Man and the BEASTS

Man and Religion

One of my friend updated his status on facebook as

“

Humans are very similar to animals when it comes about eating, sleeping, display of fear, and mating. The only thing that differentiates is religion. A man without religion is nothing better than a beast.

”

These words are of none other than the infamous Chanakya or Kautilya of Medivial India, who is said to be the best politician India ever had in that time. His book called Chankya Neeti is the collected work of his and contains the essential knowledge of how to actually be honest and efficient in administration and policy making.

Above cited quotation if presented as such can be of many debates among atheists and theists. People will start giving out many reason why and why not these words are right or not quite so right. But irrespective of the opinion of religious people I would say Religion or No-Religion, we humans are quite behaving like Beasts or worsts than Beast.

When we talk about beast we are talking about some creature with no sense of what so ever and it behavior is determined by its primary needs i.e food, survival, sleep, mating etc. And when we are talking about Human, we are actually indicating to an intelligent society which has its own social rules, lives in society and is bounded by certain rules.

Now first of all Major beast species are highly evolved like humans in fact most of them are here on earth longer than the humans itself. Lions live in strict family rules and to prevent what we call incest mother expels the kids out of their den. Chimpanzee follows its own society rules and they are even headed by a Alpha-male. In fact their society system is somewhat similar to the ancestors of ours. Which makes sense as we are their decedents.

Several castles if flourish in wild also have their own system, which cannot qualify as society but as herd, in which not a particular rule is followed but they show a considerable unity and primitive hierarchy which is based on the who is the most powerful, Alpha-male/female.

Elephants have a female leader in their herd who is all powerful. There are several examples in the mammals who qualifies as beast but shows considerable restraint in their behavior and follows a strict hierarchic, primitive society based system.

Even if you do not look at the beasts, insects tend to show enormous efficiency and unity like Bees, Ants. Who work in the counts of thousand and does not usually fight like humans all the time.

In all the above cited examples the main thing is to note that, though species may be inclined to defend their territory and attack other’s, but no species just leave their territory just out to claim another’s until they are devoid of their own.

Moreover I think they do not have a religion because, they are always struggling for the survival all the time. Trying to complete their basic needs to being alive and to do that they are doing whatever they are evolved for.

Now comparing humans, we have evolved over a rather short period of time, most considerable modification was done in past 10,000 years. Which is why we are young relativistically. Moreover we are not constantly struggle for our life, the complex but secure society had changed our primary needs. Most of us no longer fight for food or for shelter. The complex nature of our thinking and the “humanity” we possess, had ensured that we form a society fabric which makes our chances of survival really great.

So when survival was no longer a fight we created the religion and with time we adapted the religion to our needs. History stands witness as our religions has changed over time just for the sake of our own wish. So that means that Religion is no longer something bigger than man. It is just a philosophy which is formed by the general public, explained by general public and reflected by general public. In fact if you observe closely you will find the interpretation of Religion changes with geography. Hence we can conclude that Religion has little significance on our life what so ever. May be 1% of the total population follows a hard core strict code but that is exception.

More over the destruction we had brought upon this earth. Mass extinction of species, despite of having an active religion which was supposed to help our conscience to evaluate our environment had failed miserable. None of other species tried to capture the territory exclusive of themselves. By this I mean Lions does not cleared out jungles to plains, because they like to live in Savanah. Monkey’s and lions lives in same area and they follow a strict set of food chain.

So in nutshell nobody tried to dislocate the delicate balance of their local ecosystem, except humans.

According to Darwin every species should be fit for survival, those who had not adapted according to the environment got extinct and those who survived flourished. But we are playing with nature which we do not completely understand, We are trying to change the environment to make sure that we do not get extinct and it really does not strike our conscience that in our quest to save the single species we are actually destroying the others. The collective efforts which are being taken to counter this destruction is substantially less.

If I would have to say or rephrase the famous words by chanakya, I would rather say

“

Humans are very similar to animals when it comes about eating, sleeping, display of fear, and mating. The only thing that differentiates is its endless greed. A man without greed is alomost better than a beast.

”

From the Vantage Point: India and Russia.

Since I have taken birth, and gained conscience, I can say that, deep inside I respect Russia. Well this feeling can be reflected by many people inside India. In fact according to a survey 45% Indian says positive things about Russia or Russian Federation. And 78% in Russia or Russian Federation feels positive about India.  

Most of us know Russia because of the support she had provided since India gained independence. But the friendship lies deep with in diverse culture of India and Russia. These two countries enjoy the close friendship, strategic partnership in key areas, and good business across sectors.

It was in late 15^th century when first Russian named Afansasy Nikitin, who was a merchant arrived in Indian Subcontinent and published his travelogue. In 17^th century Indian Businessmen settled in Astrakhan, from where they traded goods across Russia. And from there onwards the trade picked up between two countries, but it soon led to clashes in Modern Day Afghanistan where British Empire and Russian Empire had clashes and disputes over trade and territory.

The great Bolshevik revolution, which also consist of an appeal of Bolshevik leaders to world against Colonial rule had a deep impact over India’s Struggle of freedom. Moreover Lenin was also interested in India, which is evident from his Collected Works, which contains observation on India from 1900-1903.

His exact words in which he praised the Indian Freedom Movement.

“I am glad to hear that the principles of self-determination and the liberation of oppressed nations from, exploitation by foreign and native capitalists, proclaimed by the ‘workers’ and peasants ‘Republic' have met with such a ready response among progressive Indians, who are waging a heroic fight for freedom. The working masses, of Russia are following with unflagging attention the awakening of the Indian workers and peasants. The organization and discipline of the working people and their perseverance and the solidarity with the working people of world are an earnest of ultimate success. We welcome the close alliance of Moslem and non-Moslem elements. We sincerely want to see this alliance extended to all the toilers of the East. Only when the Indian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Persian end Turkish workers and peasant, join hands and march together in the common cause of liberation only then will decisive victory over the exploiters be ensured. Long live a free Asia'.”

And in my opinion, this was the first step towards modern era of friendship between India and Russia. In 1918, The Commissariat of Foreign Relation of Soviet Russia released a Blue Book, which was on the condition of India under British Empire or British India. In the exact words of its editer K. M. Troyanovski

“There can be no general peace without a free independent India .... India is the center of Western activity in the east. India will, therefore, be the first fortress of the Revolution on the Eastern Continent. We, Russian Revolutionaries and inter-national Socialists, feel it our duty to rejoice at the announcement of a revolution in India but also to support this revolution by direct or indirect means and with art our powers.”

It establish the fact that Russia was helping India, even before we (general public) knows it. Moreover Mr. Nehru had great respect for Lenin which was evident in his policies, which was pro socialistic or I can say was almost socialistic in its approach (for more reference to Prime minister Nehru’s policies you can visit National Archives in Delhi).

In the report corresponding to the effect of October revolution in 1918, Secretary of State of India, Edwin Montague and Viceroy of India, Lord Chelmsford admitted that the freedom fighter of the country is inspired by the uproot of Czarist regime of Russia and consider the Soviet Russia as its Friend and not its Enemy.

The influence of Soviet Russia was continuing on Indian Political leadership in 1920’s and 1930’s as well. The visit of Mr. Nehru in to Russia on the occasion of 10^th Anniversary of Bolshevik Revolution proved fruit full as he was able to win the admiration of Russian Leadership. Mr. Nehru had a strong image of Russia, in to his mind and he considered Russia to be an Anti-imperialistic, and is a fortress against war and aggression, ignorance and obscurantism. From his maiden visit he concluded, USSR is a powerful country and it was in best interest of India to be Friendly with this country.  

In 1930’s Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore visited to Russia and he was impressed with the Russia and stated that Indian future depends upon USSR as it is fundamentally against the exploitation of Man by Man and state by a state.

In Second World War the heroic struggle of USSR inspired even Gandhi-ji, who wrote (from his collected works) as

“The Power of the Viceroy is no way less than that of the Czar. We, too, can resort to the Russian remedy against tyranny. The movement in Bengal for the use of Swadeshi goods is much like the Russian movement? Our shackles will break this very day if the people of India become united and patient, love their country and think of the well-being of their motherland disregarding their self-interest. The governance of India is possible only because there exist people who serve.  We also can show the same strength that the Russian people have done”

It has been evident through archives that despite of the offer made by the Indian National Congress to Britain about full support in War if and only if India be granted full freedom, Leaders have sympathy towards USSR and they relied on the constant support of USSR to work forward.

Also it should be noted that formally Indian and Russian Delegates first met in April 1945, in San Francisco Conference of UN. It was there when Vice- President of Interim Govt. Mr. Nehru expressed his interest in cultivating the friendly and favorable relations with both USSR and USA. But the response from US was cold. Also it was evident there itself that India was not going to be in any of the Sides of soon to be polarized world.

On 21^st September 1946, approx. 11 months before the Independence of India, PM Nehru forwarded a letter of formal Diplomatic ties to Moscow, on which a reply came back on October 2^nd, 1946 with warm and positive response.

Mr. Nehru then took the help of V .K. Krishna Menon and K.P.S. Menon (two seasoned Diplomats of India) to establish the Diplomatic relations with USSR. By November, 1946 Mr. Nehru got confirmation from Foreign Minister of USSR V. M. Molotov, for the same.

In April 1947, USSR formally announced the establishment of Diplomatic ties and Exchange of Diplomats, which was seen as approval of Indian Freedom policy.

Mr. Nehru appointed his sister Vijay Laxmi Pandit to be the first ambassador to USSR. On the eve of 15^th, August 1947, USSR greeted India with Freedom message and formally recognized the Indian Govt. and State.

So history tells us that even before common people know, leadership was already in talks with each other and there starts an era of Trust which is still working despite of recent heart-breaks.

In the coming parts of this series you would learn the betrayal of West and how USSR helped India to stand on its own feel.

It will include the Kashmir dispute as well.

Like always, I hope that (essay) was able to improve your knowledge or entertained you, if you feel bored you can always switch back to the Bollywood masala site or play games or kill a few corrupt politician. 

The Love - Hate - game of India and America (USA)

If you are Indian, then this is the most interesting topic for you probably, as I have seen most of people obsessed with how US agencies (spy), can do things in India. In fact if you were in India in the 90's decade and anything goes wrong, Political statement would have come as "This has foreign element in it". Funny is not it, how political leaders, react to cover their in-competency?

But not many people know that, India was a strategic location for Chinese Burma India Theater (CBI) front in Second World War. It was in WW II when American soldiers came to India with lots of money and advance weaponry systems. Moreover it was President Roosevelt who pushed Britain’s Prime Minister Churchill for India’s Independence (partially), but when Churchill threatened him with his resignation, he (Roosevelt) backed out. Also US’s primary interest in India was to Aid China after Second World War. This position of USA was only due to its principal opposition of Colonialism only.

India and America goes way back in 1940's. But the real game Started just after the non alignment movement by Pt.Jawahar lal Nehru,  Sukarno,  Gamal Abdel Nasser, Kwame Nkrumah and Josip Broz Tito.

The Inclination of India towards Russian Federation (then USSR) started when USSR backed the Claim of India over Kashmir, and in year 1955 the Visit of PM of India to USSR and return Visit of USSR's President Khrushchev to India irked Prople’s Republic of China (PRC) and Pakistan. Moreover close alignment of India and Russia was always a problem to USA. And this had serious effects on Indo-American relationship. Moreover even as of day, India is second biggest defense market to Russia.

Soon after the Independence India was busy in its internal development and NAM while Pakistan took this opportunity and joined West Bloc in 1954. Since USSR used this opportunity to back Indian claim over Kashmir, The India- America relation became thorny due to both; backing of Pakistan by USA and India-USSR closeness.

Soon the India China War erupted in 1962 and that was the breather for India as by that time US was trying to counter China Strategically, and gave Support to India in order to Counter China, as She (America) was inclined to stop the socialism from spreading and if India lost very badly against China then it would be serious Blow to US interest in South Asia.

As in 1961-1963 President Kennedy said as

 “Chinese Communists have been moving ahead the last 10 years. India has been making some progress, but if India does not succeed with her 450 million people, if she can't make freedom work, then people around the world are going to determine, particularly in the underdeveloped world, that the only way they can develop their resources is through the Communist system.”

But soon after Kennedy, the relation went back to the cold and thorny as a result of President Nixon’s close working relationship with Pakistan and India’s then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s Inclination towards USSR. To add to the chill, US not only supported openly in 1971 Indo-Pak ware but also deployed its aircraft carrier to attack Indian Army base (according to recently declassified papers). Due to that the relation was more of Hate than love and It remained like that till President Clinton came to visit India in 2000.

IN 1998, when India did the nuclear test, there was severe sanctions on India by US. But it has little effect on India as at that point of time Indo – US trade only contributed around 2 % of overall GDP of India. Moreover India was a growing economy and only JAPAN aided with US to impose direct relationship with India.

But due to Economic reasons these sanctions was lifted soon, but high tech was still out of Reach from India.

Meanwhile as usual Russia and India maintained their close alignment in defense field and was also increasing it to economic and other areas.

In 2000 President Clinton visited India, and it was marked as a new era of working relationship with US. From 2000 to September 2001 the relation was neutral as both country was cautious about what to do.

But the after math of the 9/11 attacks over world trade tower changes the perspective and by 2005, India was recognized as the strategic partner of US. Both US secretary of Defense and Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited India to cut several deals of defense as well as civilian nature.

The presidency of G.W.Bush II was marked with its foreign policy to work with India and iron out the differences and to increase the bilateral trade, which is as of now stands as 20 billion of imports and 30 billion as export to US. In 2006 when Bush visited India, it was a different season already.

The long winter of hatred had passed and now was the spring of friendship. His initiative of nuclear deal was really a tough thing to implement as it generated lot of resistance in India.  But at the end the pact was signed and way was clear to import nuclear materials for power plants.

Since the change in the Presidency of Bush to Barak Obama, the whole affair has been stagnant or can be called as maturing, as no special initiative was taken from Obama Administration to form a better working relationship with India.

Still while two nations are walking hand in hand for the curb of terrorism, Human Trafficking and certain other issues. It needs to noted that US still supplies Pakistan a Huge Aid , while that money has been routed to Extremist and used against India.

The though India and US has signed a pact for sharing intelligence but the agencies lack the coordination and motive to do that. The partial stand on the Islamic Extremist in Taliban and that of Seria along with Stance on Tehran (Iran) has also created its difference between two nations,

Moreover the Recent US slowdown, and second attempt to raise the Debt ceiling has profound effect on New Delhi. Today in this situation, the demand is of close collaboration and it is evident that both could not do without each other.

At the end I could say that the story of India – America started like a traditional Bollywood movie, first the hatred, then attitude and then converted into friendship.

The Mere Mediocrity

Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes it fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.

The moment you take birth on this earth, you are in a race. This race is a rat race where you start running since the moment you are born and there is no escape except death. 

Now most of us who are really fortunate as we can still enjoy some luxuries of life but still we cant elude the race. 

This rat race, has a by product which is called mediocrity. I am not social scientist to explain how it really work but here is my thought. As per society norms there can be only one champion. The person who has best of everything, in life, which can be measured in the scale of money. 

and after that there is positions 1 to 10. 

Just after that mediocrity starts and goes till less than very end. Most of us lies in this mediocrity and will never try to be champion(overall) of life as the rat race is too demanding. 

The moment we are born we are already in two kinds of rat race, one which was started by our parents and one which was started the moment you are born. Now parents are already in race so all the decision made by them are influenced by the race itself. for example you needs to study, and theoretically you study all most same kind of books everywhere, so why to make you study in most expensive school? the decision of your schooling, your friends, your acquaintances are all a direct result of their(your parents') choices. Hence you own a part of personality of your parents. 

Now Since your parents are not at top ( i am assuming that average reader is a mediocre), nor at bottom, you inherit mediocrity before you know what actually that means. A child's personality is a mixture of its parents and teachers, as most of the research had proved that both (parents and teachers) had great influence on him. So child is a at most mediocre in his early stages until he starts to understand that what does it means to fail and to be at top. 

The most notable thing is that our society does not actually approve the failures, despite of the fact that most of the leaders who had been unsuccessful earlier but is successful now says that failures are good. In fact most scientist says do not be disheartened by failures. 

Though our text book screams to take risks and get rewarded, in fact the stories also reflect the same phenomena. Once a brave prince took great risk to free a damsel in distress is exactly what we are taught.

But at the same time upon failure there is no one to support that prince and metaphorically today's Youth is that prince who have to win on all costs. 

Upon practical grounds no is no error of margin, by the virtue(actually vice) of TV and Social Media you are already in a pressure of doing exactly what others are doing and hence your chance of actually doing something new or something which can lead to the top diminish rapidly. 

Society actually wants people to be stable financially as soon as studies are finished. The expectation of a Job, stable and financially secure leads strait to mediocrity.

So when you try to become stable asap, you leave the opportunities which can reward you handsomely and can make you reach the top. You ignore the opportunities which had high risk high reward scenario and why you do it is because of your mental conditioning was in such a way that you automatically take decision in favor of low paying certainty than high paying uncertainty. 

Now some countries had a better time like USA in 1800 - late 1900 when the society there actually encouraged its its people to take up more risk and reach the top. 

Also the dangerous mindset of the mediocrity, with which we are suffering has started to seep in our culture and working. When it happens the progress stalls as people focus on whats certain, or whats available. They fails to anticipate the changes which are about to come. 

At the end, i can say that the Mere Mediocrity will someday leads us to stalled progress ( not completely) in most of the challenging areas, though there will always be a few who will defy the risk and move ahead, but that would be select group of people ( even now those people can be counted on fingers). and hence you and me can never be the winner until we shed the whole bloody bulshit mindset.

The Just Anger

I am a businessman and one thing I can tell you about it that you can’t afford of be angry and you want your customers angry with whatever are you selling. My point? We will see

Although almost all the religions in the world press for fact that the world exist because someone with supreme power want it to exist. Also, the destruction of the world will also be called by the same God. Moreover, it is also to be taken into account that same religions also say that god or a part of God resides in us as well.

The fact that is accepted almost all the religions is that nothing goes without the wish or permission of God.

Metaphorically asking will you kill your own child? If yes then I think God’s anger is Just.

Now coming to the main point The Just (right) Anger.

Anger is the basic instinct of human nature, and it brings aggression into expression in a rather cruel way. With the advances of race and society we can say that the form in which anger is expressed has changed considerably, we are more subtle in expressing anger on a generalized scale, or on the other side we have seen act of anger in which a single entity or person has done severe damage, which was considered impossible back in 1900.

The justification of anger is a thing which is as abstract as modern art. You can derive your own conclusion and it may only be partially right. Even right Questions look like wrong when referenced to a special circumstances, there is no universal guidelines.

And this is what I am trying to convince. That there is no justification of Actions done under the influence of Anger.

All of us face the time when our impulse ask us to take action, which can have drastic result in our life. But consider this in most of our movies (if we assume that movies reflect the generalized mood of cinema) reflect that hero actually fight villain when he is very angry.

Does that anger falls under the category of Just? Because someone hurt you and you retaliate and beat that person in return will that anger qualify for Just Anger?

The Govt. when face the Tremendous task of showing patience in front of a agitation, fails and use force against its own people. They argue that this is affecting the bigger population. But here the question remains the same. Does this anger qualify for Just (right) Anger?

In fact the action of State as an Authorized killer in the name of the justice can’t be called justice when the state itself calls that it act upon the path set by someone who had followed the path of God.

The Example of whole Muslim world and Vatican and Bible following world is an example.

Moreover the offence of one man can be the act of urgency to another man, even it can be act of self-defense, or act done in unstable state of mind. As we all know Anger is the state when person is not really oneself. And no matter what happens that anger can’t be Just (right) anger universally.

All the above instance prove that when human evolved into some complex society- city- dwelling creature, the emotional fabric which hold us is so flexible that it covers all the actions and the irony is the appearance of this fabric i.e. emotions is such that we feel that there is no emotions left in someone while that person is simply acting on his own anger (which can be expressive in the form of hatred)

I can say there is No Just anger ( as opposite to most religions which says that the world will be doomed by apocalypse as we are sinner and God will destroy the world as a result of overloading of sins)

Even God can’t explain the Justification of anger itself.  

Once again if you are enlighten by this reading that’s really awesome, otherwise you can read some good book by some really good writer! Good luck to that.

Your comments are welcome

We the (Helpless) People and Them the (mighty) Government

The Political Drama which is being played almost everywhere is simple amusing. Amusing because it is telling a story of betrayal. Yes, Government acting like a wolf in the skin of a sheep. Metaphorically speaking it is exactly the scenario when your protector becomes your predator. 

Look at the conditions around you and ask yourself why there is nothing being done to tackle the US Debt Scenario. Why Govt is holding a nation at ransom? It is so common that some government does even bother to ask their citizen about what they want. All of this in the name of Democracy. 

When intelligent men (does not matter of which nationality) does made the constitution, and set the guidelines to guide the management of the country about how to help people progress, they gave us a fair idea that politicians and leaders should be more concerned about progress of people which include all section of the society. 

Sometimes I wonder if those politician really consider that society consist of real people, as it is evident when they form a policy they are more concerned about numbers. They fail to see the emotional side of their own constituency and the only concern which remains is how to earn more money. This is more evident when you see President of United states implementing OBAMACARE or affordable care act. In India, it is NREGA. There are so many implementations which are not people centered but money centered. People Who are high up in the system and had access to luxuries fails to understand the condition of real people at the ground level.
These decision taken by selected few like granting the licence of a mine, calculating minimum support price of the essential commodities, price of the diesel ( developing countries) and  setting regulation on labor etc. This list is endless.

We understand that Dictator Regime does not have any concern about the public mindset. But to topple the Govt. and people of one's country, it is must that the public or part of public itself support the Dictator at the first hand. Without a good support in a bigger population (say millitary), a person cant not topple the existing government. Similarly Monarchy needs support from its subjects and without the support of the machinery, which practically runs the management of the country no Dictatorship or Military can survive.

Recent example of Arab Spring, and China's Revolt has shown that no Govt can suppress the voice of people for forever. But still we can see that lots of Democracies, who are proud on them selves are putting the business first and all in the name of the progress. Their policy making is not favored in the side of common people but for the Businessman and contractors. Also the major associations which assist government in policy making represent Business and Capitalistic Mindset which at the end are concerned about their own fat paychecks.

Now Look at the Govt Itself, any recent decision of any govt in the world be it INDIA, USA, GREECE, IRELAND, FRANCE it is the pocket of common man who is at stake, not of politician. No Court of Law convicted those politician who had done the financial crime, in fact no body charged President Bush and Obama for mass-murder in IRAQ and Afghanistan. Half of 2008 meltdown senate is still active in politics. And in India same politician who are convicted for serious crimes are made fit to run for election.

Common man today is fighting all the time for its own survival, yes survival from loans, mortgages, taxes and all. He does not have time to think about the Politics and bloody policymakers. This is how Government play with us, they make us chase own own tail and get into tailspin.

there is No solution to this problem as the history suggest that  this game will continue till the end, but governments can be more sensitive by including society in decision making and hence empowering people.
Till then it will always be a We the (Helpless) People and Them the (mighty) Government

NaMo, RaGa and the Great Indian-i-sation of American Life

There is lot of furor over PappuPedia (for Rahul gandhi) and Feku ( feku.in for Narendra Modi) in India now a days as both of them present a promise and determination to get the work done.
or  I should probably rephrase that into "Both RaGa and NaMo are excellent source of Boardroom and Drawing room entertainment."

The reticent nature of the RaGa and exactly opposite nature of the NaMo has put the Secular people of India in a great jeopardy. RaGa is from a great family whose history and contribution to India's Ascend and Decent (Recent Corruption ) cant be questioned but he lacks as basic understanding of how things work on ground where as NaMo is from a background which has given him a great understanding of what needs to be done on the ground level.
That may be the reason why Narendra Modi had been successful in Gujarat. His Style of Dictative measures has left the opposition crying for foul play but since he knows how to tackle the people as well as opposition he has got results.
In the case of RaGa, He lacks this style but this has been compensated by a extremely loyal top brass of the AICC, who is eagerly waiting for him to accept the leadership.

The biggest democratic drama in the world has already been started and with time it will only be getting worse in terms of personal attacks on Politicians by the Politicians and for the Politics. Both parties are in unique position as BJP has openly declared a PM candidate who has a blight on his track record as in form of communal violence and riots, on the other hand Congress (Indian National Congress) is in more difficult situation. She has not declared a PM candidate, and its principal leader Sonia Gandhi can't assume the post as being of foreign origin ( birth place Italy), she has to overcome the sentiment of being an outsider. Moreover Public is guessing about RaGa accepting the responsibility of PM i.e. "will he do it or not", and this is where the problems arise.
In  last two years there have been lots of audits and in that lots of scandals have been unearthed and had tarnished the Leadership of congress. Now it has one good leader who had charisma to lead from the front, but has not been named the leader yet, which makes the whole thing confusing from a stand point of public.
Public has to choose between a Newly Secular NaMo  led BJP and Left-centric leader-less Congress, who have been brought to ground by its own leaders.

More over the whole Second Term of the NDA Govt has been a showcase of stalled and decision less govt, PM was crippled by his own allies and legislators, most of his ministers were known for throwing public raging comments than to do work. Hence people start talking about measures to register NOTA(none of the above) option in elections(which has been mandated by the supreme court).

Now here comes the American angle as nothing is complete without mentioning USA. So some really intelligent people started calling out reform in parliamentary system  and to change our PM led Govt to President led Govt, to put a stable president who can take decision and make things work. Current time is the Best time to learn that Even Presidential system is faulty and President's own party will not support him when he needs them most.
At the end it is same everywhere, in parliamentarian system of Governance. Govt is highly unstable and it leads to cajole of Offices and Bribes and hence less-work get done on ground, where as in presidential system it is crippled by personal agenda of legislators.

Now this relates with Indian Condition well as Both Leaders of Both parties have charisma, ability to lead. But the racicent nature of Rahul Gandhi is making his Supporters to loose confidence and NaMo's suporters to gain momentum. Now it would be interesting to see,  how a riot tarnished political leader who is riding high on newly found Financial Success of his home state handle much more complex problem related to Indian Demographics and for RaGa it would be to come out into front and lead his supporters to win the lost trust of people.

So this is it. If you have become more intelligent after reading this article please let me know but if you do not like please simply close the browser and read something good on Hindu or CNN Good day.
