When oh when, if ever will we learn that love is a sublime feeling that only recognises the language of the heart and is above and beyond all man made and inflicted barriers of caste, creed, religion, sect, sub sect, age and son and so forth.......
The Sufi music poets called the almighty their beloved, Omar Khayyam made love to a bottle of wine, Ranjhaa, Farhad and Majnu sacrificed their everything at the altar of love; yet here in 21 st century India we have situations without end where the cruelties and eccentricities of monstrous parents end up taking the lives of their wards in the bargain.......
Illogical and unyielding opposition to teen aged love ended up claiming it's latest two victims in a village lying within the boundaries of Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur district when two teenagers Krishan Lal Bind (17) and Rashmi (16) chose to end their tormented lives by hanging themselves from a tree in their village.......
And pray what was their crime, falling in love without paying heed to age old barriers of caste and community as the youth who lived in a Dalit basti (dwelling or village) committed the cardinal and unpardonable sin of falling in love with a nubile nymphet belonging to a supposedly "upper" caste.........
According to local police sources, the couple abruptly went missing in the early hours of Tuesday morning and their bloated bodies were subsequently found hanging from the tallest and stoutest tree in their village late on Tuesday afternoon.........
Unyielding and unrelenting parental, panchayat, biradari and jaat opposition is being touted as the immediate cause behind this tragic and tumultuous end of two lives that were yet to bloom fully..........
Even as we speak, the "bodies" of the two doomed lovers is awaiting dessication and dissection by a government appointed ghoul so that the relevant authorities can perpetrate their suicidal theory and rule out the remotest possibility of their being lynched (read the unnecessary hassle of ruffling feathers and carrying out a cumbersome and bothersome investigation)..........
Post mortem reports have been known to be tailored or designed as per the desires, whims and fancies of the concerned authorities so why should the end result be any different in this instance in a state where medieval mindsets, laathi and bandook rule the roost till date.......
As for eternal, sublime and divine feelings of undying love; will somebody out there tell me what these feelings are..........
