U r right. All these acts are meant to impress the gullible and are driven by a calculated publicity motive. I can't see Rahul having a genuine concern about the less unfortunate in the country. He has never come across as a socially conscious person in any of his views or pronouncements so far. That goes for the entire family too. Some clever advisor is working overtime to checkmate Mayavati. As a politician, she is quite astute and Rahul is no match for her. Rahul's advantage is of course his birth and nation-wide visibility.Veer Savarkar is an unsung hero of the freedom movement. The Andaman jail where he was put in solitary consignment will send shivers up the spine of any brave hearted. He did not get there because he wanted the PM's gaddi or had his sights set on some Ministerial post. People who would be the first to take to heels were such a sacrifice to be called for in politics today, call him names today only because he happened to support the Hindu cause. Perverted, warped intellectual atmosphere prevails today where charlatans rule the roost.
