Author Description

The Massive Betrayal- No One to Blame In this book, Narain has narrated the true incidents of his life during Indo-Pak partition in 1947. His story depicts the tragedy of millions during riots amidst celebrations for independence by others. Innocent Hindus and Sikhs, who had nothing to do with politics, went through a nightmare and the worst phase of their life because of weak statesmanship and poor capabilities of their leaders. It was highly impractical to assume that Muslims in Pakistan would remain neutral to Hindu minority, who were left behind. The painful truth that his father, Dr Paras Ram was killed by Pakistan army (Baloach Unit) and not by rioters still burns Narain inside. How human greed intertwined with religious fanaticism and communalism changed life of millions of families overnight, still haunts him. With no serious policing, coupled with Government indifference, the partition turned out to be unthinkable nightmare for the masses. Unfortunately, it has been an abyss of well- construed spiral of non-activity of masses to take healing steps to reduce religious hatred and enhance harmony among different factional groups. It shivers the feeble soul to blink bleakly of such barbarism in the garb of religious divide for another 3 generations to follow; to understand, sense and feel the least. This book is a kaleidoscope of his pained soul and justles, why people from different sects as humans refuse to take lessons from such inhumane religious conflicts and never take refuge in any recourse for alleviating inhuman acts and partisan conflicts for our future generations to grow with. For the victims, neither religion nor Government was helpful. The differences over faith and religion had put people through beastly times. If this was all in the name of religion, one would say it is better not to have religion at all.
