I am not Mahatma by Harshavardhan C (i am reading a book TXT) 📕

I am sorry Glady; you couldn’t know the pain of separation of the lovers.”

“Please stop cornerining me madam. I know the pain of seperation of lovers”

“But honestly speaking, from the bottom of your heart, don’t you wish them heartfuly to go to U.S for higher studies.” Mrs. Rebecca waited for her reponse.

Dr. Glady was silent.

“Why don’t you say yes Glady? After all I am asking for their career only.”

“Is it your decision madam? Or have they both decided to go abroad?”

“I certify that they have certainly buried their long wish in their hearts, fearing you only Glady?”

“Fear…… you mean they fear me?”

“Yes of course. They have never revealed it, but I have only understood them.”

“It is quite unfortunate to know that my daughter has fallen in love with a cop’s son, without caring my sentiments. And now anybody can say for whom my daughter has shown respects and curtsies, to me or to the cops, madam?”

“I am sorry to hear such a painful comment from you Glady. No true citizen belittles my department. But, to my unfortunate, I have been facing such a derogative comment by you. What great sin has my son committed Glady? Is it his fault to have born to me ? As a matter of fact, I ought to have objected their love, but for my son I am rather forced to oblige.”

“You, being a cop you are justified to reject my daughter. But time and again we are disturbed by cops. I don’t know why we are only becoming scape goats every time madam?”

“You have already formed an adverse oplnlon about us, and your accusation of entire force, is also not correct Glady. You are only concerned about your daughter, forgetting her fiancé, but I am bothered about their love, future and career. In fact, I have come down and requesting you to free them to live happily in abroad Glady.”

“I am extremely sorry madam. Before I have joined the organization I used to admire police, because they use to unite the lovers, who are fighting against customs and traditions of Indian society. But, now tell me how can I send my daughter to the home of the assassin?” Mrs. Glady spoke emotionaly.

Mrs. Rebecca Solomon could not reply her at once.

“Sorry, I don’t’ understand what you mean by that Glady?” Mrs. Rebecca questioned her.

“I firmly believe that you cops don’t’ have hearts and sentiments madam.”

“Sorry Glady, you have misunderstood us. Please don’t’ universalize your opinion on cops. Cops anywhere are only to serve the people.”

“No, I don’t believe that. Aren’t the inhuman cops killed my husband most brutally? Aren’t you tried to kill me? Please tell me madam, what will be the fate of my daughter, if I am done to death? Should my daughter become an orphan madam?” It was an out-burst from Dr. Glady D’Souza.

“Sorry Glady, I don’t’ accept your accusations that the cops have killed your husband and I tried to doaway with you.”

“Madam, I know that you are also a cop. You only support your hierarchy, and justify your actions.”

“Dr.Glady, if I were to speak about you and your husband, there are umpteen crimes to speak, shall I?”

“You are most welcome madam.”

“Okay Glady. Now, I put it to you, Isn’t Mr. Anthony Kumar, your better half made sketch, plan, and finally executed and bumped off Mr. Solomon Raj I.P.S, through an arm’s squad?” Mrs. Rebecca lost her patience.

Dr. Glady couldn’t reply.

“Come on Glady answer me.”

She couldn’t open her mouth.

“Please answer me Glady? I know you have no answer, because what I said is a fact”

“Sorry madam, your accusation is absolutely wrong. Sometimes, things may appear to be true. But in fact, if we go deep into their roots, truth will come out and that truth ultimately becomes a fact.”

“What is fact? What is truth? We need not discuss at length now and waste our time Glady. In fact there is a book of facts, written on the assassination of Mr. Solomon Raj and you better go through this.” Mrs. Rebecca Solomon took out a book, having on it’s cover page the photograph of her late husband, and handed over to Glady.

“Sorry, I don’t’ agree with your conclusion madam. All facts can’t be true. Truth only is the fact. Please go through this book, which contains real stories, the false and most brutal encounters of Comrades by the cops.”Glady kept a book in the hands of Mrs. Rebecca Solomon.

It was a book on the comrades, who had been killed in the police encounters, published by the party.

“I have seen this Glady, but what it contains is totally false and far from truth.”Mrs. Rebecca Solomon returned the book with her comments.

“Sorry madam, now I am fully convinced with the fact that why cop’s evidence is not admissible in the court of lawas per Indian evidence act, unlike in western countries. Generally Police anywhere are the protectors of law. But here in our Country, they often take law into their hands. Do you admit the fact madam?”Dr. Glady asked her.

Mrs. Rebecca Solomon was silent.

“I know you have no answer madam, and it is not that easy to give explanation for the atrocities of cop’s on our comrade’s madam.” Mrs. Glady put her in quandary.

“What you say is correct sometimes, but not all times Glady. I don’t’ understand as how to convince you Glady, that all cops are not alike what you have come across in your life. It is quite unfortunate that you have universalized that Indian cops’ evidence is always false and inadmissible in the court law.”Mrs. Rebecca Solomon tried to explain her with certain pain.

“Please don’t try to boost up the image of your cops madam”

“What bloody image we have in this society Glady? As you have already come to a definite conclusion and not only you, almost all people have the same thinking. If you don’t’ mind, shall I ask you a question comrade Glady?”

She waited for Glady’s response.

Glady was silent.

“Don’t think I ask you for any favour Glady. I just want to impress upon you regarding my institution”

Glady looked her and there were not any feelings or expressions in her face.

“Shall I continue Glady?”

“Please wait madam and first answer my questions” Comrade Glady thought and took a decision instantaneously.

“Sure Mrs. Glady it is my duty to clear all your quarries”

“Madam after my husband Comrade AK is killed; I have gone deep into my organization and I occupied pivotal position in the organisation. I have been entrusted with many more tasks by the central committee. I have constituted action teams and fought with our class enemies, of course the cops are the first in the list. And in the autopsy it is found many times that the injuries noted on the dead bodies of our comrades are post mortem only and that speaks about your fake encounters”

“Sorry, I don’t’ admit that Glady”

“Madam why don’t’ you accept the truth?”

“Sorry Glady it is all false and my cops are also human beings having family and children and I don’t think that they are that cruel”

“But I dare say that your cops are cruellest of the cruel madam. It is also certified by your medical officers”

“Still I don’t’ understand or find any specific reason for your hatred towards my cops Glady?

“I have personally nothing against your cops. But in most the police encounters some of our lady comrades are also killed and they are found to be enjoyed by not less than five or more cops. Now I put it to you madam that can you show a single example of woman cop in uniform being enjoyed by militancy anywhere in the world?” Mrs. Glady put her in quandary.

“Okay, whatever it might be but still I believe truth alone ultimately triumphs Mrs. Glady. At least this fact you must accept” Mrs. Rebecca Solomon concluded.

“Mum, have you decided to quarrel with aunty trying to find out a way to say no to aunt’s proposal?” Honey intervened.

Glady looked at her seriously.

“Of course, what Honey said is also true Glady. It is not fair on our part to battle as who is right and who is wrong? It is an unending war between the state and the insurgency. Our children are innocent and they hardly know about our trades and if they really come to know I fear that they would definitely hate us. Please don’t’ give them the scope and try to understand their sincere love”

“Sorry, I am also not stone hearted to separate lovers. But, I am only concerned that Mr. Arjun happens to be your son. How can I relish my daughter going to the house of a criminal cop, who killed my husband?”

“Please stop your false accusation Glady. Time and again I am telling you that my husband didn’t encounter A.K and now I straight put it to you as what is the religion of Mr. A.K? I am sorry for asking you so narrowly but I am helpless and it is only to make you both of you understand the facts”

“Sorry madam, when we are unable to convince people, the next option is to confuse them and I think you are trying to do the same”

“Please have little patience Glady. I am not a writer to narrate a story” She requested them.

“My husband Mr. Anthony Kumar is a true Christian”

“Then when are you married madam?”

“Ours’ is a party marriage”

“What were you before you married A.K?”

“I was a university student, and he was my contemporary in the university. We loved each other and he revealed that he was in the organization and he can only marry me secretly and I obliged his request and we married”

“Do you still believe that he is a true Christian and his name is Mr. Anthony Kumar?”

“It is quite strange to hear such questions. Please don’t forget that Mr. AK is my husband” Ms. Glady said in irritation.

“I am Sorry to say that he is a Muslim and his name is Akbar Khan”

“What?” Honey was taken aback.

“No, Madam I don’t believe it”

“If you still have doubts, please go through these documents Glady”

“I know it is not impossible to create evidences by cop’s madam”

“Glady I am sorry, please don’t misunderstand me. I have utmost respect for A.K”

“Madam I don’t understand why are you bothered about my husband after all he is no more?”

“It is quite essential to note his identity to unearth the mystery behind his assassination Glady. I am sorry Honey will you please close your ears for some time?”

Honey did so.

“Glady when you had a go with Mr. A.K, please recollect his nude physique honestly to confirm whether I am speaking truth or a lie?”

Glady was taken a back on knowing the secret of her husband, which two people could only supposed to know, one of course his mother during his child hood and the next of course herself.

But A.K told her a different story that as it became difficult for him to piss, his mother got him circumcised his penis when he was hardly five years. But she couldn’t understand why A.K secreted these things before her? As a better half she expected nothing should remain as a secret between them. It made her to doubt about him antecedents for the first time.

“Glady please don’t mistake him for not revealing you his clan. It is not my intention to belittle Mr. A.K. In fact he is the true son of India. We all salute him and feel proud about his sacrifice for the ideology. It is for your kind information that day happened to be our marriage day and Mr. Solomon Raj was on leave and we were celebrating the occasion with friends and colleagues.

The so called encounter of Mr. A.K was done by a Hindu Fanatic, who was a suspended police officer by name Mr. Mahindra Kumar as he was branded as a Hindu religious bigot. The state felt that if the facts are made known to the world it would turn to be international issue and hence Mr.
