NAA   KAHOO   SE   DOSTI   NAA   KAHOO  SE BAIR

( NEITHER  FRIENDSHIP NOR ENMITY  )

Long back I heard a lecture by Sri Ranganathananda a very respectable Monk of Rama Krishna Mission wherein he described the conduct of a present day intellectuals. This learned sage also talked about the conduct of present day executive who is required to manage men in any organization. Though Far from management theories of Peter Drucker ,I found the discourse of this Monk inspiring and practicable .It kept the listeners spellbound. Sri Ranganathananda was also of the view that every modern executive should essentially deal the problem and not the person . Infact every humane and sincere solution to the problem shall finally reach the person .An executive should never reach a problem through a person alleged to be the cause of it. This great thinker was also of the view that it is essential for an executive to put in practice the lines of great saint Kabir

KABIRA KHADAA BAZAAR MEIN SAB KI MAANGE KHAIR

NA    KAHOO    SE    DOSTI   NA   KAHOO   SE   BAIR.

Coming to Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed , I find that he follows the dictum of Sri Ranganathananda in all his scripts essentially NA KAHOO SE DOSTI NA KAHOO SE BAIR ..He touches subjects and issues in total objective manner. Prof. Ishtiaq Ahmed  was a professor  of  political Science at University of Stockholm.I keep reading his books and Articles . I find this learned man Authentic, original and without any bias of race or religion. His articles are well researched . He is a master in looking at (and presenting ) some of the conflicts both past and present in the light of cause and effect theory. . Such presentations evoke sympathy for the persons who are being talked about. They appear to be victims and effects of a cause . None of them is a cause for the issues under discussion. That appears wonderful. I call it information management.

During my School days we were told by our teacher Pandit Dina Nath Hanjura that some Hindus also joined Imam Hussain  in fighting evil forces of Yezeed at Karbala . These lines remained etched in my memory. None could confirm this to me though I was sure that a saintly man like Pandit Dina nath Hanjura would never tell a lie nor say something which had no Base. Thanks to Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed. He confirmed this to me . I lately read his book on Lahore covering tragic events of 1947 titled “  Lahore 1947- Some first person accounts .”. At page 35 i found the facts confirmed by  Jamna Dass Akhtar a journalist to prof . Ishtiaq. I quote Jamna Dass akhtar

“ We are known as Hussaini Hindus . Hussaini Brahmins were found in many places in the Rawalpindi division .One of our ancestors Sidhu Dutt and his seven sons died fighting on the side of Imam Hussain at Karbala.” . The book is based on some first person accounts narrated to Prof Ishitiaq Ahmed or his brother .

I wish the learned professor a long life to enable him to contribute his thoughts to the pool of information for our posterity . I also wish peace to the soul of Pandit Dina Nath Hanjura our school teacher.
