Politics Revolving around the Calendar issued by The Centre for Women’s Development Studies’ 2018
It is really good efforts of CWDS
whereby it is trying to draw attention on remarkable work done by leading
ladies of Indian History.
But the statement made by Manjari
Mehta, GrandDaughter of Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, while sharing her view on
concept of Liberty and Non-discrimination is new low to the intellectual wing
of elite society of India. The referred statement is as under:-
Quote
“These principles are under threat
today. This is a moment so frightening in the life of our country, the moment
when this powerful document is being lost.”
Unquote
Further concluding remark made in the
Article is grossly unjustified which has been deliberately made to char global
image of India.That remark is as under:-
Quote
“At a time when women still do not
have the right to marry of their own free will, those pushing for removing
caste barriers are being laughed at and the killing of Muslims in broad
daylight has somehow become acceptable, the constitution is something that we
must speak of and value now more than ever."
Unquote
It is to be learnt that all
stages/platforms are not meant for gaining political mileage and/or criticising
Govt Administration. Secondly carving an event which is meant to highlight the
contributions and role of the women who helped draft the constitution of free
India and circumventing it as an event to showcase some grey areas already
under criticism of Society is not at all justifiable.
Salute to those women who contributed
to the rich history despite their diverse trajectories in their individual
livies. But we should not forget to condemn people behind this malice hit
narration of the event.
