Can someone give him unbiased advice (Worst vice!) as to how to show intolerance to injustice?<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />VAS Nov 9<br />Intolerance....<br /> We all tolerate,corruption,rape,molestation...but not casteism or religionism!!!..<br /> More than 70 to 80 crore poor Indian people don't even know about the return of awards!!!..<br /> Better not to waste our time on this small issue.They have the right/ freedom to do what they want & we can't question.<br /> Let us focus & raise our voice on major issues like black money,corruption,rape etc.<br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />KGRD Nov 9<br />Dear TK, The following was my response in Times of India who published my comments too, in response to their news "Top scientist Bhargava to return Padma Bhushan to protest science and reason ‘being eroded in the country"<br /><br />This is a meaningless act. After enjoying the dignity of getting the prestigious award and being in that elated mode for a couple of years, when these feelings of greatness is no more active.....all these awardees are returning the award. If they refused to. accept the award itself that could be really a big sacrifice. or instead, they can throw away their hard earned money of say 5 to 10 lakh in crowded locality for public consumption it will be more meaningful protest. Now they are only surrendering dead stuff..old awards....a childish affairs<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />via verdurezTribhawan Kaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087247132161171107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477761471463253441.post-79639879116365996242015-11-10T21:38:39.189-08:002015-11-10T21:38:39.189-08:00Dear Robina. Intolerance breeds intolerance. This ...Dear Robina. Intolerance breeds intolerance. This is game being played by vested interests by successive Govts. and Institutions of different hues since partition. One gets recognised for his/her work by the people first and later the Govt. comes into the picture. People seek awards too to get recognisedin public. You are right likes of kabir, ravidass, premchand never sought any award for their work yet people all around have recognised their work.<br />Fringe fanatic elements from all walks of life do disturb us mentally but can not help it. Every Govt. is to be blamed including the present one. Karnatka incident of yesterday is one such incident where State Govt. is not going to take any action as the dead man was from majority community and the perpetrators were from different community. Intolerance begins here.<br /><br />via verdurezTribhawan Kaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087247132161171107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477761471463253441.post-31497056888933267332015-11-10T21:37:39.560-08:002015-11-10T21:37:39.560-08:00RGupta Nov 8

Thanks for being the sane voice....RGupta Nov 8<br />Hari<br />Thanks for being the sane voice. Gandhi said "Religion is a personal matter. It ought not to affect the political field". Unfortunately that's what we are doing. Anyone who says or utters otherwise becomes anti national.<br /><br />I felt a tinge of sadness when the government termed scientists who returned their awards as juvenile and anti national. These men and women have nurtured institutions we all Indians should be proud of. To work in India amidst the Indian way of doing things is not easy. These guys didn't become great because they got government recognition. They were anyway doing great original work and they were recognized and respected by their peer group. <br /><br />Recently in Bombay, supporters of BJP were hurling abuses at poet lyricist GULZAR under the assumption that he was not Hindu. Once they got to know he is Hindu, the tonality changed. Why the abuses? Because he spoke about intolerance. Or like Prof Romila Thapar she refused Padma award offered twice to her both by NDA and Congress government. Saying she doesn't accept state awards. She has commented on what's been happening. Where do we put her? Double anti-national? Supporter of some other third front.<br /><br />Poets like Munnawar Rana would still be great whether he government recognized his words. I don't think Kabir got any government recognition during his time. We still dip into poetry. <br /><br />Munnawar Rana said it well शेर का ताल्लुक ना हुकूमत से होता है ना तारीख से होता है-. (Lion is neither connected with the ruling government nor is concerned with good or bad times.)<br />Tribhawan Kaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087247132161171107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477761471463253441.post-23896183697251097562015-11-10T21:33:47.996-08:002015-11-10T21:33:47.996-08:00Dear Hari No one becomes pro while discussing issu...Dear Hari No one becomes pro while discussing issues which are making headlines. Every one has a right to protest to in any way they like. My moot question was that the honour bestowed by the people at the highest level through their President should not be dishonoured whether it is for bravery in battle field or for sterling work in any other field. I am not talking about sundry odd awards given at every level by tom-dick and harry. However no one has returned those awards( Param Veer Chakra, etc) which are accompanied by the perks it attracts except one or two civilian awardees and those are found to be the congress stooges.Tribhawan Kaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087247132161171107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477761471463253441.post-77142774814360746152015-11-09T08:15:42.052-08:002015-11-09T08:15:42.052-08:00Hari1941 Nov 7
First of all it will not be fair to...<br />Hari1941 Nov 7<br />First of all it will not be fair to say that why the awards were not returned when much more serious things happened in the past. The implication is that the awardees did not want to annoy their 'aakas' (bosses). May be. But it does not mean that it should not happen now. There is no fixed time for a beginning. Intolerance of any type must be opposed.<br /><br />Secondly, saying that returning the awards is insulting the Constitution is also not fair. So many army men returned their awards during OROP agitation. It was not termed as insulting the nation or Constitution. <br /><br />Thirdly, this is not the first time that awards have been returned. Tagore did it. It was not termed as insulting the Noble Committee.<br /><br />Fourthly, it is being said that there are various other modes of protest meaning thereby, the protests have some weight. No one has the right to suggest to act in a certain way to protest. People have the right to protest the way they want.<br /><br />Fifthly, it can not be denied that there have been some serious attempts to disrupt the social fabric of the country by some one close to the ruling dispensation. They cannot get away by saying that they are just fringe elements or loud mouths. These are people in responsible positions and should be reigned in but politics being a dirty game, who will do that?<br /><br />I am not pro anybody. <br /><br />via verdurezTribhawan Kaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087247132161171107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477761471463253441.post-1417214016502573352015-11-09T08:14:32.223-08:002015-11-09T08:14:32.223-08:00vijayan006 Nov 7

They dont mind throwing away their honours, if a national interest can be protected by such revolt projecting their attitude(real or false who knows) that personal gain is least important than national interests.<br />But, if this is a genuine concern, originated from individual by feeling deeply, we may give some merit. But this is simply politically motivated by a few with vestred interest to create disturbance and others just blindly follow like flock of sheep, which is utterly stupid. <br /><br />via verdurezTribhawan Kaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087247132161171107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477761471463253441.post-36756545473796446532015-11-09T08:13:02.688-08:002015-11-09T08:13:02.688-08:00Babu Nov 7
