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
