Indian Politics & People

There are three types of people in India, especially with respect to their political liking or disliking, generally speaking  in today's context.

The first category includes those who like Modi, the Prime Minister, the second category includes those who do not like Modi and the third category includes the fence seaters. The fence seaters can swing to any side depending upon the situations & circumstances. The fence seaters may have their independent mind or they can be politically neutral or disinterested also. The people who like the present regime are called Modi bhaktas and those who don't like Modi (they dislike to be called as bhaktas of x, y or z..but some people use different terminology something similar for this group). The second category of people have different political philosophy, beliefs and ideology, even some times diagonally opposite within but one thing is common to them that they all oppose Modi. 

The political combination of 'oppose Modi'  group may fight within themselves but they get united against Modi. They can also come together to form a political front for this very purpose, of course with their eyes deeply rooted on the win in  elections. They are so blind that they will oppose Modi for each and every thing in India or outside that happens or does not happen. They will never see a reason to appreciate any positive work being done by Modi government.

On the other hand, the Modi bhaktas are no different. They will praise everything that Modi does and don't use any reasoning to oppose Modi if something does goes wrong. The escape of likes of Vijay Mallaya, Nirav Modi & Mehul Choksi is certainly a failure of this government or the machinery under it. But the Modi bhaktas will not admit it. While, it is also a fact that all these escapists, bhagodas in Hindi, committed all the sins during the opposite regime, they will put the entire blames & responsibility on Modi government.

Such a situation is not a healthy one for democracy. The opposition camp should be constructive & logical in their behaviour keeping the national interest as paramount while the ruling class should also open to criticism and admit lapses if happen knowingly or unknowingly. These should be the 'rajdharma'.

 However, if they don't follow the 'rajdharma' the normal public should not fall prey to their political manoeuvre. Public should not become blind bhaktas or anti bhaktas. Unfortunately, on social media , we see general public fighting against each other, either to prove that Modi government is 100% pure or the earlier regimes were greatest India ever had. It is a fact that had the earlier regime the greatest, there would not have been a Modi. Why can't we see 'black' as black and 'white' as white without any bias or tilt.

Unfortunately, India is yet to reach this maturity level.

PNB Scam and after..

When we start liking some one or have high hopes from such person, we tend to ignore his/her slippages. This holds true for our present prime minister, Sh Narendra Modi too. While opposition leaders are not losing an opportunity to blame him for  everything on the earth & in the sky that goes or doesn't go wrong, his fans give him benifits of doubt on his failures & defend him. I too do place lots of hopes on him and believe that he is the best available option & opportunity for India to be an economically super power & a great world leader.



The people like Vijay Mallya, Mehul Choksi & Nirav Modi started & have grown their corrupt empires during UPA era, they all escaped from India when Modi was at the helm of affairs. Like, as we are discussing that the PNB loot cannot happen without the knowledge, blessings & instructions from the top,  the escape of Mallya, Choksi & Nirav Modi too cannot happen without prior information & alerts from their close channels or sympathisers in the present regime of government. On this count, Modi government cannot escape the accountability. PM Modi has definitely knowingly or unknowingly failed on this count. But, he thinks beyond what we can imagine. It is possible that he is waiting for a proper time to nail the guilties and hang them. He is politician who is far  ahead of his opponents within his party or outside and no one can just write him off. Only time will tell what his does and what he doesn't before 2019 general elections.

Again if we critically compare the UPA era & NDA era, UPA is certainly guilty of creating monumental loots & scams after scams bringing India to the brink.  In comparison, the NDA era appears much much much cleaner with higher growth but of course with some shortfalls here and there. India under Modi also could achieve a tall order on the international arena where India's strength is being reckoned by the world leaders. Therefore, I will again place my hopes on the NDA under Modi for 2019 as neither there is any leader like Modi in the opposition who can lead India nor there can be any amalgamation of the fragmented leaders. The khichdi experiment is not going to work  any more for India.
