Breakfast in Dhaka, Lunch in Delhi & Dinner in Lahore: A Distant Dream!
One became the mother of democracy in India, where the rape of women is still not fully investigated, corruption is high, and law and order is bought with money to this day. Any woman even in modern India today probably scared to report her rape
“This part of the world was considered as wealthy as Europe as back as 1500’s. We were a good host to Mugal invaders and then followed by the British East India company.
Millions of people died to obtain the birth of a divided India on the 15th of August 1947. Millions more died trying to leave what was a home for a new home under a new sky.
Many perished in the journey due to hate, we killed poor and raped women on all sides. The crime of women just to listen to the matriarchal society. Women suffered so much and yet no one talks about them.
They left the land of their birth and started a new place as home. Nothing can ever replace memories.
We were blinded by hate, all sides bent on doing worse than worse to outnumber each other in atrocities.
A few days later all was calm amidst the dead bodies’ smell, shortage of food, shelter, and ruined lives. Yet we were under a new sky.
This was India Sky, Pakistani Sky and later to become Bangladesh Sky. Yet we have forgotten that Sky is only one and it cannot be divided.
We left the horrible occupation for freedom for which we were ill-prepared.
The birth of India and Pakistan was built on the bodies of immigrants.
One became the mother of democracy in India, where the rape of women is still not fully investigated, corruption is high, and law and order is bought with money to this day. Any woman even in modern India today probably scared to report her rape. She knows too well that she will be interrogated by a Police IO, Police Senior, DCP, Press, and lawyers. She will be virtually ripped apart so she probably thinks no point in reporting.
Mother of democracy but really we are not as we are divided on caste, regional biases, language bias, religion, and yes we are independent. Many argue with me that at least we are in control of our own destiny. I don’t agree with this destiny which takes us to an unknown path.
India is known for thousands of years as the land of learned people, peace-loving, law-abiding people.
How is corruption rampant in India? How will anyone get justice? Not possible unless you have money and connections.
We have achieved some economic progress due to some of our policies instigated in 1970 and 1980.
Pakistani where shall I start, it is quite close to being labeled as a failed state. It was formed yet again by two people Mohammed Allam Iqbal and Mohammed Ali Jinnah. It was supposed to be a Muslim household and a democratic one. Democracy in Pakistan never flourished and the institution of the army always had an upper hand in all things.
In the beautiful fields of Punjab, the Deseret of Sind was never allowed to belong to the workers. Landowners controlled the masses and hence wealth did not move much to the workers.
Pakistan means Pure Land but it’S politics is filthy. It was a dreamland for the immigrants but in 1960 it suffered the Bengal massacre which lead to the division of the country. An independent election won by Bengalis was not accepted and led to the birth of yet another country under another Sky!!!
The land of pure is often finding it hard to control its 4 provinces. Lovely people of Punjab are made to fight Sindhis and etc.
Economical it has also not prospered due to lack of education, misunderstanding of the Teachings of Islam, early marriages, etc.
So, in the end, we are worse off than what we were once and worse led by foreigners. We must continue the search for a United India and strengthen the hands of the ordinary people.
We can be the biggest economic market if we still believe in
Breakfast in Dhaka
Lunch in Delhi
Dinner in Lahore
We will have no choice but eventually to come and find a way forward.
