Babaji ki Jai

What does it take to cure one of cancer in Punjab? Not the multi-specialty hospitals, nor does the drive by all the politicians who cry hoarse over the pollution menace or the dreaded over – use of pesticides, nor does the newest endeavor of the CM help in curing our Bibiji’s of rural Punjab.

We have a cure. Eureka, the God men of Punjab have hit up on the next big thing. Last heard, Lancet magazine was enquiring about this cure.

One such case heard from the heart of Punjab, Doab has everyone sitting up and remarking about the intelligence of our simple ladies. Who said we need more doctors? Why do we need research labs? Stop this inhuman treatment against the primates and those lovable hamsters. I say, with full confidence that we are the land of vegetarians and compassionate human beings.

Yesterday, we heard about this case. A young lady was suffering from cancer and she heard through the local jungle grapevine about this Babaji.  Babaji had divine powers and had after a long hard mediation /tap had been granted powers where by he could cure cancer! Babaji met his patients early morning or late at night when he blessed them. This poor simple lady gave installments all totaling 72,000Rs and then for the last time, she was asked to bring a 20 gm. gold bangle and her photograph to be put on the dera board. She obliged, begging money from her relatives, with blind faith that she would be cured of the dreaded C.

The ignorant lady went to Babaji and gave all the required stuff, he gave her two live fish in return asking her to bury them in her kitchen at night and not telling anyone what had happened. She agreed and did what was asked.

Next morning, the next, the week after nothing happened, she still had all the problems, al her tests were wrong.

When she went back to the God man he threatened to kill her and asked her to leave.

What do you do? Why has ignorance based on anything remotely religious been the reason for us to blindly accept? Why has religion reached such a threatening persona that we agree to blindly follow it like the mice of the Pied Piper of Hamelin…folk homily.

These unsuspecting ladies who could be cured by the money spent on this trickster industry so called Babas , need to be all put behind bars. The sad part is that these poor ignorant uneducated and sometimes educated too ; all fall prey to this. We live in the times, where clothes, outer garb and long hair, scare us into submission that all can be cured.

Why have lost the eye to look beyond the outer deceptions? Till, then the Babaji is running scot free, even if a complaint has been registered with the local police station. Last heard, he had promised SHO sahib promotion , so …. The circle goes on like the snake eating its tail!
