I love to commemorate each day which has imprinted
indelible mark in our history impacting culture, ideas, democratic ethos. On
this line today , 24th April, I would like to highlight three occasions,
firstly to mark birthday 🎂 of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar whose
contribution to popular indian culture I.e. cricket is indisputable, secondly
on the same date 24.04.1973 , the landmark keshwanand Bharti case who shaped
the very idea of Indian constitution unprecedentedly paving the way for rock
foundation of basic structure; thirdly, we must also celebrate the local self
government day, panchayati raj system enforced on 24.04.1993 , brought democracy at door step of
people.......all these three have common denominator in terms of widening the
space of idea of India n Indians.....Modern historian Dr. Ramchandra Guha in
context of Tendulkar says that no other than Gandhi ji has so pan India acceptance transcending any of
identity barrier...I may not buy this idea for longer but yes his contribution
to Indian cricket ll be at front forever, geniuses are bound to born in every
generation...Period.....😀😬😁
