It’s a bad morning the time I heard that regime is
changed. Now what will happen to country, what is going to happen to the
central idea of unified India? I was afraid day before I’m worried today. What was
expected as per seculars did not happen what was expected by communal forces can
be seen now. What kind of mandate is this when it was already written in the preamble
that no party other than UPA will or can lead our country? I was shocked it wasn’t
a desired mandate it wasn’t a mandate of intellectuals or of prime time debaters
then why on earth we are forced by communal forces to accept it?
Well in between my thoughts Maa slapped me hard saying “TERA
KUCH NAHI HO SAKTA 9 BAJE TAK SOTA RAHTA HAI” without wasting my time I answered I was thinking about our country
Maa. She in no second replied leave it for intellectuals they were taking care
of this great country and they will, you don’t have to worry. I remained quite
since Maa knows it all like eminent writers, journalist and intellectuals do.
Ohk so what it was a breakfast of repeated slaps I gathered
some courage and stepped out. God knows why but day before I was asked to have
some fear as UPA was reduced to 44 and if something happens like Godhara
Gujraat who’ll save us ? It was approximately 11:30 am people were roaming
around without any fear as if they still living in a country of seculars but I was
alert I knew something is going to happen. I thought to call my friend and ask
him what’s going on so I asked Khan Bhai to fuel some balance. Two people were
talking at the shop about new government. One of them said things have changed exponentially,
day before we were living in peace now you’ll see country in piece, in no second
I was favoring his thought he was secular I guess while second person countered
asking how? I jumped in with a confidence equal to Everest saying don’t you remember
Gujraat, he said no what happened there (obviously with fake smile and concern)?
First person in exact proportion of my
confidence that can change the world said then government killed more than
thousands and now he is our PM, alas! I started smiling with a hint of victory
as this alone example of Gujraat can win situations. The communal person who
was favoring NDA said oh yeah I do remember do you? Do you remember Godhara or
Kashmiri Exile or Mumbai Blast, 84 riots and many more? I could have answered
him, I could have said you are extremist you just following RSS teachings but I
thought he is by choice an extremist I must ignore him and I did.
While examining watch I came to know I’m late by this time I
must be at home and started 200 meter journey back to home. For the first time
father was waiting for me. In his usual tone he grabbed my senses asking “AA
GAYE JANAB KAMA KE’’. I went to KOPE BHAWAN while father was banging and
banning my freedom of speech. He is like present government though a congressi
by birth.
Why? Day wasn’t passing rapidly as if Modi ordered earth to
slow down its revolving nature and disobey the rule of Almighty. 6:00 pm Maa
said come before 10:00 pm as I was about to leave for some extinct fresh air. I
laughed and said you could have asked me to carry oxygen cylinders, you know
communal forces are on a run. Because she knows all thing as said in the beginning
she replied don’t worry there are eminent Sahitykaar ready to return their
awards if you threatened or asked to do something which can curve your freedom
of life, now days they are acting like a good politician. Convinced, confident
and ready to leave before sister’s special appearance. She being a BJPian is
just like a tension for seculars like me. Where are you going? Tumse Matlab I said.
What was Maa saying to you? Me –why? Just tell me when repeated riots happened
in Congress regime where were these eminent writers with their awards? Did they write a single word for unity
diversity and freedom of speech or they just forgot? Well I could have replied
her, that wasn’t the right time and they were not living in fear, they did
write about freedom of minorities and were awarded as well. I added further in
my thought process (in the mind hiding some communal violence and brutal
killings) that time they saw peace and
Bhichara among us but today its all lost and this is why they are returning their
awards to bring it back. But talking to a communal person is useless. What I said
was why can’t you think like us like seculars sister? She with politeness at
peak slapped me hard infact twice. The whole of world is against me against
seculars. This is why UPA rule was best at least we were allowed to go anywhere
or to do anything without fear.
In between all this I started feeling sunrays at my face with a musical note of
Maa saying “UTH JA AB NAHI TO CHAPPAL SE BAAT HOGI SAWA 9 BAJ GAYE HAIN LOG
SUBAH HI UTH JATE HAIN AUR IN MAHARAJA KO 10 BAJE SUBAH TAK SONA HOTA HAI”
