Shaheed Afzal an unforgettable hero

Its early winter morning and my normal routine goes up to 10 but today my mother called me at 7,

 “Wake up they are saying Afzal Guru is hanged”

I without a second woke up as if I was not sleeping, “what, what are you saying how is this possible.” I such a stupid person contended saying, “hanging Afzal Guru is not an easy talk”. How I forgot its India, the incredible! Which can do anything especially with Kashmir. 

 “If this would have been true then we would have known. At least his family would have known and if so, then we would also have known”, I told. I was not ready to except the fact as I was hopefully sure it is a rumour, until my mother told me the media is showing it. The moment I heard this I was numbed and my eyes got filled will tears. There arouse a pain, pain of losing your own one and an aggression against this action. Not only me but the whole Kashmir is undergoing such pain. And this is Collective conscience of ‘our’ society.  
     

 Today again Kashmir has lost a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend, and a neighbour. Because in every human here dwells a Kashmir, today it’s grieving again, grieving for its loss, grieving for its injustice, grieving for its helplessness, grieving for its genocides. Today you the incredible Murderers, are celebrating but we are mourning, mourning for our loss. You have caged us, you have curtailed us, you have killed us and you have kept us on mute. But then how long you will keep us paralysed. Today you can choke off the voices but cannot block off the pens which are scribbling the history.
   

Afzal Guru is a Martyr, killed innocent by Indian Government. He was hanged on the grounds that they didn’t have enough evidence against him but “the collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if capital punishment is awarded to the offender”. I won’t wonder if tomorrow for satisfying their collective conscience they will throw missile on Kashmir. I think they keep door to door campaign for measuring this collective conscience I wish they could have.
