13 People of learning like you for this Seat of Learning will be like a blessing and it will inspire several others in the society"-------
But how can such a revolutionary man of learning will be trapped in the trick of this long and tricky request of the Secretary ? Speaking aloud in between this, he plainly told him the TRUTH: "Acceptance of your Award in this way and Co-operation to the expert-politicans now wearing the mask of "Educationists" is nothing but acceptance of exploitation and injustice---! Not only this means the co-operation to all the cheating plans, to all the games, serving your own ulterior motives at the cost of vast society of suffering people, under the guise of education !"
"But, Prashantji-----------!"
"Excuse me Dear Secretary ! Several innocent birds might have come in your trap, but this bird made of different clay, born and brought up in the free air of revolution, will not be trapped by you at all."
By telling so prashant told him lastly by the warningful challenge, characteristic of the OPEN WARNING LETTERS of the outlaws of Saurashtra
"Get ready for the fight not only of this humble self, but also for the huge people's movement challenging and burying all of your cheating Awards !"
And prashant started from there along with his friend Arun who had kept silence through out till now----
No doubt prashant expressed the out burst of his un-restful volcano but inwardly, from otherside, he was sinking in the waters great worries------
Prashnat --- factually possessing the property-wealth of neither a hut in the town, nor a piece of land in the field on one hand and love and respect in the society on the other still earning his livelihood on the dependence of the pen and respectfully passing his povertyful life, got absorbed soon in the worries to settle three of his five daughters standing on the threshold of youth-----! Totally sunk in the worries was prashant the man of latter !
Several plans were made on the dependence of only this one remaining property of landsite, prashant saw all his plans going into vain and all his dreams being scattered--- If he accepts the Award, he is not going to get anything more than the flimsy Honour of these cheating politicians and also what to get if going to oppose like this------?
By going to fight against the Seat of Learning and Government both by opposing the Award, that too from far off place, will require time and energy, both of which he badly needed elsewhere !! The deep worry of this second thought put him to greater unrest.
