The all pervasive mental disease...

This is how much people love and regard someone who thinks about all the communities, and not just about any one particular community.


The mental blinds of both sides, and the media of both sides ... are u listening??? You are a big 90% of them all! You are a mental disease.

Scene a day before Dara Shikoh's death


 The crowd assembled upon this disgraceful occasion was immense; and everywhere I observed the people weeping, and lamenting the fate of Dara in the most touching [99] language. I took my station in one of the most conspicuous parts of the city, in the midst of the largest bazar; was mounted on a good horse, and accompanied by two servants and two intimate friends. 


From every quarter I heard piercing and distressing shrieks, for the Indian people have a very tender heart; men, women, and children wailing as if some mighty calamity had happened to themselves. Javan Khan rode near the wretched Dara; and the abusive and indignant cries vociferated as the traitor moved along were absolutely deafening. I observed some faqirs ["Fakires"] and several poor people throw stones at the infamous Pathan;..

Another Kalaam of India

Social Media

ये खबरें उड़ाने वालों का कहर ही था 

हर दिल में उबलता हुआ ज़हर ही था


दो पल को ढूंढा नहीं सच को कभी

बेताब दुश्मनी को सारा शहर ही था


कुछ दोस्त थे मेरे दुश्मनों में हुए

लगा रहा बहस में शामो-दोपहर ही था


ना तुम मुझे सुनोगे ना मैं तुम्हें सुनूंगा

यूं हम को लड़ के जाना ठहर ही था


दोनों बराबरी पे रक्खे कभी ना तूने

परचम बगा़वतों का जाना फ़हर ही था
