Lucknow May 21, 2010
“I too have a dream. I dream of an India – strong, Independent, self reliant and in the front rank of the nations of the world in the service of mankind.”
Bharat Ratna Rajiv Gandhi India’s late Prime Minister who was assassinated on May 21st 1991 said these words once and did everything he could in his short tenure to live up to them.
Today in academic circles it is often wondered as to who really was the architect of modern India, Jawaharlal Nehru who was India’s first Prime Minister and who gave this nation an industrial backbone or Rajiv Gandhi his grandson, who foresaw the satellite revolution, the coming of the information age and the importance of IT much before his contemporaries – and showed the countries’ Industry how to stand and face competition.
The wonders India has worked today in the IT sector would not have been possible without him. His modernization of the economy, his vision of the future and his innovations are hailed today by all and sundry.
Rajiv brought to India a new light and created a new road for the country to follow. At his death anniversary today several senor congress leaders gathered to pay their tributes to this noble soul at the UPCC headquarters in Lucknow.
Prominent among them were former ministers Swaroop Kumari Bakshi, Begum Hamida Habibulah, Bina Duggal, Ranjit Singh Judeo, Congress Party spokesperson Subodh Srivastava, former Chief Minister Ram Naresh Yadav, and senior Congressman Ram Krishna Dwivedi.
