Sir,
The televising of Anand Patwardhan’s documentary, ‘Ram ke Nam’, last Sunday (2/3) , on national television, under court orders, goes to prove how effective and powerful is the subjugation and subversion of the nation by a small percentage of well organised, well funded and highly motivated minority. The rise of BJP and the Sangh Parivar blitz is a direct result of the failure of Congress leadership to grasp the challenges that our multi-polar, multi-ethnic society faces, once the binding force of the central unity is dissipated by the corrosion of corruption and top-heavy elitist governance. The unbridled sycophancy had completed the rot.
In their brute lunge for power, L K Advani and company sacrificed all notions of legality and propriety, justice and fairplay. Muslims were just a convenient scapegoat. The alternative offered, is itself so burdened with injustices, dangers of totalitarian undemocratic governance and its historical anti-people ethos, that it cannot long suppress the people’s longing for the second liberation.
