balkanization

pranab mukherjee made reference to the term when the nda undertook the splitting up of the northern states in an effort to somehow find a standing in the history of democratic india.the nuclear tests were also in the same vein.
it is the misfortune of our country that we had such miserable and undeserving people as the people in the bjp in our democratic life.
if it was a honest party and if it was involved in making a honest contribution,it would have after having lost the elections made the statement that it was honoured to have manned the helm and would strive to getting another chance where it would continue to grow and do the best.
instead,the puffed bigots keeled over.
while in power,they undertook the creation of chattisgarh,jharkand and uttaranchal.
there was also the calculation of having chief ministers.
dr ramadoss of the pmk after having reached his saturation point now would like to create his sphere where his influence will be pleasingly powerful and his writ will run.
the people are taken for rides by our dishonest and stunted politicians.
they are able to create their core vote bank and are able to carry weight but after a point,it gets boring and the cadres start migrating and that is when frustration sets in.
a honest effort to carry out good work will not get stuck for want of work.
even if it does,it is upto the creativity of the politician to fashion issues and strategies which have a possibility of rousing the people.

politician

a successful politician will first and foremost have a balance and would not get unduly excited or worked up over the various things that are brought to his notice.
he would possess the quality of being comfortable with people and vice versa.
he has to be aware of the problems and the issues of all strata of society.
he has to have the ability to communicate and get to the crux of the issue in a manner which is understood effectively by everyone.
he will interact with various people on various issues and ensure that things keep moving.
a politician is the most effective communicator and becoming one is a tough endeavour and becoming a successful one is even tougher.
what we have today is some educated people who have access and the ability to deliver their thoughts and sundry tv anchors behaving and assuming that a politician is a dispensable person and merits the least of their respect.
such opinions have also to be taken in by the politicians in their stride as another of the pitfalls of public life.
the job of the politician today is also inclusive of the handling of some educated and socially illiterate types who alway pour scorn and diatribe.
becoming a politician is the way for a person to walk the talk while others only continue talking.
he is the most important person in society to whom every issue is taken and who develops wisdom and judgement through the years which is the primary tool for resolving conflicts.a politician will have the ability to pronounce opinion on a subject which will be authoritative and balanced.
some of the youth can be seen asking for educated people only to come into politics.such opinions are derived from the confidence that is developed from having received an education.the feeling is that of having arrived after considerable struggle and then not getting any special position in society which gives value to that education in the socially relevant issues.the education is for the job that one has set out to do and not for the job of governing and ensuring balance in society.those who are active in that sphere will have to be looked up to and understood when one wants to get interested in the issues of the day.
what we have instead is the opposite,the straightaway abject criticism and the accompanying removal from the normal functioning of society.
the refuge is the internet where the more harshly one criticises and rubbishes,the more the like minded converge.
the inernet has become the place where all the people who have education and jobs are involved in the search for some readymade quick fix.the more they exist in such states of removal from the actual mechanisms of society,the more we will have of the types who cannot summon a decency when reacting to happenings like 26/11.
there will be a total breakdown of equanimity and what will be on show will be the rattled netizen who has been brought back to earth abruptly.
he/she will be screaming and abusing.
there will be no realisation that there has to be a composure in the face of the gravest situations.

inheritance

narendra'all star' modi has not talked to the people yet whether the son of a soldier can follow in his fathers footsteps,whether a son of a businessman could follow in his fathers footsteps,whether the son of a farmer should follow the profession of his father and so on.
the all star big mouth image that he has developed is a return to the old days of feudalism where one person knows everything and actually pretends that that is true.
the congress and our country have been served honourably by the gandhi family through the years.
the fractiousness that would otherwise have been an everyday phenomenon has not affected the progress that we have made.
the all star big mouth modi is not qualified to talk on any other issue and campaign for the bharatiya jhootiya party.
the institutions that are built patiently over decades with the complete involvement of all sections of society is sought
to be equated with a one person system,where instead of evolving mechanisms of refinement of the democratic process over the years,one all star big mouth pretends to be helping democracy by developing an image and using that image to win elections.
there is also a hint of chandrababu naidus times in the situation in gujarat where all star big mouth modi is the toast of the so called corporate classes.
will a criminal be pardoned his crime,if he has during the intervening period between the commission of the crime and the pronouncement of guilt managed to set up some activity which might serve the people in some manner.

what is politics

has been demonstrated in the last two days in maharashtra.
it means that people sit,talk,negotiate,bargain.
various groups and their voices,opinions,requirements are fulfilled.
compromises are made and bargains are struck.
some might revolt and go their own way,
some will wait for another chance.
politics does not mean instant fixing and readymade solutions.
this has been the way through the ages.

why did jahangir blind his own son,khusrau,who was offered refuge by guru arjun dev,the fifth sikh guru.
the guru was executed by jahangir for that act.
it is politics and nothing to do with religion.

aurangzeb was more religiously inclined than jahangir,who was addicted to drinking.
aurangzeb enforced the jaziya tax,as he wanted more people to adopt islam.
that did not stop him from conferring land grants to the someshwar nath mahadev temple in allahabad,the shiva temple in banaras and the umanand temple in gauhati.
alliances needed to be made and renewed.
this is what happens in a civilised society.
reasonableness is the hall mark of a civilised society,maintaining respect for the laws is at the heart of civilised societies.
it is not a weakness if a society functions in such a manner,it shows that the society has attained the highest forms of evolution.
it is not to be seen in a totalitarian society.
dialogue is the evidence that a society is stable.
all of this is misrepresented by the hindu fundamentalists and the islamic fundamentalists.
the hindu type feels that he has to avenge something and the islamic type feels that he will be able to bring back the past rule.
both are ignorant of the tradition of dialogue and respect for law which lay at the heart of the indian civilisation.
