Knife by Salman Rushdie

How the thoughts and imagination can cause the havoc in ones life without signing up for it?

It took such a long time sine the book was published when he spent a large part of his life waiting for this moment to happen. The worst part is that the perpetrator never tried to see it for himself and followed a decade old word from someone he has never met.

Thoughts are ageless, and can never be destroyed but that is not true for humans. Any attack on the choice of life is not justified by any reasons but reason had left the discussion long back.

It was a moment which shows what a blind following can drive people to do. And it changed him forever bodily and otherwise. His words are as good as ever but with a missing eye and nearly missing hand, how much of a man is left?

Law will take its course but will there be any point in time when the people will be liable for their actions and not their thoughts?

Peace
