Debate: Akbar vs Adi Sankaracharya
by Guest Thu Mar 07, 2013 5:51 pm
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A leading RSS ideologue today backed Press Council of India chairman Justice Markandey Katju's reported observation that "Pakistan is an artificial nation and a failed state" but said it was difficult to accept his entire views on the subject made during a lecture here....
"Justice Katju deserves congratulations for his courageous statement that reunion between the two countries alone can bring about lasting peace in this region. But scholars of history will find it difficult to subscribe to his views that India is largely a nation of immigrants," Parameswaran said....
Objecting to justice Katju's view that it was Akbar and Nehru who deserved credit for India's unity, Parameswaran said centuries before Akbar was born, it was the Sankaracharya who established four Mutts in the four corners of India and demonstrated that culturally and spiritually India is one.
Mahatma Gandhi also in his book 'Hind Swaraj' had stated the practice of pilgrimage of people from one part of the country to the other was instituted by our ancestors in order to strengthen and preserve the unity of India.
Swami Vivekananda was the personification of India`s unity and it was he who inspired even Gandhiji and Nehru to fight for India`s freedom.
