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
