I was quite moved by Satish Chander's poem.
I had a rather detailed rebuttal of Sree Dokka's arguments in the works. But
after reading Sree Veluri's re-post of Sree Bapa Rao's comments, it is clear to
me that one could hardly improve on what Sree Bapa Rao has already said so
elegantly.
I am sure that just as every elder who repeated the mahaabhaarata story pointed
to Ekalavya as the ideal of studentship, every, I repeat every youngster, who
heard it felt a great sense of injustice and cried out "unfair!" Why is this
innate sense of idealism lost as one "matures?"
