DONS & DONKEYS 

DONS & DONKEYS 

             By-Pamarty Venkataramana
       ( Chapter -1 ) :: WHO AM I ?

Ya Allah :
-You know I am just a young boy in this land of the crescent moon and a tiny solitary star dotting the flag…
-You know I eke a living by carrying a mule load of arms & ammunitions on the back of a mule of ‘Pasha-saab’…
-You know I know not where the cargo comes from nor where it is sent…
– You know I am asked to offload it all in the ravine with the solitary big tree that has an eagle’s nest !!!…
– You know that I lost my relatives in the Moulvi-saab vs. General-saab open confrontation near old tamarind tree in courtyard of Lal Majjeed…

       ( Chapter -2 ) :: WHOSE LAND IS IT ?

 [ I miss the bed-time stories of the days of my dear departed Grand-parents who had walked across from Jalandhar to Jalalabad via Lahore … I truly felt elated whenever Grandpa recounted how he had helped Jinaah-saab escape from Hyderabad-Dakkanee after his motor-car hit-and-ran over a sleeping pedestrian at King Kothi road whilst he was busy puffing away on his cigar-pipe and grinning at a passing lambada-woman with her shining dress of beads, glass-mirrors and rose-pinked half-saree…because Hyderabad -sind came to remind me and my ilk of the remotest connection which remains, after all these generations of separate existence …].

       ( Chapter – 3 ) :: PAUSE THE PRESENT!

You know I know that there are many who would not understand my musings and my purest thoughts Ya Allah..
..but, I feel so much at peace and I feel my self flying up to the stars whenever I lighten my burdened soul,my aching limbs and my grieving mind…
Ya Allah, why did the bad mashed Firangi-log need to divide the great Continent called India ?
Why did my fore-fathers have to come away to the heat and dust of this little piece of land in the world?
Is my land truly ‘paak’?
…is it ‘Holy’?
…does it mean that the rest of the world is ‘not-paak’?
…Will I ever get to visit the Mecca and Madina? … Is the Kaabaa-shareef, that Holy place not the really ‘paak’-land?

       ( Chapter – 4 ) :: FUTURE SHOCK?

…  Would I grow up or die a martyr in the cause that moulvi-saab says will reach me up to the Sacred Abode of Allah, the All-Merciful and All-Benevolent One – where he says I can be united with my dear departed Family-members – abbaajaan, ammeejaan, chaachees,maamoos, qaasim-miya, everyone I hold dear and none of whom is left in this land of Paak ?…
I am told Abeda Bee has also migrated to USA marrying a vilayaatee and will never even cast a smile at me…

       (Chapter -5 ) :: CACTUS OF DESERT?

Ya Allah…!!!
… why is it that in this land where nothing ever grows, no industrial activity really happens?…..they tell us that no customs-duty is charged if we bring in (import)any item or valuable or necessary things – are we so bereft of natural endowments ?…
… Why is one General-saab after another General-saab taking over the reins of the government?
… Why a hen pecked, much-married monster to head our peoples?
But,
Ya Allah , I know YOU ALONE ARE GREAT …!!!

        ( Chapter – 6 ) :: HEN AND PIG !

Yes My Lord! … no man can equal you … But, do enlighten me Ya Allah!

… why is the new General-saab shouting hoarse about ‘not sparing the USA if their troops land in our paak-land area to nab terrorists ?

… Did not maamoo-jaan tell me once that it was USA which has supplied all those F-16 fighter-planes to our land of Paak ?…

… Is General-saab going to use the planes against them who supplied these to us?
… Why are our rulers so vile and confusing…or, are they confused Ya Allah ?…
… Did not Moulvi-saab say’ watan apni ammeejaan ki maafeeq hai’…

… Why then are they saying that I must now go across the desert-border to India in cover of both the darkness and sniper-fire by the guards of the border-post and plant bombs in several cycle stands,cinema-halls and public-parks? …

… Ya Allah, did I read your Holy Quaraan-Shareef right or did the mouvlvi-saab get it’s essence wrong ?

… Is it not wrong to kill or to avenge or to hurt innocents?

… Are you not All-Compassionate One and the Only Mighty Creator who has poured life into all beings, all of mankind and in all the Qayaanats/Universes of the worlds around our own land? YA ALLAH !!!

… Ya Allah …Coming to think of it all,Twitter-saab is right it after all, it seems…

… If this be the trait and colours of these General-saabs and Moulvee-saabs who run the land of the ‘paak’, soon enough THERE WILL BE a division of this already divided-land into five parts ..!!!
… YA ALLAH !
… to the western side shall go the SIND-land (North-west frontier province /sind-punjab) … to the right will be restored to India all those large, fertile and real tracts of land which the Great Indian Army had won in a matter of ten minutes during the 1971-war (and returned back to us when Zulfikar-bhai Saab had gone to Shimla and personally requested his classmate of Oxford, Indira behanji to return it back) … in the centre and at the end of it all would be left the land of the truly ‘paak’ -land : home to the bigoted tribe of clergys and ‘jihaad’-fighters – with neither the will nor the skills required to make a living EXCEPTING to indulge in devious war-games or to chant the mantra of hashish or opium [let us grow either and supply the seeds to the phoren-bottlers who will be pleased to use this ingredient to further the sales-revenue of such hashed-up concoctions – in other territories… fourth and fifth parts would be bases of Israel and Russia.

       ( Chapter – 7 ) :: ACCURSED!

… Ya Allah, will this be the ultimate fate of the blinded beings of this country?…
… Ya Allah, what would the Movli-saab have answered if I were to ask him  the question-..’what is the final outcome of dividing a crescent shaped landmass into five parts?’ or if I asked him-..’Why do you not go yourself on the Higher Mission of Life which you are sending me upon?’…

… Ya Allah ,you must save me …May I be devoured by the Dinosaur ( I saw on the computer-screen of General-saab’s little grand-son who came for the RAMADAN-Vacation from California ) lest I be forcibly thrust into the lands of my fore-fathers …

       ( Chapter – 8 ) :: BACK TO ROOTS!

… YA ALLAH, INDIA is the motherland of all those who live on this side of the Indus-valley, isn’t it?…

[ When our fore-fathers hailed from there (even General-saab was born there in Deccan Hyderabad!

So, are these ‘elders’ not asking me to kill my own kith and kin ? …].

…Whereas these instigators bask in the Glory of God and dig their soft-fingers into hot, steaming dishes of Biryanis, Kebaabs and Double-ka-meetha, slurping, belching aloud as they rudely brush aside their beards while licking their long fingers in delight….

… I know all the well-off have migrated to London, Washington, Sydney …

… I know the trigger-happy ones have joined Osama daadoo in the ravines bordering Baluchisthan…now, Immu maamoo sells government vehicles and exports donkeys to China men.Hafiz chicha, why do you don a burqa hiding behind other burqa-clad women in harem after harem?

Yes, I know Moulvi-saab would shout out to you at the top of his shrill voice to you -‘Allah ho Akbar!’- periodically from sunrise to midnight on the speakers resounding but stays put in his bungalow with the LCD to entertain him and his bevy of begum-saahibaas…

       ( Chapter – 9 ) :: EPILOGUE!

… Am I the accursed outcast, here?
… Why should this blood-bath occur ? By no means should I be made a pawn in the chess-game of the General-saabs and the Mouvlvi-saabs here!
… YA ALLAH, send me a Genie or let a dinosaur gobble me away, lest I be made to sin, IN THE NAME OF YOU – THE ALL MERCIFUL & ALL COMPASSIONATE …Ya Allah …!!!

… ALLAAH HAAFEEZ AMEEEJAAN…!! I am your thirteen year old son stepping out with the ‘suicide-bomber’ tag tied to my neck . Is this the fate of all donkey-selling peddler-generals of the fanatical crescent hearted land?

       Post-script-

{ Ramadan 2020 be remembered as the year of corona -19 virus that swallowed the virus of terrorism in our backyard.

If the COVID-19 does NOT engulf the unholy sinners, may the land which uses pressure-cookers to cook rice meals take back the land from the ones who are wont to use these pressure-cookers to place bombs and destroy Humanity.

The END of asuraas be wrought as soon as possible : may DHARMA be restored across the ‘ planet of peace’ !

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
