Jaswant singh’s book- Arises some real question

India is a democratic country, we have freedom to speech- how concietely we pronounce this when it comes to our comparison with China, because we could hardly compete with them in economic and social welfare perspective. So democracy is our undefeated shield against them. But in reality, do we really practice democracy in our country. Recent hue and cry of BJP over Jaswant Singh’s much publisized book, “Jinnah: India-Partition-Independence” unravels the zero tolerance of our political parties, who claims to be the guard of democracy. Party’s political committee suspended him from the party membership just for writing a book. This evidence shows that how fragile and immature our democracy and political systems are. Jaswant Singh was expelled on the ground of violating and contradicting party’s ideology. The real question arises that how many member of BJP’s committte have read the book to draw the conclusion. I am 100% sure none of them must have read it, because its very difficult for busy person like them to finish a book with more than 600 pages in 2 days (book released on monday and party expelled him on wednesday). My point is not to support or contradict Jaswant singh’s view. But my point is whats wrong in knowing the different view of different person and discuss them in true democratic spirit. why we fear discussion? Every time when a writer comes with some contradictory view, let it be Sulman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin or Jaswant Singh, our so called mesiah of democracy start thier so called democratic action like banning the book, burning the effigy of author, burning the book copies,author’s house and so on. Why it agitate us every time when some body take cudgel against our venerable personality like Sivaji, Sardar Patel, Ambedkar etc. Even i venerate those people but that doesn’t mean we can enforse all people to do so. No person in this world is perfect and without flaw. some person might look on different side these person, which can have some darkness. So whats wrong in knowing about their view. Even god is critisized and hated by many people, and some times they even have valid point in thier criticism. So let them criticise and say thier point, its upon the people to decide whether they are correct or not. Why these political parties think that people of india are fool, and anybody can mislead us by just writing a book or making a movie. We all are wise enough to construct our opinion. You dont need to vandalise on the name of us. Lets all of us denounce these so called guard of democracy and let flow any kind of ideas in this country, because only this will make our country vibrant and colourful.
