All 769 bodies cannot be personified in any
case simply because in such like stampede all those who died may not
necessarily be found with personal identification since no country including
Saudia has ever thought of that each haji must wear identification bands with
details like his name, nationality, home address, telephone, fax and email
along with his emergency contact number etc so that in case of stampede when
ahram could possibly come off and the dead me be semi naked or naked he can be
personified. In some cases the some bodies can also be so mutilated and or
disfigured that it will become too difficult to identify as to who is who. In
all possibilities all the 4 identifications bands (2 each on hand and feet)
cannot be off from the body hence the person can be identified and his
relatives can be contacted. I wish I am wrong which I am not. Saudia as of this
time when I am writing it has announced that 769 have died but very much
shockingly the concerned Saudi officials have still not given nationality wise
break down of the fatalities and I can say with full confidence and conviction
that they must be facing identification difficulties otherwise which force on
the face of earth can awe Saudis not to identify each and every one from 769
bodies. Now nothing can be done except to either weep or curse but nevertheless
identification bands must be made compulsory from next haj. Who differs with
me? Iqbal Hadi Zaidi / Kuwait /
