After Death, an ultimate truth. by Harshavardhan C (comprehension books .TXT) 📕

marry them in Indian style and with Indian traditions and customs and to settle down in India?” Prof. Ramakrishna asked him rather hurriedly.

“No Mr. Sirajuddin, those conditions appear to be quite ridiculous. Is there any example that the bride not only in India, but also anywhere in the world remains with her parents after marriage?” Dr. Sirajuddin posed him a sensible question.

“Of course, I can’t give you any example at once, and I think I need some time to search to find” Prof. Rmakrishna said.

“It is a funny answer, we are not writing any play to perform on the stage Mr. Ramakrishna”

“Then why the Indian spinsters are so sober? Why they simply yielded to the Pakistan bridegrooms without putting any conditions?” Prof. Ramakrishna was feeling for the way the Indian spinsters behaved.

“Who told you Mr. Ramakrishna that the Indian brides are sober and innocent than their counterparts in Pakistan? In fact they have also put some conditions, not to the bridegroom, but to their parents” Dr. Sirajuddin said.

“What?” The professor was anxiously looking at him for reply.

“The conditions put by the Indian spinsters to their parents are that their marriages should be solemnized in the style of Muslim customs and traditions, and they must be freed to go to their in laws after their marriage”

“I can’t believe this Mr. Sirajuddin. I don’t think that the Hindu Spinsters are daring enough to do this. It is quite unbecoming of and Indians may feel bad you know” Prof. Ramakrishna expressed his unhappiness over their behaviour.

“No, and not yet all Mr. Ramakrishna. Likes and dislikes are always above pride and prejudice” Said Dr. Sirajuddin to cut him to size.

“But, there are geographical, social barriers, and finally race and religion come in between them you know Mr. Sirajuddin”

“No, and never and I assure you that it is not history to repeat, but it is practically their lives and not anybody else Mr. Ramakrishna”

“But, I never expected that the Hindu spinsters will stoop down to that level” Prof. Ramakrishna said seriously.

“Mr. Sirajuddin let me answer him as he has been feeling as it happened to his own daughters” Prof. Gandhi intervened and said.

Dr. Sirajuddin kept quit.

“Mr. Ramakrishna if you don’t mind may I take liberty to advice you?” Prof. Gandhi obligated him rather politely.

“Sure Mr. Gandhi, you may please” Prof. Ramakrishna said politely.

“Mr. Ramakrishna we are all human beings first and later only social beings. Have you forgotten this universal fact? You have only narrowed yourself to your research, saying fossils and artefacts, cultures and civilizations; and bluntly condemning the universal faiths and beliefs. Even to express your findings also there is a way and it should not infringe the beliefs of others. I feel ashamed to call you Professor; for God’s sake please either you change your attitude or better discard your doctorate for the good of the society Mr. Ramakrishna.

And I am sorry I might have hurt you, but I have no other way except to speak harshly, and that is also only to make you understand”

Prof. Gandhi made his mind very clear.

“It’s okay Mr. Gandhi, I don’t mind even if the entire world turns hostile to me, but one thing you all must know when Muslims are protecting their cult, so do I expect the same shall be repeated by the Hindus and hence I am not wrong” Prof. Ramakrishna said convincingly.

“Excuse me Mr. Gandhi please let me interact with Prof. Ramakrishna”

“Okay carry on Mr. Sirajuddin” Prof. Gandhi gave him permission.

“Even now also your understanding about your spinsters is wrong; please keep open your options Professor. Please remember that you are not writing history, but you are living in the 21st century” Dr. Sirajuddin intervened in between them and said.

“It’s okay Mr. Sirajuddin everyone has his own ideology and consequent explanation. Now I straight put it to you some simple questions, can you answer them please?”

“Certainly, why not? Time and again when you are referring Hindu spinsters, I am asking you straight what about your spinster’s Mr. Sirajuddin. I don’t think that are they selfish like ours?” Prof. Ramakrishna said with certain painful feelings.

“Sorry Mr. Ramakrishna, the teenage girls and boys anywhere in the world, more or less are having same emotions and feelings. And love is universal. The problem is not with love and lovers, but with our ego, and with our generation gap in the name of adulthood only” Dr. Sirajuddin tried to explain him.

“Okay Mr. Sirajuddin, please answer me and later I will definitely stand for your scrutiny. Now my doubt is what happened to the pretty girl Miss. Sania?” Prof. Ramakrishna posed a question.

“Okay, let me clarify his inhibitions Mr. Sirajuddin” Prof. Gandhi intervened.

“Okay sir as you please” Dr. Sirajuddin said politely.

“I put it to you Mr. R. K, before knowing that, what your expectation is about the innocent girl Miss. Sania?” Prof. Gandhi wanted to know his opinion.

“I suppose she got her fiancé converted to Islam and later married him in Muslim passion and traditions and later both of them might have flown to Pakistan” Prof. Ramakrishna said as a common man.

“Then you are absolutely wrong Mr. Ramakrishna, as everybody expected; she has married Mr. Samrat, the famous Tennis player of India. But, they have not flown to Pakistan. They have married in Indian passion and traditions; and as Indian bride goes to her in laws, Mrs. Sania Samrat remains with her in laws in India only.

Now tell me Mr. Ramakrishna, is religion influenced people or people surpassed religion?” Prof. Gandhi straight questioned him.

For a moment Mr. Ramakrishna, the Professor in History and Archaeology was speechless.

“And for your kind information all religions are true Mr. Ramakrishna, and you made research in History and Archaeology, but yours is lacking reality. And your research is only base on abstracts with plus or minus, lacking practicality. In fact you are more knowledgeable than all of us and I need not enlighten you. But, I mean to say few things to you.

Religion will never create boarders and barriers Mr. Ramakrishna. But, the man who invented it may perhaps create.

And I am sorry I commented you to discard your doctorate. This I said after a great struggle and heartfelt feelings because I am a great fan of Late Mr. Jinnah. He is such a noble man with a kind heart, and generous character that he never spoke a lie; who believed in peace and non-violence on par with Mr. Mohan Das Kharm Chand Gandhi, the Father of Indian Nation in true spirit.

And for your information, the father of our nation never spoke against any religion, against human beliefs and values. Please read this novel Mr. Ramakrishna. Of course the man who scribed this is not a scholar like you. But as a lay man with his acquired and limited knowledge he wrote this novel in the language he knew” Said Prof. Gandhi and presented an English novel to him.

Prof. Ramakrishna went through some of the pages of the novel and later raised his head to say goodbye to him.

So also Dr. Sirajuddin wanted to thank Prof. M. K. Gandhi. But, henceforth they both could not find Prof. Gandhi there.

They were stunned, but were convinced that truth was invisible.

Prof. Ramakrishna, an Indian and Dr. Sirajuddin, also an Indian only remained there.

 

Chapter: 23

 

“Well Mr. Sirajuddin and then we must accept the fact that the Indians only saved the victims from the high jacks as they have all respect for Hinduism and Hindu Dharma which is more pious and purity than any other religion in the world, and it certainly creates a page for its humanism in the history of terrorism in the world” Prof. R K said as a Historian cum an Archaeologist.

“Mr. R K, I still remember that you said for cultures and civilizations there are no boundaries and barriers; and now have you forgotten your own statement? Or else have you taken all together a U turn? And then what about truth in your research?” Dr. Sirajuddin didn’t hesitate to point out him.

“I beg your pardon Mr. Sirajuddin, but before clarifying your doubts can I ask you few questions?” Prof. R K asked him.

“You are most welcome Mr. R K, but before answering you, I too expect you to answer my few simple and petty questions”

“Sure Mr. Sirajuddin” Prof. R K assured him.

“Okay, you are more qualified and you’re younger than me you may please ask me Mr. R K” Dr. Sirajuddin suggested him to avail the first chance.

“I thank you Mr. Sirajuddin for your marvellous culture and gentle behaviour; and my first question is Mr. Jinnah a Muslim or Hindu?” Prof .R K put to him.

“Well Mr. R K in spite of our fair and frank discussions also, you being a renowned professor and scholar in History and Archaeology still you are interested to know about Mr. Jinnah’s religion. And I really feel pity about your narrow mindedness; leave alone the fanatics and the common man.

In fact I don’t want to hurt you, but I am rather pained to tell you the facts and you may decide by yourself. Before deciding please let me know whether you are a Dravidian or an Aryan or blend of the two or the unknown fourth?” This time Dr. Sirajuddin put Prof. R K in a state of confusion.

Prof. R K being an Archaeologist and Historian was shocked for the first time.

“Okay Mr. R K, I know that you couldn’t answer me; and for that matter none of us can answer truthfully the questions, and if anybody dares to answer means they will have to go back to millions and billions of years to decide one’s own genealogy, which is practically impossible and even for you as an Archaeologist also.

But I must certainly clarify your doubts as per my promise. Please have little patient in hearing, and later you can answer me Mr. R K.

“Mr. X’s grander father is a true Hindu, and his grandmother is a true Christian, and to marry his grandmother in Christian faith, his grandfather has converted himself to Christianity and got married her; and they begot a male child, who is no other than Mr. X’s father. Now tell me to which religion Mr. X’s father belongs?

And later Mr. X’s father fell in love with an orthodox Muslim girl. In order to marry her in Muslim fashion, he converted himself to Islam and married her and begot Mr. X; and now you decide to which religion Mr. X belongs?” Dr. Sirajuddin put him in quandary.

Prof. R K was confused and he immediately couldn’t guess to whom Dr. Sirajuddin was referring.

“Don’t be hasty, please take your own time Mr. R K. But I expect definite answers from you” Said Prof. Gandhi and left him free.

Mr. R K was thinking and trying to recollect the mystery.

Chapter- 24

 

Mr. R K could observe that Mr. Sirajuddin was feeling so much for the injustice done to a nobleman in this world.

But later after some pause, Mr. R K could guess it.

“Mr. Sirajuddin, are you not referring the story of Mr. & Mrs. Amrin Rahman?” Prof. R K asked him all of a sudden.

Mr. Sirajuddin simply said “yes”

“Is Mr. Jinnah their son?” Prof. R. K continued.

Dr. Sirajuddin couldn’t answer him. But, Prof. R K could find tears rolling in his eyes.

“Mr. Sirajuddin, may I ask you one more question please?”

He again nodded his head.

“Is Mr. Jinnah alive?”

There was absolute serenity.

“Mr. Sirajuddin, if you don’t mind, can I ask you one last question please”

“Please carry on Mr. R K” Said Dr. Sirajuddin.

“Mr. Sirajuddin, if I am not wrong the man who spoke on life, after death, and rebirth, is the soul of Mr. Jinnah, isn’t it?” Prof. R K asked him straight.

“You are absolutely right Mr. R K and I heart- fully thank you for accepting the concepts of life, after death, rebirth, and the existence of soul” Dr. Sirajuddin said with cheerfulness. “Sorry Mr. Sirajuddin, it doesn’t mean
