A; M. Phil (in English) and a Masters degree holder in Education, worked as Post Graduate Teacher(PGT) in English in quasi-Government Residential Educational Institutions in Hyderabad, Telangana. She has a flair for writing. She authored and co-ordinated some of the textbooks for High School students in Andhra Pradesh (united). She has been airing her views in the English newspapers on political and social issues for more than two decades. She is active on social media too.
After writing since a long time on contemporary matters, this book is her maiden attempt to publish her own mind-map and how it led to several revelations. She points out that Ram Janmabhoomi Vs Babri Mosque is an issue of Indian Secular Constitution & Law Vs Indian Culture. Basically, Indians of different religious communities follow their cultures in their own personal lives on which the law has no reach. However, Ayodhya-temple building, throws up challenge to the secularism of India.
She writes about Arun Shourie, the columnist and Ram Madhav, the Pracharak and organising secretary of Pragna Bharati, NGO, Hyderabad, working with them and their influence on her extensively in two chapters. She being nave at that time in 1990s, her expression of feelings is interesting to read.
She reproduces the discussions held sometime ago on religious conversions, importance of the Vedas and ancient Indian knowledge, how secularism in India is distorted, on Hindutva and Feminism in Bharatiya perspective. And also, some still relevant topics of politics like Uniform Civil Code, J&K, Cow-protection, Swadeshi.
Freedom of Speech, Liberal values, Nationalism, Media (mainstream and social) and Truth -how they have to be expressed, are a part of her learning and presentation.
It is amusing that these realisations are her wisdom after being a housewife and hands-on mother to her children for a decade and later after taking up the job.lihat lebih sedikit
