This is Politician's and not People's.....?

-


From Sonia-ism to Mamta-ism, from Maya-ism to Mulla..yam-ism this country is getting pushed into a political-ism that  demands political appeasement not political reforms. I am sure unless you are  mentally deranged you will never call a demand for  promotional quota for Dalits and going overboard in appeasing  minorities  as any sane  measures of political reforms.The quota politics if carried on can  seriously start  compromising the quality and standard of performance that can eventually jeopardize the economy, commerce and  even the security of the country. Today it remains a major cause of Brain Drain.

The ism that we see and applaud has  neither the colour of socialism, nor the look of capitalism. It is all the way  political ism ..Here is a sneak peek...read on....

In Delhi there is a serious shortage of graveyards for burying the dead and gone ordinary people, while 300 acres of prime land remain occupied by the dead and gone politicians and additionally over 10 crore of rupees  are annually  being spent on maintaining their Samadhis.

Mumbaite struggle to stand tall in spite of the sea of ordeals they come across daily. However Mumbai is all set to erect a sea facing statue of  Ambedkar. This statue will be taller than the Statue of Liberty and the politicians claim it to be a fitting tribute to the so called  emancipator of the Dalits. Unmindful of all  this the living  Dalits continue their fight with starvation.. in this STAR city.

In Lucknow's land crunch economy hundreds of acres of land are being  used for populating statues of Dalit leaders. Crores of rupees are being spent in up-keeping of these lifeless statues, while the shelter less millions of living Dalits are left to die in abject poverty.

In UP cast warring continues to be the working capital for political upliftment,  while for the ordinary people their cast continues to be a curse that has no cure..

Religionism and Casteism  are becoming  serious political flaw which if not corrected are sure to
tear and tamper the fundamentals of what we call 'unity in diversity'.

The President, The Prime Minister and The Speaker of the Parliament should be persons who can  demonstrate the courage of conviction to push reforms that can .....

a)  Dissuade politicians from making politics an office of profit .
b)  Prevent politicians from exploiting cast, religion and region for building their political clout .
c)  Usher  economic reforms, economic freedom that can become signature of confidence for growth and welfare of the people and the nation

Unfortunately today The president , The Prime Minister and The Speaker of our  Parliament are persons as alive as statue of Liberty  and who can neither demand , nor  deliver the nation from the clutches of political-ism.

Are they  not reasons enough for us to claim that this is Politician's and not  People's DEMOCRACY ............

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
