If a youth at the age of 12 years took part in the
freedom movement announced by Dr Ram Manohar Lohia on
June 18 in 1946, against the Portuguese rule 60 years
ago, he would have been born in the year 1934 and
would be 72 years today.
It is unbelieveable though that an youth of 12 years
would have understood the meaning of a freedom movment
considering the fact that many passed out their
matriculation then at the age of 22 years.
Hence what is shocking is that 60 years thereafter
(1946) freedom fighters continue to be honoured on
this historic day. This year there were 22 of them
But what surprises many is that there is also
reservation "for children of freedom fighters" in the
state.
Does it mean that freedom fighters born in 1934 and
before still have children below the age of 18 years
or 22 years to merit such concessions or reservation
of seats in educational institutions.
Will the Government order an enquiry into these
concessions/reservations and put an end to honouring
of freedom fighters?
