kidnapped people were killed and buried in coastal areas of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

The main stream Indian media and also the most of international media is not reporting this issue as it should be raised for this inhuman act of hostility by Burma Buddhists. This is also hard to understand why peace advocating Buddhists monks are resorting to such violent means. They are butchering small children, women, men mercilessly to throw them out of Burma. The world is silent on this issue,with this post I appeal all Human Right activists to take matter to the authorities and we should all stand in their support to help them win the very necessity of being human i.e the right to live. I hope and pray that these floating human get some ground beneath their feet. 

Incredible India

Incredible India!

India is incredible and there is no doubt about it,not only we believe it but the whole world is with us in this view. Since ancient times our country is a matter of interest for the universe for its uniqueness. Uniqueness in thoughts in culture,in tradition and in people of the country. Outside world was always curious to know us,we gave the concept of zero,spices,numerical systems,music and many more things to the world. They learn these things from us and developed them further but a thing we give to the world is still with us,we are admired for it throughout the world but not followed on this. The thing I am talking about is peace and non-violence.

Since the time of Gautam Buddha,we taught these concepts but all in vain. The other side of these concepts  is that we are now treated as a country for salvation but not a country of reputation. We are taken as soft targets even by smaller and weaker countries like Pakistan,Srilanka,Bangladesh,Afganistan,etc. we often pardon them and want to be their best friend even when they spread terror in our country. Developed countries which depend on us for there workforce pressurise and insult us in many issues. Recently two Italian officers who killed our fishermen were ordered to leave the country and they are now not coming back to face the trial,there are many such incidents with American,British or other countries. America destroyed a whole country for killing its people by an organisation and we take life of our country men so lightly that we allowed two killers to leave the country for elections in there nation.

Its good that we are peace loving people and believes in forgiveness and reformation but this portrays us as a soft targets for criminals. Our judicial system has two many loopholes and opportunities that criminal in our country roams freely and commits crime as easily as doing any routine job. This image should be changed and judicial system should be made strong by the government,there is also a need to look at our foreign policy more seriously and project ourselves as a stronger nation to the world.
