"It is never too late to give up your prejudices"

121 Parliamentary
Constituencies (PC) go to polls tomorrow (17th April) and
117 PC next week on 24th April. That makes it a whopping
238 PC, almost half the electorate will exercise their franchise on
these two dates. I thought it would be an ideal time to re-visit some
of my earlier posts, just to refresh and share them once again with
the fellow Voters.
Like someone rightly
said: “If you don't Vote, you lose the right to complain”. So yes, we must Vote! But
what is even more important is to Vote with a Well-informed, Unbiased
and Fearless mind. So sharing here some of my thoughts and ideas from
past blogposts, only to put forward a perspective as a fellow Voter.
Disclaimer at the outset
would be in order: This is not an 'appeal'
to Vote for a Particular Party or a Candidate. I am not making a pitch
for NaMo as PM – he does not need it. This is just a
perspective and opinion of your fellow Voter, Period!
Of Distortians, Intellectuals and Spin-Doctors
Let us start with this one first, as this is where it all Originates from.
We discussed three
broad categories of information resources: Distortians (Level I),
Poweratti (Level II) & Spin-Doctors (Level III). These three
tribes put together is one big canvas of all those who peddle
'manufactured lies' in the name of 'Facts and Data'. They run their
'daily discourse' on India, from within and outside the country,
serving their 'employers'. This has been a 'cottage industry' that
has grown around us during the last two decades and they now have
taken complete control of our daily lives. They do it for very simple
reasons – money, status, job – terms like 'Country' and 'Nation'
do not have any place in their dictionary. Yes, you guessed it right,
they are Sickular, and let me
also add that almost all of them fall under at least one of these
categories: Commies, 'Fake-Liberals', 'Left-Liberals' and
'Crony-Socialists'.
Reason why I bring this
up here right in the beginning is to highlight the fact that it is
the 'Source' of News & Information that is becoming lot more
important today than the 'Content'.
In my opinion, this is
the most dangerous internal threat that India faces today as a
Sovereign Republic.
Decoding NaMo : From a Classical Liberal perspective
Next point of discussion should obviously be the ideology, the 'ism' that would influence our decision on whom to Vote. NaMo is the only elected
representative in the current political space in India, of course
except JP of LSP, who in the capacity of a CM and now as PM
designate, has explicitly, consistently and openly talked about some
of the most fundamental aspects of governance, that draw straight
from the Classical Liberal ideology – also the ideology that is
most identifiable with “Swatantra Party”. Key points are:
- Minimum Government with Maximum Governance
- First Order Function
- Nation First
- No Appeasement & No Discrimination
- Equality of Opportunity instead of Equality of Outcome
- Pro-people, Proactive Good Governance (P2G2)
- Federal Model of Governance
- Opposes the very concept of “Nanny State” and “Intrusive Government”
Decoding NaMo : From Lutyens' Delhi perspective
Next, we need to figure out why there is so much of negative Publicity & Tags attached to NaMo.
In this post I coined the
term 'Poweratti', that includes Politicians, Diplomats, Bureaucrats,
Industrialists, Advocates, Journalists, Authors, Property-Dealers,
Socialites, Historians, Artists, etc etc. This is the
“gated-community” where no outsiders are allowed.
M R Venkatesh, in his
book titled 'A Decade of Decay' has brilliantly argued in a chapter
titled: "Modi has arrived. But is India ready?"
NaMo could well disturb
the status-quo of the “Poweratti” and bring in a fresh
perspective of a free and liberated democracy to the common man.
Decoding NaMo – From The Propaganda Perspective
And finally, NaMo carries the baggage of being a Fascist, Communist, Mass Murderer, Autocratic, Anti-Muslim, Hitler, etc etc. Twelve long years have passed and yet the ghost of 2002 is still not letting go of him. Anti-Modi literature has
turned out to be a hugely remunerative cottage industry over the last
decade and all actors of this theatre called “Propaganda Politics”,
have benefitted tremendously from this industry. Madhu Kishwar says
and I quote: “Modi bashing is ideologically fashionable”. I liked
her description of “ideologically fashionable” !! Perfectly fits
into the Bhadralok character of Lutyens Delhi. Nobody has
threatened the very existence of Dynastic Congress other than NaMo.
Let us break free of the
Dynastic Rule by Mobocracy and celebrate the True Democracy!
AAP – Theatre of the absurd: a congregation of NGOs, Activists & Bored CEOs
LS 2014 elections would be incomplete without discussing AAP. This post surely would upset many but I write this with a sense of responsibility based on my knowledge of events and facts. This is a classic master-stroke of Congress and the 'Paid Media' is once again doing what it does best, serve the Dynasty. Congress already knows where it stands today as far as 2014 Lok Sabha elections are concerned. Congress has exhausted all their tricks to keep NaMo away from contesting 2014 Lok Sabha polls. So this is the last and final attempt of Congress, pitching AAP against NaMo.
Good Luck, Mother India! May you get the BEST Government that you deserve!!
