Yesterday, I came across a news in the local newspaper that a police case has been lodged against Amitabh Bachchan and his show KBC. Inrigued, I read on to discover that the complaint is lodged because the complainant was not happy with a particular question or rather its chosen answer.
The question was "Who was the Guru of Shivaji Maharaj?" and the correct answer was "Dadoji Kondadev". The complaint is lodged by a so called marathi group, whose sole agenda is hate campaign against Brahmin community. This was the same group who successfully managed to get Dadoji's statue removed from the Laal Mahaal in Pune. These are the same people who managed to arm twist the goverment to stop the Dadoji Kondadev award, given to the best mentors in the sporting community.
What I fail to understand is how come these people try and put Shivaji Maharaj into a particular community. Don't they realise that they are making Maharaj look smaller by arguing about his caste and his mentor's caste?
I am proud of Shivaji Maharaj. Whenever I feel down and out, I always pick up Shreeman Yogi and that gives me the inspiration to fight on. He was the true Chhatrapati, the Raja of our hearts!
How sad he would be today, looking at the politics being played in his name... sigh!
