INTO THE
PAST WITH PAIN…116

 

                                            Dr
K Prabhakar Rao         

 

 

                   (     In the center of a well furnished
room  in heavens a handsome person is
sitting. He is in full army uniform with a side cap and is in tunic and wearing
the rank of Japanese admiral. He is Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose the most
charismatic  leader of Indian freedom
struggle and Commander of India National Army (INA). He wears  round glass spectacles and is neatly shaven.
There are  many letters  lying on the table and   a Japanese pistol is close by on the table.
A slight knock is heard  at the  door. Two heavily armed guards stand at the
door.)

 

Subhas. Please come in.

 

(A person walks in and wishes) 

 

Visitor. Hello Mr Subhas.
It is long since I met you. How are you?

 

Subhas. I am fine. How are
you Mr. Patel? But feel sad because I had to come here before I could achieve
my mission. Damn it. The Japanese surrendered after Americans dropped the atom
bomb on Japan.
They still had power to  continue to
fight. In fact many Generals  were not
willing to surrender and wanted to continue fighting and see the end.

 

Patel. Yeah. But  there is nothing in our hands. It is god’s
will.

 

Subhas. True. All the guys
in India feel that India
got freedom by Gandhi’s peace marches  ,
fasts and non co operation. There is not even an ounce of credit to the actions
of Indian National Army in the freedom struggle. Kids are being taught that all
is Gandhi’s work and others just ran and limped. Many times even my photo is
missing from textbooks. They do not even mention my name. It is all Nehrus and
Gandhis all over. Such things happen. The family of Nehru rules India. Rahul is
waiting to  sit on the throne. The
sycophants are around them and prop up them. How shameful it is indeed.No one
is an exception. Even PM feels that Rahul is best suited for the post.

 

Patel. True. Otherwise
there is no existence for them.Next day 
he will be out. Even  my actions
and role are much under played in history books. I was responsible for  amalgamating all princely states in India including Junagarh in Gujrat and the vexed
Hyderabad. The
Nizam 7 of Hyderabad Sir Mir Osman Ali Khan Bahadur Fateh jung Nizam ul mulk
asifjah  was trying to have independent
country in the center of India.
It almost materialized but for me.

 

Subhas. I know that.
Jawaharlal dilly-dallied the issue. Up to last minute he was against the
military action against Hyderabad.
The Nizam played havoc with Hindus in the state. He gave a free hand to Kasim
Razvi, the Razakar commander,of course self styled. Police chief Deen yar jung
was no less in abetting Razakars.They looted, raped, committed arson, murder
dacoities, burning, lootings etc.

 

Patel. I had to take
decision at last and I did it. I taught Nizam a grand lesson. Asfajahi rule
ended with a single stroke. ( sings and does jig)

 

I threw the Nizam out

Like a carrot I cut him to size

He boasted he would fly his flag
in Delhi

At last he was made wise

 

The guys could not last for a
week

Of course they boasted very high

Nizam was soon shown the exit
door

He had no option except to loudly
cry

 

 

Subhas. Well done Patel,
Or else, Hyderabad would have been another Kashmir to the credit of Nehru. .I am really proud of
you.

 

Patel. True.Thanks
subhash.

 

Subhas. I am happy that I
am out of this  non sense.

 

Patel. Me too.

 

Subhas. Do you know this?
Recently some one asked information about me 
from the Indian Government under the clause of right to  information. He was  told that no such information was available
with the Government.  There was none like
Subhas Chadra Bose as per their information. How shameful it is?. What a
shame really? Are they not Indians.? Who are these jokers?

 

Patel. Very true. This is
because only Nehrus and Gandhis should exist as per the dictums at present.
Only information with respect to them should be available. A systematic
campaign is going on to erase the memory of all except Gandhis and Nehrus.

 

 

( Outside the room  some screams and  shouts are heard.  They are shouting  “vote for Rahul. The prince is on way to the
throne. He is the next Prime Minister… Vote for him.. Three cheers to the
future PM”)

 

Subhas. Who are these
guys? Who is Rahul? He was the son of Buddha as far as I know.

 

Patel. They are supporters
of Rahul Gandhi, son of Rajiv Gandhi and grandson of Indira Gandhi and Feroz
Gandhi. Great grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru. Great Great son of Motilal Nehru.
Great .. Great… Great… Great…  Great..
Great….ttt….ttt..tttt…tttt. ddd..dddd…llla..llllaa..haa..haaa///heeeee

 

Subhas.. It is ok… Ok..
Ok..Ok..Ok What is so great about him? He must be a kid. How he has become so
great? What great actions he has done?

 

Patel. He is  the son of Rajiv and is from Nehru dynasty.
That is the first and foremost  requirement
and he satisfies it.nothing more is required. He can not be blamed either.
Every one can become the PM of this country. He also can become. This guy is
being projected as the next PM of the country and dynastic succession
continues. You know. Indians are the greatest nutty guys with slavish
mentality. They are like earthworms. The seat of PM is  now given to the safest bet who can vacate at
will. He has no self identity. It is strange that  some leaders projected him as the  next PM when Man mohan Singh was still in
chair live kicking.

 

 Subhas. What  a shame indeed to a great country like India
that produced great Emperors like Ashoka, Chandragupta, Harsha, Samudragupta.
Akbar… ( Sings)

 

What a great shame indeed

Where all are full of only greed

Real heroes are forgotten long
ago

As the extinct Australian bird
DODO

 

Patel. Well said Subhas.
You hit the nail on the skull. That’s why you were not liked when alive in
congress circles. You were hounded out of Congress Presidentship. Probably many
might have felt greatly relieved when your death was heard in an air crash

After Japan surrendered in WW II. They
must have surely damced and celebrated behind closed doors.

 

Subhas. I also feel it.
Any how, forget about it. Silly affair indeed. Every one has to die one day. I
am shocked.  Can’t this great country
produce a mature leader capable  of  donning the mantle far away from  the present dynasty.

 

Patel. The problem is that
every one is cut to size in the party. The Stalwarts in the party have no
voice. They are throttled and necks are squeezed. They are only puppet dancers
on the screen. Real  hands pulling the
strings in this  show of  puppets are 
behind. These power seekers hang on for tit bits and bits of bones and
morsels of food thrown and party tickets and 
posts of cabinet ranks. They hang around gasping with tongues hanging.
They make hay  while the prince shines.
They can not win elections without Gandhis tag. Gandhis also know it and
exploit it. They can not shine by themselves. You know moon can not shine on
its own. It shines only due to sun rays falling on it. But  it is useless to call them moons even.  If the sun rays do not fall  moon will be utterly dark and  ugly object. Same is the case is with
these  guys.

 

Subhas. Very true.

 

Patel. Look Subhas. In India
at present, dynastic succession is ultimate. If a minister kicks the bucket
while in power, immediately his son , wife or daughter gets the party ticket
for the bye-election. The son could be anti social, rowdy, thug and might have
been involved in kidnap and murder cases too. Ok. Nothing is wrong. That is
democracy. Every thing is ok. They make all efforts to ensure his victory. They
also request other parties not to contest  
particular seat. Ultimately some woman  
who can only raise her finger showing all her teeth in smile comes to
power. The son of the demised leader who has police cases against him all of a
sudden puts on noble dress and becomes MLA or even MP. There are sores of guys
like this in India.
Although Kings have vanished kingship remains still in India. I have
seen this happening maximum in Andhra Pradesh.

 

Subhas. What a shame?

 

Patel. Basically Indians
are king oriented and want dynastic rules. They suffer slavish mentality. They
work well when some one nicely flogs them. Democracy is just a sham. It is
millions miles away from democracies in England
and USA.
It is ok, the Indian constitution was copied from western sources. But that was
only on paper. In practice, it is different. It is Indian style. For many,
politics is a family profession. A lawyer’s son becomes lawyer. A doctor wants
his son to become a doctor (Remember MBBS not RMP). RMP is a registered medical
practitioner or a native doctor. Similarly all politicians groom their sons and
daughters in this way. Former PM Jawaharlal Lal Nehru was no different.  He prepared his daughter. She became Congress
President. Her charm was built up and all gathered around her clapping and
singing. Soon she became center figure.

 

Subhas. But, Lal Bahadur
was great.

 

Patel. It was only Lal
Bahadur Shastri former PM who was above the board. The great guy walked off by
foot after resigning as railway minister after train accidents and refused
official car. But see now. The railway minister refuses to resign after train
disasters. Poor Gulzarilal Nanda who was twice PM (Temporary) struggled on
bicycle on Delhi
roads after loosing his clout.

 

Subhas. That was
disgraceful really.

 

 

(In the mean time, the door opens
with a creaking sound   and Mohandas
Karam Chand Gandhi enters… Both Patel and Subhash stand and greet him)

 

 

Gandhi. Hello. Patel and
Subhas. Hope all are fine. What is happening?

 

Patel. Sir! we were only
discussing the fallen values of democracy in India

 

Gandhi. True.  I also heard about it. But this is what
happens. When I died after partition within 
a year in 1948,  the guys  must have surely felt greatly relieved. Some
people  must have surely celebrated.  I was more stressing on morals and right
conduct. The guys knew that they have power in hand now after centuries of
despair. Every one was itching for power and authority and money too. They got
busy filing their coffers.

 

Patel. Probably true for
some. Many were vexed up when   you took
up fast for paying Rs 50 crores to Pakistan.

 

Gandhi. (Looks other way.)
Yeah, I know it and finally Nathuram Godse put 
bullets into me afterwards. I am happy 
that I left and was saved from seeing the down fall in morals in Indian
leaders.

 

Subhash. Sir, In all
countries such things happen. People who taste power will never step down. They
shall hang on. Were you not also like that when alive? I was literally forced
to resign as Congress President. I can quote hundreds of examples. Joseph
Stalin, Mao, Zia ul Haq, Ayub Khan, Shah Pehalwi,  Indira Gandhi, and many more. Indira Gandhi
declared emergency and did not resign after Allahabad high court  judgment. 
Shame.

 

Gandhi. Subhas forget
past. Look my name has become a catchy slogan for the congress to catch votes.
Without my name, they can never get any vote. So my memory has become immortal
atlesat for  sake of votes.

 

My name is used for only votes

And all the guys are busy
collecting notes

Gandhi’s name is very dear to
these clowns  and  nuts

While poor in India in rains suffer leaking huts

 

Patel. Sir! well said

 

Gandhi.Are you not
happy  with me Subhas?

 

Subhash. Why I should be
unhappy with you sir? I always respect you in high esteem

 

Gandhi. Thanks dear.

 

Patel. That was good sir.
Let us forget the guys in India  who are running after power and mischief
making. We have done our job well. History shall always remember our good deeds
in golden letters. The present guys  will
surely vanish in the dark pages of History un sung and unheard.

 

Subhash. Surely

 

Gandhi. Ok Dear Bye… Jai
Hind

 

Patel. OK   Subhas. Thanks, see you.

 

Subhash. Ok Bye, In fact
it was my slogan. best of luck to all of you

 

(In the distance Marshall
music is heard while Subhas smartly walks off 
with Pistol at his belt.

 

                                      CURTAIN FALLS
