Everyday we wake up and go on with our life. We never contribute even a minute of our day to ponder over what has already happened and what is happening. In the comfort of our lives with the major political and historical turmoil of the century already passed we forget what has shaped the world that we are living in.
Who would have thought that sitting in a class one can come across a shock and a realization of the truth of the time gone past. Most of the times this shock is so sudden that we end up either ignoring it or succumbing to its purpose of making us stop and think. the present times has its own problems and issues yet when thought carefully our world doesn't seem as advanced we would like it to be. From the World Wars to India's own Partition of 1947 and the riots of 1984 are examples of the past that makes us work towards a life of better options.
In living our lives we have to remember the past which brought us to this future. Neglecting it is insulting the memories of the people who lived through those turbulent times. The horror of the wars and riots may be absent now but we are still not so far away from them that we can put aside the fear of a new explosion that can shake the society to its core and lead to the same destruction as before.
