About Me

I hope for a peace in which I can live together with my precious friends all over the world.
Unfortunately, wars and conflicts have pervaded the globe, discrimination and exploitation are widespread throughout the world, which threaten the lives of millions and have taken the valuable life of many innocent people..

Globalization is a new type of colonialism which aims to control the helpless and defenseless nations. It has penetrated in every corner of the globe. It has brought misery to many developing countries. Masters of globalization desire to obtain resources at lower prices and exploit poor nations. They create vast markets with no end and popularize overproduction and over consumption for the benefit of enterprises, not for common people. It forces people to modify their lives against their will. These irresponsible actions lead to the destruction of environment and evading all values for money.

In the light of the above facts, I decided to propagate peace by myself, without relying on the government. I am resolved to avoid a future where sisters and brothers point guns to each other.

I am strongly against all types of discrimination including racial, religious, gender and colour discrimination.
I am determined to involve in dialogue with others for the sake of mutual understanding to create friendly relationship on the basis of equality. I take the oath that I do my level best to realize the above objectives for the establishment of lasting peace throughout the world.
