Today is going to be an important day in Kolkata’s history. In a few hours from now, the HC will decide whether the book fair can be allowed to take place at Maidan.
Horns are locked over the issue between nature-lovers and the government. In an earlier post (see Some people’s concern = Others’ misery), I’ve spoken on why book fair at Maidan goes against the concept of science and the law of land.
But there’s no denying the fact that the combined might of the ruling party, the government and some highly-acclaimed intellectuals is acting against the shifting of book fair, come what may. Which is why today all eyes are fixed on the HC judgment.
I hope the neutrality of science and the land’s law prevails over the powerful interest of forcing the book fair at Maidan.
