The Jehangir of Jodhpur listened to the musings of the chinkara,
slaughtered 8 years ago, and the culprit -- the boy of Bollywood
-- was shown the gate that led to five years of imprisonment in
the royal city of Rajasthan.
A father sends an SMS to his daughter, describing the sad plight
of her mom.
"Chinkara dead takes its revenge on Didi Tera Devar. Didi is
your mamma. She might miss her lunch today."
The 'sad' news has sent the nation in total disarray. Housewives
decided to protest by skipping lunch, students bunked classes, and
heart-broken girls cancelled their dates only to side with their
favourite Bollywood hunk.
"I really feel sorry for Salman. So many people commit such heinous
crimes in broad daylight, but go scot-free. Why only Salman has to
go through the trauma? All I can say is even animals, when they cry
for justice from their graves, are heard of by humankind," says
Madhoo Agarwal, a housewife and an ardent fan of the Bollywood star.
Now that we have heard the verdict, there are some who believe
that too many politicians are involved who want to cash in on this
matter through media.
Says, Aprajita, "Instead of justice being meted out, it's more
of a show-off on the part of the Indian Judiciary. They simply want
to prove that even the celebrities are not spared, if they commit
a crime. So many human lives are lost everyday, but nobody is even
bothered. The jail sentence is justified under the Wildlife Protection
Act. But deep down, everybody knows that Salman is going to be out
soon."
Others strongly believe that the actor has simply been made a scapegoat
in the entire issue.
A renowned journalist is of the view that it's almost like punishing
the actor a second time. "The whole problem is that it took so
much time for the judgment to come. There should not be another five
years sentence for him this time. On the face of it, he committed
a crime and been punished for it. But the sentence should not go beyond
six months."
Will the fame, name and money play the trick and get the superstar
out of the jail soon?
Ayesha Taneja, a 14-year-old schoolgirl was heart-broken after hearing
the news.
"If Nehru can write from jail, why can't Salman act from there?
Inmates must be cackling in glee at the thought of popping and locking
Salman and sharing their cellblocks with him," says Ayesha.
Can't really say whether Salman's career is doomed or not as the entire
nation is his loyalist despite whatever he does.
"If Jessica's murderers can go scot free, why not Salman? Just
because he's a big star, everybody is behind him," expresses
Rashi Chadha, an architect.
What seems is that the dead stag has taken its revenge and the
law of the land has established its supremacy - Salman not being
apart.
