Stop this Civil War..!

Without a war cry or formal declaration, a new civil war rages, and if not arrested immediately will have disastrous consequences and nearly did in the confrontation between Assam and it’s neighboring state of Mizoram, where civilians were not the only casualty, but policemen killed by policemen!
Unheard off, right?
Not really, in the American Civil War, in the nineteenth century, American fought against American with Lincoln leading one side, and the other led by the Confederates. The Union won, not before much bloodshed.
States fought against the union, and that seems to be what is happening here, as the Centre unleashes the CBI, the drugs policemen and the economic guardians against citizens who they feel need to be put in place, and the states retaliate using their own local police!
It’s war and needs to be stopped immediately, before it settles down to bloodshed as what we saw in the Assam-Mizoram feud, with lives lost!
In recent times, Trump tried to do this in the US and used his liberal Covid tactics in the Republican ruled states. Today, those states are suffering from a surge of Covid-19 deaths and rampant disease all through listening to a macho leader who believed he was invincible as a braggart and bully!
Democracy has no place for such!
But coming back to the battles fought in our own country, who do we follow, Lincoln or Trump?
Simple isn’t it? Trump fought for racism, for the continuation of white supremacy, Lincoln fought for the freedom of men, even if they were slaves!
Equality against Racism!
Is that the civil war going on here? Starting by using union and state machinery against each other and even resorting to firearms? These are warning signals, and there’s a need to heed these signs because our country has traversed much distance through listening carefully to each other’s approval and disenchantment murmurs!
Today, we have leaders who have distinguished themselves on the international stage, and India through such leadership can hold her head high, but these leaders need to look carefully at their own homeland even as they make a name for the country abroad, because a disunited country will put all their hard work to waste.
Today, what is needed is not a hugging of other leaders abroad, but a hug and embrace of our own people.
Reassurances are needed. Statesmanlike skills need to be attained. We need leaders who will recognize we are united by our diversity and embrace that concept even as they throw out methods that brought them to power, and here I’m talking of both state and centre!
For leaders who have the capability to inflict surgical strikes and share bear hugs, it is hugs that are the need of the hour, recognizing the pledge we used to say in school, that all Indians are my brothers and sisters!
Then and only then can we stop a civil war..!

  1. So true Bobby. This feud will only lead to a division among Centre and States and people of the different states. A divided India will bring insatiably among its citizens,
    .
    .

  2. What can be done if some states feel themselves to be not a part of India? It is sad.Centre should see that India remains united under any circumstances.Jammu kashmir was given special previlage and you know what has happened they tried to pose themselves as differrent country.So it should be mutual understanding between states and centre.

  3. What is more despicable than war is the stubbornness of an involved party to not work towards a peaceful resolution of differences and conflicts. Accumulated hatred makes it appear that dialogue is out of the question.
    And nations proudly exhibit their destructive arsenal. Presidents are trigger happy. Just as violence breeds violence, one big war doesn’t solve any problem but sets the stage for the next bigger war.

  4. Trump tried to keep illegal immigrants out,attacked by global media as he was more concerned about his country great and falsely accused of being a white supremist by Democrats whoseKKK was banned by Lincoln. Here an RSS man leads the country. Divide and rule was his policy all along. Govt. machinery is misused to reach the goal.

  5. The Bible says, in humility, regard others better than yourself.That’s how we will be able to appreciate other regions, languages and people instead of Blowing our own trumpets all the time like a frog in the well.
