On 26th of Nov. 2008, an untold, unseen, unthinkable thing happened at our very own Mumbai. That is the day my husband Pramod was suppose to arrive at Mumbai airport past midnight. I was in Bhubaneswar at that time and did not know what happened in the night of 26th. On 27th Pramod was suppose to catch an early morning flight to Bhubaneswar. When we got up from sleep at 5.30 AM in the morning, I saw yahoo news in internet and was kind of shocked.. I was bit worried because the same day Pramod would have arrived at the airport. But, nevertheless without anticipating any foul play we went to pick him up at the airport. The flight he was scheduled to board was delayed by a few hours. We waited till the flight landed. We scanned every person getting down from the plane but they were not looking like Pramod in any ways. We waited and were there till the last person took her luggage and left the airport. Now we are very worried.. Don't know whom to contact and how to get some information. Somehow after trying for few hours we finally got the news that he did not get into the plane that day. We had a sigh of relief. But was that a relief in anyways? I was thinking about the hundreds of people that were victim of this barbaric act in the heart of the city. My heart went out to the family members of the victims, the brave police officers and the victims.
At that hour someone from our own cabinet ministry makes a statement saying "There is a conspiracy theory behind ATS chief Karkare's killing". Why did he go in the opposite direction while everything was happening at Taj and Oberoi.. Whether there is any sanity or sense in these stinking statements, I was surprised to see countless news stories highlighting Antulay statement. There was a clear division among people - those that supported Antulay and those that criticized . To my horror I saw almost always the supporters are Muslims. Not a single muslim came against Antulay at least among those that commented the news element. Where as some pseudo secularist hindus supported Antulay too.. Now, I wonder in this country of ours, what the lives of hindus are going to be in coming say 2 decades. The people who conducted blasts all over India were almost forgotten. Now everybody's focus is on Malegaon blast that killed a few people. For a change they found another muse "A hindu Terrorist". What an amazing piece of discovery!! Indeed, everybody makes such a hugh a cry over this, that makes me really sick. We are getting away from the real trouble. What we are seeing in Malegaon is mere retaliation to what we have been through for centuries. For heaven's sake, hindu community has been a target of many wrath right from Muslim invaders to Christian conversion missionaries. At this hour atleast we should stand united instead of acting like a "Jaichand".
An encounter that caught and killed few armed Terrorists in Delhi also cause a huge furore about the innocence of the people that were killed. I wonder why this type of dirty politics always being payed and why are we tolerating this ever so silently? It is time for us now to act and vote the party that look less devlish among all the devils.
Jai Hind
