Indian Friendship Day

A year ago in-front of his eyes his girlfriend was brutally raped by six bastards in a running bus of Delhi.

He fought till the time he was beaten blue with an iron rod. They broke his leg,robbed him, snatched his mobile & left him almost naked..

He fought till the time he could. Then on that chilling cold night he was thrown from the running bus along with his girl friend.

They were naked,drained,exhausted & both were bleeding for different reasons.
He tried to stop passing cars & kept on begging for a piece of shawl to wrap his naked girl friend & finally he got it after 40 minutes.

Then he took her to the hospital,admitted her,called the police,called her parents & did every possible co-operation that a true friend should do in the hour of need.
He could have fled from the bus - he did not. He could have left her on the road - he did not. He could have claimed fame & money ( as the father of Nirbhaya who took Rs 25 lakhs from UP CM,a job for his son & many more from many people in his daughter's name ) - but he did not. He could have claimed his treatment money from Govt - he did not. He could have become the most frequently seen face in the electronic media in exchange of money - he did not.

If this is not friendship then what is friendship??

When the entire country roared for the girl no one thought what this boy had gone through that night.

He is not a film star or a cricketer. He is Awindra Pratap Pandey a boy from Gorakshapur in UP the boy who loved his girl from the core of his heart.

When this boy is there somewhere in anonymity, why we Indians should celebrate friendship day on 3rd August to copy Americans??

We should celebrate friendship day in India  on 16th December to salute the spirit of Awindra who proved what friendship means.

Let 16th Dec be an official friendship day in India.

Am I talking sense??

If yes then please share this & give your opinion here.

Walking out from Pooja.

In the old age, when a person was recognized by his work and not what his father did. There were people who were naturally aggressive and good at fighting, they became kshatriya, they use to protect others from any danger and hence earned respect, wage and their food.

Some were good in business and use to become Vaishyas. They were merchants and use to buy and sell different things and made profits from the trade to earn their place in society.

When one community was attacked by other, Kshatriyas protected everyone. Given their courage to lay down their lives to protect their land and people, they were often made kings.

Then their were those who cleaned others mess, the Shudhra. Shudhra's earning use to come from doing most of the dirty jobs in the society.

The last and important community was that of guide/teachers or advisors, the Bhramin. Bhramin's earn their livelihood by giving their advice on how to live or what to do. They tagged that since Shudhra's do the dirty jobs, they should not touch anyone else others will become dirty as well. Bhramin's layer out the rules and regulations of the society mostly as per their own comfort or interest. They became part of kings ministry as it was easy money. So as most people worked hard to live and earn, bhramin's got the easy way out.

Not much has changed in India even today, yes there is a segment of population which do not follow all that is told to them, but our society is still governed by these bhramin's. Though everyone work to own a place in society, bhramin's still enjoy the superior position.

Shouldn't we value more of our work, choices, thoughts and comfort than follow someone who had hardly experienced what we have gone through. Where does all the money donated in temples go? Why do we spend so much on Pooja which has no direct result. Cant we have a better use for it. Why can't we donate the same for education, medical and development.

Generation next has a lot to change, something which their elders didn't do.
