Jannat Mein Ek Baar Fir Bhayanak Jahanoom Yeh Aag Kab Bujhegi?

Ali Peter John

What happened in Pulwama (Kashmir) must have put the devil to shame and made God who created Kashmir as his “heaven on earth"(Dharti pe swarg) God must have gone into his thinking place and worried and wondered what has gone wrong with human beings to commit such inhuman and ghastly crimes against human beings. And the entire country must be or has to be and every Indian must bow their heads in salute to the soldiers who had put their own lives and the lives of their families and loved ones to save the valley of terror, and had to give up their lives in the most gruesome attack by terrorists who have the audacity of taking the responsibility for an act that cannot be forgiven and can certainly not be forgotten.

It will only be in the fitness of things to know that these acts of terrorism against our army is now becoming a dangerous and dastardly habit among those who hate to live in peace and are deadly against maintaing peace and it is now more than high time to stop making angry and hollow speeches against what has happened because what has happened so much can not be made to unhappen, but it is time to take the kind of action against the perpetrators of such a heinous crime that has shaken up not only every Indian leader of whatever party or and every Indian of whatever caste, creed or community. There will be a storm of reactions to this unpardonable action, but reactions are not the need of the hour, but the entire country and even people in countries all over the world will have to put their heads together to find solutions to this ‘war of the cowards'. If a political solution can be found, it is better that it is found now because enough is enough.

These attacks have become common since the last two decades. It all started with Kargil and before action could be taken in a serious manner, there were other attacks in sensitive places in the valley in which hundreds of our brave soldiers lost their lives without being given a chance to put up a fight, because if they had to fight these cowardly terrorists, they would have mingled them with the dust. That has been the history of our gallant soldiers.

The Prime Minister, the President, the Home Minister, the Defence Minister and every Minister at the Centre, in the valley and other states have raised their voices in sheer anger, but this is what they have been doing every time there has been a ‘haadsaa'like this. What is desperately needed now is action and according to many thinking and genuine Indians, it is time to even have second thoughts on ‘ahimsa'(non-violence). How many more young and precious lives will we lose in the name of ‘ahimsa'? According to a senior writer who has been involved in the fight against violence and has even been jailed because of his fiery thoughts,“ab bohat ho chuka. Aur kitne jaane lekar shaant hogi yeh ahimsa ka silsala? Ab zarurat hai hathiyar uthane ki aur halla bolne ki. Baatein bohat hogayi ab khoon ka badla khoon ka aagaya hai. Yeh mera gussa nahi bol regards hai, yeh mere watan ka pyar aur mere watan ke faujyon ke liye shradha aur sahanbhooti bol rahi hai. Aur kitne der khamosh reh kar sahenge hum yeh zulm aur atyachaar. Aaj hum sabko kasam khaani padegi ki ek aur hamla hone nahi denge hum,na sirf Kashmir mein, lekin watan ke koi bhi hisse mein".

The angry feeling is unanimous, but at this crucial time we need to think about the soldiers who have become martyrs (shaheeds), those who have been seriously injured and their families.

There is certainly a need to raise funds, to donate blood and make other small sacrifices to show our gratitude to our men fighting our wars to keep us safe and sleep peacefully while they live and die in the shadow of fear all the time.

We in the industry see every attack life this as a subject to be made into a film, like we had films like ‘Border',‘Refugee',‘LOC'and the recently released ‘URI'based on the surgical strike. But we need to do much more. Soon after the Indo-China war the entire film industry had come out on the streets and inspired Indians to do their best to help our jawans and the way the India reacted moved one and all. The industry has been making other but smaller attempts to encourage our soldiers fighting on the border and other sensitive areas.

What we need now is the kind of action the industry took in 1962. Will the industry rise to this grave situation, or will our stars and other celebrities have their bouncers and other security men to fight their own little ‘wars'to save themselves and their families and property?

Socho mere watan ke film industry wallon. Yeh watan aur is watan ka har sipahi utna hi aapke liye jaan khatre mein dalta hai jitna har watanvaasi ka. Ab waqt hai unko dikhane ka ki hum unke saath hai har waqt.
