Ek
tha Forbesganj Road ... Once upon a time, there was a road in a town named Forbesganj. Poor peasants of the town used a little road to reach their destination. One day they found that the road, that was being used by them since ages, was gone. That thoroughfare was important for them, for their daily commuting. The Bihar Government had sold the land through which that path passed, to a private party; and it had stopped people from using that utility. The corporate greed, hand in glove with the government, was treating poor peasants of the town contemptuously. When the people decided to stage a peaceful protest for their right to road, little did they know that, there will be firing, murders, injuries and FIRs [even after their deaths]. The mayhem didn’t just stop at that, a police jawan Sunil Kumar Yadav played Tandav, and danced over one of the dead bodies; all this was captured on live camera. Two years later, the news came that the police has registered cases against the 56 protesters including the dead ones. This, they say, would strengthen the case of the police, as it could then claim that the protesters were rioting and hence police had to kill them.
Real secularism is treating people, be they of any hue, with equality, respect, and justice. Now, Nitish Babu must prove himself to be a ‘real’ secular and give fair and speedy justice to Forbesganj. His anti-Modi tirade will be taken seriously only if he gives justice to those who have been wronged brutally. We are fed up now of empty rhetoric. P.S: Forbesganj had taken its name from an East India Company British Official Mr.Alexander John Forbes[1749-1819]. His 52000 manuscript notes on natural history archaeological history and religious and social history of India can be found in his Oriental Memoirs. Ms. Asma Anjum Khan Editor-in-chief
