A Call to dis-Honour

Oh, what an expulsion, quite in sync with his earlier book "A Call to Honour". The poster boy of Vajpayee-led NDA regime who had a great equation with Condy Rice, the then US Secretary of State, and had thus credited with giving a new dimension to Indo-US relationship, was sacked on a phone call by none other than Rajnath Singh, his much-junior party president who happens to act like more like a trader than a politician. His fault was he wrote on Jinnah, a straight defiance to the Sangh Parivar ideology. It reminds me of the day when Deepa Mehta's "Water" was banned for showing something that was treated a "taboo" till then. I am equally grieved for treating book writing a "taboo" even in 2009. Forget about BJP, I don't know in which way we are heading!! Why some people who use to boast of Hindutwa can't even understand the essence of Sanatana Dharma!! In a larger screen, for how long, we will continue with divisive politics!! As a political forum, when we'll try to listen to the mandate and correct ourselves!! Why can't people who matter can't understand that the essence of Power lies in knowing the limits of Power!! Why can't the Party With A Difference sit down and listen to the great song written by its great worrier: "Har nahi manunga, rar nahi thanunga, Kal ke kapal par likhta, mitata hun, Geet naya gata hun, geet naya gata hun."
