Thank you ViV for bringing such a moving essay by Mohan jee to our attention. The resume at the footnote also is informative to interested readers. What a reflection on our time- Now that the world is heavily drenched with the holy human blood, from the deaths ? cold and hot . There are great political leaders as the war wagers and there are big chieftains as the makers of terror. As a result, the innocent humanity seems to be helpless and it is being a melancholic topic of universal elegy. A collective conscious of melancholia and terror seems to be the spiritual sap for all living to-day .In the name of revolution , freedom and emancipation, in the name of defeating the terrorists and in the name of nationalism or for a faith the sad deaths are everywhere . The price has been priceless. Now how will such creative expressions made by the will of peaceful life against war and destruction will have an appeal to the quick of these wagers and makers, that is the question ! The following poem by an American modern poet of Alaska is , I think, worth I remember my conversation with Mohan jee during one of his speeches when he was pretty much elaborating what is said above. I was insisting more on the naturality of the contemporary history and my interpretation of the events as we are at a threshold of a new world with fuller commitment to freedom and justice. Thanks ViV.
