*** Ms.
Arundhati Roy and Tsunami on her Gandhi speech ...
Some
days before I was attending the function of Ms. Arundhati Roy’s public talk on
“Prospect of peace in Post –Poll policy” organized by India Peace Centre at
Shalon Hall, Hislop College Nagpur. In her speech, she said, “Upcoming
government must make structural changes to hear public voice. Merely holding
elections once in a five years and then forgetting will of the people and their
interest is not democracy. According to her while describing elections as just
as instrument which helps to elect democratic government. She warned the
audience about over reaching of corporate world and how the ideas and
personalities are being projected by media which is controlled by major
corporate houses and business families. Right now the industries and corporate
want hard state to further their agenda of mining, SEZ, big projects and for
that they have channelized their energy by supporting pro-capitalist forces and
denouncing all dissenting the audience.”
In her
talk, she made a controversial comment on Mahatma Gandhi. She said that the
history books which we refer to are not completely correct. The tour of
Mohandas Gandhi to South Africa was sponsored by Birla at that time but it was
not written anywhere in books. She also spoke about disproportionate publicity
granted to Gandhi and his projection by pro-capitalists’ forces. She said, I am
very surprised that who feliciatated him as “Mahatma”. Talking about the
Minorities in the country, she said that we have reservation system here but
still Dalit, Adivasi and other minorities are struggling to get fair treatment
from upper caste. Similarly, the justice dispensation system in our country is
also very slow and unsatisfactory than other country and without justice we
cannot maintain peace.
During
the talk, I asked a question to Ms. Arundhati that, “Have you any plan to
maintain peace in India!” she replied “No.” But her Gandhi’s comment seemed
very controversial for the Gandhi’s followers. They asked different question to
Ms. Arundhati and she replied with the evidences of Gandhi’s literature. After
that, these Gandhians found to be mum. On second day, they commented on Ms.
Arundhati in daily news papers for showing their broad knowledge of Gandhi-ism.
If these Gandhi followers are ready, they can call a big function and to invite
her and other anti- Gandhist intellectuals. Let us make the surgery of Gandhi
and his movement, ideas & philosophy. They better know that, Mr. Gandhi
definitely seem to be naked.
Now,
the thoughts of Ms. Arundhati Roy seem too changed. Her study on Dr Ambedkar’s Witten book
“Annihilation of Caste” is wonderful. And Dr. Ambedkar’s last dream was “Ideal
Man, Ideal Society.” It is why Dr Ambedkar accepted Buddhism and expects the
“Buddhist India.” Ms Arundhati is still
totally not accepted the peace ideology. She is attracted with revolutionary
thinking. I expect from her that she must take charge of mission Buddha for
global peace.
At last, if she supports our
mission “Nationalism or India-ism,” it will be very helpful for strong
India. Our mission is to create feelings
of India-ism. Our motto is to build strong India. Our motto is to respect our
“Indian Constitution.” Our mission is to
convey the people for hanging the copy of preamble of Indian constitution in
their home. One more our issue is to work for building the “Nation” and not the
“Country.”
