I have a nightmare that a day will come not far away when we and our children will worship the holy trinity of Lord Gee Pi Kay, Lord Maa Koo Nay and Lord Pi Kay Dee ... the lord of this land... the saviors. Its no surprise how this revered saints of God rose from commoner to be what they are today. They sacrificed petty greed, human emotions, family because they dared to dream big!
Lord Gee Pi Kay along with his family fought tirelessly from the grass root to become the highest lord of this Himalayan hinterland. He was accused of being power greedy, favouring his lone daughter, amassing money through corruption, inciting inter party conflict for his gain and what not! But he rose and how? He was the major force that brought down the 250 year old feudalistic rule of the Sha Hahs. He and his heard of sheep should never be forgotten for what they blessed us with. He was a true Messiah! No, he was the God!
Another of his kind was Lord Maa Koo Nay, who with his every rhetoric made sure the people don't forget what they aspire for. Freedom from the century old Lords, who treated them equal when the fact is every men are not equal... they are different, they are different and not the same. When the holy war against the brutal-tyrant, the last Sha Hah, was on full swing, he lost his mother. But keeping the personal loss aside, he dared to dream big, and never gave up on his dreams. It took him some time, but he achieved what he strived for. In process he was humiliated, but he kept his immoral standards high and thus we were blessed to be served by a Lord of his stature. We must have done something really bad in our past life that we got to see this day.
Last but not the least, Lord Pi Kay Dee... the champion of poor and the backwards. He gave them the voice and guns so that they could fight for their rights... rights to fight for their Lord, for his dream and for his family. The feudal Sha Hah slaughtered thousands with his own bare hands, the masses were trembling and begging for mercy. But he kept burning houses and families of everyone who differed with him. Then came the Lord Pi Kay Dee from the forest of the western hills, with with angels of deaths creating havoc among the loyal servants of old Sha Hah. History has it, villages and towns welcomed him with open arms and he conquered the whole nation without even a drop of blood.
I can;t dream of our suffering without these great lords and his followers. And of course the ever helpful friendly neighbour of ours. It is our great privilege that we were able to bless our future generation with a starving nation where chaos and poverty rules and these lords are worshiped. Nostalgia is not a place to be, and neither is utopia.
Just take a moment to thank these lords and their 601 followers who returned this country to pre-Sha Hah era were everyone had their own kingdoms to fight and where there was no harmony. You should feel sorry to have just even one of these Lords, our luck... we got three of them the same time. Who says Gods don;t exist? It's him who shows you heaven and hell. And in our case hell. It was our choice, so all is well.
