A Nation of obsolete 'Majority'.....

-





Our winning the  freedom at midnight, the religious intolerance that followed and the aftermath massacre never left any imprint of wisdom in our national political leaders. With passage of time this intolerance became the trump card for our politicians to win elections. Today it has become a political  bank for every politician to operate their electioneering account. This could be a pre-thinking that went behind in declaring India a Secular 'Nation'. The Nation moved on so did the time and gradually political bankruptcy followed.

Thanks to the magnanimity of our parliamentary democracy.Today as we gear up for celebrating the 65th year of our independence,all that we see around us is a vast community of spondilized and vandalized political parties and politicians. How can we expect  a Non demanding association  (NDA) or an Utterly puncher ed association (UPA) of political  bodies to steer clear  the nation from an economy that is drowning and a crime graph that is mounting the peak. For sure  the current political parties in circulation are not bankable to  deliver the country from inevitable bankruptcy and neither deliver the nation from making the minority an inevitable necessity at the cost of majority. Let us learn from our neighbors to respect the majority but let us not advocate their ill treatment of minority.

I have never been an Anna supporter nor I ever hold a faith in  winning  a war against corruption. Corruption has now become an integral part of the world economy.  I do understand that a fight for a social cause is a start point for paving ground for an entry into politics. I am not therefore surprised by Anna and  his team moving into politics. I strongly feel we need to support Anna Kejriwal team in the upcoming local poll as well  in the next general elections. When we know that we are in a  worst political scenario, it is worth gambling on a nave political party hoping it  will  give priority to all without disrespecting the majority.

When all the  Muslim countries across the globe  are turning Islamic,why should we remain a Secular nation. It is time our democracy DE-learns to muscle up a few at the cost of many.
 For God sake let us get away from being called a Nation of  obsolete  'Majority'...

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-
Image
  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market. The book takes us through  intricacies of clinching  business deals.  It talks about how political lobbying and networking with people in high places and bankers collaborate and become a blue print for M&A  stories. The book tells you that stories of business ventures

Giving words to my thoughts...

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing. I have always loved  scribbling words that give voice to the way I look at a situation, or to the way I feel about anything on the ground and under the sky. . My   view  may or may not matter  to the rest. However for me it remains a  mark of my own creativity. My creativity is more about visualizing things that  seldom see the light of the day.   Some call this  “Daydreaming” . I don't mind if people call me  a “wandering mind.” Neither I am bothered about the stigma called  “laziness” attached to it.  I see it as a tonic that energizes me  to think  beyond the realm of possibility For instance no matter how much  ever  I would have   chased my dreams  of becoming a corporate tycoon  I would never have been one simply because I would then lose the privilege and intimacy of being around with familiar and friendly faces sipping beer in crowded bar. I don't l

This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years. Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue. The problem of unemployment, the
