Bajaj founder and chairperson Rahul Bajaj who passed away at 83 was known for his fierce political remarks and observations on communal polarisation and competitive politics. He was the face and figure speaking on the spate of atrocities and injustices being meted to the minorities in seeking protection and rights.
From the 2002 riots to mob lynchings, he represented the objective views and values of those who mattered greatly to the shaping of a democratic choice, belief and behaviour. In one of the television programmes, his claims disappointed Home Minister Amit Shah’s whataboutery on equality and inclusivity for each and everyone promising a life of worth and dignity to all.
Rahul Bajaj, apart from being the brain behind Bajaj, touched the lives of many common and ordinary, always passionately creating a connection with those with whom he was involved and conducted with his greatness, generosity and goodwill.
Forever etched in the minds and hearts of a million Indians. Salute to your spirit, sir.
