Delhi University offers platform for BJP, RSS
by Anuradha Raman
One is a revered icon of Assam nationalism and the other is a party looking to appropriate symbols for electoral gains in the State that goes to the polls early next year. Delhi University on August 12 offered its platform to the BJP-RSS combine to commemorate the 16th century saint-scholar, playwright, social-religious reformer Sankar Dev.
The occasion was to commemorate the re-print of the book “Mahakavi Sankar Dev: Vicharak Evam Samaj Sudharak”.
The book had gone out of circulation and its re-print, officials explained, was an attempt to popularise it. The invitees included RSS joint general secretary Krishna Gopal.
16th century reformer Sankar Dev was remembered with an eye on Assam polls
