Advani\\\' s comments : Jinnnha , Gandhi ,Congress Politics
by Dr . Shashi Damle on Jun 16, 2005 02:26 PM   Permalink

Basically I agree with Sai\'s analysis/comments.
Change is essense of life.And like a bee one should look for the honey and not the distasteful odour of a flower. However the historical record should be honestly recalled. In this connection ,I submit that the support by Congress under M.K.Gandhi,to the KHILAFAT Movement essentially brougth in Islam and Mulla,Moulawis in Politics. It may be recalled that Mr.Jinnha opposed Congress support for Khilafat Movement in Nagpur Congress.Mr.M.K.Gandhi was keen to marginalise Modernist,Nationalist Jinnha.
21st century is surly different. Revolutions in Tele communications,Computers --Software & Hardware and IT, Internet, Biotech & WTO have to be factored in while framing future policy frame work. Let us face it - for the last 58 years Pakistan has survived as a an independent nation except for its partition (on Cultural grounds)and creation of Bangala Desh in 1971.It is keen to maitain its Territorial Integrity. It has Nuclear Arms.So it is quite apt to remind Pakistan purpose of its existence and its programme as envisaged by Late Mr.Jinnah in August 1947.It so happens that this was done by visiting Indian Politician Shri Advani.
