Transformed Kashmir is a Tribute to Dr SP Mukherjee
Abstract
The Nehruvian state cancelled two great leaders, the founders of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh—Shyama Prasad Mukherjee (1901 to1953) and NC Chatterjee (1895 to1972). Does anyone in the post-independence generations know these leaders who were cancelled by the ecosystem of the Nehruvian state? SP Mukherjee, a brilliant speaker who challenged the Nehruvian state, was systematically marginalised, and the case of his death in custody in Jammu and Kashmir has raised several unanswered questions. The removal of Article 370 is a tribute to this great leader and martyr. He fought vehemently against the partition of Bengal, and if there is a state called West Bengal today, it is due to his courage to speak about the atrocities against Hindus.
