They say we are
Hindus and should go to India and should not desecrate their land; for India we
are Pakistanis and are internal matter of Pakistan. Our ancestors chose to stay
back in Pakistan even after the partition, for they didn’t want to get
themselves dismembered from their soil.
In the soil …root of
people breaths, in the soil… images of past mirrors, in the soil …love of a
mother adheres… but when soil becomes sand… it is wafted away by the cruel
winds of time and then their remains only callous stones beneath the soles of
legs. All recognition of you is obliterated by the gust of time.
So, now time has
changed, we are strangers to our own soil. We have our homes but we don’t have
possessions to them now. The tents of refugee camps are our recourse to fight
against the gruesome realities of nature.
Amid the questions of
whose internal matter we are, the internal matter of our dignity and existence
is scared. We had a past, and that is
why we have this present but we are horribly clueless about any future. Thus
the internal matter of existing at all is in danger. To exist eternally through
the progeny is longing of all mortals, but ours is a question to survive the
moment… to talk about future of future generations seems a joke at present.
It is said that God
is present everywhere but our God seems to have got incarcerated within the
walls of a temple in Pakistan. That is why perhaps even he is unable to come to
our rescue. But is God also a Hindustani and a Pakistani? Has he also left us
because now we are in India? And is it that Gods residing in the temples of
India also feel that we are internal matter of the Gods residing in the temples
of Pakistan?
