Written in Homeric fashion, The Lusiads (Os Lusiadas) focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. It is often regarded as Portugal’s national epic, much in the way as Virgil’s Aenied was for the Ancient Romans, or Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey for the Ancient Greeks. The influence of his masterpiece The Lusiads is so profound that Portuguese is called the “language of Camões.” It was first printed in 1572, three years after the author returned from the Indies.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

16. BUDDHA:One day, the Buddha was strolling along on the brink
of the lotus pond of paradise.
The lotus flowers in bloom in the pond were all as white
as pearls, and the golden pistils and stamens in their centers
ceaselessly filled all the air with ineffable fragrance.
It was morning in Paradise.
Presently, the Buddha stood still on the brink of the pond, and
through an opening among the leaves which covered the face of
the water, suddenly beheld the scene below.
17. NARRATOR: As the floor of hell lay directly beneath the
lotus pond of Paradise, the River of the Threefold Path to
eternal darkness and the piercing peaks of the Needle
Mountain were distinctly visible through the crystal water,
as through a stereopticon.
BUDDHA: Then his eyes fell on a man named
Kanndata, who was squirming with the other
sinners in the bottom of Hell.
18. NARRATOR: This Kandata was a great robber who had done
many evil things, murdering, and setting fire to houses, but
he had to his credit one good action. Once while on his way
through a deep forest, he had noticed a little spider creeping
along beside the road.
So quickly liftling his foot, he was about to trample it to
death, when he suddenly thought: “No, no, as small as this
thing is, it too has a soul. It would be rather a shame to killed
in inconsiderably,” and he spared the spider’s life.
19. BUDDHA: As he looked down into Hell, the Buddha
remembered how this Kandata had spared the spider’s life.
And in return for that good deed, he thought, if possible he
would like to deliver him out of Hell. Fortunately, when he
looked around, he saw a spider of Paradise spinning a
beautiful silvery thread on the lotus leaves.
The Buddha quietly took up the spider’s thread in his
hand. And he let it fall straight down to the bottom of the Hell
far below through the opening among the pearly-white lotus
flowers.
20. Kandata: Here Kandata had been rising and sinking with
the other sinners in the Pool of Blood on the floor of the
Hell.
NARRATOR: It was pitch black everywhere, and when at times a
glimpse was caught of something rising from that darkness, it
turned out to be the gleam of the peaks of the dreaded Needle
Mountain. The stillness of the grave reigned everywhere, and the
only thing that could be heard now and then was the faint sighing
of the sinners. This was because such sinners as had come down to
this spot had already been worn out by the other manifold tortures
of Hell and had lost even the strength to cry aloud.
21. Kandata: So, great robber though he was, Kandata, choking with
the blood, could do nothing but struggle in the pool like dying
frog.
NARRATOR: But his time came. On this day, Kandata lifted his
head by chance and looked up at the sky above the Pool of Blood.
22. Kandata: He saw a silver spider’s thread slipping down toward
him from the high heavens, glittering slightly in the silent
darkness just as if it feared the eyes of man.
When he saw this, his hands clapped themselves for joy.
If, clinging to this thread, he climbed as far as it went even
enter Paradise. Then he would never be driven on to the Needle
Mountain or sunk in the Pool of Blood.
23. Kandata: As soon as these thoughts came into his mind, he
grasped the thread tightly in his two hands and began to climb
up and up with all his might. Because he was a great robber, he
had long been thoroughly familiar with such things.
24. NARRATOR: But hell is nobody knows how many myriads of
miles removed from Paradise, and strive as he might, the Pool of
Blood where he had just been was already, much to his surprise,
hidden deep down in darkness. And the dreaded Needle
Mountain glittered dimly under him. If he went up at this rate,
he might get out of the Hell more easily than he had thought.
With his hand twisted into the spider's thread, Kandata
laughed and exulted in a voice as he had not uttered during all
the years since coming here: "Success! Success!"
25. NARRATOR: But suddenly he noticed that below on the thread,
countless sinners were climbing eagerly after him, up and up,
like a procession of ants.
KANDATA: When he saw this, Kandata simply blinked his
eye for a moment, with his big mouth hanging foolishly
open in surprise and terror.
26. NARRATOR: How could that slender spider’s thread, which
seemed as if it must break even with him alone, ever support the
weight of all those people?
27. Kandata: If it should break in midair, even he himself, after all his
efforts in reaching this spot, would have to fall headlong back into
Hell.
But meanwhile, hundreds and thousands of sinners were
squirming out of the dark Pool of Blood and climbing with all
their might in a line up the slender, glittering thread. If he did not
do something quickly, the thread was sure to break in two and he
would fall back to Hell. So Kandata cried out in a loud voice:
“Hey, you sinners! This spider’s thread is mine. Who gave
you permission to come up? Get down! Get down!”
28. NARRATOR: Just at the moment, the spider’s thread, which had
shown no sign of breaking up to that time, suddenly broke with
a snap at the point where Kandata was hanging. Without even
time to utter a cry, he shot down and fell headlong into the
darkness, spinning swiftly around and around like a top.
Afterward, only the spider’s thread of Paradise, glittering
and slender, hung short in the moonless and starless sky.
29. BUDDHA: Standing on the brink of the lotus pond of Paradise,
Buddha had watched closely all that had happened, and when
Kandata sank like a stone at the bottom of the Pond of Blood, he
began to walk again with sad expression on his face.
30. NARRATOR: Doubtless Kandata’s cold heart that would have
saved only himself, and his fall back into hell, had appeared to
Buddha’s eyes most pitiful. But the lotuses in the lotus pond of
Paradise cared nothing at all about such things.
The pearly-white flowers were swaying about the
Buddha’s feet. As they swayed, from the golden pistils in their
ineffable fragrance ceaselessly filled all the air.
It was near noon in Paradise.
