How best to remember George Fernandes?

'A fierce crusader against communalism, George joined hands with majoritarian forces, never to revisit or re-assess his saffron association.''He was a Union minister in 1998-2004, a time when people like Graham Staines were lynched in Orissa.''On the Gujarat pogrom of 2002, George went on to kind of justify the slashing of pregnant women, by saying in the Lok Sabha that this was nothing new for India.''Thus, he was in sharp contrast to what he had himself stood for in the heyday of his political career in the 1970s and 1980s, says Mohammad Sajjad.
