Sunil Sethi: Why we can't remember dates
Everyone with a reasonable memory remembers 26/11, but how many can instantly recall 31/10, 21/5 or 6/12? Those were equally shattering dates in the nation’s political calendar that led to convulsive bloodletting, grief and trauma. They are the dates when Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were assassinated and the Babri Masjid was demolished. Public memory is notoriously short, but unless personally affected by tragedy, catastrophic moments lie chiefly in the province of chroniclers of history. There are thousands of others who perished in other recent calamities, natural or man-made — terrorist strikes, Naxalite encounters, floods, earthquakes and rail accidents — but can anyone precisely recall when?

Business Standard / New Delhi January 19, 2010, 0:34 IST Former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu, who died on Sunday at the ripe age of 95, was a communist party apparatchik and a bhadralok gentleman. Very Bengali and very English, a trade union leader and a liberal democrat, an indulgent father and a tough party soldier. He was a bundle of contradictions and that is why he endeared himself to so many. The initial hypocrisy of unalloyed praise for a dead leader will in time yield place to a more balanced assessment of his contribution to his home state of West Bengal. It is a pity, though, that apart from lamenting the “historic blunder” of the politburo of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in denying him the opportunity to become India’s prime minister, one can say very little about his impact on national politics. plumber toronto deals in toronto
