What They Said

I am referring to your perspective on Mr. S M Krishna, former CM, Karnataka and former Minister of MEA at the federal government (p.8, Issues & Concerns, March, 2007)
You are, first, critical of Krishna's personal political behaviour and second, based on his age, you think he is in no way significant politically or socially. Thereby, you are condemning all those who are old just because Krishna is 84.
On the other hand he feels personally he was humiliated by the leadership; based on my readings, he was shifted from MEA, as leadership desired to have close relations with China. I have called it since Narasimha Rao, Government under Congress has played second fiddle to China. You can assess the differences by comparing and contrasting Indian handling of China and its all weather friend, Pakistan. Hence, if he joins BJP, it might offer him a post of governor. He can, then write his memoirs. He was a Fulbright fellow.

Your Focus on KHAIRLANJI MASSACRE (I&C April) is very sensitively written piece on the contemporary India’s cruel face. It is indeed one of the darkest chapter in India’s contemporary history.                                                                    Dr. Pradeep Patkar, Panvel, Navi Mumbai

KHAIRLANJI- Shame of a Nation (I&C April) is a gripping account of one of the dark episode of modern India where for all these 70 years of free India Dalits have suffered at the hands of upper caste wolves. What happened in Khairlanji is the reflection of a deep routed hatred of caste Hindus towards Dalits, that they should languish at the bottom to remain at the beck and call of these upper caste goons. Dalits shouldn’t dare to improve their lot is the view of this section of Indians, is the saddest commentary on the evolving Indian society. I&C has kept alive the issue of gross injustice to dalits while informing how civil society connived to perpetuate this despicable inhuman and cruel acts of these enemies of civilized society by joining hands with perpetrators of the crime, where even police actively participated. What a fall it was!                       C. Shekar, Mysore

Where are Tolerant Khans (Month-in-Perspective I&C April-2017) These Khans, who make lot of money, have their own agenda, and pretend they have not seen or heard anything.                                                          Chandrashekhar Salian, Via FB

Month-in-Perspective for October 2022

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace. So, the reigning Queen of England left her mortal self to rest in her eternal space. She is no more. Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Indians by and large need not be interested in knowing more of the queen, either as a monarch or as a person of English origin. Our interest is only with reference to India in general and Jalianwala Baag in particular. 13th April 1919 was some 7 years before Queen Elizabeth was even born. It was on that day a crowd of non-violent protestors along with Baisakhi pilgrims had gathered in Jalianwal

Focus for October 2022

EMPOWERING HUMAN POTENTIAL AS A CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY: THE KP RAMASWAMY SAGA Speaking on “A PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT FACE”, as eminent management expert of Yesteryears, Mr. Shanu Rangnakar had observed “Two grabbing hands are all that the private enterprise could present before the people. There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
