One of the most masterful & truly moving lectures I've listened to. Smt
@nsitharaman was at her articulate best while delivering the 1st Dr
@SLBhyrappa Memorial Lecture today organised by
@fihcr_info in New Delhi.
Referencing his greatest works including Bhitti, Parva, Vamshavriksha, Grihabhanga, Daatu, Avarana she traced the history of boxing & blocking of ideologies inimical to the dominant one, in historiography or indian languages such as Telugu, Tamil & Malayalam. She made a poignant analogy of the samudra manthan or churn of ideas, drawing the metaphor of actors coming to a stage from left & right, finally prescribing that none should be censored & all must flourish, if democracy has to survive in it's truest sense; if satya & soundarya - truth & beauty need to flower, as Bhyrappa desired.
Can't thank you enough ma'am for this delightful & educative speech - one that will remain in my memory for a long time, as I'm sure of all who heard you today
