Indian Muslims Are Intelligent People Mr Secular

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Today lalu cried foul as mulayam joined him. Lalu accused congress of undergoing a deal to get nuclear liability bill passed in parliament. Deal which would see narendra modi getting clean chit from CBI for sohrabuddin case while bjp in turnsupporting congress led upa in getting bill passed.

The bill needs to be passed before obama comes calling to India in november. So on periphery the opposition’s argument looks logical . After all weren’t mulayam , lalu and even mayawati saved from cbi by congress when congress needed them. So since they themselves have seen such deal and have been part of it , they know such thing can happen.

Here deal or no deal is not as important issue for both lalu and mulayam. The issue is getting muslim votes and securing them. Narendra modi as we all know is believed to be man behind gujarat riots . Narendra modi like bal thackeray is believed by many right wing believers as their savier in what they call as Jihad and encircling of India by fanatics of Islam.

Ironically secular parties have used fears among minorities , specially muslims to get their votes. The same weapon of fear is being used by right wings to get hindu votes!!!!!!!!!. Those hindus who succumb to the fear quite often vote for them while many hindus vote for them because they like their ideology and nothing wrong in it. In same way many muslims vote for

congress or mulayam or mayawati not because of fear but because of what they claim to stand for. But use of fear is one of primary ways for secular parties to get muslim and other minority votes!!!!!!

Coming to another aspect of minorities and Indian muslims. Well if you are Indian ,it is likely that you are aware about sarchar comittee report.If not google it. According to the report in last 63 years , position of muslims in India is not very encouraging. This figures are inspite of secular party being in control for majority of years!!!!!!!!!!!

Why?. Is it that secular parties dont belief in upliftment of muslims or poor or dalits?. Answer is no and answer is very simple. Answer is that political brass of subcontinent region have single religion. That is called power seekers an their deity is power.They may be congress or sp or bjp or mqm or ppp or any. Their entire efforts is to get in power and fear sells, fear works . When pakistan was created by jinnah , getting dominated by hindus specially pundits theme . Now there is not such threat in pakistan . Since religion is no issues , region is.

Coming to India we have religion as tool since we have so many religions which can produce votes and if religion doesnot work , caste does and when caste doesnot work well region is always there.

What surprises me is that after so many years still politicians can think that Indian muslims and minorities can be fooled.They can use their fears and concerns to get votes. They might have got their purposes served in past but can this work forever?. Suppose some minority turns majority in say 100 years , some other lalu or mulayam would then use hindus for votes!!!!!!!!

I know many muslims some of whom are close friend of mine. I dont know whom they vote , neither do I ask them. In same ways they dont ask me questions about whom I vote. Our relationship is time tested and survived one of worst riots . What binds us is mutual respect , dreams , sharing without predujice ,goals , supporting each other , cheering each other. It doesnot require same religion to be friends. Beneath layers of religion and caste is human being who dreams , aspires , wants to give best to family , wants to enjoy small happiness which comes along with day to day life.

Religion is for making good human beings not dividing humans. Religion is for moral life not we v/s they theme. Indian muslims are intelligent people and this so called secular parties need to understand this. Instead of using fear as theme , they need to work for betterment of all including majority. Idea of India was that irrespective of caste , creed and religion  a person would be able to live life full of diginity , self respect and work for his/her betterment. Our constitution is perfect document for enabling every citizen to live good life , what is needed is just implementation of the document in letter and the spirit.

My dream for future politics in India is debate about all citizens and not tagging them in name of religion or caste or gender. Politics which is inspiring for every Indian. India where religion becomes private matter and when anyone walks out of his/her house , being Indian matters and all are treated equal.

Indian Politicians Need Course On Mannerism

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

1) Deve Gowda had abused cheif minister of karnataka Mr B S Yeddyurappa on camera . Though he later apologized , it showed how ex prime minister conducts his life

2) Congress MLA of madhya pradesh taunted BJP woman MLA. Comments were that she might have got late because , she might have gone to beauty parlor.

Now this congress MLA needs to explain that what would be his comments when rahul gandhi might turn late.

Yes one must never be late but such comments are unacceptable

3) Mulayam Singh yadav made following comments while opposing women reservation bill

“If the Women’s Reservation Bill would be passed in its present form, it would help women belonging to the families of industrialists and bureaucrats, who were of the kind youths would want to whistle at.”

He was addressing a rally. Coming from a party chief such comments are un desirable

4) BJP party chief gatakari equated lalu and mulayam’s stand during cut motion to lion turned dogs .

“Woh Sonia ke talwe chatne waale kutte hain,” was his comments about lalu and mulayam singh yadav

Even at times top leaders like sonia gandhi and vajpayee has erred..Sonia called narendra modi ‘maut ka saudagar’ forgetting that narendra modi was chief minister who is constitutional head .

Atal bihari vajpayee’s infamous statement was ‘hum kunvaare hain’ in response to sonia’s vidvah comments.

Ironically these politicians are representative of Indian people and may be the way they comment , the way they carry themselves in reflection of us?. But as leader it is they would are expected to show the way and not other way round , isn’t it?

May be we can add course on mannerism in future for all our representatives.

When Nehru Died

Monday, March 1st, 2010

A USSR stamp,
Image via Wikipedia

Jawaharlal Nehru , our first prime minister , one of greatest leader and one of most charismatic prime minister of India had died on 27th may ,1964. He was undisputed tallest leader at that time of India. Gandhiji had died many years ago and so were subhash , sardar and all other main leaders of Indian Freedom Struggle.  While i would write about nehru’s term as prime ministers , his major contributions , his major failures , today i would like to write about how people reacted to his death.  When nehru died my dad was in pune. He was attending his friend’s wedding. Wedding was on 26th and reception was on 27th. When news came in of nehru’s death , reception was cancelled.  Nation was observing grief for 3 days officially and people did abide to it voluntarily. Even restraurants were closed and rickshaws , taxi too remained close. Such was level of respect of Leader in those era.  Even lal bahdur shastri was so influential in his time that when he made appeal to nation to give up one time food , once a week , he did get great response to his appeal.  Times have changed since then. Jaisa raja , vaisi praja aur jaisi praja vaisa raja. We have lost faith in politicians . Corruption , asset in crores , only bol vachan have become synonyms of politicians ..  But we are still patriot lot ..Aren’t we..

A To Z Of Indian Politics

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

While in school we are taught a for apple , b for ball and such stuffs , school of politics of India has entirely different teaching. Here is how it looks like :

A for Aam Aadmi : India is very diverse country with all major religions , various languages , caste living in one country. But chiefly there are only two set of people. Aam and Khaas. aam includes 99% of people of India while khaas includes top business and corporate heads , IAS ,IPS and political brass . Of course with their families. So since aam aadmi is majority , Indian politics runs of claims of doing wonders for aam aadmi and ending up doing wonders for khaas!!!!!!!!

B for Babri Mashjid :

It is very sensitive issue involving two major religions in India . Hinduism and Islam. But for Indian politics babri is important issue to divide and get votes. Secular takaat is defined by those who didnt participate in babri and communal are those who did participate.

While this is fading into being no issue with urban masses but it still continues to form psychic of people who actually vote.

C for Caste :

Not important factor is metros and mega cities , caste is still a very important social issue and form basis of votes. Mayawati’s social engineering concept and her massive victory showed how caste matters in politics.

D for Delhi :

Its dream of all political parties. Har karam apna karenge ae kurshi tere liye is slogan of all . Now just Indian politicians , a defense expert according to pakistanis and comedian according to Indian , Zaid Hamid also dreams of ruling delhi someday!!!!!!!!

E for Election Commissioner :

A person who is not liked by all political parties but are left with no option but to obey his orders!!!!!

F for Farmers :

Farmers committing suicide is blamed on previous government ,farmer loan waver is taken credit by all . Sugar cane price becomes issue for which all political parties try to take credit

G for Gandhi :

No. Its not mahatma gandhi. Mahatma gandhi is for 2nd october and international branding. For Indian politics gandhi is indira gandhi , rajeev gandhi , sonia gandhi and rahul gandhi. Ohh i forgot priyanka gandhi , varun gandhi and ofcourse menka gandhi.

If its congress politicians , pledge loyality to sonia gandhi and rahul gandhi is obligatory . If politician is from other party opposing this gandhi family is number one thing .

H for Hindi :

Ask raj thakeray and abu azmi , how a language can be made into issue and score political points using that.

I for Industrialization :

For details ask communist on singur issue!!!!!!

J for Junta :

Faceless community which can be manipulated , divided and used for political mileage.

K for Karunanidhi :

One cannot make government in delhi without his support. UPA has it , NDA had it. Karunanidhi is ingredient without which no political collation recipe seems complete.

L for Lal Krishna Advani :

He dreamt of becoming prime minister but that dream was never realized. Lal krishna advani would be judged in history of modern India who practically polarised the votes by his babri campaign.

Lately he tried to correct his image but he could never succeed in it.But even after retirement he would be part of indian politics being in psychic of Indian voters , specially right wings and minorities.

M for Madam/Mamta/Maya :

Dial M for Indian Politics. Indira gandhi was one big madam of Indian politics and now we have mayawati , mamta and madam sonia gandhi. Indian politics has had femine power which has potential to rule . They can be bully at times , they can be ruthless at times but largely they are good for running their parties giving one success after another.

N for Naxals :

Naxals is said to be biggest threat to country. But for political reasons effective counter naxal strategy becomes difficult to be formed. Lalu blames communist who blame mamta who blames again communist. So its merry go round and naxals keep on striking.

They are india’s taliban. While taliban of pakistan want to implement their version of a holy book , naxals want to implement their version of holy book called mao , marx and lenin theories.

O is For Opposition :

A position in parliament which gives license to go for rampage . A position which is not liked to be held by any party and goal remains to get out of this position at any cost.

P is For paisa , power and parliament :

While goal is to reach parliament , the other two Ps are side product of reaching parliament and for some main goal.

Q is For Quitting Party :

Ability to quit party and forming own party is key to political success. But it can back fire too. Famous and successful quitters are sharad pawar , mamta banerjee , chandra shekhar and upcoming is raj thackeray.

R is For Regionalization :

Divide and divide and divide. Golden mantra of Indian Politics since eternity. Why only maharathi manoos?. Manoos for every state and win state election , send one or two mps to center , support center government and get job done.

S is For Secularism :

A term which is undefined in Indian politics. While official definition means position that religious belief should not influence public and governmental decisions; The related political belief in the separation of religion and state but largely secularism in India is used as term to keep right wing out of government. Often countered by right wing by word calle pseudo secularism.

T is For Terrorism :

Terrorism is not modern phenomena but lately this has seen rise in leaps and bounds. Weak government , strong government , terrorism and religion etc are important political issues.

U is for Unity under Obligation :

Other name is coalition which is practise of current Indian politics.

V is for Votes :

Vote ka mamla hai dilbar , khalbhali hai brain ke andar. Votes is right given to people to pass verdict about who would rule them. Votes designed to give power to people has been nicely used by politicians. Those who understand are lazy enough to vote and others who vote are lazy enough to understand!!!!!!!

W is for Wealth :

No need to elaborate . In time of recession one buisness strives.

X is for X-Factor :

This x-factor is unseen factor which has largely remained undefined. Is it charisma or is it in born?. Good speakers but bad implementers or ability to loose memory once elected. Its something in politicians that make them impossible to be ignored , impossible to give up and impossible to remember their election promises.

Y is for Yes Sir/Madam :

The ability to re assure leaders of respective parties about loyalty , about their way of thinking and in turn being able to survive in highly lucrative career.

Z is for Zero Hour :

An hour designed to raise questions to government and not infamous for absenteeism in parliament.
