Just Thinking

OFFICE main khali baitha hoon to socha ye likhhoon. Khas baat ye ahin ki mughe pata nahi main khali kyon baitha hoon aur mughe yebhi pata nahi ki main aage kya likhne wala hoon. Parso raat ko sote samay kuch line dimag main aayi thi kuch is prakar thi

“Main hindu nahi, agar hindu hone ka matlab kisi dharma ya jaat se door rahna hain.” Doosri line soch hi pata usse pehle need aagayi. Aur abhi fir kuch socta use pehle sir ne kam ke liye bula liya. Iska matlab bhagwan signal de raha hai ki line sochne layak hi nahi hain.

Freedom at Midnight pedhte samay kale ek bahut hi touching description aaya. Ye Juda tha Indian army ke division se. ADC to Viceroy Louis Mountbatein, Yacoub Khan who hailed from family of nawab of Rampur decided he had to go to Pakistan, because he can’t see his future in Socialist India. He tried to convince his mother but she didn’t budge from her ground that she won’t leave India. He left her with promise he would visit her every year. He didn’t kept his promise because he was leading a battalion of Pakistani army into Kashmir and facing him from India Side was another Moslem, a Khan who also belonged to Rampur but made different choice from the ADC to stay in India. Named Col. Younous Khan, Yacoub's elder brother.

I thought this should be the high point of today reading and closed the book and went to sleep. Depending upon their thoughts and perceptions people choose at the time of partition some decided to stay back and we the Indians didn’t treat them the way we should have.
