When Self is Gone, Peace remains Forever…*
In Memory of Hiroshama*
Bombs on civilians thrown in Hiroshama,
Made innocent fight against comma,
Tombs have resulted for those in trauma,
For death spread around its stinking aroma.
Let there be peace in land filled with violence,
Make our faith to take cognizance
Of conflicts around, using our lives lens,
Seeking forgiveness for our deep silence.
Is peace and justice still a reality?
Oh sure, only when we give up our cruelty,
Fighting together justly with out any partiality,
Affirming equality and sharing in commonality.
Peace is not only absence of war,
It is not when people are afar,
It is when we are one at this hour,
When self is gone, peace remains forever.

"Sometimes — quite often — the same people who are capable of a radical
questioning of, say, economic neo-liberalism or the role of the state, are
deeply conservative socially — about women, marriage, sexuality, our
so-called 'family values' — sometimes they're so doctrinaire that you don't
know where the establishment stops and the resistance begins. For example,
how many Gandhian/Maoist/ Marxist Brahmins or upper caste Hindus would be
happy if their children married Dalits or Muslims, or declared themselves to
be gay? Quite often, the people whose side you're on, politically, have
absolutely no place for a person like you in their social, cultural or
religious imagination.That's a knotty problem politically radical people can
come at you with the most breathtakingly conservative social views and make
nonsense of the way in which you have ordered your world and your way of
thinking about it and you have to find a way of accommodating these
contradictions within your worldview."
