<b>Swami Vivekananda: A legacy denied</b>

Several newspapers editorial pages display a remarkable conspicuity in their absence of remembrance of Swami Vivekananda"s birth anniversary. In the same vein, political parties have remained averse to appropriating the man and his message unlike the passionate exhibition of their characteristic voyeurism during Gandhi, Nehru and his parivar"s anniversaries.
<b>A full page advert of the sports ministry celebrates National Youth Day without identifying with Vivekananda!</b> Probably, it is because Vivekananda"s "unapologetic Hinduism" cannot be straight-jacketed into "secular", "progressive" and "dalit emancipative" categories.
(Not too many years back, Santa Antonia "Sonia Gandhi" Maino tried to appropriate Vivekananda - until she discovered he was a Hindu and didn't approve of christianism.)

Since Santa Maino wants to be Santa before dying, is it okay if she is beatified (and mummified) in life as well?
