Amidst war cries after the Pulwama attack on 14 February, and more recently IAF strikes in Pakistan, and violation of Indian airspace by Pakistani fighter jets, we must realise that war can only cause devastation. Let us revisit this poem written by Sahir Ludhianvi which talks about the value of humanity and how war leads to no gain for anyone. War is one of the biggest problems and it can’t be a solution to problems. In the hope that we give peace a chance and think of the consequences of war before mindlessly "meme-ing" about it, I made this video.
