Martyrdom remembered

Our country won freedom from foreign rule(British rule) after many years of struggle and after many many sacrifices. Great freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Rajaguru and Sukhdev were hung by the British. And today is observed as the day for these brave martyrs. In remembering these courageous freedom fighters, we are able the value our freedom.And we struggle to give citizenship rights to the people.And at every turning point we have more obstacles, and more challenges. With our daily struggle to survive and live with dignity, we are trying to hard make the future of India bright. 

We can feel the pain of sacrifice when we see the Tamils of Sri Lanka. Genocide and war crimes cannot be forgiven. We cannot always maintain normal ties with cruel people. Today there is live media which gives us a clear picture of what is going on there. We cannot close our eyes or act blind when we can see the reality. 

Out of genuine love for peace and for maintaining calm diplomatic relations in our region, we did not intervene. But now we have voted against Sri Lanka in United Nations which has noted the human rights violations there.Although we respect the sovereignty of another country, we cannot tolerate torture inflicted on the people and have to speak against the militant government there. 

May those who have died in the island always be forever remembered for they are victims of crimes that men have committed against men.May peace come to the island which resembles the shape of a tear drop in the Indian Ocean. May God bless the Tamils, so that that they get their promised land, and please God wipe away their tears.
