When will we be united ?

It is heartrending to see that entire world has stood united against a terrorist attack in which 17 people died. But death of 150+ innocent children couldn’t unite us as a nation. Still we are debating and defending our political leaders … And seriously LOL at those who say that bereaved parents’ anger is justified as IK has gotten married at the wrong time. Yes their anger is justified but is our argument justified? My question is: Have we stopped smiling, eating, partying or shopping? Was there any significant change in our lives after that incident? Did we really mourn like we do when our dear ones part away…At least I did not … so how can we expect the same from others?. Being a government representative, yes IK is answerable to those parents… Directly or indirectly he is also responsible for that incident…But we should realize that we ‘as a nation’ probably too had a role to play which we didn’t (except a few) …. By pointing fingers at others we cannot acquit from our obligations. I cannot expect solidarity from other countries when people within the country cannot give up their prejudices for the sake of national interests…! If this tragedy could not unite us, I believe nothing ever will unite us ..!!
