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

As you said these organisers of bandh should have totally ignored these worthless Sauharda mela and its organisers!!                                               Pnm Ramprasad, Via FB 

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

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...
