Ali The Brave Soldier
This all started with the brutal war of
Pakistan and India which was to infiltrate forces into Jammu and Kashmir to precipitate an insurgency against Indian rule on 1965 in between India and Pakistan. Many brave Pakistani soldiers fell martyr that day but the saddest thing was that India won the War that day and captured a soldier named Ali and took him with them. The Indians celebrated all night but they imprisoned Ali and in the morning they tortured him insanely. First they whipped him. Then, put his head in a tank full of water and kept it there for a whole minute. Then they pulled him outside and then they put him back inside and beat him with clubs. At night Ali was covered in bruises and blood. Everyday they tortured him brutally and he felt that he would never return to his homeland. But this changed one day when an old man came to him and gestured him to come forward. Ali came forward and the man told him that he was the gate keeper and was a Pakistani like him but acted like an Indian so that he could free POW’s (prisoners of war). Nobody suspected that he did it because they thought he was just an old man. Ali however, thought this was a trick but the old man told him that he could trust him and Ali had no choice but to give it a try. The man told him that there was a brick that would reveal a cave which was designed by the British during the Raj and at the end of the cave would be a park. Over there people would tell him the way if he said that he was sent from Muhammad (his name) and the old man went away and said may God speed your way, brave man. After the day’s torture, Ali waited at night when they were all asleep and tried all the bricks and the end one gave a passage way. He ran down it, limping due to his severe injuries, and saw a park where people were working and said to one of them that he was sent by Muhammad. They welcomed Ali and told him their story about how the commanders forced them to work or they would be tortured. They were very poor but Muhammad treated them kindly and brought them food. Then they asked him if he knew how to fly a plane and as Ali was from the army but he had an experience, he said yes and they directed him to a gate, said no more and got to their work. Ali went to the gate and as there was no entrance he begin to climb it and when he reached it he saw planes of all kind he was shocked but happy he found a plane of the right size and really flew the plane and woke some people and some Indian pilots flew after him but were too late. He had crossed the border and they were very angry. Ali returned to his wife and children and was healed in a few days and that was his happy ending.
