It is an industry that draws comparisons with ambulance seekers i.e. social activists, NGos, permanent revolutioneries and lawyers whose only mission in life is to somehow keep the pain of people alive to run one's own bank balances and seek funding from foreign and other sources.
This industry has ensure that while the rest of the world has moved on, they have kept the clock for themselves stuck in 2002.
A compelling read from Sandeep about this industry.
Are death anniversaries celebrated? “Celebrated” is an unfortunate choice of word to use in the same breath as “death.” And no, that word choice is not mine. It is the media’s. Somebody’s death anniversary is not celebrated unless that person is someone like Stalin. Speaking of which, Jawaharlal Nehru was the only head of a democratic state in the world who mourned the death of “Marshall” Stalin. Death anniversaries of the truly great and noble people rightfully deserve the label Memorial Day. Does anybody “celebrate” Jallianwallah Bagh? If the answer is yes, then he/she is celebrating General Dyer’s unmitigated cruelty.
