Dear FAMILY OF THE HEART 

Dear Friends 

Once again, I welcome the opportunity you have provided Indians, Pakistanis and Bangla Deshi friends to get together under one roof to further the cause of peace and love in particular for the people of these three nations, and in general, for the people of the world. 

It is my honest opinion and observation that individually, and collectively people do not have anything against other people. For exact that reason, we are here tonight.  

However, it is also my opinion and observation, that when manipulated by the so called religious and political opportunists, we freely and endlessly offer our thoughts, our times, our energies, our monies, and all of ourselves, to them, for their benefits, but we suffer everlasting disgrace and loss.  

We all know that if we raise our voice against injustice, abuse, exploitation, oppression, the “authorities” would call us traitors. Sadly, even our well wishers would call us traitors. Punishment for treason is severe, from deportation to death and beyond. So, we are afraid, and we remain silent. This silence becomes so long that it becomes part of our culture. 

Well, my friends, I feel that we are here to break that silence. Like all of you I am for peace and friendship. For me, this earth is one big country, and we all are members of this universal society. We must not fight. Our only option is peace and friendship. My this feelings is even more strong when I consider the current international situation. My dear friends, we do not have much time left. Lets do something now. Lets all join under the universal flag and peace, love and friendship. Under this flag, we will benefit, our children will benefits, our future generations will benefit. 

Thank you for you time.
