Into the past with pain.. 322 by Dr K Prabhakar Rao

                                                        INTO PAST WITH PAIN...332

                                                         Colonel  Dr K Prabhakar Rao (Retd )

(The scene is in Pakistan  at Islamabad and it is the office of Pak PM Nawaz sheriff .Sheriff is sitting in his office  and enjoying Hukka. Pak army chief is also sitting in his room.)

Sheriff.  General sahib. Kya hal hai apka. How are you? ( He munches Chicken kabab from a plate )

General. Bahut achha sahib. Maze le raha hun ( I am very fine and enjoying too )

Sheriff. That is the spirit. We are born to enjoy. Why not? Life is short. We must make use of it fully

General. Haa..haaa

Sheriff. By the by Hindustan kya kar raha hai?. ( What are Indians doing ) Are we getting some news?

General. Yeah. After our Uri attack they are in spin. They are shocked and in doll drums. They do not know what to do.

Sheriff. Bahut maza aagaya. Hamne bahut achhi Jhatka diya. Khoob uchakrahe thhe .Bahut ghamand hai. Achha hua. ( . It is good . We have given them good jerk. They were jumping over and became haughty)

General. Sir. This is the only way to handle them. We have to bleed them regularly so that they lose peace.

Sheriff. Sir, They humiliated us in 1971 and also in Kargil. We are itching to teach them  strong lesson

Zulfikhar Bhutto was  a nut. He was a useless guy. He ruined our country.

General. Our blood boils when we see our surrender photo. India proudly displays it in which Gen Niazi is seen signing surrender document

Sheriff. I also  feel it. But Indians are fools. They returned all one lakh prisoners without any condition. If they had bargained POK what we could do?

General. What we could? Nothing .. We had to lump it   and return POK. But they are jokers. They do not know how to fight war to conclusion.

Sheriff. True. You know Prithvi raj chauhan king of Delhi released Ghori  after capture with all respects and he was given presents also. What a fool he was.

General. Hee..hee. True. Next time Ghori got a chance to catch chauhan in battle of Tarain, he killed him straight away. Muslim rule was established by our ancestors.

Sheriff. Was Ghori your ancestor?

General. I do not know. We are all Muslims. These Indians are clueless about warfare. They do not understand that enemy has to be killed at first instant and should be attacked when he is weak. They had made atom bomb and we had none. They failed to destroy our facilities for building the bomb. Israel planned to destroy by bombing and Morarji desai prevented it. Indians  failed to prevent us from building the bomb. They are clueless guys. Their minds are blackened by Gandhi philosophy.

Sheriff. True. Brains of these guys are clouded by Gandhi philosophy and Buddha’s teachings too

General. Gandhi copied Buddha’s teachings. There was nothing new in his teachings.

Sheriff. What you said is true. These Indians are scared guys. They seek glorification from world as apostles of peace. None of them got Nobel peace prize..Hee..hee .Yasser Arafat of Palestine got out  of all. He was the father of terrorism.

General. Even in Kargil war, they let us off the hook. We were saved. Basically Indians do not have that killer instinct that is required to win war to the end. All their past kings were like that  and lost their rule to Muslims. We have no moral  laws  for wars. Our aim is to win always. One of our battle cry is Kafironko maro.. Yaa Ali..

Sheriff. If India was in  our position , do you think we would leave them? Never. We would have killed each and every guy and grabbed everything.

General .Well said  sir. Haaa.haaaaa..You are a true Jihadi. You must become a Gazi by cutting heads of some enemy men with your own hand to become a Gazi..

Sheriff  hoo..haa..haaa. You bring some enemy soldiers and I shall do that.

General. Sure sir.Then you will be called Gazi nawaz Sheriff. Nishan e Pakistan, Noor E Pakistan,

(Suddenly there is a flash in the room and the light is blinding. Sheriff and the General scream loudly)

Sheriff. Ya Allah, what happened? I am almost blind. Kya kayamat aagaya ( Is it end of world? ).

General. Me too sir. What can it be? Hope India  has not dropped atom bomb on us.

Sheriff. Eee....eeee.. I am also almost blinded.

(The light goes off  and Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are seen stan
ding in the office )

Sheriff.(Rubbing his eyes). Who are you? How come you are here? Who has allowed you here? Where is my PA and security? General sahib. Are you not carrying pistol?

General.  Hey who are you? Why the hell you are here? How can you come like this? Is it a Tamasha?

Patel. General sahib. This is tamasha only. Can you recognize us? I am Sardar vallabh bhai Patel Dy PM of India , destroyer of Nizams rule in Hyderabad in 1948 and kicked out Kasim Razvi the Razakar chief. These are Great Gandhiji  and Jawaharlal Nehru.

Sheriff. Yaa. Now I can recognise. But how are you here? You died long long ago.

Gandhi. Mr Sheriff. Relax. We will not do any harm to you. We came to give an advice to you.

General. We do not need advice from Kafirs.

Sheriff. Yeah..

Gandhi. Nearly 70 years are over since greater India was divided. You still have no wisdom. You fought three wars with India and lost too. Even then you did not become wise.

Sheriff.. I do not need your advice. Go away from here.

Gandhi. You guys are not seeing reason. You have been exporting terrorism since decades. What you gained? Nothing.

General. That is our way. Why should you bother? You are not our founder. Jinnah sahib was our founder.. Quaid E Azam.

Gandhi. Oh! that skinny guy in suit suffering from TB. If I had not accepted partition, you would have known.

General. Rivers of blood would have flown.

Patel. Come on. No one gets cowed down by your language. You know what happened to you in past wars. Your Bhutto was at the feet of Mrs Gandhi begging.

General. He was a  nut. I do not accept what he did.

Patel. You appear to be a psychic guy. Need some treatment.

(The General gets angry and shouts for security guys. No one arrives as all had gone for taking tea somewhere)

Gandhi. Mr General. Do not be crazy. You cannot do anything to us. We are dead guys and spirits. Your weapons will not harm us.

General. Eeee...eeee spirits.. dead guys.. Bhoot...bhoot.. Mar gaya ( Iam dead ) sheriff sahib.

Sheriff.. eee... eeee. Oh Bhai  ( Oh brother). What you want from us?

Gandhi. Nothing. You guys behave properly with India. Or else, you will be finished. Now we are going.  Take care. You will be skinned by Indian army in future and this time they will hang you by meat hooks. Now Mr Modi is the Pm in India with 56 inch chest. He is not Dr Man mohan singh to close eyes and say.. mew..mew. like a cat.. He will skin you guys. Take care and behave.Understand..
..

( There is a sudden flash and the trio vanishes)

Sheriff ( Rubbing his eyes) Was that  real or some illusion?

General. It was real. I am also scared.

Sheriff. Why we should be scared? We have atom bombs.

General. Sir, We made them .But can we  drop them on India by our missiles carrriers? I doubt. If they fall on ourselves  on our own city, we are finished. I have no confidence.

Sheriff. That is also true. I always have that doubt.

( Telephone rings.. trin..trin..)

General. Hello ,this is army chief speaking from PMs office .Who is there?

Voice. I am Intelligence chief speaking. Sir, this is an emergency. Last  night at odd hours, Indian army commandos carried out surgical strikes on terror posts in POK. Many of our men died; There is a chaos in POK among our mujahids  and our army too. After attack, Indian army guys went away happily in choppers.

General. Oh shit. How it happened?

Voice. It appears they came in choppers  and brutally eliminated the terror launch pads killing all the guys.

Sheriff. Now what will happen?

General. Let us see. We will say there were no such strikes and these were cross border  firings isolated. We shall bluff the world.

Sheriff.  We have been doing it all these years  saying that we have no terrorist camps on our soil.. Please do something and save our prestige.

General. OK Sir. I shall try if something is left like Prestige. Please do not forget to make me Field Marshal soon.

(The General leaves after saluting the PM  )   

 Sheriff. Yaa Allah. What happened to this country? I am in a shit pot. It is better I keep quiet  and mind my business. Or else I will be ruined. If I am strong with army, they will kick me out. Jinnah sahib. Why you made this country? You did a mistake. God only can save us. Better I go and beg Modiji  to pardon us and hand over POK to them.

 In the distance  the great singer KL Saigal is heard singing.

Jab dilhi toot gaya

Han jeeke kya karenge

Jab dilhi toota gaya......

Sheriff wipes tears with a hanky.
