The present political pulse - my two cents

The things that have been quite determinental in the political scene of our country very recently are as follows.

1 A Naulakha suit (A dress costing 9 Lakhs) worn by someone in a nation whose founder father Mahatma Gandhi had gone half naked to meet the King of Great Britain.
2 The theory of manufacturing four kids proposed by some leader.
3 Day and night slander campaign against Arvind Kejriwal by a bunch of traditional politicians that back fired terribly.
4 A candid statement by an actor turned politician from Bihar in favour of AAM Admi Party. His only fault was that he tried to be honest and straight forward whilst being in a party that can ill afford such moral luxuries.
5 The comments of the American President before and after leaving India. The first one is that India is sure to progress if it does not splinter due to bigotry. The second comment is about the perceived deviation from the path shown by Gandhiji. It meant that India could head towards being a non secular state in the future.

Why are the elections in Delhi so important?

The Great Britain developed a mature political set up much before the rest of the world. Their King gave due space to his political advisors. The Judicial system, the Transport system, the Postal system and the Police evolved much faster. Their Army had a superior command and control system that infused unmatched discipline amongst the soldiers. Disciplne lead to better organisational skills. This discipline was copied by the companies and mercenaries that went about doing their business across the globe.

The British found India much too wanting in organalisation skills and unity. The subcontinent had a vast spectrum of cultures, religious beliefs and languages. They conquered the whole of it and developed the Administrative mechanism, the Railway network and the Canals. But to their utter dismay these developments united the bulky land into a huge elephant. They had no option but to leave India as it had become unmanageable for them.

Democracy got newly introduced in India and somehow it worked despite several shortcomings. The language, caste, religion and regional divides  are still major barriers in the path of unity. Independent institutions like the Election Commission have been greatly weakened by the vested interests. One can only hope that the hardcore religious organisations do not have their Cells operating in the Army.

Presently the people see a ray of hope in the AAM Admi Party. It is based on rational thoughts and humanitarian principles. The elections in Delhi could become a milestone towards true democracy. Now, the future course of our country rests upon the Delhi-wasis.

Vote, Note and Cancer

There has been a substantial change in the government policy pertaining to advertisements of socially harmful substances. For the last several years our televisions were free from Ads  that promoted the consumption of cancer causing materials. Have you noted that these Ads have emerged once again?

Do not be surprised if the kids of your house get attracted towards carcinogenic things like Paan Masaalas. Somewhere in the corridors of power there has been a serious compromise with the welfare of the society. Aajtak channel, in particular is full of such Ads during Prime Time.

Your vote in favour of the corrupt politicians can surely affect the health and moral of the next generation. These far reaching consequences must be borne in mind before one goes to the polling booth. It is better to bring forward people who believe in honesty and humanity rather han those who are corrupt and communally biased. They would take VOTES from you and NOTES from the businessmen who popularise POISON and  give two hoots to the victims of CANCER.

Are secularists sick?

The retired top cop Kiran Bedi readily believes the media regarding the exit polls of Lok Sabha 2014. She calls secular people sick in her tweet. She had been an idol for countless Indian girls. When I went to her residence at 10 Talkatara road N Delhi to see some office equipment of my company some time in ninteen ninties, I found her very down to earth and simple. She called at my residence for some problem with the equipment and had also given her visiting card. These were treasured moments for an ordinary person like me. The nation looked upon her as a leader during Anna Hazare movement. Arvind Kejriwal called her elder sister and offered her to be the CM candidate for Aam Admi Party in 2013 assembly elections. But her inclinations towards a mosque demolishing political party and calling secular as sick does not behove her otherwise awe inspiring image of a wonderful personality respected by people across all religions in India and abroad.
