Most countries, including western nations that have not endorsed even Palestinian statehood as yet, have strongly condemned the daily massacre of innocent Palestinians in Gaza ( they include among the nearly 65,000 killed, the old, the sick, women and children) by Israel and the unchecked brazen atrocities, including denying and delaying humanitarian assistance. People are starving to death and those who are suffering have no medicines or access to rudimentary healthcare, even the hospitals in Gaza are being bombed to rubble. Over the past two years the killing fields of Gaza have become indistinguishable from the horrors and depravity of the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps during the Nazi era. Why is India, the purported Vishwaguru and a beacon to the world quiet amidst the barbarity and mayhem, are we validating a live streamed genocide and other forms of savagery ? Has India so drastically altered its Middle East policy that now even human rights and the unfolding catastrophe is of no consequence to us? We, the ordinary citizens would like to know India’s position on a matter that has shocked the conscience of the world.
