New Delhi [India], December 31: The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, described the renowned writer and Member of Parliament, the late Shankar Dayal Singh, as a “saintly author” and praised his total dedication to truth. He said that Singh never allowed relationships to stand in the way of truth in his writing. He was unwavering in his commitment to truth, and his words and works left an indelible mark on Indian politics and society.
Shankar Dayal Singh served as a Member of Parliament from 1971 to 1977, and during his tenure, he witnessed the Emergency period in India. His book “Emergency: Kya Sach, Kya Jhoot” is a reflection of the political events of that time and his personal experiences. In the introduction to the book, Singh expressed his inner voice, writing, “My frankness may cause some controversy, and my friends may also face difficulties. But what can I do? The pain of truth that lies hidden beneath the political skin of my soul constantly pricks me.” This courage to speak the truth is something only a saintly writer could do as observed by the Chief Guest, Sh. Manoj Sinha ji.
During the event, Swami Chidanand Saraswati of Parmarth Niketan, Haridwar, reminisced about his association with Shankar Dayal Singh. He shared that he was introduced to Singh by the eminent jurist Dr. Laxmimall Singvi when Dr. Singvi was the Indian Ambassador to the United Kingdom. It was at Dr. Singvi’s encouragement that work on the Hindu World Encyclopedia began, and Shankar Dayal Singh was an integral part of the team formed for this project. Swami Ji further stated that Singh’s creative contribution to this encyclopedia was significant. Reflecting on Singh’s sudden passing, Swami Ji added that, like a traveler, Singh had embarked on his final journey as if guided by divine will.
At the beginning of the program two minutes of silence was observed as a tribute to Former Prime Minister of India Sh. Manmohan Singh Ji.
The Main Theme of the Lecture
This year’s “Shankar Dayal Singh Memorial Lecture 2024” focused on the theme “Hamari Jarurate aur Chahte”. As the keynote speaker, Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati explained that life is not about accumulation but about relationships. He stressed that if we begin to focus on accumulation, we fall prey to our desires. Only by living through relationships can we truly understand and recognize our needs. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha also emphasized that accumulation is a kin to a disease, and people in Western countries are now seeking ways to break free from it. He pointed out that the advertising industry presents our desires as needs, trapping us in this cycle.
At the start of the event, Ranjan Kumar Singh son of Sh. Shankar Dayal Singh who is an author & a film maker welcomed the guests, noting that despite the rain, the large turnout was a testament to people’s commitment to the event and its core values. Dr. Rashmi Singh, daughter of Sh. Shankar Dayal Singh who is an IAS Officer and currently posted as a Commissioner/Secretary & Principal Resident Commissioner, Jammu & Kashmir Government delivered the vote of thanks.
