[Reader-list] A Modest Appeal to Election Propagandists

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear Jerome

I doubt if there is anything as original point of view. Even Gandhi never
said his ideas were original. He stated he had borrowed his ideas from
people like Tolstoy and even Hindu religion. Nelson Mandela, another great
figure borrowed his ideas from Gandhi, which he acknowledges himself.
Similarly, there are others who state their ideas as actually having heard
them from others.

Therefore, I believe it is not important that views are original. Original
ideas should definitely be appreciated, and if people genuinely believe in
their ideas, irrespective of theirs being genuine or not, they should be
allowed to put them forth and discuss. After all, not all people can be
original, it takes the genius of people like Einstein or some others to
bring about original and innovative ideas.

Don't view people as spokespersons here, neither brand them necessarily as
ideologist.And I apologize on this forum for doing this in the past.

Rakesh
