Dr Kurien was forced to stepdown in 2006, stripped of his car, cook and security guard in 2009. In Sept 2012, when his dead body was kept at Amul for last respects, then CM Modi was 20km away to inaugurate a cattle feed plant but stayed away from visiting Anand.
If there's one national icon who truly deserved the Bharat Ratna, it is him! My only hope is that at least in his centenary year, his name is chosen for his tremendous contribution to the nutritional security of the country, albeit posthumously!

First it was rejection of Kerala's Sree Narayana Guru tableau at the Republic Parade. Now removal of chapter on Guru from Karnataka's Class X Social Science textbook. Looks like political plans to appropriate Guru has not really worked.
The two women who climbed Sabarimala together today,
Kanaka Durga is a Brahmin and Bindu is a Dalit.
By closing the shrine for ''cleansing', the tantri has practiced untouchability.
No ‘centuries old tradition’ was broken by the 2 women who entered Sabarimala. See this 1981 Nov 19 story and photo in Mathrubhumi daily on young women entering the shrine in huge numbers.
