Kind Words from Honorable Justice Krishna Iyer, former Judge of the Supreme Court

by Narendra Modi 4. January 2012 17:46
Dear Friends,

"Work without expecting the fruits of action"- this message of the Bhagavada Gita is strongly engrained in all of us. At times, even such deeply dedicated lives get inspired when touched by emotions. Amidst the glitter of fame and name flows incessantly a stream of sentiments but it is like river Saraswati just felt underneath. The sweet sounds of these streams find their ways and shake you to the core occasionally.

Sometime back I had been to Kerala where I paid an informal courtesy to one of India’s most renowned judges, Honorable Justice Krishna Iyer (Former Judge, Supreme Court). In a simple house, he sat in a room lit with sunrays peeping through the windows in the midst of heaps of books. It was truly an honour to meet the 90-year old Justice Iyer, whose persona epitomized politeness, kindness and a deep sense of affection! This meeting will be edged in my memory forever.

Friends, the whole of Gujarat is familiar with my passion for girl child education. Everybody has enjoyed the fruits of the Kanya Kelavani initiative across Gujarat! Details about the initiative could be found here (Kanya Kelavani).

I am writing this today to share with you an inspiring letter I received from Justice Iyer a few months ago in which he lauded our efforts for girl child education. The letter is sure to bring great joy to your heart as it did to mine. Joy and enthusiasm are best enjoyed when shared and this collective enthusiasm can further strengthen us to work better.

Sir that is bitter fact that still people wants MAlE as a womb. :(:( N it happens in highly educated family too. It happens in villages  n city n metros too. I think first of all we shud start evryone tthink that girls n boys are same n presious part of our society.They r equally important.I appreciate with all ur works like KANYA KELVANI,save girl child,beti bachao n all that but still v cant save them :( still in some labs its done n girls r aborted before she cums in this beautiful world. Still its done in somewer around us n v cant do sumthing ..bcz evryone living with one mentality...."maru su jay?!!"

Dear Sir,
I deeply appreciate not just you efforts towards girl child education and development but all the work that you have done and are still doing for the progress and development of the state.
But at the same time there is one community also, however small in number(as people may think them of) and insignificant to many which need help and attention of people like you who have the will and the potential.

Thats the community of transgenders, who must also be educated and given opportunities to work. Only framing RTE will not help. Ground level work towards awareness and encouragement is also be required.

Kindly help this community as well.

Regards

This is such a wonderful work to help girl children to regain their glorious past! Like minded people easily recognize each other. I have great respect for for both these great personalities. Bharat is safe in such hands! I don't understand why other leaders of BJP do not follow the model Modiji set! Has anybody any answer??
also why press does not bring about such news for the benefit of people. DO they feel writing real things happening is taking political side?

Yes ofcourse the kanya kelavni campaign has really revolutionized the education system in Gujarat and not only that the other campaigns have also improved the skewed ratio of girls and boys in the state. My son got a real tough competition in his board exams from his female colleagues this year. I ma glad to have you as CM

The letter form Justice says that CM sir has not that he holds you as a model for being CM of another states in the country. Are all the CMs of the states watching this? I guess no. because if this was done, then many of the CM s would have appreciated you and congratulated you for all your works. But one day that will happen too.

In the morning I just logged in to my computer and I read the 3 beautiful things uploaded here, your blog, your letter and Justice Iyers letter and I think I am gonna make the letters now my wallpapers. Because I feel, his words are so inspiring for you and now for me as well that I can surely draw some inspiration from there to do some good works for the women like me, though on a small scale. Applause for your good work.

Super personalities exchange ideas, views, appreciation and excitement in public through well forgotten medium letters. That’s why they say old is gold.
And what do the congress do, exchange bribes. That’s it.

Respected Narendraji,

We all need to work towards the empowerment of girls. I appreciate your efforts in this direction. There is a great need to join hands and work truthfully and sincerely at the field level.  To empower girls there is a need of social transformation. The process of change is slow. To accelerate the change we need to sensitize all the members of the family, the caste leaders and religious leaders. They have a lot to contribute in the process of change.

My humble request is to review and finalize the Gujarat state plan of action for children. This document need to have a strong component empowerment of girl child.
