ALL INDIA PROFESSIONALS' CONGRESS
Inspire! (July 23, 2020) To most Indians, August 5, 2019 was about a cherished goal of the RSS and the BJP. The abrogation of Article 370 and revocation of autonomy for Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir was about making J&K part of the mainstream, more like other states. This is how integration would be achieved. The time for appeasement was over. This broad narrative pushed by the ruling establishment carried the day. However, the actions of that day constituted a significant blow to India’s federal structure. But in what way do the actions of that day impact the lives of ordinary Indians? Does August 5, 2019 matter beyond partisan jubilation or depression? Does it really matter for India’s future? At an individual level, what does it matter to a citizen? There are no easy answers to these weighty questions of constitutional principles and propriety. However, there will certainly be consequences at different levels and not always in ways that we imagined.
It’s indeed a pleasure to look back upon all that we have managed to achieve together in these few months since the first edition of AIPC Inspire! was published. We have made unimaginable strides and maintained consistent growth. As a department and as a unit we have been able to give more of our colleagues an opportunity to get to know one another and contribute together.
Congratulations to the AIPC Inspire! team for bringing out the next edition of our magazine. The team has worked exceptionally hard to compile timely, relevant, and interesting content that I am certain will hold the attention of AIPC Fellows.
‘April is the cruellest month’ wrote T. S. Eliot in his poem The Waste Land, in 1922. Almost a hundred years later, the words came back to haunt us!
