Where is the Pa(Lo)st Bond?

Once best buddies,
Sharing the greatness of their religions
With each other,
Amalgamating the two for a hybrid
Din-il-lahi;
The syncretic spirits that rose into rage
When the crafty viceroy plotted
For a crack in the Bengal presidency
Have become dormant
When the fissures were to occur
In the great old civilisational center.
What to call it? The reason
1. Personal
2. Fanaticism
3. Mark Antony mode of sedition....
O the third?
Yes!!!
Alas! The four cows are we?
Fell prey to the lion
Listening to the words of a sly fox.
Once cousins and pals
Casting explosives for vanquishing
And the other shooting to defend not him
But the country as his family,
Losing his valuable life to guard the 'lives' of his countrymen.

Today, people do not tell their infants Panchatantra or Tenali Raman or Birbal stories. In lieu of these stories, they teach them flags...

God is Love

              The term may be a cliché!It is usually found in all the religions. God is of course love. One can witness god during his exhibition of love to others.   “Love your neighbour as you love yourself” quotes the Holy Bible. Loving others helps us reach the boons of Almighty. Serving others helps man ascend heaven according to Hindu philosophy. I am gifted with three apples. One is for my kith and kin. Another one is for the needy. The final one is for me. This beautiful distribution is a divine order of the Holy Quran. Isn't this so beautiful? This shows religions demand love from humanity's. I am reminded of Prahalad, the son of Hiranyakashyapu, when I speak about miracles. He was going against his father's wish of abandoning the prayers to Lord Vishnu. His father turned furious and planned to leave him under an intoxicated Jumbo’s foot. To surprise everyone, it did bow down to him. It is because Prahalad uttered Vishnu Nama ...
