......Tampering with History....

.....Tampering  with History  is favorite  pastime now....as , thr  is  an  urge  for  rediscovering  facts  &  putting  thm  into  current  lite ....proving  thm wrong  .....the  beliefs....putting  thm  in  the  rt  perspective  is  the  Urge .....The Taj  in the  North India  &  Tipu  in  the  south .....Mughalsarai  Station in the  east ....&  the  List  continues  ....admitting  tht Chroniclers over  Centuries had  various  styles & Motives   on  writing  their  view  points which  they  thought  was suitable....handed  over  to  generations  ,  who  believed it  or  not    ,  lived  with  it  .....21st  Century  India  is different  , with  cutting  edge  technology  ,  re discovering  ,  dissecting old  theories &  beliefs.....Changing the  name  of  an Old  edifice, tampers  History &  the  ethos  surrounding it....snuffs  out  the  Life  within  it   .....Whts  the  fructification of  a  change if  it  lacks the  spirit  &  flavor.....History  Rightly  depicted or  wrongly  portrayed is  again  a  part  of  History....Historical  blunders  , don't  we  say? .....Whn Madras  became Chennai, Bombay  became Mumbai  , Calcutta  became  Kolkata , it  lost  its  old  Colonial name & roots  .....Delhi  of the Raj  is actually  Dehli  of the Mughals & Hastinapur  during  the  Kauravas.....now  which  name  do  we  adopt ...for  Lutyen's Delhi  ...??....admitted  unpleasant  Past  is  to  be  thrown  out  & best  forgotten ....but  whitewashing  the past leads  to  rootlessness......Its  unfortunate,  tht , Political dispensation is  at  wrk in  these  Rethink  &  Redo.....whereas  they  r the least  qualified  formation  to  do  so  keeping in  view  their obvious  leanings  &  Motives .....they  r flawed , as  in democracy the  majority  is  right  nd  the  minority  a  non  entity  ,  as  unfortunately this  is  the  portrayal  of  current  day  politics  ,  with  very  little  Concurrence.....as  Democracy nd  the  Rule  of  majority  is  a necessary  evil , but tht  necessity doesn't warrant  it  to  spk  for  all......here  lies  the  fallacy  of  a Democratic system  as  it  is  being  seen  thru  out  the  world  ....hence  , this  best  be  kept  aside & people accept their  legacy  Rt  or  wrong  ....Its  individual people  who  shud  decide wht  is  wht , nd  not  be  dictated , as enforcing dictation,  for  these  changes  is unethical ,   a  herculean  task  sapping state  energy , which  otherwise  is  much  needed for  other  sectors in Urgency ....Past & History  be  better be  left for people to analyse  in  their  own  lite  &   Wisdom....!!!
