BAAPU : WHEN YOU GOT MORE PAIN ?

   To pay grief on the death anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi, every govt. employee has been ordained to stand-up in silence at-least for 2 minutes unless they will be a victim of violence guised in the form of some disciplinary actions against the violators.

   Every year on this very day a common dictum is reiterated with a handsome magnitude of clamor "de di humein azadi bina khadag bina dhaal" and in the same scenario the reckoning of nuclear power & other mass destructive weapons (MDWs) are well praised in parallel. Countrymen are being falsely motivated that not even a single drop of vital fluid has been cost to get the so called freedom, it seems as the Britishers have given it in the form of a gift to us in a spruced plate. Everyone knows that Britishers had send the bust of the son of the Hero of 1857-revolution as a breakfast to Bahadurshah Jafar, everyone knows that every mountain transformed into volcano & every rubble became ember after the martyrdom of Mangal Pande, everyone knows this freedom has been gained at the cost of the lives of Laxmi Bai, Tantya tope, Nana-Ji, Jhalkari Bai & many more offspring of this nation.

   Those who say that our freedom is a sole product of non-violence might not have visited "Jaliya-wala Baagh" the land doused with the innocent blood. Such people deny the daunting jobs performed by the Udham Singh who followed general Dyre up-to London to have a revenge of the massacre, Madan-Lal Dhingra who advocated in favor of Govt of India in the bench of London, Khudiram Bose who sacrificed his entire family. These people might be unaware of the magnitude of suffocation felt by Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev when their throats were knotted by those slavery ropes. Those who just fulfill the formal rituals of delivering hyperbolic speeches to pay homage to the martyrs of freedom perhaps forgotten that epic when Azad Hind Fauz was approaching towards Manipur from Burma & every soldier had to investiturate every single inch of land with their blood because their final destination was Delhi where they had to hoist the national flag of their own country.

   By the time of Rajghat ceremony, doordarshan will might have flashed the slogan "sunday ho ya monday roz khao ande". After putting one or two flowers on the Rajghat & after delivering a moral tribute in front of the camera, a number of V.I.Ps including some ascendant politicians, will proceed for having their lunch in which some fish & chickens have been already prepared by renowned cooking expertise. The liquor to which Mohandas Gandhi wished to annihilate just prior to the hours of freedom is a well established industry under the purview of govt. policies after the freedom & is a source of one of the major inflows to the revenue.

   Baapu ! you are revered at the paradox in this country & truth & non-violence are nothing but the synonyms of your name, you are requested to speak once more again, but you can't speak bcz you are clinically dead now, your vocal chord is no more in functioning, perhaps you might have not been able to see all these corrupt atmosphere where one makes his confronters silent on the edge of canons, though you might not  have remained silent for a long time but when you have uttered against all these, you would have been exiled.

   Please tell me when you felt more pain ? in 1948 when your chest received those three bullets or when you see the gruesome murder of your principles?, when you see a father selling his daughter to provide financial stability to the family?, when kitty- parties by the elites are cheered with imported scotch by the money of those poor who kept faith over their ballot?, when you see the people dying for cold & hunger....please Baapu speak ! when you got more pain ?
