Was any one on road on the night of Shabb e Barat? I was. It was sacry to drive at that time as so many devotees? were on road at their arrogant best. No two wheelers was with less than three commuters driving crazy. Vroooom overtakles a motorcycle from your right with out any warning and by the time you try to avoid vrooom another overtakes from left. Infact my ten year old son was so terrified that he asked me to be careful. This is as long as two wheelers are concerned. Devotees????? on foot. You could find them all over, on the pavements, in the middle of the road, running and playing as if teh road was a playground.
What if an accident happens? Who is responsible?
This is excactly what happened in Agra and we all know the end result.
Have we become so worthless that we can't teach our children to behave? Teach them value of life - own as well as others'? Be it any religion a community festival always turns into a nightmare because we have all failed to teach and guide our children well.
Kanwariyas loot friut vendors. Walk helter skelter on the road. tehre is no one to stop. And when a Kanwayiya is hit by truck the entire community goes berserk same way as our Shabb e Barat devotee??? friends have gone berserk in Agra.
Can we all ask ourselves a simple question? Are we ourselves not responsible for such uncivilised, predater behaviour???
