A Follow up Report on Insult to Freedom Fighters of 1919

This post has reference to an earlier post "It Requires 87 Years to Become Freedom Fighter".

At the link of Punjab Newsline, there is a report by Jagmohan Singh. The report is more informative and authoritative. It has appeared before I posted the above mentioned report.

It can be said that the Indian Babudom is still suffering from Colonial Mind Set. The Deputy Commissioner of Amristar Shri K. S. Pannu I.A.S. does not understand that they had not lost their lives to obtain compensation for their families. The officer has showed lack of historical thinking while declaring that they had already been compensated.

It is really a sad story that in Mains Paper of 2007, UPSC had asked about the terrorist activities of Bhagat Singh whereas the very concept of "Terrorism" is invention of 1960s International Relations.

The Civil Servant should be sensatized on the Indian History. They should be made to attend the Referesher Courses in History as an inseparable part for earning their next scale. Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar regularly conducting such referesher courses. The services of the university should be availed by the local administration as well as the Punjab Government.
