Is Jaswant's recent act of writing on Jinnah INTENTIONAL?

Recently Jaswant Singh has been expelled by Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for writing a Book on the so called Father of Pakistan JINNAH : "Jinnah India-Partition Independence". The expulsion caused enough publicity for him because BJP didn't even consult with Jaswant Singh before annonucing his expulsion from party by completely ignoring his 30 years of service in the party. BJP Senior leader Mr. L K Advani said 'painful but necessary'.

In an interview conducted by times of india, a leading national newspaper in India, he refused the indication or feeling of expulsion or similar kind of act from BJP before writing or launching his book on Jinnah. Nonetheless, Jaswant's statement perhaps has something which keeps me doubting his innocence. Yes, it seems that Jaswant's act of praising Jinnah in his book was intentional because he might be knowing the consequences.

After a terrible defeat in the 2009 elections BJP has nothing remain to stand out against in the coming 5 years. Instead of having youth representation (which is a mandate to drive the party and nation) they have few old names who are fighting amongst each other. After Vajpayee's retirement from the party Jaswant Singh sees no opportunity for him in the party. He might be having this thought of separating from the party but wasn't able to find a way to get out his 30 years of bond with the party. 'Jinnah' who is always a controversial issue like 'Kashmir' clicked on his mind. Although he raises truth about the role of Congress (including Nehru and Patel) but he was in par with Jinnah. Here he made the point.

No party in India can tolerate any of his members to praise the person who is so called responsible for partitioning India. We have been teaching our kids right from chilhood that Jinnah is the solely reason of partitioning India. So Jaswant had to pay the price for praising Jinnah which he immediately got from BJP in the form of expulsion.

What's now:

Jaswant is separated from BJP (known to be a biased party) and is now made a point that he is a follower of secularism. From now he has the opportunity to open a new party or to join anti-BJP parties.

Jaswant has gain enough popularity by writing a book on Jinnah and has undergone a change for himself which may or maynot in turn going to benefit him.........

When I came to know that I too have emotional feelings....

"I too have emotional feelings"...

...this I came to know twice till date in my life ;-) ...

1. I left home for first time to pursue my life's first job

2. My best buddy went back home ( he had to go back due to some official reasons)

In both the situations I made my pillow wet....oops....being a BOY this was a crime...seriously a crime....but I committed it...I donno...it all happened automatically....I wasn't able to sleep whole night....I kept thinking about the momemts I shared with them in my life till date....

My bond with my home and family was very natural....I spent 21 years of my life with my family so it was very natural to turn emotional at the time of separation (by separation here I mean, living separately but highly connected with heart and soul).

But the second bond was made quite late in my life till date...I mean....after joining the first job and after getting the first project...a bond which is now very strong and cant be broken.....a separate life full of excitement, enthusiasm, humour & optimisim.........

getting no words to explain that feeling...its really sad to be away from our beloveds......
