Idol Worshipping in India!!!
Voltaire said: “To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth”.
It may sound somewhat harsh but it is true. Recently the Congress party said that to question the involvement of Rajiv Gandhi in the case of Warren Anderson’s escape from India, is "UNPATRIOTIC". Wow!! The chutzpah is breathtaking. But it is not surprising. This is the same cult, which said that India is Indira and Indira is India. This is (use your own expletive)!!! No mortal is bigger than the nation. NO ONE!!!!
In the US the Republican Party tries to gloss over any sins of Ronald Reagan and the Democrats do the same for JFK. Both the men had their moments but were far from perfect. The US media and the American people have never stopped questioning the decisions made by these guys and others. Americans are taught to question everything. Indians are taught to blindly follow. We are sheep. That is why we get slaughtered.
In the light of the Rajiv Gandhi statement and recently released book on Gandhi by a Brit have forced me to do something that is rarely done in India which is question the judgment and the actions of our leaders who have been given titles like Father of the Nation and Chachajee etc. by people who benefit from their idol worship. I say, it is time to talk freely about the mistakes of these so-called great leaders.
We all know that Nehru ran to the UN to resolve the newly cropped up J&K issue. We are paying for his sins to date and our kids will continue to pay for his pusillanimity. I came across a rare interview on the topic of the two-nation concept, The interviewer is Yuvaraj Karan, a former IAS Officer and the interviewee is Nehru.
