Bose : The forgotten hero

Via Slimes

MPs show Netaji is a forgotten hero,

".. Leader of Opposition L K Advani found that he was the only one to have made it for the ceremonial floral tribute at the Central Hall, to commemorate Netaji’s 110th birth anniversary. Not one of the other 700-odd MPs showed up for the occasion....."

That one of the giants has been forgotten is a indictment of Indians, ensnared by the siren song of dynasty we have chosen to forget those who sacrificed their lives for us.

I would like that people be aware of the past, that past which ensured what we are today.

There is a practical difficulty in this, as it will not be possible to pay our homage to each and every of the numerous martyrs, may be a US like system where a single day is marked as tribute to all the freedom fighters some known, many of them unknown.
