This is an emotional and poignant open letter written by a courtesan, highlighting the atrocities and inhumanity that occurred during the Partition. The letter is addressed to Jawaharlal Nehru and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, narrating the stories of two girls named Bela and Batool.

Bela is a Hindu girl who witnessed her parents being killed during the riots in Rawalpindi, while Batool is a Muslim girl who saw her father and sisters being killed and dishonored by Jats in a village near Jalandhar. Both girls were bought by the courtesan, who gave them shelter in her home.

This letter tells the painful stories of these two girls and sheds light on the cruelty that occurred during Partition. It not only reveals the tragedy of Partition but also questions the boundaries of humanity and condemns the atrocities committed in the name of religion.

यह एक तवायफ़ के लिखे गए भावुक और मार्मिक खुले पत्र का हिस्सा है, जिसमें उसने विभाजन के समय हुए अत्याचारों और अमानवीयता का उल्लेख किया है। यह पत्र जवाहरलाल नेहरू और मोहम्मद अली जिन्ना को संबोधित है, जहां वह बेला और बतूल नाम की दो लड़कियों की कहानी बयान करती है।

बेला एक हिंदू लड़की है, जिसने अपने माता-पिता को रावलपिंडी में दंगों में मारा जाते देखा, और बतूल एक मुस्लिम लड़की है, जिसने अपने पिता और बहनों को जालंधर के एक गांव में जाटों के हाथों मारा और अपमानित होते देखा। इन दोनों लड़कियों को इस तवायफ़ ने खरीदा है और उन्हें अपने घर में पनाह दी है।

यह पत्र उन दोनों बच्चियों के दर्द और विभाजन के दौरान हुई क्रूरता की कहानी बताने के लिए लिखा गया है। यह न केवल विभाजन की त्रासदी को उजागर करता है बल्कि इन्सानियत की सीमा और मज़हब के नाम पर हुए जुल्मों पर सवाल उठाता है।

In this episode of Hindi Gharana, I, Gourav Garg, take a deep dive into Mother India by Prayaag Akbar. This novel, which aims to address critical social issues in modern India, left me with mixed feelings.

The characters, though interesting, didn’t always connect with me on an emotional level, and certain themes could have been explored in a more impactful way. I’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and why this book might still be worth reading for those who are intrigued by social and political narratives.
