The color of hatred in Christmas happiness? Why did Tharoor remind BJP of the story of Mahabharata and Dhritarashtra? – ..
News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as the month of December arrives, the splendor of festivals starts appearing everywhere. There is celebration of Christmas and people congratulate each other. But this time the news of controversies coming from some parts of the country has added some bitterness to the festival atmosphere. Meanwhile, a statement by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has become a topic of discussion on social media, in which he has directly targeted the government by giving the example of Mahabharata.
What is the pain in Tharoor’s mind?
Shashi Tharoor, often known for his English and heavy words, looked very serious and a little sad this time. He mentioned incidents where Christmas celebrations were allegedly disrupted or people were mistreated. Tharoor says that when such things happen in the country, it tarnishes our ‘taking everyone along’ image in the whole world.
Example of Mahabharata and Dhritarashtra
Tharoor took help of history and mythology while attacking BJP and the government. Referring to Dhritarashtra, he said that when something wrong was happening in the assembly, the king’s silence was the biggest crime. He indicated that if hatred is spreading in the name of religion in the country and people in power remain silent, then history will look at them in the same light as it looked at Dhritarashtra.
His message is clear—silence alone is not enough, but the leadership must stand up and say that such incidents have no place in India.
Questions on democracy and brotherhood
This question of Shashi Tharoor is not just a political statement, but it is a matter to think about for all of us. Our country is known for its diversity. Be it Diwali, Eid or Christmas, we have always celebrated together. In such a situation, where is targeting the festivals of a particular community taking us?
This appeal of Tharoor is not only for BJP, but for every person of the society who tolerates injustice by remaining silent. He believes that the government should not only condemn these incidents but also curb them so that every Indian can celebrate his festivals without any fear.
What next?
Politics has its place, but it is everyone’s responsibility to maintain the fabric of society. Can we imagine an India where no one is afraid to practice their religion or celebrate any festival? Tharoor’s words may be bitter, but it is very important to ask such questions in a democracy.
