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  when put together become good bad and ugly version of a man who in spite  of all the potential to be a "Mega Leader "chose to be a politician stuck in the  :mired of controversies"  His 11 years of spinning slogans and weaving stories   neither see any true  "economic revival" nor any real time "social harmony" 

Inflation has turned rouge , the dismal trend in unemployment among youth is depressing, crime rates have far outgrown the economic growth. Over past 11 years all Modi  "vachans" have proved to be nothing more than sheer sloganeering,  be it be "Beti Bachao Beti Padao", be it be "Saab Ka Saath Sab Ka Vikas", or be it be "Na Khaunga Na Khane Dunga",These are just few samples of "Modi Mantra" and not a "Modi Manthan" 

In past 11 years  'corruptions' and 'nepotism' have like termites  completely hollowed out the fabric of governance .Further the  "consistency" in his speeches  keep touching a new low" with every   "Public Address"  He has in this 11 years systematically pulled the 'spine' , off the Media and the bureaucracy ,Crony Capitalism has never been so vibrantly visible as it is today "

Way back in 2019 in his "Howdy Modi' event in "Houston"  he said " Modi alone is nothing" but back home we know very well  that a "Modi Less"  BJP  will crumble down in no time and who knows this better   than his "Cabinet"  who are enjoying a "Gala Time" sans accountability. But for the Nation a change  of "Guard "is crucial to prevent our Democracy from going insane 

I may be a Modi critic but never a Modi hater From an ordinary RSS preshrank to rise up and  become the Prime Minister of the largest Democracy of the world is not a walk away success ,it is a real time  story of grit and determination of a man called  Narendra Damodardas Modi  I wish our Hon PM a very Happy 75th Birthday.

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

My expiriment with "TRUTH"..

It was today but the year was 1981 and the day was probably a Saturday. I was there on the ceremonial stretch of "Raj path".There were about 4 lac people like me "all excited", getting ready for the "action shot" for Richard Atendbrough's film "GANDHI". The scene was Gandhiji's "funeral procession".I was wearing white khadi "Pajama & Kurta" which I bought from Khadi gram udyog at 'Regal building the previous evening. This was the recommended "dress code" for the shoot. Probably I never thought then that I was about to be part of a "live action crowd" of this magnitude that will never again be filmed. Soon the heavy camera's parked on the cranes started rolling. I lost the count of how many times those giant like cameras zoomed in and zoomed out of me. I was simply emotionally charged walking the stretch shouting "Vande Matram","Mahatma Gandhi" "AmarRahe"...
