INSTEAD OF REMOVING IT THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT SEPARATELY!
by Kabeer on Dec 11, 2007 04:56 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

By removing it they have also suppressed his misdeeds from the publics perception.

Instead of removing it altogether, they should have kept is separated from others with a breif description of his gory deeds! Only when people understand how valuable is the freedom that they are enjoying they value it better and try to preserve it.

By removing it they are also not making the public know how many people have sacrificed their lives for the sub-continents freedom! It is a foolish act! Passion over riding logic and sense!

Just because I am from Undivided India, some people are reporting abuse my posts and Rediff is hiding them!

Alas!

Try to appreciate and judge what was said than who said!

This reporting abuse is a bit hype and direct hitting below the belt on "freedom of expression". Should be discuss further.

Kabeer is very right in saying that; reminding us of those days. The approach should be to remember the events always instead of making it "out of sight, out of mind".

I want all of you to remember each bit of Mumbai Local explosions, Mecca masjid explosions, Delhi (Diwali) explosions, Mumbai serial bomb blasts, riots 1993, J&K (since 1989-90) including all the terrible events since 1947

Absolutely spot on Kabeer. Its important to constantly remind future generations at what cost the freedom they enjoy was achieved and blood shed by unsung heroes of Indian freedom. His picture would be a grim reminder of the atrocities commited during the British Raj and it forms an integral part of our history.

One more thing Kabeer looking at some of your responses from earlier in the day, no religion preaches evil. There are only good and bad people everywhere irrespective of caste, colour or creed...You will always find people who have a difference of opinion...you need not bother

i'm not sure why this is in 'the Sikh museum of the Golden Temple in Amritsar'... does this museum also cater for political events... if so then why not include other political events in India ?
