<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->It is not unusual for ICHR luminaries to wobble in a drunken state, supported by volunteers, to the venue of ICHR annual conferences. (I have heard about this behaviour from many old-time members of ICHR).
But what is unsual is the letter received on 30 Nov. 2006 from Indian History Congress (Signed Prof. Bhairabi Prasad Sahu, Secretary, Delhi University). It says:
<!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> URGENT Dear Colleague, I regret to inform you that the Kurukshetra University has now expressed its inability to host the 67th session of our Congress on 28-30 December 2006 or any later dates. The University authorities have given no reason in writing as to why they took this decision which itself was finally communicated to us on 13 November...A fresh venue and date (probably in February 2007) would be notified to all members, as soon as arrangements are made...[unquote]
Not unusual for an entity which indulges in suggestio falsi and suppressio veri, a trademark of communists and p-secs of Bharatam.
It is learnt from reliable sources that the Secretary ICHR is not telling the whole truth. An attempt was made to prepone the meet to 21 to 23 December since the earlier announced dates were not acceptable to Madame Antonia Maino (Natural, considering the christmas season). It is also learnt that ICHR learnt to their dismay that maamsam is banned in the pilgrimage, sacred city of Kurukshetra under the orders of Haryana Government. It is after all the trademark of many history luminaries to revel in enjoying maamsam and cite with joy that maamsam was eaten even during vedic times (pace RS Sharma, DN Jha). Hungry things, how can ICHR conduct its proceedings effectively, without eating maamsam?
I suggest that a reason why ICHR ran away from Kurukshetra is because of the successful adhives'an of Akhila Bharatiya Itihasa Sankalana Yojana (ABISY) from Nov. 17 to 20 where a Sarasvati Dars'an exhibition was unveiled and where all the 450+ delegates from all parts of the country, adopted an unanimous resolution that all archaeological sites along Vedic River Sarasvati should be fully explored and excavated to document the heritage of Bharatiya civilization and culture.
The Presidential address of ABISY 7th adhives'an (held every 3 years), delivered by Prof. Shivaji Singh, President, ABISY is a must read for ICHR luminaries and all students of history. I venture to suggest that just this one brilliant, forthright, remarkable speech made ICHR run away from Kurukshetra. (A website will be unveiled containing the deliberations of ABISY with particular reference to River Sarasvati findings).
Sure, there is a mating dance ongoing between communists and UPA (chaired by Madame Antonia Maino -- AK). But little would have Prakash Karat or even Irfan Habib foreseen that the dates of Dec. 28 to 30 are NO, NO for someone from Orbassano. And, what credentials does AK have to preside over the ICHR annual conference?
Members of ICHR may like to ponder, abandon ICHR and join ABISY to document Itihaasa Bharati, the contribution of anusoochit jaati, anusoochit janajaati, backward and downtrodden classes to Bharatiya ethos, traditions and civilization.Â
