Language and expression reveal a person’s character and their affiliation with a country and a nation. It’s the language that can paint someone as good or bad.
On Wednesday, India made it to the top trends on Twitter due to the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3, a lunar spacecraft launched by India, on the surface of the moon.
When Chandrayaan 3 landed on the moon, India became the fourth country after Russia, the United States, and China to hoist its flag on the lunar surface, marking a significant achievement that garnered congratulations for India.
While scientists and astronomy enthusiasts celebrated the success of Chandrayaan 3, various messages were shared from Pakistan as well.
A viral video emerged in which a person could be heard saying that having a flag on the moon and having the moon on the flag are two different things, with the only difference being time.
Supposedly, Indian citizens aimed to discredit the Modi government for its severe human rights violations and oppression in the occupied region of Kashmir, rather than celebrating their country’s success.
I personally believe that no matter how insulting a question might be, if the answer isn’t insulting, it should be given.
While understanding and education have a place even in countries like India, the enmity is at the governmental level. Public sentiments can differ and should be understood, and wherever possible, addressed with wisdom.
Interestingly, the idea came up, Why not pose this question to ChatGPT and ask what response should be given to those who, instead of celebrating their own country’s success, are making noise about Pakistan, saying, “Look, you have a moon on your flag, but you’re not on the moon. Go and cry about it.”
The Pakistani nation should take pride in its history, culture, continuous positive expressions, discussions, and safeguarding international treaties, along with numerous other factors that make our national heroes shine on the global stage. Instead of lamenting that we haven’t reached the moon, we should focus on these aspects.
It is acknowledged that progress in science and technology is important, but if there are countries that haven’t reached the moon yet, it’s partly due to lagging behind in the race of science and technology, and partly due to economic issues. India isn’t the only country struggling to catch up with Pakistan in some economic aspects.
In India, the rights of minorities and the downtrodden are not protected. Even Indian analysts question this. Is it possible for a country that raised its flag on the moon to absolve itself from all accusations? No, it’s not.
Regardless, when this question was posed to ChatGPT, asking what response should be given now that India has raised a flag on the moon and is taunting Pakistan, the answer was that the moon doesn’t discern between Indian and Pakistani nationality.
The answer was, “The moon is a celestial body where these discussions or border issues don’t hold. It’s possible that in the future, citizens of both Pakistan and India might be living together in settlements on the moon.”
In such a situation, will Indian citizens be able to face Pakistanis and have a conversation, those who were mocking Pakistan for not having a flag on the moon?
