[Reader-list] Remembering Dr B.R.Ambedkar

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Well, Rakesh,
you have your perceptions and I have mine, but the fact of the matter is
after 1947, majority of indians were doormats for the ruling party, as the
divide and rule was the manthra to rule, with individuals like VK Krishna
menon, left in the Congress making the defence forces ill prepared for any
eventuality,rioters being rewarded to be MLAs and MPs if they were from
"minority" and guilty rioters went on to become powerful leaders,segment of
society who were known as hindus were divided lots of minority, with their
birth denominations, and at every incident of riot, others left it that
caste to retaliate,which always ended in losing proposal, when compared to
followers of other faiths of friday prayers or sunday masses.Advani made an
effort to unify the divided lot using the faith, but failed to go ahead,
when in power, lack of administrative experience saw advani fumble with
Ayodhya, could have solved issue like a sardar patel, but power left him
dozing on the chair,otherwise a simple title suit for property would not
have become a volcano to erupt for elections to garner votes.Ram Shilanyas
should have been fecilitated to get back the purchased land of 37 acres,
which is now in judicial process and custody, which has nothing illegal
about it, as it was purchased with public donations,and it should be apt to
rethink of the Vivekananda shilanyas which was completed in more demanding ,
hostile conditions albeit of nature at Kanya Kumari.
As to the present, well, I am optimist with long sight, expect young
generation to understand history, forgive the past mistakes, live with peace
and harmony, but not forget the history.
regards,
rajen.
