Translated from the Original Hindi by
KANWAR DINESH SINGH
The horse carriage of Death started moving towards the designated place carrying the souls of soldiers of different creeds who had been martyred in the war for religion.
The souls were very happy in the hope of going to heaven.
The carriage came to a halt at a crossroads and the horses started pulling it in opposite directions while uttering:
“Swarg”
“Jannat”
“Heaven”
Seeing this, a soul enquired of Death, “Do they not know the right way or are these horses not unanimous about the destination?”
Death answered with a mysterious smile.
“These horses were also killed in the war for religion.”
