In a free country its free citizens can marry anyone they like unless it is a case of kidnapping. The environment of hate between communities is being propagated and vested persons are not either able to see it or are deliberately avoiding the issue. The MP of that area was himself partner in a beef project ! Do we have to look at each other as Indians or as Hindus, Muslims, Dalits, Sikhs, Christians etc. That will decide the issue.

Now, the facts clearly show that it was again the Hindu girl and Muslim boy behind this murder which was committed by spreading rumor of beef eating the case is left to a murder and accused get punished according to rule of law. If the writers still do not see the reason it's nothing but politicizing the situation. The opposition is doing its level best to keep the issue in limelight even if they have to bring bad name to their own country. A minister responsible in UP government for keeping law and order has gone to UN to protect Muslims from fundamentalists. what a joke, the question is who will save the slaughter of Hindus from the other party which is a common scene in the area.

The present government was voted on the agenda of development. Since its inception however their agenda seems to be different, one which was not put before the voters. It is the environment of hate and interference in the personal preferences of citizens that is spreading now and leading to the sad killings of innocent citizens and rationalist writers that is taking place, which is being protested by these writers, by returning their awards. It shows a lack of understanding and grace to question their motives and to ask repeatedly, where were they when Sikhs were killed or some particular writer was attacked. The anti Sikh riots were an unfortunate reaction for a short period of time but there was no sustained agenda against them. For strong reactions to develop it takes time to crystalize. It shows height of intolerance that even act of returning awards is intolerable. The govt needs to perform and not be sustained by its supporters on skewed agendas of buried long ago.

It is a clear cut attempt to defame the ruling party led by that government which ruled and ruined the country for twenty long years. When the question what could they achieve arises the protesters know better and they knew it well before their protests that they cannot achieve anything. Because protesting is the right given by the constitution. that's why they tried it once.

True Ramakrishnan, what you said is perfectly true but it does a serious question as to whether these so-0called intellectuals take their own responsibilities seriously since they are almost always waking up to their 'moral responsibility' only when they feel their self-interests are being threatened and not otherwise. I never see or hear Nayantara Sehgal taking a firm stand like she is doing right when writer Perumal Murugun came under attack for his Madhorubhagan and now he has completely taken retirement as a writer. Where was Sehgal then, she too is a writer and could understand Murugan better than anyone else? Why pick now to return her awards?

The so called symbolism is nothing but their irrationality because these people never protested when Sikh riots took place nor when many such events took place , which goes to show their double standards and that they cater to the interest of one political party ..

Actually gone are the days when 'a person was known by the company he keeps". Earlier people used to attached more importance to such issues, but now it is entirely a person's own character and doings that dictate a person's reputation. Of course, the friend circle does play a part in that but only to a certain extent. So if one wanted to make his reputation grow in a positive manner, he or she will have to work towards and not just seek a suitable crowd.,

Like every thing else, there is limit to honesty also. Too much dishonesty also does not work. One has to be pragmatic enough. Dirung course of time, some standards of bribe or 'commission' are fixed. Giving or taking bribe according to such 'standards' is permissible. But if some body is too greedy and demands more, there is trouble. On the other hand,if some body is too honest and will not work according to accepted norms and rates of bribe, he will be an utter falure.
Proverb is right but time is wrong. A person must be honest for yourself. As possible we should be honest.
I remember the movie Satyakam- on total honesty and truth. The total honest man is a great sufferer. He remarks sarcastically- Honesty is not best policy. Honesty is my nature, my dharama.
Honety is great but we donot deserve this. Total honesty is ideal situation but this is bad policy in a society consisting mainly of corrupt or dishonest.
