When we say unity in diversity it is not empty rhetoric. If
you travel across India you will be amazed by diversity. I ve not been to
foreign country but based on what I ve read and documentaries I have seen the
diversity is unmatched. Lets take example of our beloved neighbour Pakistan (
:P ), they could not accept the diversity in spite of being formed on religious
line. As a result, a new country Bangladesh was formed. From language to
religion India is unique.
Perhaps the purpose of this piece is not to discuss history
rather look at contemporary political scenario in India and how few people try
to create the divide. Though I endorse atheism yet to make my theist fellow
readers I can swear that our framers of constitution were very much secular and
perhaps based on my till date reading and understanding, at the time of writing our
constitution ours was one of the best and most modern. We owe a lot to our
fellow brothers in France and US for their beautiful constitution. When most of
Kings in 1700 were busy in their mundane activities the foundation of modern
world was being laid in US FRANCE AND UK. The cry for democracy in France is
the cornerstone in world history. Lets fast forward it and come to 1885 when INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS was formed. DON’T GET CONFUSED IT WITH PRESENT DAY
CONGRESS BECAUSE THIS CONGRESS IS CONGRESS (I) i.e CONGRESS (INDIRA) formed
after various divisions in 1970s.
The INC of 1885 was one of the very very important key in national integration. People from all walks
of life joined it to fight against British, Kings and zamindars. Coming back to
1950 when India framed its constitution it was one of the very few countries in
the world which gave universal suffrage to both the genders. In
Switzerland women got voting rights only in 1971 !!! If kings were
considered God then our modern God should be the framers of our constitution. I
can bet even the most communal person on earth after sitting in PMO will not be
able to do any wrong because of the nitty –gritty of our constitution. Having
said that I don’t mean Modi is communal.
Narendra Modi is perhaps the most witch- hunted politician
in our media. Who knows if media would not have done so much witch hunting Modi
might be called to a successful CM like Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Raman Singh
Naveen Patnaik and others. Even negative publicity is publicity! For every
election media held the public responsible saying that they are communal as if
people wanted to kill each other! I have travelled to nearly 22 states in India
from north to south to east to west. I really couldn’t find blood thirsty
Indian. They are singing the same song today. Again media is saying that
election is ‘’polarised’’ i.e people are voting on religion lines! People have
not voted to Modi because of his religion but for a bright future. They thought
that he can get them prosperity. How much public will prosper only time will
tell but for god’s shake stop telling people that those who said ayes to Modi
are communal. With the beginning of Social Media now editors are facing stiff
competition as nobody is buying their shits. Please come out of your comfort
zone and travel to different parts you will understand religion, language takes
a back seat when people want to improve their life. Lalu Yadav is unhappy and
calling the election as polarised because he could not fool the people by
saying, ‘’ hey, those people will kill all the minority’’. Lalu to Mulayam to
Rahul everybody felt so!
Barring BJP, JDU, CPM and newcomer AAP none of the other
party are democratic. All other run a mom and pop store and their source of
inspiration is congress. Congress has no respect for those who descend the
Gandhi family. During emergency I.K Gujaral was information and broadcasting
minister, Indira Gandhi (PM) reprimanded him as he didn’t bend the rules to
peep into what Doordashan was showing unbiased news against the atrocities of
emergency. She immediately replaced him with a boot licker. Compare this with
today when DD News censored an opposition PM candidate’s interview!
Congress has long history of boot licking
sycophancy. The real reform hero PVN Rao was denied all the praises as he was
not those boot lickers. Even Pranav Da was not the first choice to be President
as he is not ‘’Yes Mam’’ person.
It high time that India stops appraising these “Mom and
Pop’’ party. These parties will do everything to make you afraid of democratic
parties. They will rule as long as illiteracy and poverty prevails.
GO MODI, FULFILL THE 125crore DREAMS OR ELSE JANTA MAAF NAHI KAREGI :)
