Review:
This article, though it may seem unimportant and insignificant, has a lot of deeper meaning hidden inside. Today’s youth are really attracted by DJ’s, rock bands, etc. This, though no doubt very entertaining and enjoyable, have a deeply negative influence on today’s teenagers.
In India, marriages are very holy ceremonies where the husband and the wife become one soul. This divine moment is severely spoilt by these loud-noised DJ’s and such other shows. I feel that including DJ’s in today’s wedding parties and other celebrations is indeed very wrong, especially for today’s younger generation, which will be the future of tomorrow. There is a lot of vulgarity in the DJ’s. The songs played are very vulgar as is the attire of the dancers. According to me, this is indeed very wrong as today’s youth, instead of spending time on constructive work like studies and games, is wasting it on things like rock concerts, DJ’s etc.
According to the article, this is also having several negative effects. The boys and the teens in the particular town, after getting drunk at DJ’s, harass or misbehave with girls and females. As a result, they cannot participate in the celebrations. I think this is morally very wrong. Women have an equal status in society and I hate to see them abused by drunken men and physically, mentally and emotionally harassed by them. This is ethically not at all good. Many of the villages in India already face a financial crisis. I believe that this is just a waste of money and time on the part of the Indian youth. This money and time could be utilized for something much more important and constructive. But it is being uselessly squandered on things like DJ’s and rock concerts. At least, if not being constructively used, it should not be wasted and could be utilized for good purposes like charity.
India is a largely agricultural country. Most of the villagers in India depend on agriculture and cattle-breeding as a means of livelihood. The DJ’s continue very late into the night. So the cattle, not being able to get proper sleep, cannot be milked properly in the morning. This is causing a lot of inconvenience to the villagers as they depend on the sale of this milk for money.
Thus, due to its many disadvantages, I feel that the panchayat (governing body) of the village was right to ban DJ’s in the village
Clarification:
Haryana- A state in northern India
DJ’s- huge rock concerts where people (usually teenagers) dance and sing loudly
Panchayat- Governing body of a small village

Any similarity to any existing view or opinion is purely coincidental.

Terrorism has always been a major threat and annoyance to the world. Terrorists cause damage of life and property in order to induce fear in the minds of the people. In the case of Samjhauta Express, there were many innocent people who were charred to death by the flames. This was really a very heinous act done by terrorists. So many passengers who had nothing against India or Pakistan were brutally killed. I feel really bad for the people who lost their lives just because they happened to be travelling abroad those two compartments. The majority of the victims were Muslims, indeed they were Pakistanis traveling back home. So it has been supposed that the militants were supposedly Hindus. This indeed grieves me as this clearly highlights racial discrimination. In the 21st century, it is indeed very sad to notice that people still have feelings in their hearts against other races.
As the train compartments exploded, many people would have been severely burnt. This really saddens me. As I think of the people, many of whom were visiting their families and relatives, I realize how terrorism can, in an instant, suddenly turn the lives of all these innocent passengers and their families. Also, there were many who were severely charred or injured in other ways. Life will be even more difficult for them as they battle with death and struggle hard for survival. As for the families of these injured victims, life will be harder still. As most of the victims were Pakistanis and the attack occurred in India, many of the victims’ families have a lot of complications like visas and passports before they can get to see their dear ones. During this time, they will be full of anxiety about the health and condition of their kin.
As it is, India and Pakistan haven’t got too good relations. As these attacks came just a day before the intended peace talks, there is almost no doubt as to what they were intended for. This was indeed a really cowardly act of terrorism. Militants anonymously chose a very destructive way to hamper the peace talks between India and Pakistan.
However, this terrorism can be looked at from a positive point of view, too. These attacks really bond the people of the country together and help them fight terrorism. In this case, this attack led the people of both the countries to be united against terrorism instead blaming each other. So, instead of sitting and crying over spilt milk, I am of the opinion that India and Pakistan should firmly join hands and unitedly fight against terrorism.
