Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

RAM MANDIR SOLUTION


Dear Shri Sri Ravi Sahankarji :

Pranaam

At the outset , I wish you success in your efforts to find an amicable solution to the decades old issue of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya , through a multi-party dialogue among all the stake-holders

Some 4 years back , I had proposed following solution and , over these 4 years , I have continued to send my proposal to many thinkers / politicians / religious leaders

And , since ALL the concerned parties have publicly announced that they will accept whatever the Supreme Court decides in the matter ( - most possibly because of their realizing that an out-of-court settlement is highly unlikely ) , I have also sent my suggestion to the Supreme Court

I urge you to consider my proposal and , if you consider that it is in the nature of “ Give and Take “ , request you to share it with all the concerned parties



With Regards,

Reach - Out Time ?




Narendra Modi claims that the Muslims of Gujarat have buried the ghost of Godhra and a great majority of them voted for BJP in the recent State election


There have been many communal ( anti-minority or anti-majority ) riots in most of the States of India since independence


It does not serve any purpose to keep doing post-mortem , again and again


It is obvious that the new generation ( including the descendents of the victims ) want to close the chapter and move on to a better / peaceful life


If , development of Muslims brought about a harmonious communal relations in Gujarat , surely it could be replicated on a national scale , all over the country


Narendra Modi has a fantastic opportunity to drive across this message by incorporating the following ACTIONS in BJP’s 2014 Election Manifesto :



Ø  Resettling of riot victims ( belonging to any community and residing in any state ) , in Government-built houses , within one year of coming to power


Ø  Simultaneous dismantling of , so-called “ Minority Ghettos “ , thru dispersal of minorities throughout the cities , for better integration within a city’s majority population


Ø  Granting Cabinet Minister status to the Chiefs of Minority Commission / Women’s Commission / Human Rights Commission


Ø  Providing for greater representation in the Central Cabinet to the people of the North-Eastern States and the Naxal affected areas

Ø   
Ø  Up gradation of the educational institutions belonging to the minorities


Ø  Greater representation to Minority Youth in “ Skills Development Program “ under NSDC




Ø  At the disputed Ayodhya site , creation of a “ World Peace Complex “ comprising of :


·         Ram Temple    ( for Hindus )


·         Mosque          ( for Muslims )


·         Church          ( for Christians )


·         Temple          ( for Buddhists )


·         Synagogue     ( for Jews  )


·         Akshar-Dham  ( for Jains )


*        
Gurudwara     (  for  Shikhs  )



·         University for Comparative Studies of World Religions



·         Hospitals ( like Netralaya / Hridayalaya )



·         India Heritage / History Museum



·         Business Convention-cum-Industry Exhibition Centre


·       *        Tourist Complex
      


·              And right in the center of the complex , a giant statue of the “ Father of the Nation “



I invite readers to add to this list


Even if for all the wrong reasons [ viz; 2014 Elections ], let BJP not miss this opportunity to initiate steps for integration of the minorities into the mainstream of political / economical / social development of our country


It is about time to exhibit , BJP’s  truly “ Secular “ nature ( non-UPA  variety ? )


It is time to stop mere Congress-bashing ( with which , people are fed-up ) and promise some genuine positive actions to the minorities


And of all the leaders of BJP , who is better placed for such “ Pro-Activism “ than Narendrabhai ?


Carpe Diem ( Seize the Day ! )
