Those days have gone when the cry for Indian freedom got aired from far off Myanmar, or the days when each and every Indian glued to the transistors just to have a piece of the valuable information of the war like scenarios on the Eastern frontiers of India, where the Tiger of Bengal, the heart of the Nation was penetrating the British forces. That great man is still remembered, but with the on going politics, the name of the man on the lips of the tainted politician seem a dishonour to him.
May be the Indian Courts have lifted the ban on cigarettes in the silver screens, Netaji was a smoker no doubt. But what seemed so hurting on such a day is that in a general convention to commemorate the day, I heard the local political committee were very relaxed and comfortable airing a popular Hindi number that goes like this: "काल..काल...हम तुम करेंधमाल... " Fault would have been accepted but they left no space for their mistake to get the stamp of बीइंग forgiven as some of them were having a gala time dancing on this famous disco number!
I shall never mention the name of the party, as few people can have the capacity to taint the reputation of the party, but this was really hurting!
Anyways, इन्कुलिअब जिंदाबाद. Netaji अमार रहे!
