Subject: [Goanet] State mourning for what?
"One and half day's state mourning, for what?" This is the question asked
by commoners on the streets of Panjim. Who is this man Ravindra Kelekar?
May have a a list of awards and writings to his credit in hindi, devnagiri
konkni and marathi, so what? Awards confered in India do not necessarily
make a man great. We know all the controversy about awards in this country
and all the boot licking and what not that goes on to become eligible. Was
a holiday declared after the demise of Dr. Jack Sequeira, why not? The
Gandhian tag is being attached to Ravindra Kelekar, but what was his
Gandhian contribution on the front of social reconstruction in Goa and
promotion of Gandhian values. What was his contribution to resolve the
raging conflicts in Goa? Did he raise his voice against the injustices
perpetrated on the people of Goa? Was every section comfortable with
Ravindra Kelekar? Is he so great as D.D. Kosambi or Shenoy Goembab or B.B.
Borkar? These are questions that need to be ask
ed. We also join in paying our respects to Ravindrabab as a literary
person and definitely pray that eternal rest be granted for his soul.
