On 3 rd morning i clicked on good on Arvind neelakantan 's article on the on going fracas over Wendy D's book pulping after a hurried reading of the article.
Clicking is a very small matter,yet after having burnt my fingers in the minefield of this net , that hasty clicking kept needling me, so next day i read it patiently and found the answer .It is a political article , that betrays the apprehension of the author that the furore over the book pulping may paint right wing parties whose chances are bright in the upcoming elections as unpalatable fascist, conservative , illiberal etc to the world by pointing out that when bjp was in power it never banned any book even if such books were insensitive to Hindu sentiments whilst Cong had banned several books films etc mainly to please their vote bank --minorities.
So i went through the petition against the said author and her book which he had said will not hold good in court..
I will never read that 800 pgs book when i have real and genuine books, treatises, hymns , on Hinduism written by scores of ancient scholars, poets and saints in Sanskrit and Tamil to quench my thirst on Hinduism and went through the petition only to find out as to what was bothering the petitioner..
Actually the petition is fine.Since there are provisions in the law against hurting religious sentiments the petitioner has made out his case fairly well .
I also went through some articles and found that the historical facts stated in the said book are not correct.Having studied history honours i know that the 'Bhakthi movement that encompasses both Saivaites and vaishnavaites --'in India started way back in 5 the century AD and not in medieval period.In fact i have translated several devotional or Bakthi hymns in Tamil of vaishnavaite saints belonging to 5 the century AD and onwards till 9 th cent AD in my earlier blog Sujataism as well as in this blog.Thirupavai -the evidence and the result of Bhakthi movt belongs to 9 th cent Ad.The dates i have been taught at college have all been arrived at in scientific manner viz carbon dating, archaeological evidences as well as from contemporaneous literary works with established dates.
By clicking in a hurry i have endorsed net article's author fear [for him genuine from his political point of view]which sort of mirrors my own need to clarify my own position in my open letter to Modi fans.That of the tenacity of the unseen Hand to throw as many hurdles as possible through what ever means [ i am one such] in what it is seeing as a unstoppable race to the first place by the star athlete in its rival camp.
Dogs bark when caravans pass.
