Well Said! every word in the article anguishes me. I was 8 or 9 years in 1971 but I still remember the battles. These men and women you have mentioned have seen it in the prime of their youth. Maybe with the talks going on with the Pakis; they might have thought it not prudent to attend this Great Man's funeral. What a shame and what hypocracy! I cannot say enough to condemn their absence.
However it is people like us who should echo our sentiments and pass on messages;men of power have their own exigencies.Please do visit his place of memorial the next time you visit Ooty and make his legend live on in that Hill Station - a place that has become too commercialised nowadays .
