Anaim has been publicly manhandled and humiliated a score of times in court premises, in full view of public and slapped 4 to 5times by the court bullies. Humiliation also includes name-calling and crass and shameless accusationsin public. In the first week of March Mkhan nearly got his ghost out. Just outside, where court Nos 4 5 is situated a crowd of scores of small time mobile lawyers and litigants had gathered around. Mkhan again had created a scene. Anaim was standing near the courthouse waiting for a visitor. Seeing Mkhan Anaim stealthily tried to move away from his sight. But Mkhan would not let him go. He forcibly clasped his hand hard as if in hand shake and started manhandling him unprovked. They were both in uniform, one towering over the other. Addressing the crowd, which had gathered there, Mkhan swearing God’s name shouted“Khuda ki kasam this man has made some jahan pregnant. He has destroyed her life and chaste and that who is going to compensate her. She belongs to my place”



Anaim is a soft-spoken. Self-respecting and tongue tied lawyer and thoroughly a gentleman although poor and miserably unconnected. Anaim stammered and trembled. He could not speak out of shock and bended under the force of body, tongue, psychopathic disposition and behavior and colossal lies of Mkhan.



Akhan is unable to understand as to why Mkhan and other bullies are pursuing him with such single mindedness. His travails are too long and to many to be enumerated here.

Anaim took up the matter with New Delhi Bar Association office bearers several times. But every time he was told that he should not vitiate the matter for his own good.



Anaim is having illusions .At times in court he feels presence of Mkhan and other bullies around although they are not there. He hears his or their voice and when he turns it is somebody else.

Anaim says that once he got associated with a senior Skhan briefly upon his aggressive persuasions and temptations. No sooner he joined him he started forcing him to fetch him work that included first-time poor and anxious visitors who come to the court for various kind of work and also at nearby Ministry of External Affairs office.

Skhan attempted to involve him in various kinds of shady works. And that it is Skhan who is connected with racketeers in court that might have hired the bullies to fix him.
New Delhi Courts also known as Patiala House Courts is a court of elite jurisdictions in the the national capital of Delhi

The sound and action taking place, at few feet ahead at the counter where judge sat along with his staff- a small and cluttered place-appeared to be distant and muffled. After every disposal the shrill voice of the caller, calling the next name twice and thrice shot through and over- rode all.

The judge seemed oblivious of the atrocity of the environment. I cant say whether he was thoughtful, thoughtless or had simply resigned. I had seen the list hung outside there were sixty bail applications and forty regular cases to be dealt with. After hearing each argument nay speech he would put a sheaf of paper in the file and keep it aside: “ 2pm” “ 2.30pm” “3pm”. I went back to the court at 12.30 pm and finding the court deserted I enquired with one of the staff –whether the hearings were postponed. He told me that all the applications had been disposed of. At around I was informed that my application had been dismissed. “ No ground made out”: recovery to be effected.”
As I came out of the courtroom an old question assailed my mind: justice done or justice denied.

BrK commanded the woman Mai in his chamber to go to the woman lavatory and tear her shalwar from the front to remove the headband and get her hair bedraggled. He commanded brazenly and openly, his chamber being filled with juniors and clients and visitors. He commanded the woman to tear her blouse a little more and unsettle her hair more. He dictated the complaint to one of his juniors and asked him to get the complaint entered in Daily Diary at police station Tilakmarg.
At the same time he stationed two ruffians at the spot near gate no three to tell the policemen who would be visiting that they saw it.
Yes a case was registered against the gentleman for molestation and attempted rape. Mr. Singh was at hat time 65 years old, a proprietor of a departmental store at Okhla Industrial Area New Delhi. He was respectable gentleman with spiritual inclinationsn. Brk extorted hell lot of money.
Was it a poetic justice? A dispute arose between Brk and the woman with regard to the booty amount. The women lodged a complaint in the same police station against Brk for molestation and rape and blackmail the episode took a dramatic turn thereafter.

It is just routine documentation and paper work according to Cr.pc and Punjab Police Rules. Neither they have the talent, nor the knack, nor time and space to dig out truth and never it happens.
If you do not hire a very talented lawyer who must also be inherently sincere and naturally committed to his work your chances of conviction is high. “You are innocent unless proved guilty “ is in the book. The truth is opposite. Once you are in the dock you are guilty, you are guilty in eyes of judge, in the eyes of Reader, typos naibcourt, court staff, lawyers and of course the world at large.
There are hundreds of people languishing in jail, and have languished with years in jail, with their Bail Applications dismissed by all courts in line, and lastly supreme court.
However there is one bright side to it that is full proof that is the safe business of extortion cheating and destroying your enemy safely and soundly and roundly for a fee or no fee!!!

Their attitude towards the end of man are to all intents and purposes the same as we find in mysticism i.e. meditation, asceticism, monasticism and unification or annihilation in Primal Being. They are grounded in an effort similar to mysticism finding out ultimate Reality through speculative consciousness penance and self-abnegation.

This particular faculty is developed when:
1) Material self is cast off.
2) Sensory perceptions are erased from human consciousness.
You can attain the same by:
1) Penance and meditation
2) Simultaneous denial and suppression of desires and self-abnegation.

Some European and Hindu translators of the Vedas have removed the name referring to the Prophet, while others have tried to explain away the mantras (verses) on his life events, Ka’bah, Makkah, Medinah, Arabia, and other events using the terminology of the Hindus, such as purification rituals, and lands and rivers in India. Some mantras containing prophecies are inter-mixed with explanatory phrases, and it may be that these were commentaries and explanatory notes on the prophecies, which later became a part of the prophecy.
Several prophecies are found in Atharva Veda: (1) XX: 21, Mantras 6, 7, and 9, (2) XX: 137, Mantras 7 through 9, and (3) X: 2, Mantras 26, 27, 29, 30, and 32. Similarly, in Rig Veda, additional prophecies are found in: (1) VII: 96, Mantras 13 through 16, and (2) I: 53, Mantras 6 and 9. Finally, a prophecy is found in Sama Veda III: 10, Mantra 1. These are a sample of many prophecies. The serious reader may want to refer to scholarly work of Dr. A.H. Vidyarthi, entitled “Mohammad in World Scriptures,” 1990. This book explains the Hindu terminology used in the Mantras and the meaning and usage of certain words and phrases from within the Vedas and other Hindu Scriptures.

He was a pious and God fearing man. He also wrote the Gita and the Maha Bharat. Among the eighteen volumes of the Puranas is one by the title ‘Bhavishya Puran,’ literally meaning future events. The Hindus regard it as the Word of God. The prophecy containing Prophet Muhammad by name is found in Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3, Verse 5.
Before the English translation is presented, a note on the word Malechha that appears in the first part of verse 5 is in order. The word Malechha means a man belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language. This word is now used to degrade people meaning unclean or even worse. Its usage varies and depends on who is using it and for whom. Sir William Jones had great difficulty in recruiting a Pundit to teach him Sanskrit because he was considered unclean (Malechha). It was only after the direct intervention of Maharaja (King) Shiv Chandra that Pundit Ram Lochna agreed to teach him Sanskrit.
It is not known when this word began to be used in the derogatory sense, whether before the advent of Prophet Muhammad (s), after the conversion of Hindu King Chakrawati Farmas (of Malabar, located on the southwest coast of India) to Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet, soon after the arrival of Muslims in India (711 CE) or sometime later. Mahrishi Vyasa, the compiler of the Puranas, has defined a wise Malechha as “a man of good actions, sharp intellect, spiritual eminence, and showing reverence to the deity (God).
Many Sanskrit words have borrowed from Arabic and Hebrew with a slight change as was shown in the examples of Brahma, Saraswati and Manu, and as indicated in Table 2 below. It appears that this word is derived from the Hebrew word Ma-Hekha (), which means thy brethren (e.g., And he (Ishmael) shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:12; i.e., Ismaelites are the brethren of the Israelites). In the context of Biblical scriptures this word meant a descendant of Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), and it is well known that Muhammad (s) is a descendant of Prophet Ismail through his second son Kedar. Those who can read Arabic Script can easily see that a mistake in separating Ma from Hekha will produce a single word ‘Malhekha,’ and when adapted in another tongue like Sanskrit might sound like Malechha.
Table 2
The Sanskrit text and translation of Verse 5 of Bhavishya Puran, Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3 are given below. (The boxed area in the Sanskrit text identifies the word Mahamad or Mohammad).
A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mahamad...
The translation of Verses 5-27 (Sanskrit text of the Puranas, Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3) is presented below from the work of Dr. Vidyarthi.
“A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mahamad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Mahadev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the 'Panchgavya' and the Ganges water, (i.e. purging him of all sins) offered him the presents of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, 'I make obeisance to thee.' 'O Ye! the pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malechha opponents (idol worshipers, pagans).' ‘O Ye! the image of the Most Pious God the biggest Lord, I am a slave to thee, take me as one lying on thy feet.'
“The Malechhas have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in that country. Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed [note: e.g., Abraha Al-Ashram, the Abyssinian viceroy of Yemen, who attacked Mecca]; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance the well-known Mahamad (Mohammad), who has been given by me the epithet of Brahma is busy in bringing the Pishachas to the right path. O Raja! You need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified through my kindness even where you are. At night, he of the angelic disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of a Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of ‘Ashwar Parmatma (God, Supreme Spirit), I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat-eaters. My follower will be a man circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution, announcing call for prayer and will be eating all lawful things. He will eat all sorts of animals except swine. They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare. Because of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmans (Muslims). I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nation."

Further, it is likely that the Book of Abraham and those of other Prophets contained prophecies about the Last Prophet, Muhammad (s). Muslim historians of India hold the opinion that the graves of Prophets Sheesh and Ayyub (Job) are in Ayodhya, in the province of Uttar Pradesh, India. In ancient times, Ayodhya was known as Khosla according to Shatpath Brahmanas.
Some Pundits have now begun to reject the Puranas simply because they find in them many prophecies and vivid signs of the truth of Prophet Muhammad. A case has been made that the present Puranas are not the same collection that Vedas refer to and the real books were lost. Nevertheless, this contention is not correct. It is impossible that all the Puranas which were so widely read and keenly studied, could have fallen in oblivion and totally wiped out, whereas the Vedas, which only a few could read and understand, remained intact until now.
Another argument against the prophecies is that these were added to the Puranas at a later date. Nevertheless, this argument is also without a basis. Such a well-known book, in vast circulation and read at appointed times in prayers, cannot be easily tampered with. Moreover, all the Pandits and the learned divines of the Hindus could not have conspired and secretly added these prophecies to the Puranas. The most strange thing is that the corruption is made in favor of the Prophet and against their own religion.
All major books of the Hindus prophesy about Prophet Mohammad. In addition to many of his qualities, his life events, Abraham, Ka'bah, Bakkah (Makkah) and Arabia, the prophecies mention his name as Mahamad, Mamah, and Ahmad. The name Mahamad appears in the Puranas, Mamah in Kuntap Sukt (in Atharva Veda) and Ahmad in Sama Veda. Many different classifications as to the degree of importance of the Vedas have been made. For example, in Shatpath it is stated that Sama Veda is the essence of all the Vedas. At another place in Taitttriya Brahmana, it is stated that “This world was created from Brahma, the Vaishas were created from the mantras of the Rig Veda, the Kashtriyas were created from Yajur Veda and Brahmans were created from Sama Veda.”

The last one is a commentary on the Vedas, but it is considered as a revealed book. These books are in Sanskrit, the sacred language of the Hindus. The Vedas are divided into four books: Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sam Veda and Atharva Veda. Of these, the first three books are considered the more ancient books, and the Rig Veda is the oldest of them. The Rig Veda was compiled in three long and different periods. Opinions greatly differ as to the date of compilation or revelation of the four Vedas. Swami Daya Nand, founder of the Arya Samaj, holds the opinion that the Vedas were revealed 1.3 billion years ago, while others (Hindu scholars and orientalists) hold the opinion that they are not more than four thousand years old. Analysis of the Vedas reveal differences in the accounts of the places where these books were revealed and the Rishis (Prophets) to whom these scriptures were given. Nevertheless, the Vedas are the most authentic scriptures of the Hindus.
The Upanishads are considered next to the Vedas in order of superiority and authenticity. However, some Pandits consider the Upanishads to be superior to the Vedas primarily from the internal evidence found in the Upanishads. Next in authenticity to the Upanishads are the Puranas. The Puranas are the most widely read of all Hindu Scriptures, as these are easily available (the Vedas are difficult to find). The compiler of the Puranas is Maha Rishi Vyasa, and he arranged the Puranas in eighteen volumes. These books contain the history of the creation of the universe, the history of the early Aryan people, and life stories of the divines and deities of the Hindus. The Puranas were either revealed simultaneously with the Vedas or some time before. The sanctity and reverence of the Puranas is admitted and recognized in all the authentic books of the Hindus.
For a long time, the Hindu Scriptures were primarily in the hands of Pandits and a small group of men who had learned Sanskrit (The majority of the Hindu population knew Hindi and could comprehend only a smattering of Sanskrit words). Sir William Jones, who was a Judge and founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal, learned Sanskrit in the last decade of the Eighteenth century. He was instrumental in generating interest in Sanskrit and Hindu Scriptures in Europe, and it was due to his efforts that the Hindu scriptures were translated into English.
In 1935, Dr. Pran Nath published an article in the Times of India that showed that the Rig Veda contains events of the Babylonian and Egyptian kings and their wars. Further, he showed that one-fifth of the Rig Veda is derived from the Babylonian Scriptures. From a Muslim perspective, it is likely that the Hindus were given a revealed book or books that contained description and struggles of Allah’s Prophets sent previously to other peoples. It is also possible that commentaries written about them were incorporated later and became a part of the revealed books.
There are a number of examples of these in Hindu scriptures. The Atharva Veda is also known as ‘Brahma Veda’ or in its meaning as the Devine Knowledge. An Analysis of the Vedas reveal that ‘Brahma’ is actually Abraham, where the initial letter A in Abraham is moved to the end making it Brahma. This analysis is accurate when one writes the two words in Arabic script, a language close to that spoken by Prophet Abraham. Similarly, Abraham’s first wife Sarah is mentioned in the Vedas as Saraswati, and Prophet Nuh (Noah of The Flood) is mentioned as Manuh or Manu. Some Pundits consider Atharva Veda as the Book of Abraham. Prophets Ismail (Ishmael) and Ishaq (Isaac) are named Atharva and Angira, respectively, in the Vedas.

There would have been no skeptism about what it has said about principal issues.
The differences in the vision of the mystics are wider than there are differences among the different school of philosophy.
