7/28/2019 Do We Need Gorkhaland
2/3
You want the best of both worlds at the cost of what. I do not
mean to tell
people who have gone through legitimate ways but you on the
.......
What is the use of having our own land, if our own people have
to take
permission from a political party just to provide a decent
funeral to the
departed? People world over desire to breathe their last in
their own land; Mrs.
Ghishing could not afford the luxury of this simple privilege,
yet she has the
right to 6 feet of her own land. This is an inalienable right
and it would be very
unfortunate if GJMM leaders do not show compassion at this
moment. History
is watching and it is watching our actions closely, please do
not allow your egos
and emotions to overtake your humanity. Even countries that are
at war allowthe enemy to collect the body of their fallen soldiers
or provide a decent burial,
not because it stops war, but because it is the right thing to
do, it is the
honorable thing to do. By preventing Mrs. Ghishings body to
be
cremated/buried in Darjeeling GJMM is slurring the honor of
Gokhalis world
over.
I dont know about others, but I have this feeling that the cost
of Gorkhaland
should never exceed basic decency and human values. GJMM should
not forget
that we are fighting for a land to call our own and what use
will be such a land
if our own people are banished and driven out and not allowed to
come back to
that very same land even after they are dead? If the people of
Darjeeling can
unite against Mr. Ghishing today, they can unite against GJMM
tomorrow. I
wonder if the same treatment is meted out against the present
day GJMM
leaders tomorrow, how will they react? As the popular saying
goes Daiba ko
Latthi Sabai Maathi.
Let us not forget that Gorkhaland is a very pious and religious
goal for all
Gorkhalis, please do not make a mockery of our emotions. We want
Gorkhaland
but we do not want a dead body being stopped from entering
Gorkhaland. We
do not want political parties making a mockery of the departed
should. We do
not want our people to become heartless, feelingless and
emotionless. We have
lived through such an era for past 20 years, what is the use of
demanding
Gorkhaland if we have to live through the same suffering all
over again for
another 20 more years?
