CURFEW IN AGRA. 30 AUGUST 2007.

Four persons on a motorbike, in defiance of the traffic regulations meet an accident and are killed.

These four law-breakers happen to be Muslims and are part of a procession celebrating the Muslim festival of Shab-e-barat.  The participants in the procession are obsessed with the pious, holy and dedicated thoughts.  This is what their attires, Countanences, slogans and generous acts give an 
impression.  For them the overriding commitments are compassion, respect to the departed souls and atonement.  They are offering Tobahs to the almighty for past sins and firm commitments to refrain from any sin in future.  They are seeking the Barkat of Allah to stand upto such pious commitments.

Yet they go berserck and induldge in violence, riots, burning of the properties and even hindering the work of medical and fire-fighting authorities.  Afterall they were "provoked, aggrieved and
victimised" as always!  

Perhaps this is their fitting tribute to their precious faith!
