OPEN LETTER

History my dear Arvind, Beckons

You knocked on the citadels of power. And rattled not just the Congress, not just the principal opposition but also stirred the conscience of a billion Indians. And today history is knocking at your doorstep.
The Time has come to showcase your resilient-magnanimity. Not  for your brethren and comrades-in-arm-Prof Yadav or his companion Prashant Bhushan, the gentlemen with his quixotic smile and cerebral legal prowess. Your magnanimity is for AAP. It can infuse life-giving oxygen to this asphyxiated infant.
You wept when political churnings curdled & threatened to split this enfant-terrible. You said “I can’t fight Yogendra bhai. He is like my elder brother." We deeply cling onto hope here. That you will see reason to embrace back the founding members with dignity. And I am sure Professor Saab will match your magnanimity eye to eye. And so will Prashantji’s pragmatism rise to the occasion.
It is surely not for your sake or Professors or our lawyer activist’s. It is for the nascent AAP movement. It is not just a political party, not just an alternate entity. It has been the refreshing new breeze that blew over our landscape and infused hope. It is the change whose time has come. It’s inspiration for our youth to come out of their languid apathy and undo all. The wrongs of our previous political dispensations. Our freedom struggle will finally not go in vain Sir.
An RTI activist like you, who has borne the brunt of the chilly Delhi nights, who fasted  on those streets, can’t fail to recognize the death blow this movement is facing. Surely you do mean to have a Lokayukta in your party. Like the famous cine artist who declared solemnly that “Mere Paas Maa Hai!’’, wouldn’t you want to have Rear Admiral Ramdaas to on your side?!! What ails you my friend? Where indeed is our hero who burst on the scene to catch the imagination of the youth as dramatically as the Hero who came out of the “Phata Poster’’.
Believe me, it is never too late. Even if the doors have been closed, they can be opened anew. And there can be nothing greater than that to stump the political outfits and their hand maiden, our sting news channels and electronic media. As you infuse new life &vigour into AAP, I am sure your hacking cough will also disappear.
Do heed Sir. This parting of ways of yours and Professor Saab’s will deeply hurt the AAP movement. You will not be able to see an ordinary AAP volunteer eye to eye, their dismay, dejection, despair are too stark to miss ‘’Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi, Who Subah Kabhi To Aayegi” janab.
A fervent prayer on my lips. History is at your doorsteps. WAKE UP SID.

Regards
DrChitralekha J.S.

NEW DELHI: BHARAT RATNAS GALORE ,P>At five, this is the maximum number of the highest civilian award of Bharat Ratnas declared in one year. Beginning with former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur and then followed by former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani. After a lull of a few days comes the announcement of Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan or more well known as M.S. Swaminathan, the acclaimed father of Indian Green Revolution, followed by Chaudhary Charan Singh, a former Prime Minister and 2 times Chief Minister of U.P. and P.V. Narasimha Rao, a former Prime Minister. Truth of the matter is except Lal Krishna Advani, who is past 96 years of age, all others have passed away. This government at the centre is there since last almost 10 years, and attempting to remain continued for another term. This government could have conferred the honor all these years, but it didn’t happen for varieties of reasons. However it’s better late than never. It could even be termed a politi...

ELECTION – 2024 – 2029 How Formidable is Narendra Modi for opposition to Challenge! But who is Modi – Narendra Damordas Modi? A resident of Vadnagar, in north eastern Mehsana district of Gujarat where he completed his schooling. Born in Sept 1950, he started to attend the local RSS Shakha at the age of 8, where he met his future mentor Laxman Rao Inamdar. Public space informs that, he used to help his father in his tea stall in Vadnagar railway station. There appears to be some confusion on this, since it was only in 1970, the railway station was set-up in Vadnagar. But, there’s also a mention that Vadnagar had a meter guage train running since 1930, which means, there could have been some shelter which could pass-off as a railway station. At the age of 17, probably after finishing his schooling, he left home for Ramakrishna Math Ashram in Rajkot, then to Ramakrishna Ashram Belur Math in West Bengal and from there to Almora to be in Swami Vivekananda’s Ashram. Public space also info...

TEMPLE IN AYODHYA- An Overdue STATEMENT 22nd January 2024, shall mark as a very significant day in the contemporary history of India that is Bharath. It was the day the long awaited temple for Lord Rama, the Maryaada Purushottam in the Indian pantheon of God heads, was formally consecrated at Ayodhya. The ‘500 years old’ wait is over, so informs public space. It has ended the alien influence that had disturbed the national conscience from times immemorial. However belated, the temple at Ayodhya has been an unprecedented development. It’s a statement all Indians, Hindus in particular, can be comfortable to align it. Yes, this temple at Ayodhya did wipe out a historical humiliation, where an existing temple was destroyed some 500 years ago to build an alien place of worship. It was a statement then, for the alien force, only to humiliate us. Yes, at long last we could reverse it, at our own terms, within the precincts of law and order. Indeed, the temple at Ayodhya has proved that rev...
