M.M. Kalburgi Murder
The other day on 12 September 2015, I
wrote in my blog that celebrated authors, writers, philosophers are returning
their academy awards. Sh. Ashok Vajpayi has returned the money given to him as
award. This dissent of writers has assumed a new height which never happened
before.
Salman Rushdie has also endorsed “these
are alarming times for free expression”, saying “only the Govt. can answer”.
“Booker prize winning writer Salman
Rushdie has expressed concern at the rise of a new ‘thuggish’ violence in Indian
society.” Says, “Mr. Modi is a talkative gentleman and has a lot to say on a
lot of subjects.” It would be very good to hear what he has to say about all
this.
Shashi Deshpande fears we are losing
that “culture of free discourse”.
Raghubir Lal Anand had put a blog on 10
September 2015, condemning the murder of M.M. Kalburgi a scholar who wrote against
idol worship, sorcery and superstitious. I requested all authors of the world
to condemn this.
The culmination is mass return of
academy awards and protest by the eminent writer Salman Rushdie.
What turn these event will take God
alone knows? India is passing though a very critical, complex and horrific time.
Hindu Muslim Unity is need of the hour.
