The Kite Runner

Recently i finished reading the Kite Runner by Khaled Huseinni....Amazing book! I must admit that it has been after a long time that a book has cast so much of an impression on me. Almost indelible..
The story is full of pathos...and is so intricately reflective of the life and the problems simple ppl have to face because of the existence and continuous reinforcement of these artificially created...redundant barriers of caste, class, religion and race. The story , set up in Afganistan, depicts the lives of two boys..age mates..brought up together...one a pashtun and the other a hazara . How their lives are so much different and the differences attributed to who they are.
One living a comfortable life until the emergence of the Taliban while the other being deprived of the same and subjected to continuous insults , humiliation , mortification, dishonor and even death.

The book just left me all dazed with tears in my eyes as to why this ever happened. Why do people though educated and well brought up let such injustice happen. Why cant the human race understand that life needs to be lived happily. What is this fight for? Who is going to carry these lands to his grave? Which religion empowers man with the right to deprive others of their right to live? What satisfaction does man get in ruining someones peace and satisfaction?

I wish we had some answers to these questions.
