Politics of disrobing 'Draupadi'




We are neither perplexed nor paranoid   by the  political  and  economic upheaval that this great country  is going through. Our Republic may turn 'Banana' so what we are still happy to slip away into our own dreams unlimited. That's what we are...'the mango people'... ripened in poverty , soaked in inflation the only  remains of a democracy that is turning rogue and repulsive with every rising 'son'...

Elections are  fast becoming a failure of faith and a mandate of empty words and broken trust. Collusion politics collude not for reforms but for rupturing  regional and religious sentiments.The political philosophy  remains heavily contaminated. As a nation we have seriously run out of thought leadership.

How long should we keep defending our lack of initiative for  growth and developments. Simply because we insist that at 63 we are young, cannot absolve us from the guilt of under achieving growth and undermining our potentials.It is time we should have become an emerged economy and not remain an emerging economy.

Be it business, be it bureaucracy, be it politics or be it religion  a cause and a case for  corruption will always exist.We can't deny that corruption has become the very nut and the bolt of our society. Let us not therefore  make  the  mistake of construing that  a war call against corruption,will annihilate corruption from the society.

 In a country  where all the seasoned politicians and political parties are busy conspiring and conning , the emergence of a man called Arrvind Kejeriwal  is  very welcome. I  heartily endorse his spirited entry into politics. However when there are more just and serious national issues, why he chose corruption as a subject for a political entry is becoming a....?

Corruption is a complex and a crafted subject. Here over reliance of direct as well circumstantial evidences are politically debatable and therefore any fire from the hip and holster are  likely to re-bound without warning. It is  not the right vehicle to ride on for a political intern such as Arrivind Kejeriwal. Further since he is also an intellectual and  well read, I thought he would  know that in this country exposing  corruption, one after the other is as futile as politics of disrobing 'Draupadi' .

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
