Religious bias overshadows longtime friendship
Despite
clashes of civilizations for centuries, personal relationships between a
Hindu and a Muslim did continue and instances are there where Hindus
helped Muslims and vice versa. But time has surely changed when thanks
to flexing of muscles of Islamic fundamentalism the same personal
relationship is most spoilt and a Hindu can not believe a Muslim any
more; experiences of Samar Adak (age 32 years), s/o (Late) Anil Adak,
village: Baramajhipara, P.S. Singur, District: Hooghly, prove the same.
On November 24, 2011, Noor Islam, resident of village: Baharampur, P.S.
Singur and an old pal of Samar Adak, almost chopped him to grab Rs. 15,
000 he was having at that moment.
Samar Adak is a sholapith craftsman, also known as “Malakar” in Bengali, to be precise maker of garland. Shola Pith (also
referred to as shola and Indian cork) is a dried milky-white spongy
plant matter which can be pressed and shaped into delicate and beautiful
objects of art. Now, to fulfill a few sudden demands, Samar
pulled out Rs. 15, 000 from his own bank. Around 8.15 pm both were
having Muri (puffed rice) as an evening snack and at that time, Noor just pounced on Samar to have the money from him by force.
Samar,
confounded and overpowered, tried to save himself and his own money
desperately and facing a stiff opposition, Noor brought a sword (hidden
within his wearing apparel brilliantly) out and chopped Samar almost. Nevertheless, in spite of being grievously wounded Samar managed to flee.
At the moment Samar is in Calcutta Medical College and his condition is at stake.
What’s the fault of Samar, a young Hindu man, plainly?
(As per latest information, Noor Islam has been taken into custody).
