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,
Radcliffe Line,

IS GANDHI FAMILY A BLESSING OR BURDEN FOR THE CONGRESS ?

     Going through the history from 1985 to 1970 Congress was a cadre based party valuing its workers and leaders. But the situation changed rapidly after the 1969 split when Indira Gandhi was ousted from the Congress Party by S. Nijalingappa. Then Congress (I) became a dominant party , emerged victorious thereafter and Indira Gandhi leadership turned into a “personality cult” in the span between Bangladesh Liberation war and emergency. The Congress turned deeply towards dynastic politics when Rajiv Gandhi was made PM. Old Guards Vs Young Turks :      If we will look towards Congress Party history we get that whenever there is a leadership crisis in the Congress, the party looks towards the Gandhi family and this is what happened in the 2019 CWC meeting when Sonia Gandhi was made interim president . Weren’t there other leaders from the Congress other than the Gandhis to lead the party? Yes there were leaders like Bhupesh Baghel (now Chhattisgarh CM), Captai...

India’s Security Post 26/11

                         India’s Security Post 26/11 26 November 2008,it was a cool evening ,everything seemed calm everywhere except the running of passengers to catch the local train-the lifeline of Mumbai. No one was expecting that after sometime all is going to change. A disaster came for which we were caught unprepared partially if not completely. TV sets were tuned into news channels as they started streaming the live coverage of terror attacks on multiple locations in Mumbai-the heart of Indian Economy. A cool-calm evening was turned into heart wrenching nightmare. It took 3 days for the attack to come to an end only when  NSG (NATIONAL SECURITY GAURDS)  in co-operation with the local security apparatus ended the siege by eliminating all the militants except one (Kasab) .The attackers did what they wanted to. That is to terrorize the civilian population, foreign tourists( probably je...
