    This was was really a puzzle for me :) My spoiler has multiple answers. Is it Midnight Children or Satanic Versus ? Or the recent Rushdie horrible stabbing incident? Or the general intolerance ? Or Iran fatwa against him because well is a clue for oil well in Iran? I was not able to understand the flower clue at all.

    Is it possible to arrive at the answer without using any word for the first image?

    Yes. I solved it without knowing the keyword for the first and last images in the top row. Once I knew the answer those clues fit right in. But I doubt I could have figured out the keywords directly from the images.

    Viswa has hinted a connection that answers your first q but the puzzle isn't about him. He shares that connection with whatever the puzzle is about. : )

    @1Sandhya,

    If you agree with the clues, you can press the like button. That in itself becomes a clue for those who are still trying.

    I don't know if I am allowed to give hints but here's one in a spoiler. Peek at your own discretion.

    India is celebrating a major milestone in it's history. But it is also a milestone for another not so happy historical event that occurred simultaneously. The answer is about that unhappy event.

    Thanks dear friends for helping me! Seems like this one was way out of my league. But enjoyed the process so much. Thanks a lot for a great puzzle, Sandhya! Waiting eagerly for everyone’s answers and how they solved it !
