Oppressed classes today have equality from social reformers like Narayana Guru
BK Hariprasad in Kanyadi Rashtriya Dharma Sansad
Belthangady, September 3: "Our ancestors have done good thing to the society. The Constitution has brought all the scattered states of India and it's diversity together. Because of the equal opportunities entitled in the Constitution to every citizen and the social reformers like Sri Narayana Guru, the oppressed classes today have equal rights and opportunities in the society", said Rajya Sabha Member B K Hariprasad.
He was speaking at the Rashtriya Dharma Sansad organised at the Sri Rama Kshetra at Nelyadi near here on Monday. In different states, social reformers like Sri Narayana Guru, B.R. Ambedkar and others have changed the society and people should emulated those ideals to lead a peaceful life. Because of such social reformers, the south India has registered rapid growth. It was not right to say that learning history was useless. History would help rectify the mistakes and build the society, he said.
“Doing politics in the name of religion, using the name of religion for violence, exploitation and harassment is not fair. All are equal in the country and everyone has equal rights. Let us teach all the good things in all religions to our children to make them good citizens. Nowadays, the people have lost belief on khadi and khaki. But are believing in Kavi. So, the swamijis should retain that beliefs reposed on them. This Dharma Sammelan should take good decisions to spread peace and harmony in the society”, he said.
Expressed dissatisfaction
Hariprasad expressed his displeasure over not mentioning about Sri Narayana Guru in the programme and even in the invitation cards of the Rashtriya Dharma Sansad being conducted at the Rama Mandir at Kanyadi which has been working to fulfill the intentions of Sri Narayana Guru.
