A Letter To “Partition” From Those Who Left Their Homes

Dear Partition,

On 3rd June 1947, you asked us ” to be or not to be”, “to stay or not to stay”. That morning , the sun forgot to rise .It shivered the humanity with its wrath. We tried harder to carry our belongings with us, but what about the time we spent on our motherland? We had to left it in the bloodshed with sorrowful hearts.

We can’t express our feelings we were crossing the line to enter into the “parted land” looking past our home. The whole land which was wholly ours was chopped into the two. Prey tell us ,what was our mistake? Was it a mistake to carry the religious tag with us ,from which you identified us? And even today you’re identifying us from that “same” tag.

Please don’t repeat yourself. Now the land is not in a position to get chopped again. Please pardon the land for all its sins ,for all misdeeds of her. The nightmares of you ” the partition” still hover around us, they are still real for those whose homes were burnt ,sisters were raped , brothers were chopped..The ..What not?.. Don’t breathe life into yourself. We’ve kept the ” wrongs of partition” in the deep wrap of time.

Don’t let that come to surface. Your memories bring tears that don’t stop and keep flowing into the sorrowful river . That flames of fire which burnt our homes still rose in our minds. We urge you not to come again carrying the bloody wind. We urge you to forget yourself and us too. We urge you to give back the paradise of our heart. We urge you to give us back the days of bliss. We urge you to let us see the fair face of moon, as we bear the world nothing but good will .We urge you to forbid us from giving “you ” rebirth , as now we want to rise from the tumult of pain and rejoice our motherland.

Let us cut the fences we “men” made as the land don’t divide us but we. Our houses are waiting for us ,our people are waiting for us. Let’s meet and forgive the past. Let’s meet and forgive the past.

From,

Those Who Had To Left Their Homes,

Act Now For Climate Change Or Face Consequences

The choices we made under the name of development are bearing fruits in the form of pandemics, global climate change, population explosion ,rising sea levels, depleting natural resources, energy crisis, etc. We have developed a concrete jungle in which robots are living not human beings. When I was a child I was having a big playground to play. We literally played in soil, dancing ,running, falling, getting injured and what not. Now there are no playgrounds . So the children’s have shortened their playground on a 5 by 6 inch mobile. Today’s generation kids no longer play football , hide n seek in open. These games are a luxury for elite children’s whose parents can afford flats in big enclaves offering playground, gyms, swimming pools,etc. This will be huge setback for the health and immunity of kids in future. Yes they will be intelligent ,ahead of time, open minded, unorthodox but remember they will be just like a microc...

A Short Data Analysis of Electoral Bonds : According to Association for Democratic Reforms, 92% of total Electoral Bonds were purchased by corporates in the period March 2018-January 2021 .Keep in mind that 2019 was a general election (Loksabha) year. BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party ) alone got 60.17% of total donation through Electoral Bonds between 2017-18 and 2018-19.. This amount is almost Rs.1660.89 Crore. In the year 2018-19, BJP got Rs.1450 Cr. while Indian National Congress got Rs.383 Cr. In the period of 7 years, 2012-2019, donations from corporations increased by a whopping 974%. The ruling party is the highest beneficiary of this scheme. Now the point is whether all politicians get a level playing field or not. Answer is NO. Here is Why Electoral Bonds Do Not Create a Level Play...

Wondering Why India Ranks As A ‘Flawed Democracy’? Here Are 22 Possible Reasons

What Leads To The Fall Of Democracies? Recently, the Democracy Index Report was released by the EIU and a countrywide debate started, on the fall of India by 10 odd places i.e from 51 to 41; citing the reason as “Erosion Of Civil Liberties”. The facts tell us numbers and the numbers come from observation. The fallen democracy index is a gentle reminder that the world is watching us. It will be suitable to commence my article by quoting Dr. Ambedkar. “An ideal society should be mobile, should be full of channels for conveying a change taking place in one part to other parts. In an ideal society, there should be many interests consciously communicated and shared. There should be varied and free points of contact with other modes of association. In other words, there should be social endosmosis. This is a fraternity, which is only another name for democracy. Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of asso...
