In the aftermath of the Ahmedabad plane crash, political cartoonist Satish Acharya shared a deeply reflective message about how we respond to such tragedies.
He spoke about the unsettling tendency of some people to link the victims’ deaths to their past lives—as if suggesting they somehow deserved their fate.

Instead of mourning the loss, conversations turned toward karma and rebirth.
Acharya questioned this mindset.

Why do we rush to assign spiritual reasons instead of simply feeling grief?
Why the need to explain tragedy through belief?

The crash took real lives—mothers, fathers, children.
Families are left broken.
There’s no comfort in saying, maybe they did something in a past life.
It only disconnects us from their pain.
Acharya emphasized that belief in karma is personal—but using it to justify suffering is insensitive.
It shifts focus from compassion to cold rationalization.
He reminded viewers that tragedy demands empathy, not analysis.
Victims should be remembered as people—not as souls being punished.
Our first response should be human: to feel, to care, to stand with those grieving.
Not every event needs a spiritual explanation.
Some just need silence and support.
By turning pain into philosophy, we lose sight of humanity.
As Acharya said, Let them be remembered as human beings.
In the face of loss, that is the least we can do.
