Jihne Naaz Hai Hind Per

Came to me as an email forward. It was about a song… Song about four among us….. People like you and me… but somehow much higher….. Courage doesn’t come in better form than some of the men/women described in this song…. We have shrines, statues, roads for our not so deserving political leaders….. Why not a shrine for people like these… A shrine that will have stories of their sacrifice… Stories that will remind generations of what real heroes look like… A shrine that will be a glorious reminder of their courage and a reminder of our cowardice
Either you die fighting for your beliefs or die everyday walking by and avoiding them..
From the mail
“
The song is abt 4 extraordinary people and their life ….and how it ended up
in tragedy coz they spoke out against the vices that grips our great nation
today………..

Mera naam Bilqis Yakub Rasool
Mujhse hui bas ek hi bhool
Ki jab dhhundhhte thhe vo Ram ko
To maen khardi thhi rah mein
Pehle ek ne puchha na mujhe kuchh pata thha
Dujey ko bhi mera yehi javab thha
Itno ne puchha ki mera ab saval hai ki
Jinhe naaz hai, hind par vo kahan the
Jinhe naaz hai, vo kahan hain
( Bilqis Yakoob Rasool, mother to a 3-year-old son, is a Muslim woman from Gujarat, India. Bilqis survived the massacre of her family in which her daughter was killed and she was gang raped. Fourteen members of her family were killed during this attack. In December 2003 the Supreme Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to reinvestigate the case. It found evidence of police failure and attempts to cover up the crime. The CBI has since arrested several of the accused and six police officers. In August 2004, the Supreme Court ordered the case to be tried in Mumbai. This case is still ongoing.)

Mera naam Shriman Satyendra Dubey
Jo kehna tha kah woh kah chukey
Ab pade hai rah main dil main liye ek goli
Bas itna Kassor ki humane likha tha
Woh sach jo har kisi ki zubaan tha
par sach yahan ho jaate hain zahreele
Jinhe naaz hai, hind par vo kahan the
Jinhe naaz hai, vo kahan hain

Mujhe kahte hain Shanmughan Manjunath
Maine dekhi bhatakti ek laash
Zameer kay beech sadak lakhiyonpur khedi
Aadarsh phansa jahan baataon main
Aur chor bhare darbaron main
Wahan maut ? ki ek khabar hai basi
Jinhe naaz hai hind par vo kahan the
Jinhe naaz hai vo kahan hain
( Shanmughan Manjunath was a marketing manager for the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) who was murdered for sealing a corrupt petrol station in UP. While working for the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) in Lucknow, he had ordered two petrol pumps at Lakhimpur Kheri sealed for selling adulterated fuel for three months. When the pump started operating again a month later,Manjunath decided to conduct a surprise raid around November 19, 2005. Having not heard from his son for three days, at around 9 that night, his father, M Shanmughan, had sent an SMS: "How are you?". There was no reply because that very night, during his inspection, Manjunath had been shot dead. His body, riddled with at least six bullets, was found in the backseat of his own car, which was being driven by two employees of the petrol pump. Both were arrested and the main accused, pump-owner Pawan Kumar ('Monu') Mittal, was held on November 23 along with seven others. )
