The Fakeer-Rule

Accept it or not, Our honourable Prime Minister believes in glamour. He changes his suit more often than any global leader. He believes in fashion. He can't be termed as a "Fakeer". Is this really a nature of a "Fakeer"? By stating himself as a Fakeer he's glorifying the meaning of this word. Now even a Fakeer can not use this word to express his helplessness and poverty.

If you would talk something against Mr. Modi in front of his followers they would argue that our PM does not live with his wife. He does not have kids. He wakes up early in the morning. He does not sleep for more than 4 hours. He makes tea on his own. He has not taken a single leave till now. Does it really make sense? Is somewhere written that if a person follows a specific routine then he or she can not be wrong or he or she can not be questioned for his/her given responsibilities? Why do people defend Mr. Modi by spelling out about his strict routine and lifestyle? It can be considered as the best way to escape from logical arguments. Whatever he does in his personal sphere is totally not a point of concern for anyone. What he is doing as the Prime Minister should be the chief most concern for us even if you're apolitical by nature.

He is our Prime Minister. We the people of India elected him. We elected him for the betterment and it does not seem like bettering the country at all. Our honourable PM is extremely obsessed with glamour. For him shaking the hands with President Obama & hugging him is explicitly more important than the India-US relation. First two years of Modi government were highly fame-focused for him. He met several global leaders like Barack Obama & Vladimir Putin who had enormous global influence. Shaking hands with them is not questionable at all but he's only shaking hands with them. India is not getting anything in return. Mr. Modi hobnobbed with Obama certainly by showing those friendly gestures to him. It does not signify about a better relation between India & US. Existent President Obama was all aware of the importance of India in recent future that is why his gesticulation was equally positive. Unfortunately, President Trump does not possess as liberal tendency as President Obama used to did. Silicon Valley, California in US has always been considered as an ultimate destination for IT aspirants of India and just after the appointment of President Trump, US tightens the rules to get H-1B visas. Which is clearly hitting those skilled aspirants. Now, you can sum-up the story by terming "Modi-Obama" friendship rather than using the term "India-US" relations.

Modi traveled the world in the name of seeking a permanent membership in UNSC & NSG. Membership of both is still not attainable for India. But you can not question him. These days criticizing PM means criticizing the glory & prestige of India. Aryavart, Bharat, Hindustan, India & Narendra Modi. These are the five names of India these days. Therefore, it's pretty much clear by opposing Narendra Modi you're gonna be instantly declared as an anti-nationalist. Initial years of incumbency were celebrated across the world. Mr. Modi addressed the assemblies in different different venues which are immensely glorious & astounding. People chanted his name "Modi-Modi" which must had fascinated his soul extremely. Modi has achieved huge success in this four years personally. Post, living standards, salary, fame, facilities & almost everything is now superior than the old times for Mr. Modi. For BJP, "Narendra Modi" is a synonym of India. Therefore, Mr. Modi's advancement shall be considered as the advancement of the nation. He's the prime minister he should definitely get all important facilities but he's there for a reason. Maybe he has forgotten that reason.

Today, BJP projects him as glorified as the nation. In earlier times, especially in Lok Sabha 2014 election campaigns, party presented him as an alternative term for "Development". India was a developing country under the UPA regime and it's still developing. India was struggling for its membership in UNSC & NSG then and it's still struggling to attain it. Kashmir conflict has never been resolved and it is absolutely in the same condition. Unemployment, Basic medical facilities and education have always been a major problem for India. Nothing has changed. Things are getting worsened. The only way to escape from these odd conditions is to keep trying in a well focused manner rather than escaping from accusations and realities.

Things are very unlike these days. It's an ongoing undemocratic flow in the largest democracy of the world. Sustainability of this kind of environment is very dangerous for the health of any democracy. The head of the state in a democracy is always an equal citizen. We should not present him emblematically. By doing so we'll be paralyzing the relevance of his post as an answerable and responsible one.

गांव और समाज

गावों की चारित्रिक विशेषताओं में से एक इसकी स्वागत करने की प्रवृत्ति है। शहर की भांति यहां पूंजीगत चकाचौंध और हर दिन एक नए उम्मीद को साधने का संघर्ष नहीं। शहर की तुलना में गांव अत्यधिक शांत और मनोरम लगता है। गांव का परिवेश आपको संवारता है और शहर में लोग परिवेश को हर रोज़ नई शक्ल दे रहे हैं। कभी फ्लाईओवर निर्माण, कभी मेट्रो निर्माण, कभी शॉपिंग माल आदि। शहर रुकता नहीं, यह गतिशील है। संघर्षरत है। जबकि गावों में यह गुण गौण हैं। ग्रामीण जीवन तमाम खुलेपन के बावजूद कई बंदिशों से बंधा रहता है। शहर में तंग गलियां, छोटे घर एवं सड़कों का ट्रैफिक भी आपको इतना नहीं बांधता जितना गावों का पिछड़ापन बांधता है। धार्मिक संलङता अवश्य ही ग्रामीण जीवन की एक सच्चाई है परन्तु यह कतई पिछड़ेपन को तो इंगित नहीं करती। मगर धार्मिक आधार पर रचे हुए आडंबर एवं कुरीतियां ज़रूर ग्रामीण समाज के पिछड़ेपन को परिलक्षित करते हैं। गावों के वातावरण एवं प्राकृत सौंदर्य की भांति यह कुरीतियां कतई मनभावन नहीं लगती। हालांकि अब कई घृणास्पद कुरीतियों का अंत हो चुका है, जातिगत विषमताएं भी पिछली सदी जितनी प्रखर नहीं दिखाई पड़ती। जो दुर...

Modi & Interviews: A Beautiful Love Story

Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India has not faced a single press-conference yet. It hardly makes an impact on his screen-time of media coverage. There's not a single day passed by in last five years when the shows were running out of Modi. India has always been an important country and still it is respected as one. But Prime Ministers weren't always this important. It's not India who got all the glory and significance in these five years but it's the Prime Minister's chair which has suddenly got the enormous importance in these five years. Glory of PM is now greater than that of India. Modi gets credit for every single achievement of India but he does not face any kind of criticism for the failures. Projection of Modi as Mr. Perfect is being done by none other than the fourth pillar of democracy: The Media. Fourth Pillar of the democracy is now extravagantly busy in building the image of PM. After being served by journalists our honorable PM has given...

ESCAPISM

Undoubtedly, BJP possesses the largest number of seats in the parliament comparatively. Does it only show the kind of support BJP is having in this era? Does not it show the responsibilities and expectations of one-fifth population of the globe on Mr. Modi's shoulders? The Prime Minister of the largest democracy would certainly have the heaviest burden on his shoulders and he should behave accordingly. Rather than escaping himself through condemnations, denunciations and disagreements. Disagreements in the democracy is as obvious as death in the life.  A democracy like India which has the population over a billion, one should not get surprised on disagreements on every possible issue & policy. In a democracy it is already expected that there will be differences in opinions and interests on almost every specific issue of common interest. Indeed, this diversity is seen as its main strength and it calls for tolerance for all shades of opinion. One can not even imagine...
