The lynching at Dadri-Bisada pushes the scorched earth
into the throes of communal conflagration.
Farmer Mohammad Akhlaq is dead
and son Danish is battling for life.
But the perpetrators' diabolical machinations
are thrown asunder
as the air warriors gently descend
from the azure sky
and uplift and relocate you in the
national mindscape of secular India.
Jai Hai My India! Jai Hai!
