She was not a Jewish, but the Jewish will be the winners in the end of days, that is what Muhammad always says, you just have to face it, nothing you can do about it, the Jewish are the children of apes and pigs but they will rule the whole world in the end, she would like to be a Jewish if he would be so kind. She went on in this way for a while until it suddenly dawned on Buki that she was speaking English. Where had she learned? From Muhammad’s TV, she replied. Muhammad was her patron, the man who bought her virginity. He sent one of his Hindus to her town, Saundatti, to buy him a new devadasi virgin every year. A devadasi is very holy, they don’t sell us to Muslims. He is very rich man, Muhammad, main man in Mumbai for Gulf States for buying and selling Indian slaves, Dalit men and women, boys and girls, but never devadasis. Devadasis he keeps for himself, private, until he stuffs them so full they are too fat to dance any more. Then bye-bye, finished with you, he dumps us here on Red Street, in Kamathipura. He is also very fat, Muhammad, more than one hundred kilos. When he is on top of you, you cannot breathe, all the air is coming out of your balloon. Sometimes he cuts with a razor blade, sometimes he burns with fire, sometimes he hits with a strap. There are marks on her body in places you could not see, she would show him for extra price. Soon I am going to buy your sister, Maha—Muhammad says this to her, many many times—I will buy her after her first period when they put her on sale, Mahahaha. If the priest got his dirty hands on her first I will return her, damaged goods, not like advertised. My name is Deva, if you wanted to know, my sister is Maha. I will tell you something big. They are going to steal everything you have, your hat, your coat, cut off your beard halfway and half the hair on your head and your two thumbs and your two big toes and strip you naked, they are going to beat you up and poke out your eyes and maybe kill you Mister Giant if you do not hurry, get out of here soon, soon, fast, very fast. But how will you get out of here? You do not know the way out. You need the help of the goddess. She would show him how to get out if he took her along, she would be his guide, but he must also swear—swear by Yellamma Renuka and also your Jewish God, Elohim, and also Allah—to take her to Saundatti in Karnataka after they escape and together they will kidnap her sister Maha from the temple. She will save his life today if he will pledge to save her sister tomorrow. Then they will all go together to where the Jewish are, and they will all be Jewishes together.
