Savan Rathore and Afrazul: Victims of Hate Crime

-

We are living in society now on buzz due to incident of hate crimes occurring in our vicinity. Now a days disgusting act of one Shambhunath Raigar is in issue. As shown in video, he brutally killed one labourer from West Bengal while giving "Love Jehad" as raison-detre for his heinous act. Some people came forward to justify anger and brutality of Raigar. On the other hand Govt of West Bengal & Rajasthan have supported the victim and his family. Govt of West Bengal has declared Job for kin of Victim. However, Accused is under police custody and as per Govt of Rajsthan's directive, trail shall be held in Fast Track Court. This is good initiative. All steps should be taken to affirm that Society and Law will not tolerate such Hate Crimes.

On the other hand, like the Colum attached with this post (http://www.opindia.com/2017/01/justice-still-eludes-pune-teen-who-was-burnt-to-death-for-being-a-hindu/), other columns were there which narrate story of one Savan Rathore who were burnt alive in Pune allegdely after confirming his religion. As per reports, role of Police was dubious. But involvement of social Media, activists and specially Advocate Ramesh Kumar Rathore, action of Law Enforcement Agencies were streamlined. It is also reported that compensation was announced at that time but not yet received by the victim's family. But neither case was placed in any Fast Track kind of mechanism nor was any government job offered to kin of the victim.

Apparently both accused involved in both cases were appeared to be burdened with Hate Crime Syndrome. Crime was not actually similar but involved same sense of brutility. But Role of Law Enforcement Agencies and Political Parties afterwards make the difference. The difference which provide "clue" to the religion of Victim vis-a-vis the Accused. Whatever narration, explanation or clarification be given any difference in handling the afterwards scenario will affect the thinking process of different sections of people and smoothness of our social fabric. Although reference of Savan Rathore in this time, might be appeared to be regressive. But it is important to understand that iota of doubt of biasness in treatment of victim’s case or their kin may affect society in longer run.


What action government or society will take to mitigate the causes which germinate Hate Crime Mentality in people shall be important for consideration. But as of now, quick steps need to be taken to repose people's trust. Unbiased approach towards the Victim of the Crime ought to be shown irrespective of Religion, Caste, Creed or Gender etc. Savan Rathore was as much important for our social fabric as Afrazul.

It is because Name of Shambhu is in limelight and needs no introduction. Regarding Savan case, link to article is there. People could go through the same.

I think, I have clarified, pls revert back, if any other issue in mind.

भीड़ चीखती और भीड़ चिल्लाती जाती खौफ के साये में मिचमिचाती आँखें  शोर और दर्द से पथराती आँखें  जुल्म की इंतेहा को देखकर के डर के खुलती-बंद हुई जाती आँखें देख, बर्बरता की खुशियां मनाती जाती भीड़ चीखती और चिल्लाती जाती सैकड़ों चेहरों से बनती भीड़ देखी  एक चेहरा भीड़ का अब सामने था देखने सुनने में था इंसान जैसा किंतु उसकी पाशविकता क्रूरता निर्दयी शैतान सा चेहरा बनाती  भीड़ चीखती और भीड़ चिल्लाती जाती कौन से आदर्श वो सिखला रहे है किस तरह के मूल्य गढ़ते जा रहे है पाशविकता क्रूरता से लबरेज जनता नृशंसता के उत्सव में डूब करके शुभ्र मानवता की खिल्ली है उड़ाती भीड़ चीखती और भीड़ चिल्लाती जाती अधर्म करती धर्म की वो आड़ लेकर मध्य युग की मूढ़ता को श्रेय देकर मौत देकर मौत का उत्सव मनाती फिर पाप को पुण्य से बेहतर दिखाकर पैरों तले इंसानियत कुचलती जाती भीड़ चीखती और भीड़ चिल्लाती जाती मज़हबी तकरीर से बेबाक होकर तालिबानी शरीयतों से लैस होकर कुफ़-कुफ़्र कुफ़्र-कुफ़्र कुफ़्र कहके  इंसानियत को मजबूर औ लाचार करके कत्ल कर हैवानियत के रंग दिखाती भीड़ चीखती और भीड़ चिल्लाती जाती वो भीड़ किस ...

Budhha: Some thoughts on his Sculpture at Sanchi

-
Image
Depicting the Enlightenment of Budhha in a statue must be a sense of accomplishment for the sculptor. Compassion n Blissfulness n Calmness..... Budhha has inter-alia taught "रसो वै स:"( रस वहीं है जहां सत्य है), "सो करोही दीपमत्तनो" (द्वीप बनो अर्थात सब संबंधों से मुक्त हो जाओ और असंग हो जाओ), "छंदजातो अनक्खातो" (जिसे कहा नहीं जा सकता). This statue of Budhha is settled in #Sanchi showcasing these virtuous teaching of Budhha. This is the Only Statue of Budhha with a face at Sanchi Stupa. Everlasting calmness on the face and posture, even after facing a brutal ordeal. I am unable to ascertain the level of idiotic, barbaric and inhumane mind set of people who assaulted the statue and of the thought process which paved the way for such assault. I feel that nowadays, primarily Budhha used to come in the life of the average Indian in some political sense. Or at least mine case was so. After going through the words of #Osho in his series of Books on B...

Ecstasy of Blissfulness: Sadhguru

-
Some days before, a notification blinked on my mobile screen which brought sparkels in my eyes. It was invitation for attending #Satsang with Sadhguru at Lucknow. I don't feel capable enough to describe the Charisma of Sadhguru. But with my limited understanding and knowledge, I could say that---- True meaning and feeling of Darshan known to me today when I got the opportunity to see #The_Mystic #The_Living_Master In the evening, I witnessed how Divinity paved the way for Ecstasy of Blissfulness and people got immersed into the spiritual aroma created by the most revered Master of this generation. I also witnessed How Reason has shattered the Boundaries and Bondage established by Religion. How Inner Engineering actually works and How The Living Master articulate various minds into one energy, one process and one functionality. How Meditation turns into a mechanism of cleansing the aura and lubricating the inner self through the contour of #innerengineering If Reason, Rational...
