Since the beginning of civilization, war and violence have been inescapably woven with the long continuing journey of human race. And with it has been the continuous yearning for peace and security.

Despite the movements of peace worldwide, violence still continues unabated across the globe. The memory of the atrocious World War II is a deep scar in the history of mankind.

The World Trade Centre attack at New York on September 9, the London underground blast, the Bosnia tragedy, the violent strife in

Ireland between the Irish and the British and the expelling of all Asians from Uganda by the dictator Idi Amin - all narrate a strange paradox of human destiny.

Close to home, the massive carnage at the Indo-Pak Partition, the Bombay blasts, the Indo-Pak Kargil-War, the Indian Samjhauta Express bombing, and the rising communal violence in India - all nail down the dreams and thoughts of Gautam Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi.

The voice of reason and compassion is getting drowned at every turn.

Muslims say Christians,
Christians point to Muslims,
Hindus accuse Sikhs,
Catholics are sure that Protestants are to blame,
Protestants single out Catholics,
Shias accuse Sunnis,
Sunnis accuse Shias,

Who could be the perpetrator?

and the cycle of blaming each other goes on and on...
