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.
