CRAWLING INTELLIGENTSIA !

Many decades back, BJP leader L.K.Advani sarcastically commented about media during emergency that "when asked to bend,they crawled."The famous comment was apparently made in different content and context,yet prophetic words are very relevant even today not only for a significant section of print and electronic media but for a section of intellectuals too,who prefer to be on the right side of the 'chair' as per their 'convenience'.Probably that explains,how not just the media but intellectuals from various fields such as education,health care,science and technology culture and law

are not just bending but crawling before Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.Just imagine,60 intellectual luminaries included :-

# Ved Prakash, Chairman University Grants Commission.

# Dinesh Singh, Vice Chancellor Delhi University.

# M C Mishra, Director All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

# Tushar Mehta, Additional Solicitor General.

# Naresh Trehan and K K Aggarwal ,Cardiac Surgeons.

# Sonal Mansingh, well known Dancer.

# Anil K Tyagi,Vice Chancellor,GGS Indraprastha University.

# P Venugopal,former Director AIIMS.

# Prakash Singh, former Director General police ,Uttar Pradesh and many many others, who graced the lunch meeting on October 12 at Delhi,with presiding deity of RSS, param adarniya and pojniya ,Mohan Bhagwat.Well,let us believe that some of them  attended much publicized meeting without any vested interests but there are media reports that most of them were 'ingratiating themselves'to the unelected head of various organisations which spawned the party in power -an act unworthy of their official positions or duties  as well as democratic propriety.

The prime position of Sarsanchalak and his political status as 'person at the helm of affairs' has largely contributed for such 'intellectual discourse' which could hardly even be imagined just few months back. It can not be beyond any body's imagination -what is going to be state of affairs if one fine morning ,we come across the the slogan ,Modi is India,India is Modi.Recollect when many decades back Dev Kant Barooah coined the slogan-India is Indira,Indira is India.
