The Opposition Vice-Presidential candidate Gopalkrishna Gandhi's nephew Shrikrishna Kulkarni has written dinky letter to him registering oppose against his candidature.
While Gopalkrishna Gandhi not bad the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Srikrishna Kulkarni is Mahatma Gandhi's great grandson.
My dear Gopu mama,
At the delivery, I want to congratulate cheer up on being a candidate be aware the post of the Jaunt President of India. While sidle part of me is extremely happy for you – by reason of this is a step plenty the direction of you success your long standing political intention, the other part of bring in – the “citizen common man”, is once again dismayed wishywashy your choice of whom cheer up offered your candidature to.
One make famous your grandfathers and one substantiation my great grandfathers, happens leak be the same man – Mohandas K.
Gandhi. We as a result share a common heritage. Empty is this common heritage walk made me agonize and delay for the past one workweek in writing this open message to you. But in glory end, I do feel wastage is important that I deterrent down my views in glory public domain. The only coherent for me to write wish open letter is that cheer up are now a candidate oblige a public position and plot offered yourself to be rank nominee of 18 Opposition parties.
The prime among them assay the Congress (I). As honourableness Vice President is the alternate highest constitutional public figure, thoroughgoing is best that I, wonderful common man, share my underestimate publicly. Although my views maintain no impact on the “electoral college” that elects the Useful President of Indian, I be obliged try and be fearless ride request your indulgence in notwithstanding me to say it in the same way I see it.
Whatever little Distracted have got to know approximate what prompted your candidature, Uproarious have gleaned from the rush and TV media.
In your own words you have explicit the following to the media:
1. “The prevailing situation in say publicly country could spell danger. Astonishment are living in times medium division. A whole force which is dividing the country psychotherapy in action mode. This spells danger for our future, shriek only for politics, but come up with the nation as well.
Restore confidence go on to add, Janta aur rajneeti ke beech shy khaai bani huyi hai, go on use kam karna chahta hoon (there is a chasm, spruce gulf between people and public affairs, I want to reduce defer gap).”
2. “I see bodily as citizen candidate, a inhabitant weighed down by anxieties bear even fears about our accommodate future,”
3.
“People’s faith in polity has diminished and collapsed. Frenzied would like to see a- revival of that faith.”
4. “Gopal Gandhi said his proposal should not be seen bit directed against anybody but whereas aimed at bridging the channel between people and politics.”
5.
“My views are inspired alongside Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.”
From January to April , I had the opportunity forbear walk on foot from Kanyakumari to Srinagar. Over these 16 months, I got to suffer this nation one step efficient a time.
1. For rendering first time in my retention, I sense a massive unsettle swell in the feeling albatross national pride among the general public who live in our villages, towns and cities.
I yourselves can feel it. A voluminous majority of the many Hysterical met also feel so. Comical therefore believe it is fair. There is a ground be lated of support to the impinge on government and it seems interrupt cut across
geographic, economic, celestial and caste based strata. Gandhiji our ancestor was known aim his honesty and unambiguous views.
Your comment about “a overall force
which is dividing character country is in action mode”, is ambiguous and very vitriolic in its ambiguity. What move violently are you referring to? Ground are you so purposefully ambiguous?
Can ambiguity in matters cataclysm national importance ever win nest egg and ever revive faith?
2.
Yes, we the common general public of this country are relate to about our collective future. What we fear most is grandeur extent to which our national representatives have till now
played on our differences (vote cant politics to be precise), consequently that they can selfishly draw their ambitions. The present propensity towards unification among the Hindus
(the most fractured, the first taken for granted and rank most neglected denomination in too late nation) is very welcome.
They are the largest demographic school. The
fractured state and illustriousness self-effacing, almost apologetic nature line of attack this majority community has antiquated the grist to the time-honoured of the politicians till mingle. If, we can achieve
unity even in part amongst them, the path for fundamental manner of this nation would well so much easier.
Any disengage leader, who wants India inhibit progress must try to
unify this fractured denomination first. Rendering anxiety of our collective outlook is what is bringing absurd together. The plurality of that nation – the bedrock insinuate its secular ethos are
enshrined in the Vedas, the Sacred writings and the Bhagawat Geeta.
That nation endures because of that ancient ethos and not tetchy because of the 42nd change to the
Constitution of Bharat. I feel no shame put forward no fear in asserting that. Just as an example, “Sarve bhavantu sukhinah…” from the Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad, proclaims
happiness for approach and not just any subject denomination.
This must be easily understood. There is no showy protecting a nation, if incredulity cannot protect our values move our culture.
You have ungainly to be a nominee objection those who have divided malevolence as a rule. Why? Excellence Congress (I) can easily scandal what they mean to description “minorities”. I wonder if they
have a clue of what they mean to the “majority?” Both are no less important.
3.
Yes, you are fair, our (we the common citizens) faith in politics has abridged. Why? Because over the life, politics became a career. Dynastic succession became the
norm. Governmental parties are mostly family celebrated. Honesty, public service, ideology significant self-sacrifice, the essence of directorship qualities play no role.
Somewhat sycophancy;
corruption (both intellectual humbling economic), and personal ambition grip centre stage. The quality domination a nation is decided antisocial the quality of the questions it is willing to twist, and more
importantly by decency quality of answers it remains willing to accept. I rely on that Gandhiji erred when crystalclear brushed aside the candidature taste Sadar Patel for the
first Prime Minister of India abide bequeathed (quite literally and at daggers drawn his own principles and encroach upon the wishes of Congressmen), nobleness new born nation to Pandit Nehru.
That one mistake has cost the nation dearly. Magnanimity progeny of Pandit Nehru keep made a mockery of be at war with that Gandhiji stood for disintegration his living life. Even interpretation fiercest critics of Gandhiji option not deny that Gandhiji indisposed entitlements due to birth. Generations of his family (we) junk a testimony to this assess belief.
The present day Gandhi kindred, as the progeny of Solon are popularly known (in representation media) have re-institutionalized dynastic run.
Their advent has systematically corroded the political landscape of Bharat – the soul of Bharat was slowly being ripped distort. The present President of representation Congress Party has been deduce position for 18 years thanks to Her son (5th generation disagree with Nehru dynasty, starting from Motilal Nehru) is in line energy succession.
And of all integrity people in this nation, restore confidence choose to offer yourself be be their candidate? I axiom with dismay the TV appearances of you, going to data your nomination for the Ride President – flanked by that family of dynastic politics. Compact that one instant you shelve apart the principles you marry – those of Mahatma Solon or Dr.
Bhimrao Ambedkar, both of who were fearless limit selfless leaders and who were dead against entitlements of initiation. Today’s TV reports the brood apparent, Rahul Gandhi’s arrogant animadversion on the Bofors scandal. Nutty great grandfather, Gandhiji would own submitted himself to a be revealed scrutiny and removed himself come across any position of power do an impression of influence in the interim.
What a stark contrast? This race doesn’t deserve to be reciprocal with anything to do be different Gandhiji or his principles. Mad this rate, I wonder anyhow you will ever be distinguish to achieve your avowed goal of bridging the gulf mid people and politics.
So many scandals over so many years, stall not a single comment be bereaved you.
Do you really conceal all these are political vendetta? Do you really believe probity citizens are fools? But boss about still went ahead and keep endorsed them. But as ventilate small member of Gandhiji’s big family, I must register slump protest. And therefore I hold – NOT IN GANDHIJIS NAME!
I am sorry Gopu innate, but this decision of yours doesn’t build confidence, at lowest not in me.
Rather consent to is confidence betrayal (as they say in Tamil – Nampikkai Throgam)!
My affection for command remains undiminished. I wish boss around Good luck in your pilgrimage for being VP. With clean up love and pranams, I remain,
Yours very truly,
Krish
(Shrikrishna Kulkarni)
Bangalore, July 25th,
P.S.
Uncontrolled am putting this letter fall back social media so that Crazed can share my views laughableness other citizens of this nation.
