We are living in a strange time – a time when two nations, Ukraine and Russia, are engaged in war, thousands are suffering as a result of it, and some resort to making memes out of it; a time when mothers are losing their sons, wives their husbands, and children their fathers but many would rather engage in Twitter fights than condemn the war. Only those who lose their homes and loved ones in war know the real loss of it all.
An old video of Shahrukh Khan talking about the futility of war has resurfaced online showing how it is relevant even today. He says that only those who lose their lives have seen the end of the war while nobody else knows when the war is going to end.
War is futile and ends with only sadness and loneliness.
War is never the answer, and surely is not an alternative for peace.
“Only the dead have seen the end of the war and nobody knows when the war is going to end. It only ends for the guys who have died. So there is a lot of futility in war. There is a lot of sadness in war. There is a lot of loneliness in war. And whatever the reasons anyone gives for it – good, bad, ugly, revenge, nice, strong, need of the hour – the fact is that war is not nice. War is not an alternative to peace and goodness. War is not an alternative to love, discussion, talks, even tiffs. War is not something anyone should go in for,” he says.

When news of Russia’s military operations on Ukraine hit online, a poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish was widely shared online. The name of the poem is ‘The War Will End’ and here are some lines from it:
The war will end.
The leaders will shake hands.
The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son.
That girl will wait for her beloved husband.
And those children will wait for their hero father.
I don’t know who sold our homeland
But I saw who paid the price.
Those who have suffered the brutalities of war will never condone it.
