Bombay Blasts: We Still Don't Have Answers


Three months and six days after the demolition of the Babri Masjid, 14 explosions shook India’s financial nerve centre, Mumbai, killing 257 and injuring 713 people. Thirteen years after the blasts on March 12, 1993 — India’s 9/11 equivalent — the case is nowhere near completion.

Relatives recall horror

The aftermath of the 1993 bomb blasts saw massive arrests. Mahim and Worli police stations were turned into prison camps and women, children, the old and the infirm were brought in. Several affidavits alleging torture were filed

A telephone conversation recorded by Abu Hashim Azmi, now the Maharashtra president of the Samajwadi Party, is a stunning piece of evidence. The conversation between blasts accused Salim Durrani and Sunil Mane, a Mumbai Police inspector posted at the Oshiwara police station, is an indication of the nexus between the police and the underworld.

I still rem. the beautiful song by Lata ji
Nehru cried, they say, when she sang it in 1962. Penned by patriotic writer and singer Kavi Pradeep. Composed by : C. Ramchandra.
aye mere vatan ke logon
tum khoob laga lo naara
ye shubh din hai ham sab ka
lahara lo tiranga pyaara
par mat bhoolo seema par
veeron ne hai praan ganvaaye
kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo -2
jo laut ke ghar na aaye -2

aye mere vatan ke logon
zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
jo shaheed hue hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani

jab ghayal hua himaalay
khatre mein padi aazadi
jab tak thi saans lade vo
phir apni laash bichha di
sangeen pe dhar kar maatha
so gaye amar balidaani
jo shaheed...

jab desh mein thi diwali
vo khel rahe the holi
jab ham baithe the gharon mein
vo jhel rahe the goli
the dhanya javaan vo aapane
thi dhanya vo unaki javaani
jo shaheed ...

koi sikh koi jaat maraatha
koi gurakha koi madaraasi
sarahad pe maranevaala
har veer tha bhaaratavaasi
jo khoon gira parvat par
vo khoon tha hindustaani
jo shaheed...

thi khoon se lath-path kaaya
phir bhi bandook uthaake
das-das ko ek ne maara
phir gir gaye hosh ganva ke
jab ant-samay aaya to
kah gaye ke ab marate hain
khush rahana desh ke pyaaron
ab ham to safar karate hain
kya log the vo deewane
kya log the vo abhimaani
jo shaheed...

tum bhool na jaao unko
is liye kahi ye kahaani
jo shaheed...
jay hind jay hind ki sena -2
jay hind, jay hind, jay hind
