2020

This year is proving to be a year of note. Unfortunately with nothing good, but with bad news, bad events of enormous proportions. So much so, that it forces me to write again about the thoughts I keep getting filled up with. 

So what are all these events that have been rocking the world? Since I am not the most updated on all the news from all over the world, I will concentrate on the usual suspects: the West, in particular Europe and North America and then India. Anyway, these are the geographical regions I am most connected to. 

It is not only 2020, but also that 2019 ended on a note that was rather disturbing. With the Indian economy slowly slipping behind, the government decided to introduce and pass the so called Citizenship Amendment Act, a few months later it divided and declared Jammu and Kashmir to be Union Territories. I am not going to get into the latter, or the former in any detail, but suffice it to say that these acts of parliament look clearly anti-muslim. And one would have thought that after the Supreme Court ruling of the Ayodhya case went in favour of the Hindus, they would give it a rest.
