Arindam Chaudhary, Arvind Kejriwal & Those Unknown

"Every act of Congress will be the last nail on its coffin" Jai Hind!

I was relatively young when I finished a brain storming book 'The great Indian dream' by Arindam Chaudhary. His ideas upon soft-capitalism and LSP (Life style parity) has always been my source of dreaming fairer governance in India. 
After reading the thoughts of Sri Narayana Murthy in his book 'Better India, Better World' which precisely summarized to me as Capitalism the only option to get India of dream. I pulled myself back to Capitalism but with a lot of questions!

Reading Amartya Sen and Ayub Khan on Micro-Finance, Sri Kurian on Co-operatives. I tilted again to Socialism. It kept on zig-zag every time I was reading thoughts of world's most precious minds for a common cause i.e. betterment of humanity. Only after jacking myself into this budding group called IAC (India Against Corruption) things started to get permanent in my memories.  

It is not easy landing on it anyway! I was in class second when my Dad declared me 'a politician to be' but I was clueless about what will I do as a politician. He (Dad) suggested me to read the world and I will have my path. I eventually did (except my syllabus books :p). It is a long journey of reading every one.... one by one from Gandhi to Nehru, Patel, Ghodse, Shashtri, Indira, Rajeev, Osho, Obama and Lincoln along with Geeta Piramal, Rashmi Bansal, Nandan Nilenkhani... with them I got my mission as a politician. 

Out of many things that one can do as good politician, I chose one i.e. EDUCATION for every common man. I have decided what I will be doing as a politician... 
It only when I read an infamous dialog of Winston Churchill "One cannot win election on the grounds of self's  achievements but only at the cost of opponents mistakes" this statement repeated by L K Advani after 2004 debacle of NDA. I munched upon his statement only to believe that politics is a dirty game. A sweet bitter effect charred a sensation through my spine. It was enough to shake me away from my path. As an MBA scholar, it was easy for me to get away from politics so I parted ways from my dream only to realize 'distance always inflames love' which actually blazed me inside me.
It was the time when I first published my article in Sahara Times 'Origins of Reservation' when Indian youths were awakening in the flame of 'Youth for equality' in 2006. Recession played the role of financial terrorism immediately after that up-rise of youngsters of India shunned the awakening process but only for a while. 

Anna triggered it again... It was powerful like never before. It was game changing, it was a force which nudged ahead every youth who were having desires of joining politics for the better of India. India of dream of Gandhi has started to actualize... 

It is not fortune which plays, it is not brain which plays, it is not muscles which plays any role in politics... It is GUTS which plays and knocks down everyone dares to counter the storms of your desires. Birth of Kejriwal in this newly created landscape of young politics has levelled the  play ground is one such birth of GUTS. 
It needs ideologies of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose to establish a governance for the people, by the people and of the people. It needs courage to believe that social construction of India cannot be in the fabric of capitalism. Democracy is illusion of public rule. Something new is coming... India Against Corruption is rising.... let me remind you the Lala Lajpat Rai's statement "Every act of Congress will be the last nail on its coffin" 
Post your views here! Jai Hind!

While AAP seems a good alternative, unfortunately Kejriwal & Co have not said anything beyond corruption. Removing corruption is one part; promoting efficiency, competence and development is the other. Having an anti-industry stance is not going to help (from where did he get the figure of 5L crore tax sops). For capital intensive projects, like infrastructure, power, telecom etc.; no one will invest without incentives that will help them to break even in a reasonable time frame. And finally everything is inter-related; if the big business man is squeezed, he in turn will squeeze his suppliers, employees (aam aadmi) and so on. We live in an interconnected world, so the “we against them” stance doesn’t help.

Dear Shayari,
It is indeed a thoughtful observation you made in AAP. In defense I must say that 'one task at one time' let they do it with corruption other things will follow.
I agree with you that our society is cyclically connected where 'have nots' or aam admi has a lot to do with the 'haves; or the ruler class.
But this shouldn't be the basis of justifying extortion! and if it does it should be liable to condemn. Now it again a human limitations that when you condemn something you do it with everything which is related to that particular thing. It is not right either but I must say we are destructing older building only to construct new. better and beautiful. Hope you agree with me too. Thanks for your views. JV

My letter to Mr. Chetan Bhagat

Sent to bhakti@chetanbhagat.com  as on 26, August 2013, In response to Mr. Bhagat's Article  Sunday Times, 25th August 2013, Indore Edition  Dear Mr. Bhagat, This is awful that a person of your stature is out rightly supporting a cult publicly. Knowing that millions of youth will be influenced by your opinion, you should have behaved more responsibly in public. We know media is sold to Modi and international big brothers want to use Modi cult by giving rest to UPA for at least a term. For international diplomacy BJP & Congress are all alike. While these two national parties will keep wrestling over their core ideologies of being Hindu Nationalists & Secular Nationalists, they will always settle on the economic policies favoring to international markets. They will be ready to provide free flow accessibility of Indian consumers & natural resources to foreign corporate giants. It is sadly termed as a real growth of India. Because if foreign inve...

The Cusp of Democracy & Autocracy

A country where earning Rs.18 a day tags you not poor, Election Commission spends Rs.73 per voter to conduct the general election  - Jitendra Rajaram "O ut of 123 democratic countries in the world, not a single country is 100% democratic. Not a single democracy conducts 100% impartial election. In India where 36% population lives in a $1 a day, the cost of election is more than $1 a vote. The irony doesn't end here! The political parties conesting in such elections have spent more $13 to woo every single elector in 2019 General Election of India. Owing the amount of money spent, should we call it a democracy or plutocracy? Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klass wrote in the first page of their book “How to Rig an Election” with a statement “The greatest political paradox of our time is this: there are more elections than ever before, and yet the world is becoming less democratic”. The book written by Nic Cheeseman & Brian Klass, Harper Collins Publication | Yale Univers...

Theocracy Strengthens Aristocracy and Defies Democracy.

"It was easy in ancient time for religions to progress for two reasons. One every civilization was miles apart from every other civilization" - Jitendra Rajaram   "T he mixture of fear and weakness among the people who surrenders to feudalism has enlarged the idea of God-ism. The theory first coined by the power hungry ruling class and their serfs. People, when united, are the ultimate power. The select few (ruling class) always wanted to control this power of people. The control of power is all about channelizing the energy it holds. This is how the need of an imaginary superpower evolved. A superpower which can channelize the energy of united people. Ruling class invented this imaginary power to tame the real power (i.e. people).  Had I ONLY been introduced to anyone of Brahma or Allah or Moses or Christ during my childhood I would have easily believed upon god. The creators of God (i.e. Ruling Class) have devised so circumventing methods to establish...
