Recently there has been a series of events reported from the coastal city Manglore in the state Karnataka. Each, worthy enough to jolt any civil democratic society. A lesser known group comes to lime light by this act. A group of 10 or at most 20 storm into a bar and drag out couples from the bar. Threw girls on the street, slapped and kicked men and valdalised the whole bar. Neither of it was done in the cover of night, it was a daring act done in braod day light.
A similar incidence, more alarming than the previous incidence happened in the same city, by the same group. More alarming because at the receiving end was daughter of MLA. She was dragged out of a moving bus in front of every one because she was talking to a muslim boy(her acquaintance) in the bus. As per news papers, the bus conductor was member of the orginasation and informed them about it. They came, stopped the bus, dragged both of them out of the bus and beat them before forcefully putting them in an auto and kidnapping them. The girl was released after an hour while the boy is reportedly missing.
Although both the incidences have been done by the same organization as acknowledged by the ring leader. No action has been taken against them. These are not one of the incidents, there are many like these but go un-reported. Courtesy, Our police and our respected leaders have a tendency to react only when any incidence is on national news, there courage grew un-checked. Some arresting have been made but I feel they are too little too late. Surprisingly the rise in these incidences matches with the rise in power of BJP in the state. This theory is supported by the fact that no action whatsoever has been taken against the culprit ( except for some arresting). Interestingly non of the major parties have asked for serious action against the hooligans, except for some comments on the ruling state government.
Does this mean that the parties feel, this is the verdict of the masses and it will hurt their lok sabha prospects if they go against this verdict?
If this is true then who is going the decide the law of the land? An organization run by hulligans in the name of Lord or the constitution written by our respected leader.
Are our leaders so weak that they can not think in the intrest of our country. If they feel what happened was right then bring a law for it. Do not let a group of people decide what is correct for a common and what is not.

A reminder on this SS day..

Sir Syed's Last Message to Boys and Girls :

Oh My dear Children,when you will grow old,when you achieve the position of eminence. You would have forgotten me.You would have reached the heights,you would no doubt climb & scale the peaks which has never ever been imagined by your predecessors. But then you would not be aware of the facts that you have come out of an institution which was not given birth to by British Government or anybody else.. I and my friends and the entire community gave their blood to buildup an institution at a place which was in wilderness,a desert where not even a grass grew,we built-up class rooms,hostels,libraries,laboratories,playgrounds. You have reached a particular stage and remember one thing that when I undertook the task,there was criticism all around against me,abuses were hurled upon me,life had become so difficult for me that I aged before my age,I lost my hair,my eyesight,but not my vision. My Vision never dimmed,my determination never failed,I built this institution for you and I am sure,you will carry the light of this institution far and wide,darkness will disappear from all around. That is the time when my soul will rest in peace,that is when I will feel that I have achieved what I aspired for But,then there is nightmare also which gives me a terrible feeling of failure to see that some of you who take the advantage of education provided by Aligarh you have forsaken.You have become Selfish in yourself that you forgot that you owe any responsibility to your brothers,sisters and neighbors.You have forgotten the light that showed you the way which took you out of darkness is the very light you are extinguishing. Hold on for a minute,think back,what I have done.I would like you to keep up this light. I know how difficult it is to standup against selfish motivation.It is exactly the thing I have fought against and I want you to stand once again. Stand erect,be counted and that time I would like you to bow before Almighty Allah.Pray for my soul and pray for the success of the mission that I had undertaken.

Syed Ahmad
