Was Jinnah Right ?

Shri Lal Krishna Advani ji was pulled up by the RSS bandwagon a few years back. His only guilt was he laid wreath on graveyard of Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Jinnah is seen in India as a traitor who divided India, a power lover, a Muslim fanatic and a killer of millions of Hindus and Sikh Punjabis, Hindu Sindhris etc. in communal riots soon after the declaration of independence of both the countries. In India, hardly a citizen believes that Jinnah was a peace loving person, a democrat or a secular person who extended rights to non-Muslims in Pakistan. But things are presented in a different way in a section Indian print media.

The Statesman in its 17 October 2010 issue printed a write up of ‘a veteran Pakistani commentator on public affairs’ with a title Jinnah was right . The columnist informed the readers that there was an abortive attempt to suppress Jinnah’s desire for equality of religions and the freedom to practice them all without fear or favour. In his ‘famous’ address on 11 August 1947 to Pakistani constituent assembly the secular constitution of the country was supposed to be laid. And the two countries will remain as good neighbors. But his desire was buried in his graveyard.

The fact suggests that Pakistani Constitution was drafted and passed by their legislative assembly with Islam as a state religion without any protection and rights to the non Muslims while Jinnah was very much alive. The constitution was left with many gaps by which the subsequent rulers could find many scopes to amend in favour of a theocratic and dictatorial state with very little space for democracy. Those rulers found natural friends in the enemies of India and left no stone unturned to destabilize India with the slogan of Jihad. Once I heard Benazir Bhutto raised Jihad to fight India for thousand years. Lets not to mention of those army dictators cum presidents of that country those who did nothing for their country except breeding militancy either to destroy communists of Afghanistan or to destabilize India. And the country of 63 years exists with a begging bowl is unable to protect its Muslim citizens in millions affected by the devastating flood. Yet those beggars have a choice of receiving fund of 5 million dollars from India through the UN.

I don’t require filling my empty stomach with the sale proceeds of a news paper with the publication of a sensational story. After crossing over 63 years, it’s foolish to find reasonability in Jinnah and creation of Pakistan. It’s the need of the hour is to extend all support to our brothers and sisters living life in hell with no prospect and no future. The enlightened new generation in Pakistan is no way willing to recall and repeat the history only for destruction. It is the realization of the time that the human civilization is much greater than Islam, Hindu or Christian etc. The wonderful human race living on the western frontier of India is there to contribute many things in art & culture, games & sports, science & technology and new thoughts to the world. Bin Laden & its gang will face the same fate as that of Hitler, Mussolini, Bush etc. those who failed to convert their entire nationalities to racist or fanatic barbarian.

Hey Ram !

What a shame! What a shame as an Indian! An epic hero of Ramayana turned God to many Hindu Indians for centuries. The hero is seen as an Avatar. No one found any trace of such human being in the pages of history. There are traces of Jesus, Hazrat, Buddha, Saarnath, Chaitanya, Vivekananda etc. in the history. Each great personality of his time contributed much to the welfare of human society. Shakaracharyas in Hindu also contributed much to the cultural development of Hindu society. There are lot of great sages, poets, writers like Valmiki and Vyasdev, intellectuals and social reformers those who sacrificed their entire lives for the great causes of the humanity. In Veda or Purana and in their many parts those are the great creatures of Aryan civilisation, no character like Rama or Ravana could be found there. It was none but Valmiki the great story teller of his time created the epic Ramayana. The stories in it became so popular that ferried in the society through the ballad singers. Thus the heroic struggle of an epic character was planted as a God in the mind of listners. 

The Aryans were the new entrants in the ancient Bharat Bhumi. Civilisations of Indus, Mehergarh and Dravir  were well established in this continent. The country of golden civilisations has been attacked many a time by the foreign elements in the last two millenniums. But only a few groups of them like Aryan and Mughals did not return to their respective homelands. They enriched our land and civilisations by their contributions in various fields of human development. The Vedas, Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Tripitaka, Din e Elahi and many such were their creations. But it cant be accepted that an epic character like Rama would be worshiped to cause pain for other sects or believers. Similarly, no sensible person would lend support in destroying temples of Rama at Ayoddha by the Muslim invaders. So, lets not behave like fanatic and lets be tolerant to non-believers of the respective religions. Lets live in peace.

What Allahabad High Court passed verdict was a rehabilitation and recognition to the Muslim invaders and attackers on the one hand and justification of destruction of Babari Masjid by the Hindu fanatics on the other. Whatever, there was no ready made solution to the vexed issue jostling for decades. So the warring factions must be pressurised to work out a compromise formula for the greater interest of the Indian nation.

A Star In The Cloudy Sky

She is far from Partha, an young guy having beautiful mind set. She will never return from the barren land where life ends prematurely. She left her deaf & dump son in a selfish world. She died of blood cancer. Partha left no stone unturned to delay her death by spending forty thousand dollars and exhausting even his last remains. He is now drowned to debt. He is still alive with his lovely son and he moves everywhere with a happy face all the time. He never buys consolation from others and he never regrets for whatever he lost other than his beautiful wife.

At midnight I gave him a wake up call and suggested to switch on his TV set and watch an English movie DEFIANCE. On the next morning I found a message in my mobile phone, "Uncle, its unparallel" The movie upholds humanism what communist, fascist or Zionist etc. failed to deliver. Lets talk little about democracy. The movie justifies arm struggle of the people hiding in the forest and those who devoid of any preparedness for combating Nazi forces. The guy perhaps tries to find an answer in the stories he reads in the newspapers on armed actions of the ultra left forces to destabilize the Bengal's ruling brand of communist.

If one goes very close to the guy he may get his real flavour of humanity. He believes in a world of living for others who never lost faith on even a worthless lot. He never believes in lending money but extending help. His financial debt is increasing day by day for his so called stupidity. Yet he looks so tall that the debt could not supersede him.
