Chennai is the one of the ancient city of India situated at the coast of
Bay of Bengal. It has beautiful white sand beaches and is the capital of
southern state of India, Tamilnadu. The city received unprecedented rain in the
last few days bringing it to stand still. All communication network including
Rail, Air, Road, Mobile went out of order. All areas were flooded with water
almost touching the first floors of building. People were worried about their relations
being safe as no news were coming out of Chennai. Residents were having a tough
time saving the lifes and reaching a safe place besides food, water and other
essential things.
Residents of Chennai in this matter of crisis showed a great restrain
and humanity in managing the crisis by helping each other. People from all
religion came on one platform and helped the people. No matter if the needy are
Muslim, Christian, Hindu all of them came forward and helped in this crisis
situation. Not long back there was a lot of talk of intolerance in media,
social media in India about different communities but all of that was of no
importance in this matter of grave crisis the city was facing. There has been
no reporting of rioting, looting or any kind of anti social activities in these
days. There has only been reporting of people’s participation, helping hand
across communities, providing food and shelter by those who can provide with
whole hearted welcoming the strangers as if they know them since long. The
resident of Chennai has shown what true India means. India is a country where
all religion lives in peace, people are tolerant about each other religion and
belief and always consider them as one family. Hats off to the city of Chennai
for showing the country its true culture which was being doubted by some ill
motivated citizens not long back.
