In the recent days,
I was deeply saddened by the incidents that moved me a little to much for me to
write here, a devastating trauma, for the world when suddenly an unprecedented
attack that took place to the Mother of Diversity New Zealand and the demise of
Late Mr Manohar Parrikar, the former chief minister of Goa .
The world saw a
sudden terror attack in New Zealand, on the eve of prayer in Mosque in
Christchurch and the demise of a whole lot of people suddenly left the entire
world speechless ,many losing their loved ones and the entire Newzealand was in
deep mourning condemning a lot of people behind, but to me what stood so
meaningful, was the immediate response of the efforts made by the Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern, and her efforts to reunite a country devastated stood
by heart as a special one which we can find a leader of a generation who is
born.
In her efforts to
address the world immediately, she mentions this in her statement which was a
unifying word of comfort and affection for the world
“we -- New Zealand -- we were not a target because we are a safe
harbor for those who hate. We were not chosen for this act of violence because
we condone racism, because we are an enclave for extremism. We were chosen for
the very fact that we are none of these things. Because we represent diversity,
kindness, compassion, a home for those who share our values, refuge for those
who need it. And those values, I can assure you, will not, and cannot, be
shaken by this attack.
We are a proud nation of more than 200 ethnicities, 160
languages. And amongst that diversity we share common values. And the one that
we place the currency on right now -- and tonight -- is our compassion and
support for the community of those directly affected by this tragedy.
And secondly, the strongest possible condemnation of the
ideology of the people who did this.
You may have chosen us -- but we utterly reject and condemn you.”
And made the world to unite through her envisioning words for
the country to unite.
As a leader of the masses, she unites to attend the memorial
along with the fellow Muslims she portrayed herself the strongest quality that
many leaders of all masses need to look into and a lesson to be learnt, “the
Empathetic leader”.
She meets and greets fellow Muslim friends in care and concern
and realizes and mentions
“But I believe what I have done
has not been about Leadership;
I have simply echoed the humanity
of New Zealanders “
It tells us that though we may distinguish ourselves as leaders,
we need to always accept diversity and practice empathy and brotherhood and
also distinguishes us as Global Citizens for the common world.
And also to this far extent we witnessed the demise of Late Mr
Manohar Parrikar, the Former Chief Minister of Goa who also portayed what it
takes to be a humane leader to the world
And what it takes to have empathy for the common good for the
world.
A leader who travels along with the general public and the one
attends the house irrespective of health condition and always looks to smile
against the odds with courage and determination.
These two leaders made us understand that life seems quite
different through their inspiring leadership and the humane factor that makes
them stand out to define the world, a Global Leaders of the modern era.
So, Does humane leader still exists, certainly Yes, but there is
still a long way to go!
Do You have what it takes to be humane in your efforts to make
the world a better place to live in?
