Last Thursday was a painful day. That day saw deaths of two of very different Muslims. In the Nagpur jail at seven in the morning a man named Yakub Abdul Razak Memon was hanged. A few hours later, in Rameswaram, another man named Abul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, a great son of India, was buried with fanfare and ritual ceremony of full state honours. No camera was allowed to record hanging of Memon, a Bombay serial blast convict. The burial of the former President Kalam, also known as missile man, took place in full glare of day light.
