No respect for Netaji?

[Believer]

This is shameful....

Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy on Sunday criticised the political leadership of the country for failing to show due respect to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and said it is “time this is corrected”.

“We have not paid due respect to Netaji. It is time this is corrected,”enterpreneur-cum-thinker Murthy said here. Delivering the Netaji oration on the occasion of his birth anniversary at the Netaji Research Bureau, Murthy said, “I was shocked to learn that there is not single a major avenue named after Netaji in Delhi. I hope our wonderful PM will correct this lacuna.” Describing Netaji as the most courageous leader of his time, Murthy said that his presence would have spearheaded India to become the second most powerful economy of the world ahead of China.

Yes, no roads, buildings except in Bengal (but with misplaced understanding and unfounded frenzy), no holidays, no special TV programs, no news even. The Kangress govt has ensured that the one brave senior leader of Indian freedom movement is conviniently forgotten.

This govt. doesn't even have the backbone to raise the national flag in Srinagar, when that whole state is basically surviving (actually thriving, it lists high on dev index among indian states!!) on the taxpayers money from rest of India. Paying respect to Netaji's brave thoughts as opposed to Gandhian prejudice is too much to expect from these invertibrates.

But at lease they could have carried on with the usual "idol" worship of Netaji, completely and utterly ignoring his ideology - nobody would have objected, after all that's what we are known for.

Subhash Chander Bose was born in General Brahmin clan, and so dose most of the freedom fighters, respecting them means vote bank trouble for politicians.
