    Rushdieji, you are fearless. You are dauntless.Your are a true Indian. Your indefatigable spirit pulverised the knife that attacked you.triumph of freedom over fear is the legacy you leave behind.you are indeed the modern day founder of a freedom empire akin to the of Vijayanagar of the bygone era on the deccan plateau.

    Glad he survived the attack and he is genuinely a very strong and inspiring personality. I don’t agree with his views on modern day India though, but he has raised some valid points that I hadn’t thought much about before. It is still sad that even in the 21st century, people choose violence over peaceful dialogue. Disagreeing is okay, silencing someone else’s voice just because you disagree is not.

    THIRD CUT
    B.FRANKLIN:
    It is the wont of a fool
    To take a recommendation and appeal
    As instance for a flattery of himself,--
    Not the condign redress of the askew.
    It is an extraordinary fortitude
    When circumstance compels a nightingale
    Compose a tune for flattering the ears of
    A deafened bat. What may one say in this?
    How do men the like to this bear their days,
    Without a moment for purse and pertinent query;--
    Yet ply on with it with that sense of dignity
    Admitted in consummate accomplishment
    In harvest of the genuine grapes of life?
    A yet unquestioned way of life is as vain
    As dainty garment on a sculptured icon.
    How may true happiness befriend a heart
    That is corrupt and dubious in its ways,--
    When it is cognisant that, like a vulture,
    Its corpulence derives from feasting on carrion?
    He thinks much of his purse than anything
    Respecting this life. Our chase and catch of wealth
    Can so grossly impair our faculty;
    And make a conquerer of gold stride a mound
    Yet be convinced it is the pinnacle.
    The ecstasy derived from catching wealth
    And owning chests of gold, can be imitated
    By any rogue that cuts purses in the street,
    Else stealthily in alleys of public institutions:--
    But the fulfilment that definitely consorts
    Inherent affluence,-- an uberty of the mind,--
    Is far beyond the duplication of
    Uncultured souls. By airy tutelage,
    We go through a gradation in understanding;
    And wean ourselves of the impurities
    That curtail our conformity to culture
    And noble principles. But in men the like to this,
    It seems the great assimilation of letters
    Did not avail in winnowing their faculty
    Of the unwanted chaffs of character;
    And they have merely passed the desks of school
    Without the fundamental passage of
    The books of it;-- else did, but only of such
    Associated with the folly of deeming letters
    The legible scrawls of crowfoot on selected pages.
    The ultimate end of man is melioration;
    The cultivation of his thinking power
    Till he attains that point of knowledge in which
    His whole being is resplendent as a star.
    But not quite so the pointed aim of these men.
    A day in solitude is indolence
    If in the stretch of hours accorded it
    We did condone an idle fold of arms
    And did not ply our strength of faculty
    In that assiduous industry entail
    In ploughing the field of thought for rhetorics,
    Else the engagement of a riddle of chance
    For a response in remedy of aught.
    But the accepted fashion of this genteel class
    Is the unquestioned worship of idleness;--
    A fold of arms and snore of faculty,--
    A dissipate of time on the altar of leisure,
    Which they profess is the the true hallmark of
    Refined society. But, for myself,
    Assured one day I likewise shall be stiff,--
    Unconscious and immaterial to life
    As this acquired furniture,-- I breathe each day
    In full acknowledge of that with breath
    That is as liberating of the human will
    As anvil the particular instrument
    Intended by the embers in a furnace.
    Though purchased by the stealthiest of means,--
    Let the kite soar and soar till it obtains
    The pinnacle,-- as natural to its kind,
    It shall still suffer from inferior complex.
    It is a mingle of avarice and ignorance,--
    As held for many ages in feudal system.
    He shall not practise it on Pennsylvania.
    I shall deploy my reputation in this isle
    As if an instrument and carve with it
    Till I succeed in framing a circumstance
    In which when the impending investiture
    For the particular colony in which
    Comprises likewise Pennsylvania,--
    The character for the post shall sure be one
    That is approximate to whom I wish,
    It seems a replication of myself in the office.
    If rather like immortal Jupiter
    I could obtain it with a spear of lightning,
    Why should I hesitate, knowing by that,
    I quell the likely umpire for rivalry
    Beyond any dispute and lastingly?
    CURTAIN.

    I have only read Midnight Children, and that was many years ago. I dwell and scrawl from a place as remote and dim as the moon. As Tony Morrison and some among the advanced in days have done-- dropped from the breathing tree under the sun, Rushdie is that high too and will soon disappear on me. Ere that occurs, someone show him this excerpt from my recent--forty third play-- and let himself know or not if this one single sampled scene from the play juxtaposes adequately with any single scene taken from Shakespeare's Machbeth,-- hence worthy of his interest, before, as others, nature calls and I have to append his to my contemporaries that are denied the privilege of a good juxtaposition with our inimitable Shakespeare even in drama-- clash of twain titans in English dramatic verse. I forget, this is not sport or one of our modern things. As usual, I anticipate apathy-- feigned or not, on sighting of my lines-- by literature loving people.

He barely known now except in the fringes of society. The west has it's own rich history in literature that is covered in schools. His writing doesn't belong anywhere in history expect that he managed to antagonise some extremist muslims. Majority of Muslims have more important things in life then feel salty about a nobody who caught the attention of the west.

    SECOND CUT
    PENN:
    Good day to you too, gentleman.
    FRANKLIN:
    Your entrance is in derogation of the hour
    We stipulated for this meeting here.
    If it was but a personal business,
    Trust me, I will not suffer the least hand on my clock
    Condone this misdirection of my time.
    PENN:
    As the elected tribune of that horde
    That foisted this unnecessary idleness
    Upon my clock,-- you should be gracious that
    I yielded to it; and rather emphasis that
    Than groan about my clockness in tending it:
    For be you cognisant of this one fact;--
    The frequent yelp of some disgruntled curs
    Is hardly an event for proper stir
    From the point of view of a gentler breed.
    B.FRANKLIN:
    A shrub
    That is a denizen at the mountain's brow
    Is still not taller than the pines at the slope.
    Aside the ordinary uses of penny,
    What other furtherance is in the name Penn
    In Pennsylvania?
    PENN:
    This is a most intolerable dissipation
    Of my quite precious hour; hence while at it,
    I still prefer a frugal and direct
    Utility of it, than any further waste,
    As this derailment from the actual talk
    For which we greet apparently infers.
    Now, to the purpose of the meeting,-- and swift.
    B.FRANKLIN:
    I will oblige your mood,
    Since not myself but those I deputize
    Urge my own humour in this. The people in
    The populous colony of Pennsylvania
    Prefer that henceforth your own family
    Should graciously endeavour and align itself
    With the will of their popular assembly
    In matters that pertains to taxation,
    Since it attunes with the legitimate charter
    Established by your own predecessor,
    The founder of the colony.
    PENN:
    My father founded it
    By virtue of a seal from the British Crown;
    Which doing so, did not expressly or otherwise
    Confer on him authority to form
    A charter for the novel colony.
    It was his personal whim that gave birth to
    The document; hence brags no legitimacy
    Beyond the boundary of his individual will.
    Now that he is no more, so likewise is
    That gambol of an idle thought from him.
    B.FRANKLIN:
    You may consider it how you list;
    But far beyond your individual view
    There is popular consensus of opinion
    In Pennsylvania that regards it as
    A legal deed; as sacrosanct to them
    As Moses' ten commandments. Beside this fact,
    The status of your family in the colony
    Is quite absurd and extraordinary.
    It plagiarise on feudal ownership;
    And being so, blatantly infringes on
    The current ideal of individual ownership
    Endorsed by the subsisting colonies.
    As reason in this matter urge you do;--
    You should comply.
    PENN:
    Comply?
    I should oblige their will? those simpletons,--
    Who do not prioritise in their decisions;
    Hence in the hierarchy of likelihood,
    Are limited,-- consigned to the laughable flat.
    Oblige their will,-- that in this regard is as,
    Their rearing the presumption of a castle
    Upon the folly of a tenement?
    My family and name possess that much
    Of Pennsylvania; and shall keep it so,--
    Exempt from any levy that denotes
    Authority beside the Crown and Parliament.
    B.FRANKLIN:
    This is the tone of a mere swindler!
    PENN:
    Your fame abroad this realm,--
    Primarily obtained by your fondling with
    Electricity,-- is a thing of interest
    Only to all the idle lettered heads
    Discovered in it. As you may have mistaken,
    It does not capture the attention of
    The actual, foremost names of consequence.
    Hence if you falsely lean on it in presuming
    Your own advantage in your dealing with me,
    You might accost a sort of disappointment
    You did not contemplate. In this society,
    The principal arbiters in any issue
    Are from the owning class, the higher brows;--
    A point in peership which your utmost rise
    Would not dare dream.
    B.FRANKLIN:
    You have the privilege, hence chew on.
    But later you shall find,-- the lion's tail
    Is a commodity of pride you bite
    At the expense of further use of your teeth.
    PENN:
    By virtue of my blood,
    I have the badge and license in fellowship
    With the elite of means in this society;
    And shall see that eventually you despair
    In your pursued sinister campaign
    For squeezing penny from the purse of Penn.
    Good day!
    (Exit Penn.)

    FIRST CUT
    THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
    Part Two
    2:31am 22-5-2023
    ACT 1 SCENE 1
    CURTAIN. In London, England. In a public guest house. Curtain reveals Benjamin Franklin.
    B.FRANKLIN:
    Life is a temporal journey
    And our days are much like a farer in a cart;
    Who at the climax of his trip dismounts,
    And pines the wasting memory of the course
    As the relinquished vehicle vanish from sight:
    Yet as if for a nobler aim in view,
    We race on till that inexorable end.
    Since I wot how ephemeral these noons,
    I am diverting my days in engagements
    That may imprint my name indelibly
    Within the bright wheel of the orbiting sun.
    I am dying my hair with urgent deeds
    That shall prevent them from becoming grey;
    Hence crown me in undying youthfulness.
    This vehicle of my conscious seasons
    I shall eventually relinquish to dust
    Beneath a tomb;-- hence ere that fated date,
    I shall extract as much of myself from it
    With executions that will stand me apart
    From the corse that is mourned at my funeral.
    If I account the times I did allot
    Persuasive utterance to this opinion,
    I will sum up sufficing flight of days
    In meditating on it, but in all of them,
    Such dearth in minutes for a single step
    In motioning to fruition;-- my dilemma
    Apprises me of how primal our common fault
    In plying our existence in this limitary,
    Yet boundless saddle of conceivable dreams.
    In the inhabited world, what name of worth,
    Who gazing at a clear blue sky at noon,
    Have not envision the fruition of that dream
    In which he did obtain the tendency--
    As naturally eagles do-- and could ascend,
    Attain the lofty corridor of the clouds
    And Pierce their foggy forms with pitch and dives;
    Aye, far beyond that,-- venture to the point
    Where he could cast his gaze behind his reach
    In firmament, only to sympathise
    With the sun, the moon, and some luminaries
    Whose zeniths his ascension has succumbed?
    Is this not illustrative of that grandeur
    Acquired in our midst by that admired name
    To whom all the reputed plumes of society
    Regard with awe,-- as if than any, his
    His an acclaim with such exemption for men,
    It seems it situates him upon a summit
    Peculiar to all the ethereal sparks?
    If I could so dare entertain the dream
    As frequently I do the coveting of it,
    Why am I hesitant and waste in wistful thinking
    If actually I am convinced and hold in faith
    That as still every man I likewise owe
    My origin to that miraculous rouse from dust
    By a spark of divine light in the first man
    In clothless Eden;-- hence compose divinity
    And the immeasurable possibility
    Alloyed to it in this mutable, ruinous frame?
    In this same vehicle of consciousness,
    While sometimes in my fit of lethargy
    I have accommodated a single thought
    As if a Goliath in my faculty,
    In others, the harp of David in my head,
    I have successfully hosted timeless sentiments
    That shall eternally regale the house of Israel.
    But now, my sojourn here in London, England,
    Is likewise an occasion for my telling
    Amidst society in it. This day
    I am commissioned with the office of
    An envoy for the colony of Pennsylvania,
    And contemplate an urgent meeting with
    A gentleman-- a so-called name of means,--
    Yet serving the role of an overlord
    Over-- I think-- two-third of Pennsylvania.
    His status is quite disagreeable
    And countermands the olden charter
    In which the waxing colony was founded.
    For being the pioneer in the colony,
    This stated family exploits it as
    A means of minting pennies in their chest;
    As would, in former times, a feudal lord
    The aggregate of farms and tenements
    Made servile to the swelling of his holdings.
    The clock has struck the hour appointed,
    And ventured into miles of minutes that tell
    His lateness for our meeting;-- yet he is not in sight.
    In dealings, the instance that some fools detect
    That a particular name of excellence
    Attends with priority their own commission,
    Then most they seem quite tempted and flatter themselves
    And try the limit of his fortitude
    By interposing instance for apology.
    The clock now has encircled an hour' race
    In my observance of this patient stay
    For his arrival. If it was not a business
    That answers to to the general, but was private,
    No crown on earth will I permit devour
    My priceless minutes so.
    (Enter Penn.) Sir, you are welcome.

    For the Ukrainian panelists, you have to feel a bit shame and seek integrity and courage to know what is actually happening in Ukrine, you sold out most of your country to a few rich man , let your land used for proxy war with the most corrupted government officials. Soon you find out those wanted war they're no longer with you, Poland helped you , but you're arrogant and over confidence. No more weapons to Ukrine, Turkey too soo everyone. RIP Ukrine.
    I'm genuinely happy that Sulman, survived , it is shame for anyone to attack an elderly man.
