We often come across the fact that truth of any incident is subjected to how different people see it, like truth of a historic event is constant but truth of a historic place changes with time, truth of a person is often unknown, truth of independence is glorified but cruel, truth of ‘the partition’ is a joke and truth of literature is upto the reader’s interpretation.

But is there any chance that truth can be approached in a specific manner for every single event because it seems like there’s not. Every thing has it’s own truth and lie and both so deeply connected that sometimes it’s just impossible to differentiate between the two as we see in various stories brought to us by both local and world cinema for almost like two decades now.

A friend of mine told me once that the beauty of truth lies in dilemma. The statement in itself is a complete story. Story of a mandir which resembles a place of peace ironically kills more than a thousand in it’s making, story of a mandir which took over five centuries to finally come to peace, story of a god who resembled justice and harmony unfortunately became the reason of mass murders and riots and story of the truth that changed to dilemma just because of peace disappearing.

The truth of tolerant becoming ash and intolerant bearing crown never gets vintage, it’s always contemporary. Again, unfortunate but truth like the saying that truth is bitter or for today the truth is sold to the bitter.

Truth in fact is becoming perception rather than fact. Like for instance, the perception of mass decides what the truth is not the fact, the manipulation decides what the facts are not the event and the elections decide what the event is not the destiny. So, the truth is perception in contemporary times that is created for the betterment of oneself or an organization and masses, they are mere tools that think but only what they are made to, there own perception own ideology has been dead for long. It hurts but it’s truth.

The truth is that it takes only three months and no knowledge of area to part a country in two, the truth is it takes thirty years and loads of riots to come to a preassumed decision, the truth is people under same flag are being divided  mocking the principle of unity and the truth is freedom came at the cost of blood and sweat of INDIANS not Comunalists.

So realise the truth of freedom, realise the beauty of truth and don’t fall for mirage of perception.
