Amitabh Bachchan has maintained silence on social media ever since the Pahalgam attack. He has penned a long note about it on his blog, thus expressing his feelings in depth. India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ as its fight against the terrorist attack, and Bachchan, on his blog, called this a brilliant thought. He further went on to explain the deep significance of ‘Sindoor’ in our culture and why thus, this was just the right thing to do by PM Narendra Modi and the Indian Government.Bachchan began his thoughts in Hindi and he quoted his father’s poem, “तू ना थमें गा कभी ; तू न मुड़ेगा कभी”He further expressed his thoughts at length. The actor wrote, “The innocent couple on a vacation holiday in Pahalgam , was attacked by terrorists, posing as Tourist guides .. they pulled them out in the open, asked the Husband to pull his pants down, and when he saw that he was not circumcised, a traditional religious procedure in Muslim men, he told him recite the Kalma .. when the man a Hindu did not know, he set up to shoot him .. his Wife fell at his feet and said do not kill him .. but he mercilessly shot him, and made the Wife a widow in front of her eyes .. the Wife then begged this monster, this demon, to kill her also .. this devil of a man said : ‘I won’t kill you .. you go and tell Modi ..” !!“Feeling immensely for the unspeakable grief of the widow, her mental state and her absolute destruction .. I suddenly remembered a line from one of my Father’s poem :… and this I built ..the wife went to Modi and said : this is the line from that poem ..”है चिता की राख कर में माँगती , सिंदूर दुनिया !! the ashes of the funeral pyre are in my hands and the World is asking for sindoor ..”He added, “when the Widowed Wife went to Modi with open hands and spoke those words that I have quoted of Babuji , he replied “go .. i have given Sindoor ..” !!! This is a symbolic word build .. What happened with the Wife at the time of the killing and the words and incident writing earlier is real ..”Bachchan further explained the significance of ‘Sindoor’ in the Hindu religion and said, “SINDOOR in our religion is a ritual during the marriage ceremony when the to be Husband, puts the red vermillion on the parting of the to be Wife .. the parting in the hair which is made in the middle of her forehead .. in Hindi it is called ‘maang’ माँग .. it is an extremely pious moment .. and the Wife wears the ‘sindoor ‘ throughout her life .. its a symbol of marriage and respect ..If the husband dies before the wife’s death , the Wife wipes off the red vermillion from her parting .. and it is a most sad and emotional moment .. Sindoor being the symbol of dedication respect protection immortally .. prized and displayed with pride , assiduity , commitment , sedulousness”Thus, he called ‘Operation Sindoor’ a brilliant thought. “The Pahalgam attack where they killed 26 innocent tourists .. all with their families enjoying a holiday , mercilessly, at one spot – even on a couple just married three days ago, who had come for their Honeymoon .. will never be forgotten .. SO ..the Government , who have been telling the neighbouring authorities to stop terrorist camps and activities in our Country , has never been heeded .. Hence Modi and the Government decided to respond to the terrorist base camps in the neighbours and launched a military procedure .. the results of which are well known .. 9 of their terrorist camps and outfits were destroyed .. militarily ..” He added, “Brilliant thought .. it signified that the demons wiped out the sindoor from the the married women, made them widows and India through the attack and naming it Operation Sindoor signified symbolically that we shall fight to restore it .. and they did ..AND here is the best part .. Two personnel from the Indian Army, were chosen to give a title to the Operation ..You know who they were ..? They were two Women Officers ..A Colonel in the Armed forces and the other a Wing Commander in the Air Force .. “Bachchan further appreciated our Armed Forces and inspired them to keep going and fighting as he explained why he quoted this poem ‘Agneepath’ by his father which he started off with. He said, “And I chose to select words from it : as an inspiration and a demand to the Army and all Indians .. to continue the fight !! Against the injustice done to us and in particular the innocent .. !!! ” you shall never stop .. you shall never turn back .. you shall never bend ..Path of Fire ! Path of Fire ! Path of Fire !!”
