I Love India

November 30, 2011

It is 26 Nov today. I have been in India for three years. Exactly three years. I

remember it very clearly: we reached here on 26 Nov 2008. I am not exactly an

unknown person. Who doesn't know me? I think anybody who owns a TV has seen me.

Didn't I look so casual in jeans and a T-shirt? I am sure everybody must have

noticed the automatic rifle I used so effectively to kill Indians at VT station.

Later I learnt that it is now known by some other name. I didn't care what the

place was called. I was there to kill Indians and I did that to my satisfaction.

It was an easy job. There was nobody to stop us. It was amusing to see a couple

of policemen with obsolete weapons.

We were on a mission to kill anybody in the line of fire. We had come prepared

to be killed. I wasn't destined to die, though. I was captured.I was taken to a

hospital for the treatment of my injuries. Despite my hatred for he Indians, I

was moved by the compassion I was shown. Special arrangements were made for me

in the prison.

My trial was interesting. I had killed scores of people but the Indians

projected my trial as a symbol of justice enshrined in their system. It is

laughable. There were endless proceedings with long debates on even imaginary

issues. The judge was willing to listen to all the nonsense that I threw at

him.The whole world saw what I did but the court still wanted to prove my guilt.

Although I have been sentenced to death, I am not worried. My appeal against the

sentence will go right up to the president. I find it very encouraging that the

Indian presidents take 10-20 years to consider pleas for mercy. In the

meanwhile, I hope somebody will defend my right to live. Human rights is a big

issue in India. I have already got in touch with Arundhati Roy.

In Pakistan everyone says India is a soft state. Now I know why. I don't expect

to die soon. And, I very much intend to enjoy myself, courtesy of the Government

of India. India is the most terrorist-friendly country in the world. I just love

it here.

I love India.
