I AM PUNJAB - VICTIM OF CHEAP POLITICAL INTERESTS OF INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS AND MUSLIM LEAGUE




The Whole world is familiar with my name. My Name is Punjab. People called me This Name Due to the 5 rivers, ie meaning of my name is “ The Land of Five Rivers “. I have given Birth to many warriors. I witnessed  for many movements , wars  including India’s Freedom struggle. My land is also known as  the land of Brave and hardworking people. Sikhism is Founded in my land.  Indus valley civilization is began in my land. I have faced many Invasions by Greeks , Persians , Afghans etc. So I am witnessing centuries of bitter bloodshed. By the invasion of afghan under the leadership of Gazni the Islamism Started in my land then as a result I faced a constant war between the Sikh and Muslim Warriers. During the Mughal Period I was under the Control of muslims rulers. After the decline of Mughals I Came under the rule of Sikhs . After the Anglo-Sikh war  in 1849, into separate princely states and the British province of Punjab, which were granted statehood. Eventually, a Lieutenant Governorship was formed in Lahore as a direct representative of the British Crown.      
British Raj was a Barbarian Rule. My children brutally Tortured and Killed. Many movements declared by my Children against the brutal imperialist British rule. One of the unforgotten event in my land is Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Thousands of my Children got brutally killed by the Barbarian British Officer Gen. Dyer .  
This Massacre Give Birth to my lion cub Bhagat Singh. He never believed in the movement of Non-Violence by Gandhi . he Impressed with activities of Ramprasad Bismil with his HRA (Hindustan Rupublican Association) , after the Death sentence of Bismil Bhagat changed the name of the party into HSRA (Hindustan Socialist Republican Army) with Chandra Shekhar Azad. Because he want an independent nation with the security of Normal wokers and Peasants from the Exploitation of Landlords. In 1928 Bhagat’s Preceptor Lalaji (Lala Lajpat Rai) Conducted a protest movement against Simon commission. Bhagat also involved in this mass protest with Lala. The SP James A Scot Ordered the police to lathi charge the protestors andPersonally assaulted Lalaji. Lalaji died due to heart attack due to the brutal assaulting. I am sure that Bhagat will take Revenge against the Britishers for the Death of Lalaji . finally it happened he and rajguru killed the Police officer Saunders. Mistaken by the Bhagat. Saunders also involved in Lalaji’s Case . but Bhagat Escaped . I felt happy . but my happiest days never last long. Bhagat decided to  throw a bomb in Lahore assembly hall. May in his perspective it is a good decision. But I felt bad because if he caught by the police I will lost my child. But nobody can stop him when he decided to do some thing. He thrown the bomb and arrested . later he charged for the Saunders Murder and Privi Council ordered him to hung till to Death. He executed on 1931. Ione of my hand. Gandhi can save my Child’s Life from execution . but he also desired my son’s death . Indian National Congress and Gandhi feared Bhagath‘s Popularity in indian people like Brirtishers.
In 1933 one of the Cambridge Student Choudhry  Rahmat  Ali Proposed the concept of a separate nation Pakistan by Dividing me.  I heard these words fearfully. But I have a hope that whenever my sister’s (Bengal) Subhash Bose  (Nethaji) is there  the  Partition will never happened. But in 1940 All India Muslim League Passed the Lahore Resolution for creating Pakistan By Dividing me , what I can Do ? Finally the Indian National Congress and British Government accepted Jinnah’s Two- Nation Policy and formation of new state for muslims . ie Pakistan  Actually the Congress , Jinnah and Britishers made a secret deal. Both of the Nehru and Jinnah want to become head of a state . for that only Jinnah demanded Pakistan. Because he never lived as a muslim. Finally that Day Came I have got divided into two Indian Punjab and Pak Punjab in 1947 . A Fence made across my heart. The problems has solved..?
No.
The Result of this partition is very Drear some one. Around 2 million to 5 million of my Children got killed. Millions of my Children lost their Home and their parents. a large number of my Girls got gang raped. My Children Fought each other. I Silently Bear With these Incidents. But Nehru and Jinnah Celebrated the independence in Delhi and Karachi. I am Thinking that millions of my Children got killed and Become homeless  , how they celebrated. Are they thought about my pain bearing Children..? No..
A Border Made between my Left and right part, but the border is only in my body  not in my heart. I love my children of Both sides, As a mother I can’t do that.
What is Peace…?
I Don’t know the meaning of this word from two three centuries. if my Son Bhagat Singh still alive at that time this drear some acts will never happened
I have a Dream that One day the Borders will removed and my Children will unite together. They will give hand to each other as before 1947.  I am Waiting for that Day . A Reunion
