AAP workers should be made Special Officers
It seems to me that the biggest problem for Kejriwal now is not how to
solve the problems of Delhi but how to control the hundreds of thousands
of unruly white capped AAP workers, who are spread all over Delhi, and
who all now claim to be its kings. Like the hundreds of thousands of
stormtroopers ( S.A.) who helped Hitler come to power in January 1933,
and then demanded their pound of flesh, the AAP stormtroopers will
naturally demand the same, in some form or the other.
Hitler of course solved the problem by bumping of Ernst Roehm and the
other top leadership of the S.A. in the ' Night of the Long Knives ',
but poor Kejriwal can hardly do the same.
Most of the lumpen
elements in Delhi ( and there are hundreds of thousands of them ) now
seem to have joined AAP. They shift their loyalties quickly to whichever
party comes to power.
In this situation I have a suggestion to
make to Kejriwal : he should appoint all AAP workers as Honorary Special
officers of Delhi.
These ' Special Officers ' need not be paid
anything by the government. But they should be given the power to
realize from the people of Delhi as much as they require, by whatever
means they think best.

Bharat Ratna awards ---Markandey Katju

Bharat Ratna awards
The media are full of the award of Bharat Ratna to Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya and Atal Behari Vajpayi. Many people have applauded it.
I regret I cannot join in this adulation. In my opinion neither of them deserved the award.
What was there so great about Vajpayee ? And what was there in Malviya ? It is said that he set up the Benaras Hindu University. But how can a University be Hindu or Muslim ? A University is something universal. In fact setting up Aligarh Muslim University and Benares Hindu University was part of the British policy of divide and rule.
The persons who in my opinion should be awarded Bharat Ratna are :
(1) Mirza Ghalib
When I first spoke of this some people said : why not to Gautam Buddha and Ashoka ? My answer is : Ghalib is modern, not ancient or medeival, and he has taken literature to the highest pinnacle. Also, posthumous awards have frequently been given, e.g. to Dr. Ambedkar and Sardar Patel.
(2) Dr. Dwarkanath Kotnis, for his outstanding sacrifice to help the Chinese people when they were fighting the Japanese invaders. This brought laurels to India, showing that we are not a people concerned only about ourselves, but also think of the welfare of other nations
(3) Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya, for his powerful attack against the caste system and womens' oppression in his stories and novels
(4) Subramania Bharti, for his nationalism and powerful support for womens' emancipation in his poetry
(5) P. Sainath, for his courageous journalism, exposing the truth of the social and economic realities in India, e.g. farmers suicides.
But who cares for my opinion ?
