An India-Pakistan love story that went horribly wrong



It's often said that falling in love can be dangerous. But as a young man growing up in the town of Rampur in northern India, Mohammad Javed never imagined his love for a Pakistani relative would see him branded a terrorist and sent to jail for eleven and a half years.
Two years after a court cleared him of all charges, he shared with the BBC his extraordinary tale of falling in love, the letters they exchanged, his abduction and torture by the Indian authorities, the long years spent in prison and the most heartbreaking part of all - losing his love.

As transiting planets make aspects to each other, they are often brought to the angles at some places on earth. In such cases stories unfold at those places that are linked to the nature of the planets.  On April 14, the sun entered sidereal Aries and a chart for this important mundane event at Rampur had Venus-Pluto square on the angles.  Venus, as we know, is the goddess of love while Pluto is the dark god of the underworld. Pluto introduces Venus to what lies beneath the flowers and elegant gestures of romantic courtship. The underpinning  is often not ‘pretty’ and certainly not ‘fair’. The prettiness of Venus is pitted against the subtleties  and secret purpose of the destroyer-rapist. Something or someone tries to dismember the very thing one values and cherishes the most. However, Venus-Pluto is not about wanton ruin. Perhaps it is intent upon self-revelation, or a discovery of the underworld of one’s own emotions – an acceptance of a daimon more powerful than good intentions and loving thoughts. Quite often it leads to the “death” or “separation” from a lover.  Venus-Pluto will often blame circumstances for this fated intrusion into idealized love but it is actually the  “unconscious” of the participants that draws these events [1].
