In this confused world people fight for things not proved to be existing (personal gods) & ignore the things present everywhere (suffering s of fellow humans)... and the so called gods cant improve an inch of the situation. .. strange!

The story of an “iconic” PM
3 yrs ago when Dr. Manmohan S. was virtually gifted the post of Prime minister ship, every Tom Dick & Harry articulated paronomasias both within the congress and the opposition about him being the puppet & a dummy PM with reins resting with Sonia Gandhi. No one was ready to acknowledge the fact that the nation had got a well deserving erudite personality at the top position and things could change for the future, with every future PM’s credentials being compared with his impressive ones.
He started showing his clout & firmness with just few months in office through issues like getting Natwar S. expelled when he challenged him & snubbing HRD minister for his domineering decision by keeping non-aided institutions out of OBC quota and later by single handedly formulating the joint mechanism with Pak president. He reinforced the respect and the value he has in his party by making it pseudo mandatory for the Congress to stand by him on the Nuclear Deal issue which he single handedly clinched from US. His significance & purport in the party can be easily assessed by the fact that the party which could have ruled easily for 2 years more is ready to give up the ruling position and go to elections just because of the PM’s cogent stand and the obvious prestige of his associated with the deal.
This positive message means a lot to the congress party and the Indian political system that the men of integrity are respected and not let down even in a system which is seen to be the most doomed one.

“The man of words and actions”, “the man of no nonsense”
“The man of words and actions”, “the man of no nonsense”. These aphorisms go extremely well for our PM, Dr. Manmohan S. Few months back when he said that Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism like us, many self appointed analysts and critics tried to make him sound like a kid and novice. The opposition went for his neck and even demanded his resignation on it.
Without too much of wait the reality is in the courtyard for us to see and introspect. From past one week, in the post “lal masjid operation”, Pakistan is being subjected to deadly suicide bombings killing hundreds of innocents. Such episodes of crisis have always loomed over them but the final nail has been drawn into the coffin now. The only difference is, India bears foreign terrorism and the Pakistanis are a victim to home made and cooked terrorism.
After Singh’s 1991 success story following the criticism then also, the surd is poised to make this tenure of his a mark of political integrity and veracity. In no time people will have to acknowledge his views be it making LOC the LOP (see line of piece) or showing concern for Indians arrested in foreign countries.

AppEal To oNe And aLL
This is a sensitive issue to touch but it needs serious introspection and rumination. The development and progression bells are ringing here and there but often a terrorist attack stops us from dancing to this bell's tune. When everything seems fine and mirthful, often a communal color is given to an issue and the region starts burning. Whenever we talk and practice science and technology few myths still cling on to us and stop us from being rational and lucid. Every such disturbing and distracting act takes shelter behind RELIGION.
Right from ages, many wars have been fought over it and till now we are bellicose. Lakhs and crores of innocent people have lost their lives and many have been sidelined just because of their religion. Whatever positives have been given by the religions, has been overwhelmingly shadowed by the negatives. So the question arises why do intelligent and socially active humans need religion as to choose their way of life? Why can't we live being humans rather than being a Hindu, a Muslim or a Sikh?
The problem doesn't lie in the religions but its followers. There are very few who follow and preach religions correctly and with purity. The world now can survive in 2 ways. Either we follow our religions peacefully and fully or we reject them fully.
We at least shouldn't fall prey to the pseudo religion followers known as fanatics as they exist in each and every religion and are parasites to their religion and the healthy, peaceful world.
A sincere appeal to all is that, please act and think humanly, rationally and shed bestiality and pietism.

Aren’t Indians stupid?
For the first time in US history the country’s senate opened with the chanting of the gayatri mantra. Rajan Ved sprinkled few drops of water around the podium from the Ganges before the start of the prayer.
Why do Indians want to show every time that they love their religion? Why can’t religion be practiced where it ought to be? Is the senate the place to do so?
Though some revolted and raised slogans against the act in the senate, majority stayed calm only for the reason that Indian support is most required in the coming US presidential elections and Indian community has the power to reverse the trends.
But it should be clear in our minds that no one would have sincerely liked the act, nor we would have if someone would have sung carols in our assemblies.
We want to shed India’s image of a land of snake charmers but such acts only reinforce it.

A Petrified Step in Right Direction
The ever monolithic Gen. Parvez Musharraf has silenced his critics who recognized him of being soft on Islamic hard liners by successfully executing the “Operation Silence”. The way he has handled the situation, show both his military and governance qualities with a right blend of astuteness and opportunism. We can easily correlate this Pakistan incident with our episode of “Operation Bluestar” and espy various details where Musharraf got it right and our management failed.
The Bluestar was conducted all in secrecy and thus created doubts in general public’s mind whereas the Pak Army ensured media briefing at regular intervals. In sharp contrast to the negotiations held with clerics by Musharraf before the final attack, there was no colloquy in Bluestar’s case. What made things worse in 1984 was that a huge number of pilgrims died in military assault on golden temple. So the difference is this that though Bluestar is considered as a negative and regressive step in Indian history, Operation silence will most probably be seen as a show of strength and state power against the militants.

We need Positive journalism!!
Indians are influenced a lot by the media, either electronic or print. They tend to make their view point & perceptions based on it. So undoubtedly the media men should act & work responsibly. But sadly whole of the media wagon works & thrives on negative & sensational news. You see the headlines of dailies or the breaking news on 24*7 channels, all you'll witness is news like 50 students made to stand in sun, bribe in DTO office, lady burnt by in-laws & lathi charge on protesters. On 26 th jan, our republic day, special inspiring & good programs were expected but all we got were documentaries on 'why we celebrating?', 'what to celebrate for?' & 'india celebrating & bharat reeling'. What impression will this leave on foreigners, budding students & professionals? What will a poor man think now? That I'll remain the same only? Why don't we accept the fact that we are atlast rising & rising fast. Media should encourage positive journalism & help in bringing a feel good factor in people or the shoulders will keep dropping even before carrying the load.

Is this our Kalam?
What hunger of power & fame can do to a widely perceived learned & noble man; can be seen from the recent act of Dr. Kalam clearly "demanding" another term. Earlier he rejected & decried the offer by NDA as his win was impossible because of zero support from any other front. But when he saw the consolidation of the 3 rd front & the NDA in doldrums, he sensed consensus among these two & some possible cross voting from UPA members. This selfishness & astuteness from a man of his stature & caliber wasn't expected & is an act of sheer oddity.
UPA & the left have projected a right, clean & experienced candidate in the shape of Mrs. Pratibha Patil & they should stand by her & make her the 1 st ever woman president of India. Some may label it as tokenism of women empowerment but tokenism only leads to trendism & after a PM from minority community, UPA is up in front of setting up historic examples.

THE REAL LOSERS?
Few things like this effort of mine have already been drafted & printed but still a thing has been found missing in them. Whole nation is disappointed & angry on the cricket demi gods for such an early exit from the premier cricketing tournament. Rightly so, every Indian is expected to feel bad & criticize the team but not in the fashion it is being done or must say being made to do by our electronic (24x7) media. The very channels which exalted the players to the status of super celebrities & encashed their popularity through daily 5 hour series like "windies ki jung" etc are now keen on making merry by degrading them to the fullest. Many so called news channels have self proclaimed cricket specialists (themselves good for nothing players of their times) who are seen brazenly abusing the present players. Our cricket team men are being labeled "losing rats", "shameless creatures" & much more degrading. It clearly sends out a message that we are a frustrated lot of people who feel happy & satisfied to blame fellow losing Indians while rudely ignoring the rationales & responsibilities. Protesting on streets while tearing & burning the player posters, taking out their dummy funeral processions & damaging their houses are some acts which in no way show the love, passion or the spirit of the fans for the game.
It only depicts that we are bad losers. The punishment if any for the players is ought to be given to them automatically through reduction in endorsements & expulsion from team.
Let's be realistic & act with maturity. Both the masses & the media.

With each passing year we Indians are leaving a mark on the world scene. Under an able & efficient leadership we have continuously belled high growth rates, increased our exports & raised the avg standard of living. Moreover tax collections have surged, social sector is being fed with money & judiciary seems to be booming with some startling convictions. But distracters still raise coarse noises about farmer suicides & one sided growth not realizing that no fort has been built in a day. The so called one sided growth has to be relied upon not envied. Finally after a long time & wait the world is recognizing us & we Indians can't & shouldn't ignore our success. Hoping 2007 to be more prosperous & 'peaceful".

NOT PAMPERING!!
NOT PAMPERING!!
Why are the measures to uplift the downtrodden class of Muslims being labeled as pampering and appeasement politics of the UPA? Maybe we are forgetting that the same UPA had pressed for reservation of OBC's & that wasn't on religious lines. The bad state & the treatment meted out to Muslim community people is well known to all, so SACHAR committee findings should not be put under the cloth but implemented with right measures. If the govt. wants to spend on social sector we should give room to it. It's strange that no political party opposed UPA's decision on OBC creamy layer inclusion but created furore when the issue of poor Muslims came. Moreover politicians are here to get votes & govern, so if they garner votes by doing some work for people then this type of vote bank politics is needed rather than false promises. We should understand that it is the responsibility of the govt. to pay special attention to the welfare of the weaker & the marginalized section of the society. The only point being that it should not be at any one else's cost.

FLAWED JUSTICE!!!
When police & general public opinion turns biased & communal, it becomes a matter of national concern. We all are finally satisfied & content with 1993 Mumbai blast accused being tried, convicted & rightly should be. What we are blatantly forgetting & ignoring are the causes & events that preceded these blasts. Thousands of innocent Muslims were butchered in mumbai streets & elsewhere after cowardly demolishing their shrine under police vigilance!!! The investigation team was undoubtedly biased registering few cases against the minority killers & leaving none convicted. The obvious resentment among the Muslim community members was then exploited by foreign Islamic terrorist organizations. Many top state politicians, party workers & police officers who instigated & fueled anti Muslim riots have till date remained untouched. For keeping our Muslim brothers attached to Indian society & to make them believe in nationalism & patriotism, justice needs to be done at any cost!!

At last the final nail in the coffin of millions of general category students' hopes was drawn when the supreme legislative body, the parliament passed the controversial OBC reservation bill. By including the creamy layer in the reserved column, the very purpose & reason of reservation has been challenged. Why does this economically, socially & politically sound class need a special package? In the past 50 yrs no real needy has been served through this & unfortunately no one will be in the future. The divide between the so called higher & lower class has increased manifold thanks to the political game being played by our leaders irrespective of their parties. It's in basic human nature that we won't love & respect a man who has been forcibly rewarded with thing that we deserved. Maybe our MP's don't understand this!!
ALLOW GOVT. TO WORK!!
ALLOW GOVT. TO WORK!!
It's impossible to decipher what we Indians really want from the govt. Having surpassed the limits of selfishness, we want all the seven colors in our courtyard without worrying for the bigger gloomy picture outside. We expect the govt. to save our illegal structures in the capital, to serve global items, malls & SEZs but don't want to give land for it! We want all the farmer loans to be wavered off (thousands of crores) & high MSPs for them, but as consumers we want everything at lowest price! We don't want the govt. to decide the pharmaceutical rates as then we the retailers will make less profit, but on the other hand we talk of providing cheap medicines to needy! Our business class brothers don't pay the due taxes but are the front runners in protests & bandhs regarding fuel hike! From where will the cash come to spend on social sector? The self proclaimed intellectuals & economists of India should stop making hue & cry & let the 'real' ones in the UPA govt. carry on the good & hard thought work.

DON'T FOLLOW WESTERN HYPOCRISY
DON'T FOLLOW WESTERN HYPOCRISY
Along with inviting FDI inflows into India , we are importing western world's Islam bashing techniques too. In Britain, a MP said that he was 'uncomfortable' with women wearing veil & meeting him, the world clanged on to the issue & his popularity rose. Debates started in India too about the backwardness & the orthodox Islam. Why? Why can't we let them preach their religion as they want? They have full right to wear what they want & to remain attached to their symbols. This bashing & accusation would force them more into ghettos & alienate from the rest. Has anyone ever raised the issue of gals wearing nothing & modeling on ramps? Doesn't that make those white men & us (the cultural Indians) uncomfortable? The problem with us is that we see Muslims from only the fundamentalist eye & want to keep them engaged in irrelevant issues. Banning of the head scarves of Muslims in France is & should be treated as oppressive as the ban on the turbans of Sikhs.

JUSTICE NOT FOR US!!
JUSTICE NOT FOR US!!
To start with, if criminal lawyers were not to defend criminals then there would be nothing else for them to do. The lawyers, journalists, housewives all are chanting against Ram Jethmalani for taking up Manu Sharma's case as we Indians fear that he'll bail out the culprit. Then shouldn't we be blaming our investigation & judicial system instead for having loop holes which are easily exploited by the experienced & top lawyers. Ram Jethmalani is known for taking up cases which defy public opinion, be it the case of Kehar S. or Prof. Geelani. Both of these small & simple men would have been hanged had it not been for Ram's intervention but Manu's case is different. This time Jethmalani won't earn accolades but as rumors are running he may get a crore added up in his account. The only thing turning up in this debate is that is justice available only to those who can pay for it??

Secular Dilemma
From recent events & happenings what seems is that being 'secular' has come in the way of decision & policy making of our PM & the President. After announcing the hefty vidharbha package, the strongly speculated relief package for Punjab farmers was not announced by the PM on his visit to the state leaving many astounded. Was that because he doubted being called a 'sikh' PM rather than the Indian PM? And the clemency plea of Afzal is pending on the President's table but even if he wants to change the hanging to a life sentence, he'll think twice due to the qualm of being labeled 'muslim biased'. You might jump now & say a big NO but we all will be the ones who'll keep gossiping about the non existing biasing & tarnish the undoubted secular image of these two leaders. With a Sikh PM & a Muslim President, we are at the un-scaled heights of secularism on 'paper' but at 'hearts'…??
Missing Rationalism
I’m sorry to say this but maybe we Indians have lost the way of thinking rationally or as ‘west’ says we are emotional fools no doubt! We have criticized Kashmiris & many liberals & intellectuals for supporting clemency plea of M.Afzal, a man who doesn’t fit in rarest of rare cases of death penalty & is not directly linked to parliament attack. His trial is suspected & he fought the case without a lawyer too. On the other hand, lots of Indian hands & voices have come up for supporting Saddam & criticizing his sentence. He is the same man who culled thousands of innocents & subjected more too severe atrocities. What makes us think & act so abruptly & absurdly? Maybe the emotional anti-US stance has lead to the support of saddam!!

Stall it!
BEWARE OF N.KOREA!!
It wouldn’t be wrong to state the NUCLEAR testing by N.Korea as the onset of a dangerous cold war having ample potential of transforming into a real hot one. With Iran also lined up to march into the N-States, Asia seems to be emerging as a nuclear continent rather than a developed one. Shedding the anti-US stand, the world lobby has to support US in imposing sanctions on N.Korea to keep a check on nuclear proliferation & send a strong signal to various nation dictators. We just can’t stand up & say, “if US & India can, then why not N.Korea?” The responsible democratic setup of these nations along with the anti-terrorist nature & history can’t be ignored. N.Korea can be effectively stalled if China supports the sanctions & cuts off its energy & food supplies making it feel like a lone stranger. China shouldn’t act softly just to show off against US or Japan & later repent, as US did in case of Al-Qaida & Afghanistan.

Not a weak PM at all
WEAK P.M. NO WAY !!
I've been waiting patiently for people to change their views on our P.M. Some have by the course of time and happenings but many haven't. Just because in the very beginning he was given the post and not demanded it, we termed him as 'obvious weak'. But he has made his niche very well and answered his critics by actions and words both. His single handed holding to the INDO-US deal and convincing the LEFT (insider OPPOSITION) is not ignorable. In the natwar episode, when his decisiveness and authority was questioned he compelled the party to serve natwar a show cause notice. In the obc reservation issue he made sure that unaided institutes were kept out and staggered the implementation. Now he has defied all predictions and made a joint mechanism program with musharraf. Being utterly convincing and honest and given ample time and room, he'll turn out to be the best P.M.
