Recently I came across two very brazen views of intellectuals who were far too apart from the normalcy.
it was a college student based in London which finally gave the idea of Pakistan and although ludicrous at its inception, the idea was worth its salt once taken by the maestros of land and blood.
It was poet Iqbal who after giving the SAARE JAHAN SE ACCHA HINDOSTAN HAMARA eventually fell to the ideas of a separate nation. By no means, such steps were acceptable as something very unplanned act was going on which involved great amount of agony to the mankind and the animals alike- i really wonder what would be the say of the land, river and mountains- wouldn't they had missed their normal dwellers? It was a reckless act for the intellectuals to support or even entertain such divisive tendencies in the first place.
Recently I came across, another spectrum where VS Naipaul took great courage in justifying fall of Babri Masjid as "an act of passion" and as passion leads to creativity, he found the episode OK. The sheer unemotional and almost apathetic response to a situation even when the kind of divisive role it had in the diversion of communities and in the retrospect, it appears too much to justify by any logic.
While a great amount of literature and mental space has been allocated to the unfortunate and unnatural distance between the two communities, it is brazen act for the opinion-maker writers and others to take views which is not in sync with the harmony of the individuals and the country and against the concept of humanity.
I think the pertinent question still remain unanswered is "Ishwar Allah Tere Jahan mein Nafrat Kyun hain Bair hain Kyun?"
