In our Gujarat, story of
Jesal and Toral is very famous. Jesal Jadeja was an atrocious dacoit who
belongs to Kshatriya caste. He massacred many innocent people and beheaded many
newly married couples. People were shivered on hearing his name. Once he saw a gorgeous
woman, Toral and charmed by her majestic beauty. He kidnapped her. While
travelling he took a boat to cross a flooding river. The boat was trembling.
Jesal was terrified when he
saw the natural fury. He prayed Toral to help. Toral was a pious woman. Whatever
she said to pacify Jadeja was expressed in a famous folk song, “pap taru
parkash Jadeja, dharma taro smabhal re, tari bedali ne dubava nahi dau, o
Jadeja re em Toral kahe chhe ji” (O Jadeja, confess your sins, remember your
duty, I will not let your boat sink. O Jadeja, thus speak Toral)
Today, this story peeps in my
mind. Reason is: entire media is washing sins of Narendra Modi to make him
pious for PM’s gaddi. And the only difference between Toral and media is that
Toral compelled Jesal to confess his crimes, while Indian media do not want to
scratch sins of present day Jesal.
