Dear Editor,
It rightly implies that a Right-wing Government like the BJP has got a chance to rule on it’s own alone nationally. The Congress, alongwith the Left, has always been ignorant of the natural growth of conservatives’ view point in academic and professional fields.
Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi appointed Leftist leader Nurul Hasan as the Education Minister in the 1970s, and the latter filled the gaps in the intellectual and academic fields with his cronics. He filled in all professional fields with his Leftist-minded thought.
The traditions developed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Rajendra Prasad and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, during the freedom movement about ancient Indian culture (which was called conservative false backward and non-progressive by Leftists) was to be ignored by Indian intellectuals. Conservatives were called ‘Hindi-medium’ people.
