Delhi violence

India is the land where the footprints of Gandhi still show us the path of non-violence. It is the land which fought a nonviolent war against the Colonizers and freed themselves from the shackles of the same. The same land which once fought together to bring peace and harmony is now fighting among themselves over an ACT which is taking more from us just than the land.

A riot broke out in northeast Delhi when the anti-and pro-CAA groups clashed against each other to prove their loyalty to their respective beliefs. This incident of rampant vandalism has shaken everyone in the whole nation. People are fighting among themselves, killing each other, vandalizing their own homes where they once lived peacefully. But the question is: why are we doing this to ourselves? Why is it so difficult for the Government to see what harm this one ACT is been causing to our people? Where does humanity go? Or law for instance?

Are we going to be treated the same way we are being treated in our own home ground? Gandhi once said non-violence is the weapon of the strong, but how do we make it sure this remains our strength if we keep exploiting them on our own?
