India is a country of different religions,castes,languages,dresses,foods,cultures.customs etc.Aarya,Dravid,Shak,Hunn,then Saltanat,and Mughal and then British,Era.Many attacked looted and went away ,some of them stayed and got mixed in this country.
Lives in ancient times were very very much different.The social values were strong but still crime’s graph was not low.The number of thefts were quite big though there was provision of tough punishment ,but still thefts were reported every where .
Gangs of dacoits were also very common ,living in deep forests ,and doing crime ,they used to rob rich people ,mostly during marriage or any other functions of festivals,they kill the person making hurdles.There were some very dangerous groups active in deserts.Those days there were no means of transport people used to travel on foot and reach on bullock carts,or by riding horses.In desert people used to travel on Camel’s back and most of the times they travel in group,these groups called “Kafila”A special type of criminals were living with their families like big group in desert ,and used to make friendship with the kafila people provide them cooked food ,helped them stay there for some rest and then quickly finish them all by execution and burry them all in desert.The type of killing by the small string was called “Firni”,Now all the money luggage was theirs after burying them in desert they used to sell the camels.
A Story published in “Kalyan” about 50 to 55 years ago I want to share that story with all of you.A rich man named Ramashray built a Dharmshala {Inn} in deep desert for travellers comfort.He was a middle age man and had have no child.He had have an established business of money lending in the townTown was far from that place so he appointed a man named Babusingh and his wife Katori to manage that Dharmshala.They were known to him.They had a newly born baby after appointing them Ramashray went back for his work he used to send monthly fixed amount for running the Dharmshala{Inn} and his salary.After five years he received an invitation from Babusingh for his son’s Marriage{Those days child marriages were very common in India’s most of the parts}Ramashray came there attended the marriage,He then suggested Ramashray to send his son Suraj with him to the town to learn business so that he can have a good future.It was a shocking offer for the couple it was very tough for them to send their only child away,They discussed a lot and at last decided to send him with Ramashray for his better future.After five days Ramashray and Suraj departed from that place in Bullock cart. Babusingh and his wife Katori were very sad ,Somya the newly wedded wife of Suraj and her parents were also there ,At the time of departure.Some days parents missed him a lot but then got busy in their routine.
The work was going on smoothly while one day a newly wedded couple came there they had to go to another town across the Desert.They were looking very rich The lady was wearing lots of precious ornaments,seeing them Katori’s eyes opened wide,shining with greed.After dinner when all the people were in their beds,Katori could not sleep and she insisted Babusingh,”Go and bring those ornaments any way”Babusingh tried to make her understand but failed ,He went in their room and tried searching the ornaments in very low light coming from the lantern hanging out side in corridor,but still he couldn’t see properly and dashed to a brass pot ,It made quite a big sound and the couple woke up,this was the critical moment,Babusingh and Katori who also came there following her husband attacked and strangled both of them,though it was not so easy and they got success after a big struggle,Katori then brought the lantern inside then searched all their luggage she then removed all the ornaments from their bodies { Males also used to wear ornaments those days}then they dragged their bodies and buried far from that place.After coming back Katori put on all the ornaments on her body and felt happy,she had no regret for what was done by them.They dug a pit in the ground put a brass pot there and hid those ornaments in it.
After two months a man came there to stay.He had have a big amount of money they killed him ,now Babusingh had a strong string to strangle,and buried him with the logic, they are doing it for their child and his wife’s future.They killed many people and filled many pots with ornaments and money,this way 17 years passed.Somya was living in neighbouring village but could come there very few times to meet them.
One evening a smart young man came there to stay.He was going back home after earning big amount of money .He insisted Katori to cook Kheer with almonds ,hearing this Katori remembered her child Suraj ,He is also very fond of such Kheer,Then he insisted to eat dinner with them in the kitchen.During dinner he said,”The taste is exactly like my mother’s cooked food.Katori and Babusingh felt a soft feeling for him.
In the midnight Babusingh woke up,Katori hold is hand and said,”Stop now !We have a lot of money and jewellery ,Babusingh said,”Let me go for the last time”Katori agreed.They went and killed the man and then buried him as usual.

Next morning they woke up with the hard knock on the door.Katori opened the door.It was Somya ,she hurriedly came in and asked ,”Where is he ?”she asked.
“Who”? asked both of them together.
“He” Your Son.{ In Indian villages,still women don’t take husband’s name }
She then said,”He came to my house yesterday in the afternoon,as my village comes first.Then he planned to give you a surprise –not to tell you –Who he is—till I come here next morning.”Where is he ?
Babusingh and Katori were speech less,sat down on the ground, holding heads with their hands.
