"WE were sitting in the tent,they tore it down.We kept sitting",the old old Freedon Fighter told us."They threw water on the groung and at us.They tried making the ground wet and difficult to sit on.We remained seated.Then when I went to drink aome water and bent down near the tap,they smashed me on the head fracturing my skull.I had to be rushed to hospital."
Baji Mohammed is one of India'a last living freedom fighters -just one of four or five nationally recogonised ones.He is not talking about british brutality in 1942.
He is describing the vivious attack on him during the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992.
This is what the reality is..
We say that we are devoloping and cheat ourselves and give ourselves into externl forces.We dont want to beleive that we are behind and we dont accept the fact that there are a lot of mistakes on our side....
