Old Lady and Her daughter-in-Law

The night was dark. It was past midnight. Torrential rain created almost havoc in the dark night. The only sound audible was thunderbolt and the only light was sky light. I was coming back to Ghaziabad from Dehradun, after attending the marriage of my friend’s daughter.

Due to the bad weather, I was driving my car very slowly and carefully. My wife was seated on my side seat. She was very scared of the terrible, dark night. Suddenly, the environment almost blasted by lightning and thunderbolt. Scary, my wife held my hand tightly.

“We were very nervous. Perhaps it was the wrath of nature. If it had not been disturbed, nature’s fury would not have been had such an impact. I had wanted to tell the world …not to cut the trees, but…”

“Yes, look at the houses, people build. All are completely smashed, laid flat on the ground. But where we were? We have never seen such fury of nature.”

We did not realise that there was someone around us.

In the lightning, I saw an old woman jumping in front of my car. I applied the brakes with full force. The car stopped with a blaring sound. The old lady was badly wounded and her entire face was covered with blood. The scene was very ghastly. The wounded old lady came near to my car and pleaded with folded hand, to down the window glass.

She said, “My car has met an accident and fallen in a deep trench and her daughter is trapped inside the mangled car.” She requested to come with her and rescue her daughter.

Terrified wife asked to start the car and move away. But I thought that the lady must be in dire need of help and I decided to accompany the old lady and help her. Leaving my wife alone in the car, I came out of the car and followed the lady.

The lady limped and moved slowly. The car was very far and in the very deep ditch. We both reached to the accident sight. The car was badly mangled. A beautiful, young lady, very beautifully dressed in a red saree was lying unconscious trapped inside the car.

With great difficulty, I took the lady out of the damaged car. But after this, I saw another frightening scene. On the driver’s seat, another lady was laying. She was also badly injured. I reached near to her. The scene made me out of my senses. I became almost deaf and dumb and could not even breathe. She was the same old lady who brought me here. She was laying dead there on the driver’s seat.

After some efforts, the beautiful young lady regained consciousness. She asked, “Where is my mother-in-law?”

Shocked I and my wife muttered: “For the life of her daughter-in-law, she fought the death and rough terrain and delayed the death and save the life of her daughter-in-law.”

But, “How dreadful, that this should happen!”

“Yes…but this had never happened before…the rains, storms, lightning…come every year. And rainstorm is very heavy, so many a times during the rainy season…But such night never has seen before.”

There was an ancient temple in the forest, centuries old. It was built by the tribals…the peepal tree was much older. The triangular formed by the groove with a peepal, a banyan and a mango tree at each corner is unique and most auspicious with a temple in the centre. No harm could have come to it. “But look today…like a very bad omen, everything is devastated.”

In about five days, the blood rendered the air stinking and sickening. The police found nothing wrong in the forest, ensnared by the weighty grip of stones and mournful trees: her blood and rotten flesh identified only by her broken bangles and saffron saree. The road was declared an unsafe zone by the police and all the illegal manmade structures were removed for safety reasons.

The only structure left was ancient temple housing all merciful smiling Gods. The faith of devotees remained unshaken, as had all the creatures who were the companions of God in this little oasis.

The trees seem to be crying with tears. Their white sap dripped where the branches were hit by the car and had been ripped away.  The banyan, the peepal and the mango, all were wounded where the ill-fated car had hit. They stood like amputated humans, not trunks but stumps whose limbs had blown off by a Jihadi bomb blast. There was now a mysterious silence all over the place, not at all the tranquil peace of oasis. The devotees noticed that the parrots, the monkeys, the ducks, the pigeons, the koels had fallen silent as if dead by the impact of the accident and the death of the old mother-in-law. But no one questioned. All have tears.

Slowly and slowly, the tender green shoots grew from every nook and cleft of the accident site when the rains washed off all the scars and in a few months, the monkeys, the parrots, the peacocks, the pigeons  and searching for home, joined the Gods and played and smiled from their safe chambers, covered under the fresh green roof. Only a sadhvi dared to live there after sunset. It was said that the soul of the same old lady, entered into the body of this old sadhvi and had made the temple as her permanent abode through the branches of the grove.

Newlywed brides and wives regularly visit the temple to get the blessings of the Gods and sadhvi for a safe and peaceful married life.

A Wounded Mother-in-Law

Past midnight dark, raining heavily;
Me and my wife, going back home;
From a party, far from the maddening crowd.
Scared, driving slow;
Thunder and lightning, ceaselessly.
In the light of lighting, dreadful;
Saw me, a disheveled-bleeding old woman.
Stopping the car,
But scary wife asked, "Why did you stop the car? "
I pointed towards the woman bleeding,
The scene made wife scarier.
Bleeding woman came to the car
And pleaded to down the glass.
Terrified wife asked,
To start the car and move away.
Seeing her pathetic condition,
Thought me, she wanted some help;
Feared, wounded lady stammered to speak,
Brother, my car met an accident and fallen into a deep pit.
My daughter is trapped in the mangled car.
Please! Save her.
Came out of the car, accompanied the woman.
Reached far and deep, near the car;
Saw, a young beautiful woman trapped in the mangled car.
Took the unconscious daughter out,
But saw another badly-wounded-bleeding woman,
On the other seat.
The terrible scene made me out of senses.
On the other seat lay dead the same old lady.
The beautiful young lady regained her consciousness
And asked, "Where is my mother-in-law? "
Shocked I and my wife muttered:
"For the life of her daughter-in-law; her mother-in-law,
Fought death and rough terrain to save her dear daughter-in-law."

Religion and World Conflicts!

Now the entire world is always under fear and on fire, and all know this enemy who is a consistent threat to the lives of the people and world peace. Common and innocent citizens have to undergo a rigorous checking at every prominent place. The World spends billions and billions on this security. Now, a natural question comes to the mind which is this enemy who is posing such a threat to humanity and world peace? This enemy is none other than ‘religion’ which is followed and protected with a high respect for the people themselves. 

Similarly, India is plagued by so many types of conflicts, since independence, which is based on religion and identity. In the North-Eastern region, lakhs of people have lost their lives in conflicts based on religion and ethnicity. In Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya Christians have been trying to wipe out non-Christian people through terror or conversion. In these states, thousands of people have lost their lives.

In other states of the North-East, Assam, Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh, illegal Muslim intruders from Bangladesh, have been in conflict with the local population. These illegal invaders have been posing a serious threat to the local community. In all these states of the North-East, different tribal and ethnic groups are involved in bloody conflicts with each other. Now this problem has also gulped Bengal also where local Muslims, supported by illegal intruders from Bangladesh, have become a serious threat to the non-Muslim population. Recent past has seen large scale violence against non-Muslims.

In a survey conducted by UNO, India has been among the top five nations, which has lost a maximum number of her citizens in religious conflicts. From 1980 to 1990, India faced Sikh terrorism. In this country lost around fifty thousand citizens including the then PM Mrs Indira Gandhi, the then CM of the Punjab Sardar Benat Singh and one Chief of Indian Army, Gen. Arun Vaid, plus scores of MPs, MLAs, political leaders, journalists, civil officers, and scores of other innocent citizens. This terrorism was supported and financed by Pakistan.

Kashmir Valley is always in the news. This valley has become a curse for this nation. This disturbed Valley consists of five districts Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla, Kulgam, and Pulwama. The cause of this problem is also religion. Muslims are in conflict with non-Muslims. They do not want to see any non-Muslim in the valley. They are also successful in their mission. Muslims have wiped out all the non-Muslims from the valley. So this is sheer stupidity to call it a Kashmir problem. These rioting districts consist of only 15% of total area and the population of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. They are involved in spreading hate and violence in the valley. They have hatred for India and Hindus, and they love Pakistan and Muslims. Now they are guided by fanatic and intolerant ‘Wahabi’ Islam. Due to vote banks politics, hardly any strict action is never taken against the killers. Only handful of Sunni Muslims has been spearheading this anarchy.

The alliance with Pakistan ruins the Kashmir separatist movement. Pakistan has also been supporting the Muslims trouble shooters due to they are common religious. First Pakistan has totally wiped out the entire Hindu population of Pakistan. Now it sees India as enemy number one as India has 85% percent of the non-Muslim population. In Pakistan, there is many terror groups active based on religious identity and working in the name of Islam.

Pak army and authorities have been involved in brutalities in Kashmir on Hindus and Indian security forces in the most brutal manner. A figure suggests that around one lakh lives have been lost in twenty-five years of terrorism let loose by pro-Pak Islamic elements.

Same facts can also be applied on Bangladesh. Islamic groups are also involved in bloody conflicts with non-Muslim groups. Their only aim is to cleanse the non-Muslim population from Bangladesh. In 1947, there was around 40% of Hindu population in Bangladesh. But now hardly less than 10% are left. Similarly, Hindus of Pakistan and Bangladesh also are worst victim of human rights violation and denial of the dignity of life. Pakistan and Bangladesh are seen as a land of grooming and hosting terrorists and fanatics and repressing Hindus and other minorities. This association has brought a bad name to movement of Muslims.

These conflicts, based on Islam are not limited to South Asia. But the almost entire world is in this grip. Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Yemen, China, Europe, etc., etc., have been facing worst type of conflicts whose genesis is in Islam. Al –Qaeda, ISIS, Boko-Harem, LeT, JuD, etc., are some of the dangerous terror groups whose roots are in Islam. Apart from these terror groups, there are hundreds of terror groups in Islamic countries.

These Islamic groups are radicalised in mosques, madrasas and dargahs by maulvis and Islamic preachers, in the name of giving Islamic teachings. Investigative agencies have found direct involvements of mosques, madrasas and dargahs and their staff in terror activities. After Friday prayers too, at some places, large-scale religious conflicts take place.

Like Muslims, Christians are also involved in religious conflicts albeit less violently. Their main weapon is money and conversion. They very liberally give a different type of help to the needy and poor, and in return, these poor are converted to Christianity. It was seen that some places these conversions lead to violence. 

Christians, first open educational institutions, hospitals, orphanages, old age homes, missionaries, etc.. They pretend as if they are working for poor and downtrodden like philanthropists. But behind these social services is their hidden agenda of conversion and to spread Christianity.

Although all the countries have been a victim of religious conflicts, they also support these conflicts in one way or the other. PM Modi has been very vocal and assertive on world forums against terrorism and religious conflicts. So called the expert on religious conflicts and peace activists do not want to solve this issue. They have made religious conflicts as a great lucrative business. If the problem is solved these elements will be irrelevant and their big business empire of hate and fascism will collapse. So they always find fault with other and not with the real culprits of conflicts. For example, they always blame Hindus, Indian democracy and Indian security forces and declare this a complicated issue. They love unrest and violence because they get another chance of five-star conference and fat package.

Since British times, these corrupt intellectuals misinform the hoi polloi what to think. They fix and manage opinion on every issue: whether it was Muslims, Kashmir, minority appeasement, economic policies or women’s rights. Often, the intellectuals tended to be disruptive left supportive in their politics. Their behaviour understandable because capitalism depends on merit and they hate merit. To someone in a position of the wrong privilege, capitalism and merit can be huge threats to their business.

Conflict perpetrators get the advantage of peace nicks and use common factor, Islam, to impress Valley Muslims. These divisive elements know it very well that secularists, communists and intellectuals will never blame Muslims as even world’ superpower secular democracies fail to control Islamic terrorism. Only likes of President Putin or Communist China can control Islamic terrorism.

The root causes of religious conflicts are fanaticism of Muslims and Christians. They must be reformed as secular, liberal, tolerant, modern, democratic and non-violent faith. If they are not ready to change, they must be crushed very brutally. No mercy should be shown these conflicts creators.

Thanks, PM Modi: Hindus are a Factor

Thanks to Pm Modi, Hindus are a big factor in the presidential elections in America. Republican candidate Donald Trump said at the Republican Coalition concert “I’m a big fan of Hindu and a big fan of India,” . At the glitzy event, Trump lit Diwali lamps on stage and assured that if he became president, the “Indian and Hindu community will have a true friend in the White House”. His daughter-in-law Lara Trump also participated in a temple in Hindu Diwali celebrations at Virginia. The first time, in the history of America, Hindus are getting this type of honour. 
This is an absolutely a new development in the history of America. Earlier nobody cared for Hindus. Only Blacks and Muslims were wooed during elections in America. The credit for this kind of change goes to the pro-Hindu nationalist politics of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Now the impact is clearly visible in America. 
In, Edison, New Jersy, in the heartland of the Indian-American community, Trump was hailed as a man Hindus of America should vote for, as placards declared “Hillary for prison” and “Trump great for India”. Now Hindus of America are completely rallying behind Trump. Now they are one in the vote, support and elect Donald Trump as the President of America. 
In a big show, with the replica of Michael Jackson, entertainers and dancers dressed as US Navy Seals circling to Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born In The USA,’ the event was a big hit. It indicated on a big and strong alliance between Trump supporters and the nationalist supporters of PM Modi. So, Trump and Modi have understood the threat posed by the Islamic terrorists and fanatics and are Republican Hindus creating awareness about this serious threat. 
Trump’s 2016 campaign has been following to Modi 2014 election campaigning. Trump’s slogan, ‘Let’s make America great again’, could well be compared to Modi’s urge and desire for ‘achhe din’ for the people and nation. 
Both Trump and Modi are lone fighters that put nation and people above party and leaders. Both rely on very big media-driven publicity campaigns, and both pour scorn on paid, corrupt, and biased journalists. While Trump labels the media “scum”, Modi refers to the press as “news-traders”. To fight this type of media menace, Trump has associated himself strongly with rightwing websites and plans to set up his own Trump TV, unfortunately, if he loses; Modi’s supporters had also planned on starting NaMo TV. In an important similarity, the Indian media was badly against Modi in 2014 and so as the American media which has declared war on Trump. 
Yet both Modi and Trump are supported by the rise of nationalist and patriotic media united to the cause of nation and people. Both are popular figures who influence their followers and audience with artful and sound logics. Both have created a new type of politics where hyperboles have no place and it has been replaced by reality. Both have utilised social media to great effect to counter the lies and hate, spread by corrupt and fixed media. Both are facing head-on with political opponents who are examples of an increasingly discredited-corrupt political ideology driven by corrupt dynastic politics. Trump and Modi have placed themselves as the anti-establishment newcomers, one challenging the Washington elite and the other the robbers of Lutyens’ Delhi supported by an army of money spinner NGOs, fixed media and intellectuals and hyperbolic secularists, communists and Islamists. 
So, these forces are bent on seeing Trump defeated in 2016 as they wanted to see Modi lose in 2014? For many reasons, especially for his nationalist and patriotic appeal, Modi reinvented himself from simply a Gujarati ‘hriday samrat’ to a nationalist ‘vikas purush’. Trump, on the other hand, seems enamoured with his own brand plus Modi-model for entering the White House from a candid businessman that he has never even endeavoured to reach out to a wider constituency. Modi made himself and the BJP more electable by adding nationalism, honesty, development and safety to Hindutva. Trump, however, has also been trying to add these factors plus the fear of safety and the frustrations of the white working class. 
Trump has been very rightly pushing the immigrant-and-Muslim-as-enemy line by stoking fears of Islamic terror and fanaticism that the Democrats failed to recognise that in a diverse democracy, the interest of local people must be safeguarded. For election victory, you can’t win by only ignore the fear of local people. Modi was highly successful in developing a sense of confidence in younger voters. In America 2016, democrats assisted by media are trying to spread rumours and hate in the mind of women, blacks and immigrants. 
The only difference in Modi’s win and Trump’s possible victory is because the Congress-led UPA was far more corrupt, disgraced than the Democrats, and the US economy is in much better shape than the conditions confronting India in 2014, led by much-hyped economist Dr Man Mohan Singh, who ruined almost all the institutions single-handedly. 
It will be a great day for the Hindus of America and the world if Donald Trump wins who celebrated the birthday of Trump have got it impressively right. Hindus are the greatest beneficiaries of American free trade, yet Hindus have thrown in their lot with strong protectionist because they see in Trump, the only protector who that he can safeguard their lives and interest in America as well as back home in India from Islamic terror and terrorists. They have very rightly realised that Islamic terror and fanaticism are the biggest threat to humanity and Trump is the very apt choice to minimise that threat. 
American Hindus seem to have realised that elections are won by leaders who appeal to the best for them and not by those who love the worst predators. Media is showing very low standard of journalism by distorting, Trump’s so-called anti-women jibes simply can be compared with the dirty journalism which mocked and distorted Modi’s ‘50-crore girlfriend’ jibe, and 'chappen inch ki chhaati' and Trumpian chest-thumping do sound similar example of dirty journalism 
Yet whatever their similarities and dissimilarities, Trump must learn from Modi that democratic politics must be focused on the welfare and safety of the masses rather than getting carried away by the cheerleaders of the hollow slogans of democracy, multiculturalism, fringe minority groups etc. The moderating influence an RSS 'pracharak' has forced to tone down the advocates of hollow sloganeering of democracy, multiculturalism, minority appeasement and vote bank politics, even as the glare of US live TV debates has clearly shown Trump as a strong voice who has enough courage to say that he may not accept the people’s choice fearing to rig by the supporters of Democrats as is the tendency of Indians secularists and communists. Both Modi and Trump know their supporters well, but while Modi was astute and cautious about his opponents Trump lacks Modi brand be perfection, decency and caution. 
But who so ever enters the White House but Thanks, PM Modi: Hindus are a big factor in the presidential election in America. During Congress and UPA regime, Muslims were the strongest factors but PM Modi has made Hindus a strong factor in the electoral politics of India same is happening in America now. Everybody is talking about PM Modi, Hindus and Trump.

Religion and World Conflicts!

Now the entire world is always under fear and on fire, and all know this enemy who is a consistent threat to the lives of the people and world peace. Common and innocent citizens have to undergo a rigorous checking at every prominent place. The World spends billions and billions on this security.

Ban Pak Artists

Nationalist and patriotic people are doing the great service of the nation by creating a fear in the mind of the artists of Pakistan. India is almost at war with rogue and terror nation Pakistan for the last four decades. First, it was in the Punjab and now it is in Kashmir and other parts of the nation. The nation has lost more than a lakh people in Pak sponsored terrorism. This is an excellent and moral boosting idea. We are a proudly secular, liberal, open and tolerant society and surely cannot allow the artists from a nation where anti-Hindu and anti-India; fanatic and Jihadi jingoists rule the nation. Artists from Pakistan will bring such a hate and fanatic agenda from their nation and pollute the minds of the Indians, especially of Muslims, secularists and communists. A lively and creative energy have given the nation an industry that stands high in the world. We have to protect our film industry from such artists who hate India. It is in the national interest. The government must ban Ae Dil Hai Mushkil featuring Pakistani Fawad Khan as Pakistan has already banned the Indian movies and Indian channels. It is deeply worrying that in India so far no such ban has been imposed and the pro-Pak lobby is hyperactive to kneel the Indian and state governments to artists from an anti-Hindu and anti-India jingoist nation. 

Raj Thackeray and his MNS have been doing the great national service and almost imposed an undeclared ban on the screening Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and have created a sense of fear in the mind of pro-Pak agents in Bollywood and elsewhere. The guilty producer has agreed to pay up Rs 5 crore each to the Indian army welfare fund as ‘penance’ for casting artists from the rogue terror nation. Unfortunately, the Indian army and other nationalist people have not come openly in support of Raj Thackeray and his MNS.

Just as the India army has given a very befitting reply to Pakistan by surgical strikes, people of the nation should do another surgical strike by boycotting the Pak actors. Our secularism and tolerance need nationalism and patriotism. India must control and book the people who are creating sound and fury in support of Pak artists.

The action against Pak artists will be a good and big beginning. It will give confidence to our soldiers that nation is with them. We must respect the national sentiments and start behaving like a mature nation. Banning Pak actors from working in India will five a tough message and serve a great purpose. It will motivate Indian soldiers on the battlefield to wipe out Pak sponsored terror and terrorists. For future also, it will develop a strong spirit to react strongly.

But the Maharashtra CM Shri Devendra Phadnavis has given a wrong message, to help broker a settlement between Raj Thackeray and film producers, to ‘allow’ the film to be screened. This pressure will isolate Pakistan and these artists will put pressure on Pakistan to shun fanaticism and terrorism. This requires courage and good tactics. It will put India as a strong nation representing high moral position. The tough dealing with the Pakistan state to the people of Pakistan will carry a huge weight, and make India as a tough nation in the eyes of the international community.

The example of South Africa and apartheid is very appropriate here. The very powerful Great Britain was defeated as the state was identified with power elite which founded in its racial superiority. Here too the situation is also the same; the ordinary Pakistani is fully supportive and complicit in the state support to cross-border terrorism. Nobody from Pakistan, including Pakistani artists, condemned the killing of Indian soldiers at Uri and Pathankot by Pakistani terrorists.

Now, Indians must scrap the status of Pak, as the most favoured nation in India-Pakistan business. Actually, over the last decade, the trade between India and Pakistan has grown nearly eight times—from just $ 345 to $ 2.6 billion. More importantly, Indian export is four to five times more, Pakistan imports.

Now, Raj Thackeray, MNS and other nationalists groups take up cudgels against the status of Pakistan as a most favoured nation and trade. It’s time politicians, especially secularists and communists show some concern for the lives of Indian soldiers and citizens. Now, the nation must be very tough with the pro-Pak elements in the country, working to protect the interest of Pak artists. So the beginning must be with Pakistani actors in Indian film. This cut will be the most deadly to protect the interest of the nation.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD

Once said Bard of Avon in his famous drama “Merchant of Venice.” It is true also. Now a day, for rich and famous America is a glittering land. For common Indian Mumbai and especially Bollywood is a glittering land. And every year thousands of rich and wealthy, land in America to fulfil their dreams in that 24x7 glittered land. Similarly, common Indians run to Mumbai and Bollywood to see their dreams come true.

Dreams are a very beautiful world. It is not sinning to dream. One must dream. Dreams make a man happy. I also dream. During my youth, I also used to dream. But my dreams were confined only to Mumbai, Bollywood and Shahrukh Khan, King of celluloid world, Bollywood.

But there was no way to see my dreams come true. Living in a remote village, near Anantnag, in Kashmir Valley, my village was totally cut off from the modern world. I was only parroted to be a royal Muslim. In the name of education, I sometimes used to visit a madrassa, housed in a big and only pucca, construction of the village. Nobody knows who financed its’ construction and nobody could have asked this question at the peril of his life. There also head Maulvi or teacher was more interest in government grants than in teaching. Occasionally, he used to talk about some Islamic practices like offering namaz, five times a day, observing rozas or fast etc.. He also used to emphasise to keep the untrimmed beard, wear a skull cap and salwar kameez. Islamic militants were his role model and icon. My teacher or haziji, students used to call him with this title, was very fond of listening radio Pakistan.

But my role model was Shahrukh Khan, the Badshah. In the late dark hours of  the night, we people used to view television. Viewing the television was banned in the valley, as it was considered un-Islamic and militants were dead against it. When all the elders were in deep sleep, I used to watch, King Khan’s movies.

Ram Narayan Rajdan was my next door neighbour. On a dreadful night, five Pundits were massacred by Islamic terrorists and they issued a Fatwa to all the remaining Pundits to leave the village otherwise they would meet their slaughtered brothers in the other world. Fearing for their lives Narayans fled to Delhi from the village with tear and horror in eyes.

In Delhi, they lived in tents as refugees and after a great struggle, they established themselves in Delhi in somewhat satisfactory manner. After two years Ram Narayan again revisited his village with his family. They smeared the village soil on their forehead. When they returned to Delhi they took my son Salman aged ten, with them for domestic help.

Salman started helping Rajdans in their domestic chores and at Rajdan’s shop. In free time Ram Narayan used to teach Salman about basics of Hindi, English and Math. Seeing the interest of Salman in studies Ram Narayan got Salman admitted in a government school. Salman became very good in his studies and Rajdans never looked back in helping Salman in his studies. Days passed, months passed, years passed. Salman became an Engineer, thanks to the help and generosity of Rajdams.

In the campus placement, Salman got the job of a maintenance engineer in an American multinational company, Caterpillar, although Muslims grow up hating and cursing America. It is an irony that the same country is giving bread and honour provider to a Muslim family in this dark corner. First posting of Salman was in Mumbai. We were highly pleased on this miracle of Almighty.

After living and working for a few months, Salman reserved train tickets for us to Mumbai. We all were on nine clouds. On the fixed date we caught the train to Mumbai and reached Mumbai. Salman was there to receive us. Our joy was limitless. After visiting important places of Mumbai we all went to historical Wankhede Stadium to see an IPL match between Mumbai Indians, owned by famous industrialist Mukesh Ambani and Kolkata Night Riders, owned by none other than Shahrukh Khan, King of Bollywood. In that match, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Mumbai Indians. We all were very happy with our visit to Wankhede Stadium and victory of our favourite Kolkata Night Riders.

Joyously we were returning. We saw some noise and a riot-like situation in the ground. A wrinkled, stammering, dishevelled, shabbily dressed man, in his fifties, in an inebriated condition, were abusing and assaulting security guards and a young girl. From a distance, it appeared that perhaps, the man and the guards were pushing or slapping each other. We ignored the ruckus and came back to the flat of Salman, giving by the generous company.

Next day we all expressed our desire to see Shahrukh Khan or at least his bungalow Mannat. When we all, were standing in front of his bungalow we could not believe our eyes, whether it was a hallucination or reality. Salman purchased The Times of India to see the latest about the world. The headline “IPL’s Hottest Fight: SRK vs MCA- Move to Ban Star From Wankhede After Scuffle….” Hit my head and mind like a bomb blast in the Kashmir Valley.

Shocked and shattered, I wondered who had come to Mumbai, to see Shahrukh Khan, the King, the Superhero, the Super Fighter, but he was involved in a scuffle with guards and abusing a girl like street ruffians. Was yesterday’s it was Shahrukh Khan…? O, God! It can’t.

I fell on the floor. Thinking about Ram Narayan Rajdan, We uprooted him from his dear motherland but he taught my son. Our co-religious brothers blasted and plundered Mumbai several times, but same Mumbai gave shelter, employment to my son. We grew hating and cursing America but same America has fulfilled all our dreams in one go. We grew up idolising and adoring King Shahrukh Khan but the headline of The Times of India shattered our vision.

The World has changed but we have not.
