MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Sometime people do what they have never thought of... confused? Here is a latest example: I had never ever thought that I would be writing things like BLOGS…..but thanks to my friend Mukul who has written a blog which inspired me so much that I also jumped into this blog river even without knowing proper swimming. Let me see if I can survive?? Please comment on this blog neutrally…..

So here goes my first blog:-
If I remember the days when I was in my 4'th Standard and had a really good time in the class. The monthly exams had just got over and then as usual everyone was waiting for the most dangerous phase of the exams... (of course result). I had a really tough teacher for my social studies but thank God I was quite confident in his subject may be because of the terror he had spreaded throughout the school about his punishment what we called it..'पिटाई'.... Then came the day when we were ready to get the answer sheets back....everyone was waiting for his hour to come….and after he entered the class and started returning the answer sheets…….Hey and what was happening?? He was calling everyone roll no. wise very-very fast and was giving a couple of slaps , or more than depending upon the marks, on the face straight away and then calling the very next roll no. very quickly...ohh no...everyone was shocked.....but I wasn't so much worried because I knew that I had done well in that exam so I was just confident that I was not going to get any slaps at least, may be I could get some scolding and not more than that...and then he called…..roll no. 12….ohh that was my turn so I just went to him and as soon as I tried to have my answer sheets back from his hand.....ohh no I got a tight slap from him...because the answer sheet was showing 09/20...I was just shocked how come I had got so less marks…..but when I, by chance, took a look at the name of the person whom the answer sheet belonged to.....ohh my God that wasn’t mine but of a person having roll no. 11 and since he was absent I had got his share of slaps...After that, of course immediately, I told my teacher that the answer sheet wasn't mine...he said sorry and returned me my own answer sheet which was showing a much better result. But if I say frankly…… I was not feeling good at all at that very moment...because of what???.........hey….of course no one could feel better at that moment. But after some time I thought that incident as a Mistaken Identity and I accepted my teacher's sorry. Nothing happened after that as I had forgot that incident after some time.... (that was a small story of my life and cost me nothing as such)
But the incident came into mind again after so many years when I was reading news paper a couple of days ago....It would not have attracted me if there was only one of such incidents in recent days....one teenaged boy was shot dead by Rashtriya Rifles when he was watering his garden.....four innocent children were killed in Kupwara area, J&K by our military jawans when they were gone out of a marriage ceremony to ease themselves and happy ceremony changed into a mourn and another innocent Brazilian was killed in London by London police only because of mistaken identity...the four children were assumed to be militants and the Brazilian was mistaken as a suicide bomber. It is a shame for our military forces and London police....but what'll happen...one probe is already been ordered into the incident and after some searching it will be given a case called MISTAKEN IDENTITY...and then….case is closed?? But what about those persons and their families who are all killed in this small (or big) mistake….what they have paid for this mistake as compare to mine….no one concerns about that….. (not even me to a gr8 extent)....Even after all these incident the police of London has still have the same orders to shot In The Head if they suspect someone to be a suicide bomber...what is this???....is it worth saving people's lives by shooting some innocent people...It was told that some 15 days back two militants were killed at the same spot in Kupwara and so jawans thought that the people, after 15 days and at the same place, could be militants.....I don't know whether they ( jawans or policemen) are right….they may be right... may not be....because as the London police say that if they shot a suspect in the leg he would definitely trigger the bomb and if they shot them in the chest...that is the place where they carry the bomb...so they don't have any other choice except shooting in the head...Let us see till where it goes...and cost how many lives?? These are the only cases known to media....there might be some other cases also which are not known to anyone…...
