These days a few things came up very rapidly in front of entire nation and posed some important questions which should better be answered sooner than later to keep the nation alive. One of them is "Cartoons in textbook" of 11th class NCERT book on Political Science printed some six year back. The entire parliament without any exception (!) opposed the Shankar's Cartoon of 1949 cited it as defamation of Dr Ambedkar. The HRD minister who came up with some brilliant innovations (?) in education system took no time to apologise for the publication and instantly announced to withdraw the textbook. The two members of text book advisory committee resigned immediately, perhaps under pressure as Shri YogendraYadav still finds no issue in the cartoon, Shri Palshikar has been attacked over. The Parliament condemned another cartoon indicating politics is being adopted to make money. The intellectual fraternity is still silent over this issue barring a few exceptions (Nakkarkhane me tuti ki awaz). This incident is surrounded by two important thing one is 60 years of Parliamernt and other 100th birth annivrsary of Saadat Hasan Monto, the outcasted writer.
I think the issues started from the point when Anna Hazaare's movment against corruption caught the imagination of millions and in turn 'The Parliament' ought to make an appeal to him, an outsider. The political class took it as an self committed insult which was done to halt further damage. It has been made amply clear very soon during discussions in Parliament over 'Lokpal Bill', which has been torn to pieces around midnight. Our 'Tryst with destiny', 'Emergency' and above incident all took place at midnight, is it irony or merely co-incidence.
What appears is that the politicians are all set for vandetta of an 'self inflicted' insult by censoring google, facebook and now cartoons. I am expecting a ban on a TV Programme "Satyameva Jayate" very soon as it is presenting issues of social interest which often put our political class in embarrassing situation however they are foolproof against any kind of embarassment.
The days are not faraway dear political leaders when the people get ready to oppose the system which has been rottened by you. Beware!
