All lives must matter. Be it of Rituparna Pegu or Ajay Pandita


Over the last few days, I have been receiving many of your messages exhibiting your love and affection towards me. Looking at the magnitude of good wishes and blessings, I was thinking about how I should react to all these. Today with the help of this blog, I would love to thank all of you for the love, faith and affections which you all have showered on me after I announced about the arrival of a new member to my small family. Your support and affection towards me has been overwhelming and this strengthens my resolve to work more for the welfare of society.
      Many of you might have wondered about why I took this step? My simplistic answer is that an unfortunate incident had taken away the life of an innocent which is now known to be as late Rituparna Pegu and this was something which he was not worthy to deserve.  He was merely 26 and this is an age to stay alive and work to fulfil the young aspirations which spin in our mind. However, unfortunately, late Rituparna was not lucky enough to follow this pursuit and he had lost his precious life to the hands of a radical inhuman mob. Undoubtedly, this incident was shocking for late Rituparna who may never had thought of this but this incident appeared more unexpected for his family. He had left behind his young wife and a small kid with his unfortunate demise.  None of them deserve this and especially the small kid who may have just started to call late Rituparna as "papa" but this lasted for a very short span of time. All these thoughts had troubled me over the last few days and I felt that a small effort from my side may safeguard the aspirations and future of the small kid who still have a long way to go. The cruel murder of late Rituparna showcases the fading essence of humanity but such event should not take away the belief of people from humanity and if people like me can ensure this then I would think that I have learned the true meaning of my life. There have been many instances where I have witnessed people selectively condemning criminal acts and this leaves many victims voiceless and if I can be the voice of voiceless then it would add value to humanity which is now being used with selectivity. The human lives should never be evaluated with selective lens making one life more or less valuable than others. But sadly, this is a reality which many of you may have noticed and a few days back, when Ajay Pandita who was the lone Kashmiri Pandit in Kashmir was assassinated by terrorists, the high volume outrage was seen missing somewhere and something similar was the case of late Rituparna Pegu. I don't want to blame anyone now but hopefully, things will change is my belief. My fight is not against anyone but my fight is only to ensure that whenever we talk about lives, it should be the matter for all lives instead of simply focusing on certain lives with the selective lens.



      I have only initiated a small step to ensure that every lives matters but I would seek your support to make this a movement to ensure this and I would like to urge all of you that come forward because every small step also matters.
    Once again, I extend my gratefulness to all the people for their influential support and immeasurable good wishes.
