Russia is busy with her new wealth and power, with the Siberian oil fields and the Caucasus. China is emboldened by her visibility post the Beijing Olympics and is steaming ahead on the economy front. America has lost her war in Iraq and in the mountainous deserts of Afghanistan, and her banks – the fortresses of capitalism are crumbling down and bottlenecked. Europe is busy with clean energy, trade and tourism. Australia is still pre-dominantly uninhabited. Africa is battling disease, starvation, dictators and other third world troubles. Latin America is busy with soccer and sex.
Though bogged down by political entanglements and power struggles, floods and infrastructure constraints, disputes and shaky status-quos, the Indian subcontinent remains the only landmass with adequate representation from all three of the world’s greatest religions and enough idle time for the three religions to climax in their warring orgy. And if you have noticed it has begun.
Forcible conversions, murder of holy men – self-proclaimed and otherwise, blatant bombings, desecration of prayer-halls and churches, it has all begun in earnest. As these pick-up speed our landmass will become the Kurukshetra of religious antagonism, rife with war and plunder in the name of our shepherds, boiling with the burning fury of men who love their Gods.
Our soil will soak in blood, our rivers will be stained.
