In Search Of Goodness !


Is evil a thing which has an ontological status (actual being)?, Is there such a thing as evil in nature?, Can evil be objectively defined, or is it always relative to time and place? and Is it accurate to say that a person who does evil is an evil person? It seems like human beings have been struggling with these questions for centuries. In search of goodness, humans conducted evil. Strange as it seems, humans have failed to rise above the concepts good and evil. The war between good and evil is still continuing. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”- Mahatma Gandhi. Speaking on Genocide of Tamils and "War on Terrorism", “India cannot forgive LTTE chief”, Priyanka Gandhi, daughter of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi was reported saying by Indo Asia News Service 21 April. Answering a question on her personal stand, she said, “humans cannot forgive each other.”
IPKF was send to keep peace as there was a violent ethnic strife in Sri Lanka.The force was initially not expected to be involved in any significant combat by the Indian High Command. However, within a few months, the IPKF became embroiled in battle with the LTTE to enforce peace. In the two years it was in northern Sri Lanka, the IPKF launched a number of combat operations aimed at destroying the LTTE-led insurgency. In the process, IPKF was also accused of number of Human Rights violations against the civilian population. According to the tamils the indian army slaugthered 3000 innocent civillians between 1987-1990. Rajiv Gandhi's assassination was carried out by Thenmozhi Rajaratnam, suicide bomber,a female, real name was Gayatri. In the Jain report, various people and agencies are named as suspected of having been involved in the murder of Rajiv Gandhi, the cleric Chandraswami was suspected of involvement, including financing the assassination and Sikh Militants were also suspected.
While one man's hunt is continuing, 300 000 innocent civillians are being shelled, bombed, left to starve, displaced and imprisoned.
