Civilians, the modern day scapegoats!

It's a matter of pity that in an alleged civilised world, we strive for the prevalence of truth and justice. The concepts of nationalism and patriocy are twisted to the extent compelling the humankind to cry for mercy! When human dwellings started to crop in, the idea of statehood or nation as a political entity might have been the need of the hour, making it possible to frame a world within world in order to cater for the needs of the humans to survive and prosper but in the current times, when the knowledge of civilization has reached up to an extent where we claim ourselves to be knowing reasonable at least to understand the real need of broadmindedness to keep the world peaceful and progressive. Yet when the situation such as Ukraine-Russia conflict or GAZA invasion occur, we are bound to ponder over the narrow-mindedness of the so called holy concepts of nationalism, statehood as well as cultural and linguistic identities. The world must redefine and refine its principles.
