SHOULD WE SEE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE OF A PERSON SEPARATELY OR FORM A COMPOSITE PICTURE OF HIM?

I have been thinking on this topic for quite some time, many people have outstanding professional record, they are darlings of media yet their personal life is/has been controversial.

We all know the case of KPS Gill, even Kiran Bedi has been criticized for being publicity monger and attention seeker, and getting admission of her daughter through tribal quota (I don’t claim factual accuracy of this point), etc. but the point is do we have a right to look into their lives or it is none of our business.

I think that the responsibility of a public figure is much more than a common person, they are role model to public, and people pay great attention to what they say or do. Apart from the needed privacy (nobody is saying to peep into people’s bedrooms) I think they should not evade public gaze because the real you comes out in private not in public (except for mob situation), how you behave in private reflects your general orientation towards your family, friends, society and life at large.

My belief is strengthened by the fact that Lashkar-e-Taiaba, which we all know is a terrorist organization, was doing charity and social work in Pakistan. Now, we see its profession (Terrorism) separated from its personal life (Charity & Social Work) but they see its profession (Charity & Social Work) and personal work (Terrorism) then what we call it would depend on which side of border we stand, but if we consider an overall, a composite picture of the organization we can easily decide on the matter. (kindly pardon my faulty reasoning,. . .)

So I think we must not be tunnel-visioned in viewing only professional life of the person while ignoring his personal life, at least not in the case of public figures.

JAGO PARTY HINDI WEBSITE

The Translation work of main sections of the website www.jago.in has been completed. The links of various pages have been put up in the Jago Party's Bhopal Chapter blog (website) in the same order as they are on the main website.

Although I am not perfectly sure about the accuracy of the translation, it will certainly overcome the language barrier to some extent, till the official hindi website is launched.

Hoping that this work would prove beneficial in the days to come.

Sincerely,
Latent Dissent.
