A salute to "ModiShah Gathbandhan"

At last the Govt of the Day dared to call off the political bluff of the CONGRESS that kept the State of Jammu and Kashmir perennially under fear of militancy for past 70 years. Yes, PM Modi and his Govt today scrapped Article 370 and Article 35A through passing a legislation on the floor of the Parliament. This also scrapes the stand alone Constitution for "Kashmir" Beginning today the Constitution of India will be equally applicable to all States and Union territories from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. India thus becomes today a country of one "Nation" one "Constitution" and that too both in letter and spirit.

Kashmir is a State that remained fuming under the tunnel of insurgency and now gets the opportunity to walk up to the end of the tunnel and spot the light of hope. A hope perhaps moving forward will make all the difference to the people and the State.

Scrapping Article 370 and Article 35A is I feel will not amount to any breach of Constitutional power of the Govt neither I think it will violate any international treaty viz the UN. So constitutionally speaking now the State of J&K will come on the same page with the rest of the Nation. Of course now Kashmir and Jammu together becomes an UT like Delhi and Ladakh a UT like Daman and Diu. At last now every Indian citizen will have the right to move around and settle in any part of the Indian territory and that now includes Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh

By the way with 15th of August just a week ahead will it be too much of a wishful thinking to say that PM Modi may address the Nation this Independence Day from "Lal Chowk" and not "Red Fort"
But then you never can predict a "ModiShah GhatBandhan" !

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 ...

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...
