During the Israel-Palestine war in October 2023, an RSS supporter named Rajesh Sharma reportedly wrote on X (Twitter):
"Gaza should be completely ethnically cleansed and turned into a region without Muslims. That is the only way to achieve peace."
At a time when countless innocent civilians were being killed, he praised Israel's military actions and expressed support for Mossad and the IDF.
According to the writer of this post, his words showed no humanity or compassion. He appeared unable to see the suffering of ordinary people, the tears of families, or the fear and helplessness of children forced to flee their homes. While large numbers of people were dying, he applauded. He celebrated the tragedy of an entire people as if it were a victory.
But life can be unpredictable.
When we dismiss the pain of others, life sometimes teaches us the true meaning of that pain through our own experiences.
Today, the harsh reality of conflict in West Asia has reportedly reached his own doorstep. One of the three Indian sailors said to have been killed in an attack on the Indian vessel Setabella in the Gulf of Oman was Aditya Sharma, Rajesh Sharma's son.
The man who once supported harsh military actions now stands before the world as a father grieving the loss of his own son.
When children in Gaza were dying, he did not hear the cries of their parents. When mothers in Gaza held the bodies of their children and wept, he did not see their pain, according to the writer.
Now, after hearing the news of his own son's death, he may understand the depth of such suffering.
This is not a tragedy to celebrate. No one should take pleasure in a father's grief. Tears are not something to be celebrated.
But, the writer argues, this sorrow reminds us of an important truth:
* Human life has no religion.
* Death has no nationality.
* War does not choose sides when it causes suffering.
Every word that applauds the death of innocent people may one day come back to us.
The war you support today could tomorrow destroy the life of someone in your own family. The deaths you justify today could become tomorrow's personal tragedy.
The writer concludes that the most powerful boomerang in the world is not a weapon, but karma.
Karma does not make noise. The harmful words and ideas we send out into the world may one day return to us. And when they do, they can arrive as life's hardest lesson and most painful realization.
