Violence, Violence and then some...

Why are we Indian's bombing each other up? When is all of this going to stop? When are we even going to think logically about whom we are harming and how it affects our economy?

Sitting comfortably in Canada enjoying the riches a First World Country has to offer, I am plagued with the impending decision – should I return to the motherland or not? The only reason why I am thinking of something I swore I’d never do is because –

a.) Every educated person in India is fleeing the country and

b.) Is it safe for us minorities anymore?

Definition of the term ‘Brain Drain’ by Wikipedia.

“Brain drain or human capital flight is a large emigration of individuals with technical skills or knowledge, normally due to conflict, lack of opportunity, political instability, or health risks.”

I am proud of being Indian.

But...

I do have reservations about people from one faith killing people of any community or hurting anyone’s religious place of worship, or raping and molesting women who are trying to help marginalized or people on the border-line to get out of their poverty filled lifestyle and rise against all odds.

Proponents of the Brain Drain theory have it right, but it also all comes down to who we are as individuals. As mammals with a mind to think, understand and rationalyse information fed to us - we somehow do a very poor job of using our mind. We let out actions take control and deal with the consequences later.

No point in wishful thinking - of asking some volatile elements in our country to stop this spread of hatred and animosity amongst our own brethren and try to forge a relationship of peace and goodwill. By asking that would mean trying to tap onto their good side. Unfortunately their skins are as tough as the skin on the back of a camel... Id be deluding myself.

Seems like such a shame, such a young independent nation ruinedby the likes of such men. Like President-Elect Barack Obama states... - NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE! COME ON INDIA!

Shine again.
