Karachi festivals - Revisiting history

The above is one of the rare images of the Shivratri festival being celebrated at Clifton, Karachi a few decades ago. 

The above is one of the rare images of Hindu festivals "Dusserra" being celebrated in Karachi... Yesterday's India and today's Pakistan. 

It is very painful how come the city Karachi of India then, which used to be a Hindu Majority where every Hindu festival where celebrated has not only a matter of history non of us are interested in finding the root reasons behind the same. Read below the valid reason briefed on the same.

The root reasons are only one and until or unless it is rectified the disease cannot be eradicated. The disease is in the mind. The disease is the "attitude". 

Yes, the attitude of Indians (Hindus) to ignore long-term repercussions against the short-term gains. 

Yes, the attitude of Indians(Hindus) to ignore other's plight till the time it starts touching their lives.

Yes, the attitude of Indians(Hindus) to distinguish various identities among their own religion instead of recognizing them as "Hindus". 

Yes, the attitude of Indians(Hindus) to give priority to earning instead of recognizing the possibilities of future mournings. 

Yes, sticking with the wrongs even after realizing that these wrongs will gain them temporary gains but long-term losses. 

Yes, sticking with irresponsible people for their own benefits even when it causes losses for the Nation. 

Yes, when even a known neighbor comes to their home they ask them the purpose and send them back after the reason of their arrival, but they (Hindus) are least bothered about crores of illegal foreign intruders roaming in our country with some wild conspiracies. 

I think Indian's need to change their attitude and need to rise above politics, above appeasements, above caste, above language, and must learn to support the cause to defeat the anti-nationals and learn to stand with the patriotic even at the expense of their personal losses. 

When the rain pours at any given time some farmers are happy and some farmers are sad. But rain is inevitable for the survival of life on earth. Like that when the government brings in some new laws it may please some and annoy some, but we must be magnanimous enough to realize and accept that laws (Bills) are made to improve our nation towards a better future.
