Trust the Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate to put his foot in his mouth and display his abject ignorance of our history times without end as has become his wont and patent......
In his latest gaffe, Shri Narendra Modi once again conveniently manipulated the history of our freedom struggle to conveniently suit his chequered view or then knowledge of our glorious history and sent Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev to the cellular jail (Kaala Paani) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands; while the fact of the matter is that Veer Savarkar and not the three above mentioned notables spent a considerable period of time there in glorious isolation........
History has it that Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his comrades and arms were incarcerated in various jails in and around the national capital Delhi after their arrest on April 8,1929, they were then sent to the Mianwali jail and finally hanged in the Lahore Central Prison after the due completion of a farcical trial in March 1931.........
Shri Modi committed this faux pas (if one can call it that) while enunciating his vision of India 2022: India after 75 years of independence at the inaugural function of "E-Nagar" in the Gujarat capital of Gandhinagar on Wednesday........
Recalling the invaluable contributions of the young and committed revolutionaries who laid down their lives in the cause of the nation with a smile on their lips, Modi went on to repeatedly claim and reiterate the dubious fact that Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev had spent a considerable period of their rather short lives incarcerated in the cellular jail in the Andaman and Nicobar islands.........
"The merest mention of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his comrades makes my hair stand on end, why did these young men embrace the gallows, why did they spend years together in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands????The freedom that they selflessly laid down their lives for should be resplendent in it's glory in it's 75th year", Modi said during the course of his public address........
One ,may do well to recall the fact that this is not the first instance wherein Modi has put his foot in his mouth and committed a historical blunder of Himalayan proportions; speaking at a public function in Kheda last year Modi castigated the Congress party for it's failure to recover the ashes of the Jan Sangh's founder Shyama Prasad Mookherjee from Switzerland........
What Modi conveniently forgot to mention is the fact that he had once again manipulated India's history in his convoluted style and the figure he was referring to was freedom fighter Shyamaji Krishan Varma and not the founder of his party's predecessor the Jan Sangh.........
Can we take the considerable risk of entrusting the reins of this country in the hands of a man who is an ignoramus and shows a remarkable penchant for placing historical icons in the wrong place at the wrong time or then does our glorious motherland indeed deserve better and more informed prime ministerial candidates who are well versed with both our cultural as well as political history??????....
Well, I leave the answer to your considerable wisdom in the fond hope that you will indeed take the right decision at the right time...........
