History is winner’s story, each person has their own view, Jinnah, Nehru, Gandhi, Patel whoever, it is 60yrs gone now, generation that experienced it is easing out, as the generation that was born in it. What are we fighting about?
The great sub continental psyche, a modern day Mahabharata between the cousins, the Brits must be laughing their a*e off. Since we cannot pin point the etiology there is point in cracking our head over it. Its time to move on.
If you notice all the voices that sniffing are voice of ownership and not inclusion.
Think about it carefully the Jinnah or Gandhi we know are a shadowy humans, they are no more flesh and blood, at least to us, shadow has not yet faded out as the generation that has seen, experienced and lived the freedom movement have handed down their direct memory. But to my children these are just name, their concept of Gandhi is the man who inspired Munnabhai.
Lets see, how we can walk the path of inclusion.
May be deleting the religion and caste would go a long way.
More important we need to upgrade ourselves from literacy to education. Not maculae’s but as per our need, hands on practical education.
Enquiring after a person’s religion and caste should be a criminal offense punishable by law.
