FEAR....

A big saffron 'tika/Tilak" on the forehead and maybe the saffron coloured cloth slung over the shoulders- looking at that makes me recoil, recoil in displeasure, dislike and more importantly "FEAR". These images have stayed from the Gujarat riots, and the old images from Babri Masjid demolition. Now whenever i see a saffron flag posted somewhere in some troubled area, a feeling of premonition and an adrenalin rush. Today with the terrorists running amok, creating pandemonium and fear, I fear of the future these saffron clad men will take us to. With states like Orrisa and Karnataka already burning and many states recovering and learning to live with the ashes, I wait with a heavy heart to see what is next. The voice of “moderates” are so often unheard so here I am trying to add to these voices knowing its only a drop in the ocean, but then again drops makes up an ocean.
