country of the rising sun facing the heat

Japan a country known for its strength in the field of  industrial growth and respect for its emperor and the tradition and culture.To-day it is going once again through the atomic ill radiation of its own power houses,which were built to supplement its energy requirement. Its courageous but unfortunate that it tried to tame the demon of atomic power which has destroyed 65 years ago. Hiroshima and Nagasaki .That was also national tragedy in which the Japanese pride was forced to surrender before the allied powers.The Japanese can never forget the scene when  General Douglas MacArthur took the surrender from the then Emperor Hirohito. After half century the demon which destroyed the nation of rising sun is once again in the grips of the same enemy though invisible_that is  radiation. This catastrophe is an example that any thing which is harmful would remain worse how so ever the humanity may boast to tame it. some thing may be good for gathering knowledge but ,their would always be serious dangers of converting the classical into technology. because the first is for the enhancement of knowledge but the second is for the profit making ,which makes it a dirty game. I have witnessed the worlds greatest industrial accident>Bhopal Gas Tragedy, I was also associated with the first documentary made by BBC by the name of Poison City.Still the some of N.G.Os are  still crying foul. but one thing is still unknown that what is the after effect of the poisonous gas M.I.C gas. Similar situation is about the effects of atomic radiation.It is believed that experts know more than us, but it is also perfect that they are the once who leads us in the darkness of ignorance. Recently i was watching the the Oscar film festival in that a picture which was awarded in the Documentary category as for as i remember the name of picture was Just Behind .The movie was regarding the economic recession in the U.S.A.which affected later the world over. The producer reveled in that picture that how the big banks of the U.S.A.bought the opinions of the so called  'EXPERTS" over the issues of the De regularization of banking laws and regulation.He has exposed the so called EXPERT OPINION"s that how they were managed . The producers comment was that "millions of people became homeless and vehicle-less,but government has given THEM{bank} package and no help to the hapless millions who were looted. Similar opinions are being forwarded in support of atomic power generation. Once  again the millions of peoples of many countries who would suffer in future should not be lured as has happened in Hiroshima and Bhopal. This is personal experience which i am trying to share with the fellow human beings.thanks if you respond to it .....

Empires tragic legacy,

                  The other day I was watching the telecast  of Emperor Akihito to the nation, it reminded the tragic memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the Japanese imperial forces were forced to surrender before Allied Powers. But yesterday Japanese Kow-towed before the angry nature .60 years back it was man made catastrophe but this time Japan cannot blame anyone: apart from itself. The son of the sun as the Japanese emperor is called by his subjects was looking helpless in hour of national grief ,but he was asking his people to remain calm and disciplined. Those who have seen the telecast would realize that many of the Japanese who were witness to the  earlier atomic catastrophic, were horrified and shaken due to their experience .I was watching the news on international news channels and was astonished that the world was more worried about the quantum of radiation and its effects, they were even blaming the Japanese electrical company responsible for running the atomic power plant, that they are hiding the REAL facts according to them, even though they are sitting thousands of miles away from the real place of occurrence. They were dubbed as the expert of the subject. But none of them has any suggestion as to what to do to lessen the sufferings and difficulties of multitudes.I saw many environment  activist to to raise the flags, but  none of them was talking about helping the victims. They were simply raising their voice against the government or the utility co., but does these action help in any way to the sufferers? I am sure it does not . Making noise is one thing and taking a concerted effort to help the people is entirely different, I have seen it in BHOPAL non of the MIC affected person has been helped by them. One of the NGO who is being financed from abroad has opened the so called clinic. Do we not know that there is no perfect treatment in the case of MIC or ATOMIC radiation, even then to get a snap or appearance in the media may provide recognition to some but it does not help the people or the sufferers.  In VEDIC tradition it has been told that nobody and nobody could share the sorrow or the grief of other nor can share it , as the saying tells it is the tow knows where the shoe pinches, my observation to these activities is that it is the hour of doing something rather than howling over others. Maybe some of my brethren may think I am not correct , i bow down to them also in disagreement
