VIDEO | On Centre asking Delhi Gymkhana Club to hand over premises by June 5, Defence Expert, Major General (Retd) PK Sehgal, says, "Without any prior warning or advance notice, this action, threatens 600 employees losing jobs; Gymkhana Club a prestigious heritage site and its destruction is a sacrilege that requires public opposition."

Prabhu you know generations of bureaucrats since 1947 worked for salaries well below private sector doles. Clubs provided them facilities for sports & reasonable meals. That also insulated them from dependence on moneyed class, which seeks their goodwill.



VIDEO | Delhi: “It is pity that cultural institutions are shrinking; they must evolve, not ossify”, says Historian Swapna Liddle on Centre ordering to vacate Gymkhana by June 5. (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)



Hit me with the darkest Political conspiracy theory you know !!



This is unfortunate. It is truly tragic. ( Hope the proposal is reconsidered) @arunjaitley got a new pool constructed during his life time. Some of the finest tennis matches have been played here. So much history, so many memories, and generations of sporting excellence are associated with this place. The Delhi Gymkhana Club is not just a property — it is part of our institutional and sporting heritage. Change may be necessary, but history and legacy deserve thoughtful preservation. We can plan to add something new there too… ndtv.com/india-news/del…

Hereditary membership in a club built on government-allotted land is hard to justify.

Apropos Union Gov’s decision to destroy #DelhiGymkhanaClub my views: 1. I joined it in 1978/79 (applied in 1974). My father wasn’t a member. 2. Only all-India services & military officers got membership routinely. 3. The club, besides its other services, was famous for its tennis & squash facilities. Famous writer/journalist Khushwant Singh played tennis there till his 90s 4. The elected committees may’ve performed poorly, making gov nominate members. 5. As my old friend @thekiranbedi has opined Del Gym Club is a repository of sporting, services & cultural memories. Destroying it is untenable.


Any institute or a club funded or supported by government can’t be allowed restrictive and selective use of its facilities. Delhi Gymkhana, Golf Clubs etc all over the country run on free or subsidised huge land parcels provided by the babus ,for the babus and their cohorts only. Others have to wait for memberships till their grand children are born. Now they are paid well, let them join privately run clubs where they can outreach their contacts for networking. @PMO, @narendramodi @AmitShah @IASassociation @BureaucratsInd

@b0red_historian Of course, the snake-mongoose is one extreme but Thapar didn't build on that. Nowhere did she claim them to have been on the throats of one another or being sworn enemies or something like that.

Thapar lives in your head rent-free. Do you not understand that Patanjali did note the Sramanas and Brahmans to be in an antagonistic relationship; changing the snake-and-mongoose parallel to owl-and-crow would have been technically correct but affected zilch otherwise?! (1/n)
