Brave must stand for truth

It is not brave to harass, hit, beat, threat or kill innocent.

Real brave are those who protect others and stand firm for truth and justice.

Unfortunately bravery in nation is a lost word. Only soldiers fighting for nation and against terrorism are few brave left. Rest it seems have lost their spine. Most unfortunate is to see a community known for bravery now using threat and violence as a symbol of bravery. Where has bravery gone?

We hardly see any bravery, we hardly see people standing against crimes against innocent people especially women and kids, against sexual harassment, rapes, against innocent people being hit and killed, against injustice in society.

Who is talking about bravery in a nation when a part of motherland is occupied by neighboring countries? It is shameful and disgusting to see crowds against a movie but none against injustice, none for nation, none for humanity, none for peace and harmony, none against corruption.

It is duty of leaders and government to lead nation towards truth, justice, humanity, freedom, equality. But sadly these are mere words today.

Indeed freedom of expression is for everyone, for those who say or create something and for those who object and oppose. There is nothing wrong in objection. But how can one object without knowing or seeing a thing? Why we have closed our brain so much? One has right to object but only after knowing the facts, one has right to object and protest but no right to violence, to threat.

There is law of land, there are courts to hear both sides and decide what is against the interest of people and nation. But this trend of deciding everything on streets through violence is sad and dangerous for nation. Do not harm nation in the name of pride.

The pride of bravery is not in threatening or killing others. The pride of bravery is in standing firm for truth and justice. This is what Mahatma Gandhi stood for. There is no one more brave than Mahatma Gandhi.
