Bahadur Yar Jung counted many leading Hindu leaders as his friend including Gandhi Ji and Rabindranath Tagore. In a letter to Sarojini Naidu dated June 13, 1942, Gandhi Ji enquired about the deteriorating communal situation in Hyderabad State:
In various instances of Bahadur Yar Jung life where he practically demonstrated his belief in justice and harmony. In 1942 he amicably resolved the dispute related to the land of Sharan Basappa Temple in Gulbarga. Finding Muslim claims to the land as unjust he gave the decision in favour of the temple. At this Muslims complained but he did not blink and instead reminded them of the Quran verse, and do not let the enmity and hatred of some people lead you away from justice, but adhere to justice, for that is closer to piety (Qur’an, 5: 8).
Famous quotes containing the word jung:
“Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.”
—Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
