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 ............

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school .

There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
