When Mr. AK Ramakrishnan, ex-IG of Registration retired recently, a section of his office staff had 'purified' his office and official vehicle using 'holy water mixed with cowdung' as he belonged to the Scheduled Caste community! A disturbing and unacceptable behaviour for the following reasons:-
(a) It's happened in Kerala where people are supposed to be more enlightened.
(b) The state is far ahead than the others in socio - cultural progress.
(c) The 'act' was committed by his own colleagues in the staff. Were they 'suffering' him thus far while working with him?
(d) This incident took place in the state's capital, Thiruvananthapuram where the government sits!
Why do we punish people for the accident of their birth? And who gives us the right to do so? I feel ashamed of the entire episode. There are unconfirmed reports that the incident was orchestrated by a disgruntled Joint Secretary of the department who felt victimised by the ex-IG. I'd like to believe that this story is true and the episode did not have the blessings of the remaining others!! If not, whither Kerala?
