The Game

Sometimes, I wonder if world would have been a better place if there were no religion. I wonder if Allah is any different than any God, whether sense of justice within him would be any different than us.
The match of India Pakistan reached unfathomable heights because of multiple dynamics of emotions between the two country. I read in a post - Allah will help Pakistan win . I wondered if Allah wont help Zaheer Khan or the Pathan brothers then !
Indians wanted vindication in this match. A few said , if not war , we would win this match. How I wonder those victims of Taj would get even this iota of peace by winning a match? I am not propagating war here but why have we kept Kasab alive? What did we do about 26/11?Or our memory is so feeble that we would want sweep that under the carpet and pretend nothing is wrong?
I used to be an idealist and prayed for peace between the two countries. Now I wonder if that will be ever the case. With enmity as high as these , one will kill the other in the long run.In the mean time, Pakistan is in chaos due to all civil wars within their communities. My heart goes out to the common people who faced the brunt.
Nothing is going to come out by campaigns. This issue has fallen into a vicious trap of religion, politics and emotions. Not sure within this lifetime, this will be sorted.
Till then, my prayers are with our brave soldiers in the border and their families who not know why lives of them are at stake. What farce is peace talks when fires are being shelled every now and then we losing our brothers in the border? They came , killed a few hundreds of us within the hub of our financial capital in the most prestigious hotel. Contrasted to this audacity , we are content that we won that match!
