This story is purely fictional and is not linked to any person or nation dead or alive or ailing.
Several millions, thousands & hundreds of years ago, Mother Earth gave birth to Indi & Stanu. They were truely special as they were siamese twins. For many years of their life they lived as one body and one soul. Everything was beautiful and nice. They lived through the joys & sorrows of life together with no qualms of not being able to lead individual lives. They believed that being with each other was their destiny.
With times, their belief changed too. Two popular figures in the history of Mother Earth took up the challenge of giving a new life to Indi & Stani. The real reason behind their obsession still remains a mystery.
In few years time, they became two individuals. There was bloodshed, pain, anger & anguish. Innocents wondered why Indi & Stani had to part ways. Indi & Stani themselves wondered, Why?
As days passed by, Indi & Stani were no longer the same. Their beliefs changed, ideologies changed, and associations changed. Stani, became a victim of bad influences. He became aloof and blinded in his quest for supremacy. He forgot that Indi was his own twin. All he knew was get into the good books of his Uncle Ami and his buddy Terry. Uncle Ami was a very smart man, very rich and powerful. Stani, knew Ami's weakness and helplessness. Now, Terry was actually very bad. In the name of good will, he committed heinous offenses. Stani camouflaged Terry's acts as his own fight against Indi. Stani wanted to be in control of a portion of Indi's wealth. Wealth! the evil that has spoiled several lives and will continue to spoil several lives in the years to come. Wealth, be it oil, gold,diamond,metal,water or land. Since Uncle Ami was the rich guy, he had to curb Terry's offenses to be affable amongst everyone. Stani, realised this helplessness and convinced Uncle Ami to support his efforts to gain supremacy over Indi and in turn he would help in taming Terry. Probably, the rich are always a little foolish. A little. Uncle Ami continued supporting Stani, and Stani kept supporting Terry.
The loop continues and is still continuing.
Indi, the poor twin was always coy & innocent. Indi tried in vain to open Uncle Ami's eyes. In her efforts to do so, there was bloodshed, pain, anger & anguish. Indi had her own diseases, of which some were incurable. There were fights within her that had striking similiarities to the current age caste system, politics, rich vs poor and a bigger evil called globalisation. However, Indi was persistent in her efforts. She left no stone unturned in making Uncle Ami and his rich friends see what Stani was upto. Now Uncle Ami and his gang were embarassed. They could not admit that they had made a wrong judgement for all the years when they supported Stani's supposed efforts to tame Terry. Uncle Ami and his gang devised of a clever plan. Uncle Ami tried to project an image of listening to Indi's plea, while also projecting that Stani was now a reformed man. Uncle Ami announced that Stani needed lot of support emotionally and practically to reform himself on the path to salvation.
There was a wicked laughter and a sharp cry at the same instant. Stani was laughing behind the scenes, while Indi was crying in the public arena.
There was silence. There was bloodshed, pain, anger & anguish. Mother Earth was dying. The twins would soon see their end.
Peace & Happiness, the most coveted & most desired, yet they always allude you!
