SARABJIT SINGH'S DEATH: A PSYCHOLOGICAL REFLECTION OF INDIA & PAKISTAN

Death of Indian Prisoner Sarabjit singh in Pakistan and attack on Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranja in Indian Jail raises many questions in my mind. It steers my brain about Morality, Politics, History and Culture of India and Pakistan. The death of Sarabjit is a Psychological reflection of grim reality of Culture and Politics of both nations. A psychology deeply rooted in Violence, Hatred and Ignorance.

Few centuries back Britisher’s driven by greed to have every resource on the Earth for their consumption, came to the land of Highest morality in the world à INDIA.  A land where goal of Human is not to fulfill his earthly desire (lust) but to help his brother live a better life. Buddha, Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam are its perfect example. Britisher’s came here and saw that Indians are too simple, Innocent and religious. They started to trick Indian and gradually occupied entire India. Innocent and simple Indian gradually wake up to the cunning reality of Britisher’s and started to unite for fighting against British rule. Britisher saw that the fundamental principle that binds Indian is their religion and they played their cunning move of “Divide and Rule”.  They broke the unity of Indian on religious basis à Hindu and Muslim. This policy did help them to prolong their rule in India, but ultimately they had to go back to their Native place.  What left behind was a Blood Soaked land of India and Pakistan.

Innocent brothers were living blissfully in the lapse of their mother. A cunning outsider came to their home, looted them, divided them and went back. What left behind were the same two brothers fighting each other like animal, and where is the outsider??? He is living happily in his native land.

More than 65 yrs have passed and we India and Pakistan are still playing at the hand of British policy of “Divide and Rule”. 65 yrs and we haven’t learned anything. The violence, Hatred and Ignorance that blood-soaked my motherland 65 yrs ago and tore its heart into two pieces –India and Pakistan, is still destroying its life.

Are we Idiot enough to let our violent past ruin our present and future? Haven’t we learned anything in these 65 yrs? What are we teaching our children? Violence? Hatred? Ignorance? Are we making them men or beast?  Mohamad Ajmal Kasab an innocent poor boy (every child is born innocent even a terrorist), was transformed into a beast by Violence, Hatred and Ignorance. This is what we are making our children. This is our reality. Both India and Pakistan are poor nation and instead of giving our children Education, Nutrition and Care we are giving them Violence, Hatred and Ignorance. This shows that our Government and Political system too did nothing to change our culture (of Violence, Hatred and Ignorance). Politicians instead of educating their people have used same British policy of “Divide and Role” to rule India and Pakistan.

The Indian and Pakistani people are sickà by Violence, Hatred and Ignorance and we think killing each other will cure us, but our Pathology is millions times more savage.

Every time I hear news of violence between India and Pakistan, I ask myself M I a child of Human or Violence? Every time I sit with my niece to teach her, I wonder if I’ll teach her violence or Humanity. I've to make a choice. So does India and Pakistan.

Jai Hind.

BLOWSOME MOVIE: MUNNA BHAI CHALE JAIL

शहर अमीरों के रहने और क्रय-विक्रय का स्थान है। उसके बाहर की भूमि उनके मनोरंजन और विनोद की जगह है। उसके मध्‍य भाग में उनके लड़कों की पाठशालाएँ और उनके मुकद़मेबाजी के अखाड़े होते हैं, जहाँ न्याय के बहाने गरीबों का गला घोंटा जाता है। 

These are the opening the lines of Novel “RANGBHOOMI” by Premchand written in 1924. The following case drama proves that these lines are still relevant.

Giving its final hearing on 1993 Bombay Bomb blast case, the Supreme court sentenced Sanjay Dutt.

A.      5 years for illegal possession of a 9mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle brought from Terrorist Abu Salem.

B.      Declare Not a Terrorist.

As soon as the verdict was announced some people started a movement to seek Pardon for Sanjay Dutt.

This drama is a perfect recipe for a serious debate and I have some very important questions in my mind:

First, If the crime which Sanjay Dutt(A well known actor, son of Rich/Actor/Politician) had commited, were done by a boy Harry Khan(an unknown boy, son of a poor Indian Muslim), had the supreme court still sentenced him for only 5 yrs and declared not a terrorist?

Forget the Judment. Would Indian people have shown the same support for Harry Khan which they are now showing for Sanjay Dutt?

Second, Is Supreme Court Judgment, just a piece of paper, which Politician can use to wipe there ass? What is the value of Supreme court Judgments if it were to be revoke by Politicians(Governer or President). Why all this drama of Hearing and Investigation? And why the Hell have we written on our National Emblem “सत्यमेव जयते”?

Third, What is the Indian Journalism doing? Why are they not questioning the moral of People who are asking for Pardon to Sanjay Dutt? Why are they not discussing the above mentioned points ? Some section of media are even supporting Sanjay Dutt. What trend is media setting by supporting a person declared criminal by highest court of India? Are we not sending a message to our people that if you are rich and influential the rules of Law do not apply to you?

My views are as follow:

Sanjay Dutt should be happy that he has been declared “Not a Terrorist”, even after buying weapons from Terrorist. Also the Quantum of punishment is too less for the crime which he had committed. If a common boy I (Harry Khan) purchase weapon from Terrorist and caught by police, I will be declared a terrorist by Media and common people even before court Judgment.  (Yes I m questioning the viewpoint of Media and common people based on religion). Well why would terrorist sell me weapon, if they do not have good association with me? Do terrorist just give weapon to anyone like me whom they do not know? (This is a point to ponder)

Those people who are seeking Pardon for Sanjay Dutt have no Moral at all, especially, Some Lawyers, Politicians and Members of Film Industry. They have shown their true color by supporting a criminal. They are Traitor.

I believe Sanjay Dutt is likely to get Pardon from Governor of Maharastra. Reason is very simple: Most Politicians in India do not have Moral. Our Politicians are Bourgeoisie not Patriot.

One last thing:

The Law n Order, Judiciary, Government Machinery are all Just tools made by Higher class called Bourgeoisie, to control common people and serve needs of Bourgeoisie. The Law applies to us (common people), not to Bourgeoisie. 

AUCTION OF MAHATMA GANDHI BELONGINGS

Recently there has been a trend of putting on auction the items belonging to the great persons of world history. Mahatma Gandhi’s personal belongings were recently put on auction by Antiquorum Auctioneers in New York. There was hue and cry in India over the auction, the government swung into action to stop this auction and was even ready to bid on the auction, but was prevented from doing so by restraining order from the Delhi High court. Finally Vijay Mallaya bought all the items and declared he bid for his country at the auction.

I have read few times Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography “The Story of My Experiment with Truth” and I ‘m inclined toward Gandhijee’s philosophy of life. I personally feel that Mahatma Gandhi is Buddha of Modern age. The place which Buddha has in religion, Gandhi holds same position in Politics.

My views on all this drama of auction is as follow:

Firstly Gandhijee does not belong to India alone but to the entire Humanity and that’s why he was shot dead. So Indian should not make public outcry if a foreigner possess any of the Gandhijee’s belonging. Indian should not be that much possessive about the man who belongs to entire humanity. My only advice to such possessive Indian in this matter is “Grow up Kiddo”, you are yet to fully understood Mahatma.

Secondly Gandhijee is not known for a pair of glasses, a watch etc, etc. This giant is known for universal Idea of Truth and Non-violence. So if someone buys Gandhijee’s belonging that does not means he posses Gandhijee’s Ideas too. Look around the world, the people who posses Gandhijee’s idea does not have even a single material belonging to Gandhijee, what they have is his thought in their head and this very thought is driving their entire life. Martin Luther King Jr., Baba Ampte, Dalai Lama, Aung san suu kyi, Nelson Mandela and Anna Hazare are few peoples who are possessing what was ones Gandhijee’s belonging: His Principles.  Gandhijee is not a pair material but Ideal for human life, which cannot be confined within the material boundary. So people should not make such hue and cry on the auction of the Material of a man who never ever cared for any material and spend his life half-naked.

Thirdly all those who bought Gandhijee’s belonging are the one who doesn’t even have the slightest idea about the life and Philosophy of Mahatma, for them he was like a Rockstar, so all they want is his clothes and sandals. Look at the life of Mahatma Gandhi and those who posses his belonging and you will see they are on extreme opposite side of Curve of Humanity. Gandhijee lived simplest possible life, while buyer of his belonging lives most luxurious life. I leave other comparisons to reader’s curiosity.

Finally, if anyone wants to posses anything belonging to Gandhijee, they should read his Autobiography and other works, and shape their life according to Mahatma’s Idea. In this manner they will posses more wealth belonging to Gandhijee than any of his belonging.
