“Maula mere lele meri jaan” & “Hyderabad blasts”

How some things leave an indelible impression on mind. The NDTV and other news channel were screening the moving pictures of the blasts. And what was more stirring was connection of a Hyderabadi, a fellow Indian in the attack, who was previously a student there.


Days before I had chance to watch the movie “Chak de India”. As people put me as SRK buff I was supposed to watch the movie but this movie really touched my heart for many reasons. The one reason was its song “Maula mere le le meri jaan”. A real melodious, soulful and meaningful song to come after a long time. How beautifully the lyricist conveyed the plight of Indian Muslims in the song depicting it from the eyes of Kabir khan while watching the tricolor being unfurled. He says “teeja tera rang tha main toh” “Referring to all the Indian Muslims by stating I am the third color i.e green of the tricolor Indian flag and have lived the way an Indian lives. I have played the Holi and Diwali with the fellow Indians and I am the shadow of this country. If for some reason India take its eyes away from us but I am sure she will come back to take us her abode. The sand is my own and I get the same food, people and culture as I could find anywhere else. No body can understand the mother-son relationship between us Muslims and India. I am a part of you and will continue to be”. It was the most touching moment and certainly the high point of the movie. The voice of Krishna and Salim merchant made it melt in the heart of if not the millions at least thousands.


Just taking an analogy are we also responsible of turning our own fellow brothers become extremist. What happened in the movie with Kabir khan would the same thing have happened if Dhanraj Pillay would have missed the goal. Some times we as citizen of democratic country become immature to overreact to these situations. I think Kabir Khan took that criticism as a constructive one but how many will take it his way. For the betterment of the country we need to change ourselves a bit so that we do not let our fellow brothers turn hostile. I think our the Muslim community has done India proud in every field whether it is entertainment (Shah Rukh khan, legendary Dileep kumar etc) , Music (Javed akhtar, Zakhir Hussain, Ustad Bsmillah khan), sports ( Zaheer khan and several legendary hockey payers ) or science Dr. APJ Abul Kalam. We should not blame them for wrong reasons which they never commit.

For those who are not able to make out what I wrote, just listen to the song and you will get to know what I was trying to convey.

Last but not the least, Shah Rukh rocks yet again with Chak de India. yipeeee..............
