Bolo Vansh-wadi Politics Ki .... Hai Ok Please !



Yashwant Sinha said that "My son is incompetent, thus was removed from the finance ministry"

Harvard Business School educated son Jayant Sinha, who has been entrusted the mammoth task of the newly launched UDAN Scheme to connect entire India by low cost flights said "My father is from older generation, he simply doesn't understand the new economy of New India' - a free lance consultant, a time shared person or an Uber driver are unemployed according to my father."

This tells us that what's consuming the Indian public - not a debate on the economy or their future, rather it's just plain vanilla ill will among father & son duo that's spewing out in the public domain under the media glare.

That brings me to my ponder. 

The Mulayam and Akhilesh fuelled 'parivar me diwar' gave Modi his bigger than expected victory. 

And then we have Lalu Prasad Yadav, supposedly a shrewd person with a keen political acumen, who, for the love of his son Tejaswi, threw away the last straw of power he was holding - c/o Nitish Kumar.

And how can India's privileged raja-beta be forgotten? 

In America, RaGa-baba justified dynastic rule by giving examples of the fractured & bruised and also his lost UP election partner Akhilesh Yadav. To add poverty to his already poor example, he cited the supper flop son Abhishek Bachhan of the evergreen performer Amitabh Bachhan and said "This is how India works".

The compromised media & a few gullible lapped it up and put their approval stamp on the meaningless trip of the child-man. Some termed it as a success, as he made only a partial fool of himself !

It is altogether a different matter that perhaps all the regional parties may have taken an excuse & buried their guilt - of promoting their own family members, after witnessing the rotten practice of Congress, the oldest party of India & supposedly belonging to the freedom fighter creed.

Enter the stage Narendra Damodardas Modi and the man changed the rules of the game. One of the first rules that the New India's PM made for BJP functioning, is that - no two persons from the same family shall simultaneously hold any position of power.

RaGa-baba's examples are akin to pointing at a broken down clock, which also shows the correct time twice in a day.

And the round the clock working PM is showing them all - on how India should really be working by making himself, the first citizen, as an example worthy of emulating. 

Bolo Bharat Mata Ki.... Jai Ok Please !

Democrazy 101



RaGa-baba said that he wants more of democracy in Congress. Modi on the other hand is accused by some of having reduced democracy in BJP.

Democracy is a sweet dream at best & nightmare at worst - in politics (as in business).

Why?

It is a sweet dream, as from initial stage of interview (in party or business), you select & then promote people who are like you, who subscribe to your ideological agenda. Taking their opinion is an approx farce, if not a complete one - as it will deliver more of the same. Those with disproportionate differences are fired or quit. A self fulfilling prophecy.

It is a nightmare, as selection by majority leads to mediocrity. Thought leadership is the domain of few. Publicity then leads popularity. A self fulfilling fallacy.

The masses in the real world are divided into those who observe, those who rationalize, those who synthesize and those who contemplate.

The synthesizers are leaders. They are usually wedded to the cause & so are able to connect unseen dots and can imagine the emerging future picture that affects the cause. They need to work in isolation & not get distracted with inevitable machinations spewed out by the members that make up winning arithmetic of the democratic process. The leader then articulates, inspires & influences. It is the leader's job "to get others to do, what he wants to do - as they want to do it."

Contemplation is for (management) gurus, who can advise & coach the leaders but themselves cannot perform.

RaGa-baba beware, democracy is a Frankenstein of sorts - to slay it, you'll need to be a full 56" chest-ed fellow !
