Brighter side of Haryana society
In his article "Spiritual crisis in Haryana society" (Dec 11) Mr D.R. Choudhary has depicted only the dark side of Haryana society. He should have better called it "Chautala's Police Raj". The Kandala (Jind) and Dulina (Jhajjar) episodes have nothing to do with the "spirituality crisis” in Haryana society which has its oceanic majesty with a rich cultural heritage and a potential bright future of economic prosperity, caste harmony and a world vision.
Mr Choudhary did not mention the "Gita", the Yodhai republic, Hersha's serve khap panchayat, traditional gram sabha, heroic deeds of Rao Tula Ram of Rampura (Rewari), Raja Nahar Singh of Ballabgrh, and Nawab Abdul Rehman of Jhajjar, the heros of the First War of Independence of 1857. He even ignored legendary Kisan leaders like Sir Chhotu Ram and reputed freedom fighters like Pt Sri Ram Sharma and Pt Neki Ram Sharma.
Ramayana and Mahabharat are the popular epics in Haryana. Haryana people are sensitive, chivalrous, patriotic, peace-loving, disciplined, law-abiding and morally vibrant. They lack the dynamic and dedicated leadership of Sir Chhotu Ram type. They are fed up with all the present political parties working in Haryana. The past Dharitrashtras have gone, the modern Dharitrashtras will also go unsung and unwept. The Haryana peasantry is still intact and will assert itself again. Haryana youth are morally and physically sound.
Will Mr Om Prakash Chautala pacify the angry kisan and unemployed youth and cleanse the administration? Will intellectuals go to the people and inspire them for an action-oriented leadership which they deserve?
