It seemed that the Partition was the final destiny for Indian Muslims. So the case is here: while a few moved to Pakistan, many more chose to stay back. Both the Muhajirs and the Indian Muslims paid a heavy price in return. The traumatic experience of Partition had an astounding impact on all of us. Can we afford one more human displacement? Certainly not! For Funnan Mia, Pakistan was a nightmare but the only place where he wants to be buried is Gangauli. The tragedy with Topi Shukla is that he was neither accepted by his ‘community’ nor by ‘others’ which resulted in his suicide at one point of his life. Responding to the plight of Topi Shukla, Rahi Saheb conveyed a fundamental belief in the idea of human life and that suicide is a blot on the forehead of any nation or civilisation. Wazir Hasan was killed by Hindus while protecting a temple that was to be demolished. How many of us dare to play such roles in our daily social engagements? Perhaps such people can be counted on our fingers. People like Wazir Hasan need to be kept alive in public memory. The rediscovery of Wazir Hasan is a a compelling need of the dark times we find ourselves in.
