THE FLASH BACK..............
GOPIKA NAIR
During the final stage of world war II in 1945 the United states conducted two atomic bombings
against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. on August 6th
1945 the first atomic bomb has been
dropped by United States Aircraft on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The second bomb was dropped in Nagasaki on 9th
August , 1945. This atomic bomb which
was equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT ,flattened the city, which killed more than 10,000 of
civilians. The bomb which was dropped in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki
named as LITTLE BOY and FAT MAN. The bomb was a gun –type fission weapon made
with uranium-235, it is a nuclear bomb which was invented by Albert
Einstein. The bomb was first tested in Hiroshima but it took
lakhs of life. Not in Hiroshima
but the bomb was dropped in Nagasaki
also.
Nagasaki was a major ship building city and
military port. Hiroshima
was the primary target of the first nuclear bombing mission. At the time of
bombing Hiroshima
was a city of both industrial and military significance. Because of the atomic
bombing both cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki lost their wealth
and health. Today also most of the people
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been suffering from breathing
problem and new born babies are mentally challenged from their birth
itself. During the war most of them lost
their family and some of them lost their legs and arms.
Actually Nagasaki
was not America’s
target. There ere three potential targets but two of the cities they
withdrawn. One of them was Kyoto and the other was Niigata which was relatively large so these
two cities were withdrawn from bombings.
We the people can pray to God not
to repeat tragedy anywhere in the world. Each life is precious. We people not
have any right to take the lives of people only God has the power to take back from us.
