A BLOODIED LEAF FROM MEMORY- 1947 PARTITION OF INDIA

A BLOODIED LEAF FROM MEMORY

And then the ENEMY captured Lahore and proceeded to massacre the non Muslim residents in the city- the indigenous people. 

Gangs of killers roamed freely. Law enforcing authorities were nowhere to be seen. Residents shut their doors & windows in terror, awaiting the inevitable, expecting the worst.

There was NO law and order in Lahore just as there had been NO law and order in Multan and Rawalpindi earlier, now resembling ghost towns. The barbarians had wiped out civilisation.

Those who stepped out to fetch water from the street taps, buy food or milk for the babies were instantly beheaded. The others perished in their own homes set ablaze by the highly charged Muslim mobs shouting “Allah hu Akbar”. Women and girls were dragged out of their homes to be raped and gang raped, none heeding to their anguished cries. They shouted “Mummy!, Daddy!” whose mutilated corpses lay in front of their eyes.

India, Bharat, Hindusthan, whatever one may wish to call her, had DIED.

Where was humanity? Where were the champions of Secularism? Where were the super powers? Where was the UNO? Where was God?

Weeks later the INVADERS were to head for Srinagar, raping, looting, burning along the way till the Indian army, flown in post-haste, confronted them just 12 miles short of Srinagar, the capital, where the residents heaved a sigh of relief.

Was “Partition” a non event like the bite of a mosquito or a devastating, crippling, major attack by a “beast” that mutilated India, devouring a leg and an arm, claimed two million lives, brought the frontier down from Khyber to Wagah, with gangrene spreading in torso?

How patriotic are those who “deny” Partition like those who deny the Jewish Holocaust? How right are they who do not wish to talk about Partition of India, fearing civil war and their own death?

Are they serving or betraying Truth? Are they brave or cowards? Can the cowards defy common sense and the entire wisdom of mankind, all the lessons from history, all Laws of Nature- and still hold on to LAND?

What do YOU think?

PS: Please preserve this “leaf from memory” and save it for the coming generations, for the humanity – till eternity.

Success is therefore defined by those who “achieve” it convincing the members of  community / society.
