#Gobackmodi (A Trend on Twitter against Modi's Visit to Bihar)

#GoBackModi

 बिहार में इलेक्शन होने जा रहें है। और आज प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी अपनी चुनावी सभा करने के लिए बिहार पहुँच गए हैं उससे पहले, अगर आप ट्विटर का ट्रेंड देखें तो उसमे हैशटैग चल रहा है - #GoBackModi.अगर आप इस समय देश का माहौल देखें तो जरूर ये पाएंगे की एक बहुत बड़ा वर्ग खासतौर पर युवा वर्ग मौजूदा सरकार से बहुत खुश नहीं है।  इसका एक सबसे बड़ा कारण रोज़गार के अवसर का सिमित होना है।

सोशल मीडिया पर किसी भी हैशटैग का ट्रेंड करना एक संकेत जरूर होता है सरकार के खिलाफ का या फिर उसके फेवर का। पर इस बात से कितना फर्क  पड़ता है ग्राउंड जीरो पर ये बात देखने वाली होगी इस बिहार चुनावो में।  पिछले कुछ समय से सोशल मीडिया पर  प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी का विरोध काफी मुखर रूप में सामने आया है।  और इस वजह से सरकार को भी एक सन्देश जरूर पंहुचा है की सब कुछ ठीक नहीं है।  पर वहीँ दूसरी तरफ तमाम विरोधो के बावजूद भारत में मोदी कि पॉपुलैरिटी घटी नहीं है। लोकनीति - CSDS का सर्वे ये दर्शाता है कि 2019 के आम चुनावों के बाद प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की पॉपुलैरिटी बढ़ी है इसके अलावा इंडिया टुडे का सर्वे भी प्रधानमंत्री मोदी को आगे बता रहा है इस कोरोना काल में।  लेकिन अगर महामारी से हुए आर्थिक संकट, हेल्थकेयर के चरमराने, बेरोज़गारी, आदि, के बावजूद भी अगर प्रधानमंत्री के चाहने वालों की कमी नहीं है तो फिर #GoBackModi के ट्रेंड करने की क्या वजह हो सकती है?

वोटर्ज़ दरअसल इस  बात पर काफी नाराज़ हैं की बिहार में इलेक्शन है इस लिए सरकार का ये कहना की कोरोना की वैक्सीन मुफ्त में बिहार की जनता को दी जाएगी अगर नितीश कुमार की सरकार फिर बनती है तो। इस बात का विरोध व्यापक रूप से बिहार की जनता और विपक्ष भी कर रहा है और ये भी एक बड़ा कारण है #GoBackModi ट्रेंड करने का।  कांग्रेस ने अपने official ट्विटर हैंडल पे लिखा है - "10 लाख नौकरियों का मज़ाक़ उड़ाने वाले जुमलेबाजों के 19 लाख रोजगार वाले जुमले का सच बिहार जान चूका है". वहीँ दूसरी तरफ केंद्र में NDA के सहयोगी LJP के नेता चिराग पासवान भी नितीश के खिलाफ हमलावर रुख अपनाएं हुए हैं।  उन्होंने अपने official ट्विटर हैंडल से लिखा "शराबबंदी के नाम पर बिहारीयों को तस्कर बनाया जा रहा है।बिहार कि माताएँ बहने अपनो को तस्कर बनते नहीं देखना चाहती।बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री के संग सभी मंत्रियों को पता है की बिहारी रोज़गार के अभाव में शराब तस्करी के तरफ बढ़ रहा है लेकिन सब के सब को मानो साँप सूँघ लिया है".

भारत के प्रजातांत्रिक इतिहास में हर सरकार का एक मकसद ये जरूर रहता है की देश में ही नहीं, बल्कि हर प्रदेश में भी उसकी पार्टी की सरकार बने। ,जहां पिछले दिनों झारखण्ड, राजस्थान, छत्तीसगढ़, महाराष्ट्र इत्यादि (अन्य) प्रदेशों में भाजपा  ने अपनी सरकारे गवाई है, और इसलिए भाजपा  भी थोड़ा सा सजग जरूर दिखती है अपने चुनावी अभियानों को लेकर। और इसी वजह से बिहार में भाजपा गठबंधन की राह थोड़ी कठिन जरूर दिखती है।

इंकम्बेंसी फैक्टर एक बड़ा कारण है सरकार के खिलाफ बिहार में जिसका विपक्ष जरूर फायदा उठाना चाहेगा।  क्योंकि नितीश सरकार के खिलाफ गुस्सा है।  बेरोजगारी की समस्या से बिहार ही नहीं बल्कि देश भी जूझ रहा है और इस वजह से भी ट्विटर पर #GoBackModi ट्रेंड कर रहा है।  अगर आप मौजूदा माहौल देखें बिहार का - तो गरीबी एक बड़ी समस्या है, healthcare सिस्टम बिहार का काफी ख़राब स्तिथि में है, उच्च शिक्षा की स्तिथि भी ख़राब है प्रदेश में । नौकरी की तलाश में युवा वर्ग  को पलायन करना पड़ता है।   ये सब बड़े कारण है सरकार के खिलाफ उसके अलावा केंद्र में साथी पार्टी LJP, बिहार में NDA का हिस्सा नहीं है। जो की eventually मौजूदा\सरकार को नुकसान पंहुचा सकती है।  

वही प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी अपने भाषण में युवाओ को सम्बोधित करते हुए नए बिहार का रोड मैप प्रस्तुत कर रहें हैं । और राजद की सरकार के समय की अराजकता और विफलताओं कि एक लिस्ट बिहार के वोटर्स के सामने रख रहें हैं। अब एक नज़र की प्रधानमंत्री ने अपने भाषण में नीतीश के  लिए फ़ील्डिंग करते  हुए क्या कह कर वोट माँगे

1. युवाओं को रोज़गार।
2. जरुरतमंदो को मुद्रा लोन।
3. किसानो को सिचाई के लिए पानी की व्यवस्था।
4. हर घर में सप्लाई का पानी
5. शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में खास तौर पर और इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेजेस खोलने की बात।

प्रधानमंत्री ने अपने भाषण में इस बात पर भी जोर डाला कि राजद काल में कोई भी बिहारी सुरक्षित नहीं था।  सड़को का कोई नामो निशान नहीं था।  लोगों को हमेशा अपनी जान और माल का डर सताता था।  लेकिन चुनाव और भाषणों को अगर हम एक तरफ रख कर बिहार की स्तिथि पर नज़र डालें तो ये पाएंगे की प्रदेश मे समस्याओं का पिटारा है, और लोगों में मौजूदा सरकार के ख़िलाफ़ गुस्सा भी है पर वोट वो भाजपा को ही देंगे ऐसा कहना है गया के एक वोटर सुशील कुमार सिंह का जो की पेशे से टूर ऑपरेटर है  और बोधगया में अपना होटल चलाते हैं। (मैंने अपने यूट्यूब चैनल के लिए इनका इंटरव्यू किया था URL है https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoN9clD83Ho&t=525s) इस बात का लाभ राजग गठबंधन को इस चुनाव में मिलने जा रहा है।

बहुत सी रिपोर्टस ये बता रही हैं की नौकरिया काम हुई है और मौजूदा सरकार इस स्तिथि को ठीक से काबू या हैंडल नहीं कर पाई है।  जिसका गुस्सा ट्विटर पर लोगों के द्वारा देखा जा रहा है।  पर इस ट्रेंड में ये बात जानने वाली भी जरूर है - की सत्यापित यूजर इस हैशटैग को ट्रेंड कराने वाले कितने होंगे? (सुबह 11  बजे तक ये हैशटैग 54k पर ट्रेंड कर रहा था) और इस बात से भी यहाँ इंकार नहीं किया जा सकता है की लोगों में सरकार और खास तौर पर प्रधानमंत्री मोदी के खिलाफ नाराजगी है।

अगर राजनीतिक रूप से देखा जाये तो भाजपा गठबंधन के लिए ये एक महत्वपूर्ण चुनाव है इस कोरोना काल में । क्योंकि जिस तरह से देश इस पान्डेमिक में ख़राब अर्थव्यवस्था और अनेको समस्याओं से जूझ रहा है और आने वाला समय और कितना कठिन हो सकता है अभी इसका अनुमान सटीक तौर पर नहीं लगाया जा सकता है। ऐसे में लोगों का ये भी मानना है कि 2014 में जैसा आगाज़ हुआ था भाजपा का अभी वैसा अंजाम बहुत दूर की कौड़ी नज़र आ रहा है। इसका एक सबसे बड़ा कारण NDA के घटक दलों में फुट पड़ना भी है । चाहे वो महाराष्ट्र में शिव सेना हो  पंजाब में अकाली दल  या फिर बिहार में LJP । 

Vikas तो डुबे

“Vikas” - is dead in its true sense in the country called India – Who was “Vikas”? Vikas was the one who walked back home 1000 kms in lockdown because there was no food, no money, no job and no shelter at his work place “Vikas” was also the one who hanged himself because he could not able to repay the loan what he took against his farm land in Maharashtra or in many parts of India. He was also a “Vikas” who casted his vote in the name of “everyone’s companionship and progress” he died too. Those were also “Vikas”, who slept forever on railroad on their way back home at the time of lockdown. “Vikas” died of hunger at his village waiting for 5kgs of grains.

The story of “Vikas” has not ended as yet, now a new “Vikas” will be born or maybe he is a toddler somewhere by now. “Vikas to Hoga” – Who is “Vikas” now? Probably, that will be decided by the national political party or regional political party of our country soon. We as an individual have a tendency to forgetting things faster and this is a drawback for India as country but an advantage for a political setup in the country. “Vikas” will be a model of projecting India becoming self-reliant. And we as a citizen of this country will again come in the delusion of some political party. 

Every time we do the same mistake and we did not want to learn from our mistakes as well, because we are so occupied in our day to day life that we hardly wants to think beyond our kitchen these days and when things will be little better our thinking will take a plunge in few other materialistic pleasures of life which we can afford at that point of time which will be post Corona time. This Corona has put a break on our thinking and economy, because of which our purchasing power has weaken otherwise we would have enjoying the party at this time as well.    

When you think about people rich people like Tata’s, Mahindra’s or Reliance nationally and internationally P&G’s, Hindustan Liver etc. you will come to know, they all have long term goals to achieve from a business project in which they invest. They spend lot of money on studying the human behavior, preferences and choices for a particular product. I give you an example of sanitary pad from P&G – the company goes to an extend to change the color of the packing according to the target audience’s age. Purposes like these i.e. R&D of human behavior they sponsor researchers to do their Ph. d on human psychology in big universities of the world. That means the money is been spent on earning more money. It’s mental; imagine how deep they want to penetrate it’s a different ball game all together and because of this advance planning they are successful. And also don’t have any competitor in their respective markets.  

Now our political parties especially who thinks they are in a business (although every political party is in a business these days) have started working on these line as well. And the time will come when they’ll be having no opposition/competition whatsoever. And everything will be done in the democratic system of the country without any objections.  Mark my words we have started moving towards a system in our country where what so ever has been told to us by the ruling party we’ll accept it as it is, and also appreciate their decisions later on. How much time and money is being spent to achieve their respective goals one can’t even imagine.

Solutions: - raise your question even if you like it. Do ask why? You have to make them accountable. How? It depends on case to case basis. Executives and Legislature are going hand in hands these days – this will only change when we’ll ask question. Out of three pillars of democracy – two have become very weak they are Judiciary and the Executives. Although, directly we can’t do anything but those who are in there have to act swiftly, otherwise it will be too late for the country.

2 – We have seen the two types of government in last 30 years – a coalition government and an absolute majority government. Although for the countries benefit it is always recommended the absolute majority Party should rule the country but it has to be a party who should rule but not an individual in the party it is very harmful for the country. My understanding with present system says - we should fly against the wind in democracy. According to the time and need we should also change and put the country first in our priority. I always say if the country stays we will stay. At present it seems coalition could have been a better option because it will be having many power centers and with that at least democracy would have flourished.  

“Vikas” should have taken place in the country but it has got stuck in made up chaotic system of political parties in our country. That is it about “Vikas” and I myself is looking for “Vikas”. Welcome to the 21^st Century India.    

 

Desperate Economy

Criticizing the government is one of the easiest jobs to perform in our country. But the question is why the people of our country criticizing the government? Everyone whosoever criticizes the government has his/her logic behind it. Those logic's at times are interesting and based on facts as well. Another point is why the person who is criticizing the policies or the decision of the government with documented proof but still could not able to get the publicity what is been needed to spread the words amongst the subjects? Reasons could be umpteen - but one of the important measure is the control over process which leads to the spreading of information, which is there in the hands of the government and they critically analyses every information whether it is benefiting them or will criticize their decisions.

Although, in India we have democracy because of which we still have an access to many sources through which we get what we want(mostly). Of course in a democratic system things are little different then communism but if you see both the system practically still lot of similarities are there. You can ask how? See, one of the basic differences in our country and a communist country’s set up is - here we can always raise our voice, if we see some wrong doing by the government openly. But, we still can’t stop them from doing what they want to do. Let say if we question one of the latest decisions of the government of India of partially privatizing the Indian railways. I am saying partially because they have chosen few routes and no of trains to be run on those routes by private players. Why do you want to introduce private player in the PSUs? When it is generating profit for you. And also an important and popular mode of mass travel in India.

Many factors are responsible for this decision of the government. In the last budget of the government of India our Finance minister has introduced the idea of 5 Trillion Rupees economy and the target to achieve this objective by 2024. Now at present the emphasis is on developed economy of India which s a good idea. World has changed rapidly in last 30 years and every country should gain benefit out of this economic development because of open market policy, but on the other hand in last 73 years of our independence, we could not able to efface the poverty from the face of India.  Still our Prime minister has to come on TV and has to make an announcement of providing 5kg of food grains to 800 million poor people of this country till November 2020 because the pandemic has taken its toll out of common people. Of course economy of India is in a bad shape right now. Although, the world economy is in a bad shape Yes, “desperate time needs desperate measures” but at present selling PSUs can’t be the desperate measure. Why aren’t we taking the help of our Noble laureate who are providing their valuable services to the western world when we know the study of theirs on which they have won the awards mostly has been done on poor India and measures to eradicate it.

When you read a government decision on something in a documented form – you will get stuck in the language - it will take multiple reading to understand what it really meant. It was always like this because in a democratic system we all have the right to challenge any decision (except national security) by the government. Any government wants to play safe and also don’t want any hurdles in their decisions to be challenged by anyone.

Solution :- we have many - what we have to do firstly work upon implementation of the decision made by the government at the grass roots level by having an independent body which will be working on the lines of RTI there job is to make sure the implementation is taking place honestly or they should take corrective measures if the things are not right. What would be the benefit of it – it will help eradicate poverty step by step from the society and also remove corruption from the system.

2 - The government should take the help of people who are real expert in the field. It depends on case to case basis. The bureaucratic system is the requirement of smooth functioning of the government in any country, but the civil servants cannot be an expert so their opinion does matter on policies. But it should never be the last opinion.  En numbers of examples are there in which some beautiful policies have failed because of the bureaucratic complication in implementation.  The federal system of our country is as such that has provided everyone to flourish equally the only difference is “right people at right place at the right time” makes more of a difference but it doesn’t mean that power has to avoid the experts.  

3 - Politician has to become the rider not the rides in the hands of Civil servants. Politicians have to understand that - they have got the verdict of the people to rule on them and they are answerable to the public of this country only. Selflessness is the key for development of any country and our past has hundreds of examples like that. If we have to learn from the past for the betterment of the society we should never hesitate.

Solution

I often in my write-ups only write about the problems and I know most of us do know the problems and we are looking for solutions! But, firstly the idea of mine is always to identify the problem and go into the cause. Once we know the cause we can start working upon the solutions. There are straight ways which will lead us to the solutions of any problem, but we are afraid of taking that path, because we’ve created the problem and now we are afraid of the society or colleagues or may be family members what they will think if they come to know that I have created the problem.  

Most of the times after committing mistakes we think no one will come to know and we’ll move out of it without someone noticing it. That’s where we make another mistake. It is exactly like I have a secret which I am telling to everyone who is my friend, family member or someone close to me and after narrating the secret I will conclude with this sentence “remember this is between me and you only”. And believe me what we think most of the time about our secret as a big secret turn out to be a general issue which occurs with most of us. There are still some secrets which considered being a real secret - 99% we never disclose it to anyone. And these types of secrets are there with everyone lives on this planet none of us being spared from it.

Now exactly the same concept we can apply to the issues related to bigger problem of the society and here I am talking about matters which are related to the nation and the countrymen One of the examples from the present time we can give is this pandemic C-19, every government is hiding the real data or probably they don’t have the real time data. This practice is being applied world over and the history tells us it is always like this since ancient time. The reason for this is given initially that if we release or tell the real data to the subjects, they will get scared and there is a possibility of civil unrest. Here I would say just refer to the past whenever someone have revealed the truth to their subjects - people have always revolted against him, his regime or the system. Everyone knows the truth it is only they don’t react until they realize the intensity of the threat on their lives and the lives of their loved once.

It is all about taking people into your confidence and that confidence will come when you will trust the person’s ability and give an opportunity to prove him/herself. Every individual suffers with one syndrome called self-obsession you might disagree with me but even the so called Holy saints were also suffered from this syndrome. The recent example would be of Osho Rajneesh he declared himself a “Bhagwan” but when a controversy occurred on his commune in US he blamed “Sheela” for everything. I don’t want to go in details about happenings in his commune which made US government fumed so badly, that they put him and Sheela behind bars for many years. Here my point is even the so called great human beings also suffer from this self-obsessed syndrome and that proves they are not enlightened at all. Everyone makes mistakes and it is more about accepting the fault instead of hiding it from the others because hiding is not the solution. Great people in the past have made blunders but they were brave enough to admit their faults.   

This is what has been taught to us in “Vedas, Puranas, Upnishads” etc. don’t become obsessed of yourself, you are not immortal accept your mistakes and work towards rectification of it, you will achieve the “Moksha” or liberation. I now all this probably will not make much of sense to masses because we only like the stories being told to us by someone about someone else and they have achieved that salvation by that, but when we have to apply this on ourselves we’ll be saying let me finish my present goal of becoming something and then I will follow this path. And by that time there are only two possibilities left with you either that time never comes or it is too late.

If you are really a wise man believe me things around you will always be intoxicated  

Who is a Nationalist?

Why is the country always in my mind? Especially when as an individual I am not doing great? Probably, I am a selfish man thinking only about the uncertainty around me and also floating in the country at present and this makes me think how will I survive and take care of my family in future? Of course the situation around us at present is adverse not favorable at all, and yes the authorities are also not at all active in assuring the country about the things is in their controls? I know I am asking too much from my government and this is not the right attitude but, what do I do? When I know I have lost my job – the job which I was loving and supporting my family and also presenting the country in a manner that makes me proud of my country. But suddenly everything got vanished and I find myself and my country in the middle of nowhere.

The entire country is impatient right now and everyone has taken the responsibilities on their shoulders because we very well know that government is not going to do anything except blabbering. This is very unfortunate and disgusting on the government part. I know you are not in a position to support the entire country but at least help the needy. Who is lying in a hospital suffering from Covid or the one who is walking on the highways? See if you can’t help the sufferer than do not stay in power. I think the government has to set its priorities.

Till recently we were hearing that Image of India has improved world over because of our PM’s diplomatic policies. If that’s the case than - why China and Nepal are disturbing us? You can’t say openly to avoid Chinese product which is understandable but kindly arrange the opportunity or an alternate to the people of this country to support you, by not buying or using the product of Chinese origin. This is the right time to develop this idea of “Atamnirbhar Bharat” with honesty. Understand one thing this country is not only run by the business houses the common man also has a contribution and their contribution is far bigger than the contributions of the business houses for sure. /

Do reforms in Bureaucratic setup in the country. Do not try to make the constitutional setup weak in the country. Transparency will only be there when the government will be honest. And honesty can’t be seen through words rather it will appear automatically in the deeds what you do for the people of your country. I might sound another idiot to you but believe me who so ever will be having a love and dedication for his country he will rise against you and certainly you don’t want this to happen against your regime so you are crushing the voices. If someone brave enough raise his voice against you that does not mean he is an anti-national and you have to book him under anti-national law. We are 1.3 billion voices let’s see how many you crush.

Even supreme almighty has assigned subordinates Gods to look after the matters related to humanity and all of them has power and followers accordingly but in your regime you do have many minsters but power lies in one man and the commoners do not even know in case of emergency whom should they go to? Your GoM are more into glorifying you rather serving the country and its people. I know they all won under your leadership but this victory is not permanent as Gita verse is “there were someone before you and there will be someone after you, so don’t worry and rest all your worries in me because I am the ultimate truth”.

Fake Information Report

Why do you think the present government doesn’t want to tolerate the opposition gracefully? The opposition could be anyone just not only the political parties. And because of which we are seeing those Fake FIR cases being registering against anyone who is raising his or her voice against the system and the government. And just imagine these cases are mostly happening in the states run by BJP. It is quite sad to see the situation around us. Just watch this report on COVID-19 situation in India on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmaGPHN7qGs and you will understand what actually is happening around us. Now this News Clip is of BBC so government can’t say it is sponsored and situation is not like this how it’s been shown here. But still the question is why the present government not admitting their mistakes daintily. Probably one of the reason what I understood is this that arrogance has taken over the empathy and this is not good for democracy.

Till the time of UPA regime even the smallest of the misdoing use to be highlighted never people have been manhandled by the government if the use to raise their voices against the government. Media was relatively a bit more free then now. Have you ever thought why? In my understanding I can say at that point of time the government being run by the group of parties and everyone supporting party use to have his say in the government and the PM Mr. Manmohan Singh ji was also a teacher more than a PM. I would say that was a better time for the democracy then what we are seeing at present. At that point of time it was the group of ministers who use to rule the country and because of which we have seen so many “Scams”. Because at that point of time everyone wanted to share the chocolate pie and they use to have a little bit of modesty (probably I am wrong, but this is what I presuming). As we have seen many Scams like CWG, 2G, Coal Gate so on and so forth.

Now that modesty is missing from the present government, as well as the GoM. I am sure if Shyama Parasad Mukherjee and Deen Dayal Upadhya ji watching all this from heaven, they must be regretting their decision of forming Jan Sangh. I still remember my presence at BJP headquarters on 16^th May 2014 when the election results were announced and BJP came into power. Everyone was so happy there, in fact majority of the country was happy. I still remember Ravish Kumar Came to BJP headquarters and he has been physically trolled by the BJP supporter in side of 11 Ashoka Road. And we all thought at last the change has come for which we all have dreamt once. Unfortunately now I can always say time changes so do the ideology and this is very sad for democracy and the country.   

I still would say lot of people are still there in BJP who lived throughout for the country and once Govindacharya ji told me Advani ji is better candidate for the supreme post in BJP’s Government. I know as I said Time changes so did the ideology and the people who use to walk behind the change have blocked the path of development. But I am not worried I know because I believe in it soon the time will come when things will take another turn and probably this time we’ll come back on the path on which probably Gandhi ji or Lal Bahadur wanted to walk upon.

Rajya Sabha Elections 2020

Here comes the election again – this time it is for the upper house of the parliament. You might hear very soon that this election is not valid because the Central Vista project is not yet started – you might be thinking what does Central vista project has to do with Rajya Sabha’s election, then I will say exactly the same connection when we did the announcement of Demonetization and the Lockdown in the country where we did not thought about the consequences will be faced by the innocent countrymen. Our beloved orator appeared on the Television and gave a sermon in which he preached people of this country with his words of wisdom.

Most of us are aware what is going on in the state of Rajasthan and Gujrat in connection with the Rajya Sabha’s poll as of now – horse trading has started and the opposition and ruling party of both the states are running around with their MLAs so that they achieve the desire results. Unfortunately again it is a Congress Party who is doing this again. As far as moral code of conduct is concern this kind of dirty practices should not adopted by any political party anywhere in the country. But ???????   

What is the code of conduct to elect an MP for Rajya Sabha.   The elected members of Rajya Sabha are chosen through the system of “proportional representation by means of single transferable vote” through the open ballot. The open ballot was introduced to replace the secret ballot, by amending the Representation of People Act. 1951 and the Conduct of Electoral Rules 1961. Open Ballot system means that every elector belonging to a political party ha to show his marked ballot paper to the authorized representative of his political before inserting into ballot box. Open ballot system was introduced to avoid horse trading or cross voting. The minimum number of vote required to get elected is = total number of MLAs in the state +1  / Vacancy + 1

Now it is technically impossible to do a cross voting so the new idea has been developed by the powerful political party to buy the MLA and MLA will give his/her resignation from the Legislature and you will achieve your desired result. This is a clear case of bypassing the people’s mandate? When you are in the power you manipulate the laws according to your vims and fancies but just imagine what reputation those public representatives are gaining. I know who cares….. By god’s grace we have won the election and luckily got an opportunity to make some extra money why not to go for it. I think this would have been the mindset of those MLAs who have resigned from Madhya Pradesh Assembly in March this year and probably they must be thinking of another opportunity to get reelected this time on ruling party’s ticket. In the recent past when we were under the lockdown PM urged the public to donate in his new PM care a/c and people did donated with open heart because it was to strengthen the hands of the government so that they can fight against the present pandemic. There is another conspiracy theory which is going on that is why we or the government needed a new a/c when it already has an PM relief fund. Probably the original relief fund a/c has an accountability and because of which you can’t achieve your desired ambition fulfilled and that could be the reason of the present government to open up a new account and god knows what is been done with that money which has been donated by the countrymen.   

The time is coming for the permanent solution to stop this kind of felonious practice from the face of Indian democracy but for this - people of the country have to rise in the form of ballot. Do remember if you will not rise now you’ll never be able to stand up again. A lot has to do if we really want to live in a democratic country in true sense. Power corrupts and it certainly has corrupted the present ruling party of our country. Stop making fool of us you never know when the time will slip out of your hands but I know by that time probably they will do an irreparable damage to this country – we still have time we have to wake up again and have to teach the lesson to the so called torch bearers of democracy.   

मेरा त्यागपत्र

एक विचार पिछले कुछ दिनों से मन में कौंध रहा है, और वह विचार है कि शायद मुझे अब त्यागपत्र दे देना चाहिए।  कितने आराम से लिख दिया की मुझे त्यागपत्र दे देना चाहिए। पर मुझे लगता है ये इतना आसान नहीं होगा , पर फिर सोचता हूँ की शायद ये इतना मुश्किल भी  नहीं है। मेरे भारत की स्तिथि अभी बहुत अच्छी नहीं है।  कोई भी व्यवस्था अपनी जगह पर दुरुस्त नहीं है इस समय।  पर क्या इसका कारण मेरे वो निरणय है जिसको मैंने अब तक लिए हैं ये सोच कर की जो कर रहा हूँ वो सबसे बेहतर हैं।  

क्या मुझे आजकल देश मे चल रही अनियमिताएं नहीं दिख रहीं हैं ? शायद नहीं क्योंकि इस समय देश में  जो अर्थव्यवस्था  की हालत है, और उससे उबरने के लिए किये गए उपाय गलत साबित हो रहें हैं साथ ही  जो मजदूर पैदल ही घर जा रहें हैं वो भी तो एक नाकामी है मेरी।  50 वर्षो से हम गरीबी हटाओ की बात करते आये हैं मुझे याद है इंदिरा गाँधी ने 1971 का चुनाव "गरीबी हटाओ" के ही नारे पर लड़ा था।  पर इस बीच बहुत सी सरकारें आई और चली गई पर आजतक गरीबी नहीं हैट पाई।  इस देश पर राज करते हुए हम गरीबी  और  ग़रीबों को हमेशां भूले रहे। 

आज जो कुछ भी सोशल मीडिया पर या टीवी पर मजदूरों से सम्बंधित दिखाया जा रहा है वो सब गलत है ये मान लेने से सच झूठ नहीं हो जायेगा। देश को सुचारु रूप से चलने की जिम्मेदारी मैंने ली है पर शायद मैं अभी तक अपना 100% नहीं दे पाया हूँ।  इस समय जब की देश एक महामारी से लड़ रहा है और जो दावे मेरी सरकार द्वारा किये जा रहें हैं उसमे कहीं बहुत बड़ी गड़बड़ है। और ऐसे मे ये बात की भी संभावना है की जब भी हम इस महामारी से बाहर निकलेंगे एक इससे भी बड़ा संकट मुँह बाये खड़ा होगा और वो होगा बेरोजगारी का !  हम जो सहायता सरकार की तरफ से कर रहे हैं क्या वह वाकई में उस कतार मे खड़े अंतिम व्यक्ति को फायदा पहुंचाने वाली है? 30 करोड़ लोग कम से कम इस महामारी की वजह से अबतक बेरोजगार हो चुकें हैं।  ये एक बड़ा संकट है। समस्या यह भी है की शहरों से गांव को लौटे लोग अब शायद जल्दी ही वापस भी ना लौटें ये एक बड़ा अर्थव्यवस्था का संकट खड़ा हो गया है।  अब इन लोगों को दुबारा अपने पैरों पर खड़ा करना भी एक बड़ी समस्या है।  

ये समझ आ गया की इतनी बड़ी त्रासदी के बाद भी हम कुछ नहीं सिख पाये।  जहाँ तक ताली बजाना या दिया जलाना था वो एक जनमानस का विष्वास था मेरे प्रति या कहें की मेरे देशवासियो ने अपने कर्त्तव्य का निष्ठापूर्वक पालन किया और मेरे प्रति आस्था प्रकट की कि मैं उन्हे इस संकट से उबार लूंगा पर अब ऐसा लग रहा है की वो विष्वास भी कमजोर पड़ रहा है। ऐसा नहीं है की मैं परेशान नहीं हूँ पर  समाधान मेरे पास भी नहीं है शायद।  मेरे द्वारा उठाये गए क़दमों से 100% लाभ देश को हुआ है ये कहना बेमानी होगा क्योंकि अगर ऐसा हुआ होता तो वो गरीब जो आज पैदल ही 1000 की मि अपने घर की तरफ चल चूका है  वो नहीं होता।  अब इस बात को समझना बहुत जरुरी है की देश अब तक औद्योगिक घरानो से नहीं चल रहा था अब तक देश चला रहे थे ये मजदूर, जो आज मजबूर होकर पैदल ही घर की तरफ जा रहें हैं। मन  चाहता है की ये सब मेरे भाई बहन वापस बड़े शहरों  मे आ जाएं  पर शायद अब जल्द ही  ऐसा नहीं होगा। 

कभी कभी सोचता हूँ की लॉकडाउन कर के क्या पाया, एक भेड़ चाल जिसमें ये सोचने की जरुरत नहीं की बाड़े में जा रहें हैं की बूचड़खाने में !!! ये बीमारी या महामारी सिर्फ देश मे ही नहीं बल्कि मेरे आसपास व्याप्त लोगों की मानसिकता मे भी है।  क्योंकि अगर ऐसा नहीं होता तो अब तक जितना पैसा और एनर्जी इस लॉकडाउन मे और इसके प्रचार में बर्बाद किया इससे कम मे और बहुत पहले उन सब मजदूरों को घर पंहुचा सकता था। कौन मदद कर रहा है इन मजदूरों की आज? वो आम आदमी जिसे खुद नहीं  पता उसका आने वाला कल कैसा है? पर फिर भी मानव सेवा मे पूरी तत्परता से लगा हुआ है।  इस आम जनता के प्रति हमको नतमस्तक होना चाहिए। 

हम नीतिनिर्धारकों को ये छोटी सी बात अब भी समझ  नहीं आ रही है की देश बनाने वाले आज बेहाल है।  नौकरशाही इस देश को नहीं चला पा रही है।  समय आ गया है  व्यवस्था परिवर्तन का? वातानुकूलित कमरे में बैठ कर,  45' गरमी में पैदल चल रहे लोगों का मर्म नहीं समझा जा सकता।  उसको समझने के लिए खुद को उस स्तिथि में डालना होगा।  आज की परिस्तिथि में खाना और सकुशल घर पहुंचना प्राथमिक्ता है और हमसे शायद ये प्राथमिकता  का अनुमान गलत लग गया।  इस देश में अब तक मूलभूत सुविधाओं का आभाव है।  मेरे या पूर्वरत सरकरों ने अब तक इन सुविधाओं पर बहुत काम कार्य किया, और शायद यही कारण है आज देश की इस दुर्दशा का।  हम आपसी राजनीती में ऐसे उलझे की राज करने की नीती ही भूल गए और अब भी जग नहीं पाएं हैं।  

अब भी जब अकेला होता हूँ तो ये विचार मन में आता है कि क्या मै अपने कार्य में सफल रहा हूँ?  मैं अपने जनसम्पर्क अभियान में जन से सम्पर्क ही स्थापित नहीं कर पाया।  और इसका बहुत बड़ा कारण ये व्यवस्था है और इसको चलाने वाले लोग हैं, हम नेता शायद हर 5 साल  मे बदलते रहे हैं पर जो नहीं बदली है वो है नौकरशाही और इसी न बदल पाई व्यवस्था के कारण देश शायद आज भी वहीँ खड़ा है जहाँ अंग्रेज छोड़ कर गए थे। और तब जाते हुए अंग्रेजो ने कहा था की जब हम इस देश को छोड़ कर जाएंगे तो ये देश बिखर जायेगा क्योंकि इस देश को चलाने वाले आपस में ही एक दूसरे की टांग खीचेंगे।  और आज की स्तिथि को देख कर लगता है की शायद वो गलत नहीं थे।  

आजादी से लेकर आज तक किसी भी सरकार ने देश से बस सच  छुपाने का काम किया है और हमने भी इसी परम्परा को आगे बढ़ाया।  मानव सभ्यता की शुरुवात से ही कुछ दोष रहें हैं पर उन दोषों पर जिसने विजय पाई है वो इतिहास मे अमर हो गया।  शायद अब सही समय है निर्णय करने का मेरे लिए - की मैं किस राह पर चलना चाहता हूँ।         

Logical Fallacies

Embracing the absolute power cannot be the motive - rather how to transact the nation so that power will achieve its ultimate goal of serving the last person standing and this can certainly makes the difference. And we can say the goal of the government has been achieved. Political party should know this fact that it is not that political party who makes the king it is always the public is the king maker. Ever since we have achieved our Independence and from Nehru’s government to Modi’s government we are still struggling in achieving the goal of “Selfless Service”.

Reference from the present pandemic could be - the deaths of Migrant laborers on the Highways of the country. If we have really achieved the goal for which the democracy has been adopted by India things would have been different today. Unfortunately, till now all the ruling parties in this country have adopted the theory of logical fallacies.  Because of this a huge cost has been paid by the country.  For any political party through all these years of independent India – country has not developed to its full potential.  Where the countries like Japan or Germany became super power in this period and do remember we all have started at the same time! They didn’t become economic super power by having nuclear bomb in their Armory, It is not a comparison it is more of a fact check.   

Since our Independence few unfortunate decisions took by the ruling parties which have certainly changed India forever e.g. Emergency of 1975, Operation Blue Star, Mandal Commission, Liberalization, Demolition of Babri Masjid, and many communal riots. None of these ever proven an instrumental change in the society for positivity rather had always created much bigger crater amongst the society. Many elections were fought on the basis of these illogical fallacies that country is doing well and many people did vote for it as well. These blunders have had the negative impact on the country’s mindset.

Often it is been said the present government does not know how to rule the country and it is sabotaging the principles which is being setup by the constitution builders for the united and secular nation. An example since Independence till 1994 there were around 50 communal riots took place in our country and many casualties had happened unfortunately we don’t know the exact numbers of the lives we have lost. And from 1997 till now around 14 more big riots took place in the country. Honestly speaking - what have we gained out of these riots? Which took place in different times and different parts of the country? But when you ask the leaders did we achieve something out of it? They will never be able to answer it honestly. Logic is “to be in the power does not matter how it comes to you”.   

Did we achieve anything out of 1991 liberalization? Those who remembered the decision at that time must be remembering the predictions for the 21^st century India which has been given by than government. The point was India will be economic super power in coming years and we will eradicate poverty. Again I will ask did we really able to achieve even the first goal of Liberalization? Did we eradicate the poverty? Answer we all know unfortunately farmer still have to commit suicide because he does not have money to repay his loan. But of course Tata’s, Adani’s, Reliance, Mahindra’s and many more like them have become global. Even Google CEO is an Indian. Becoming a CEO of Google has a motivational value but it does not give any economic benefit to a common man of this country.     

Another Fallacies – “Demonetization”: The only positive impact of demonetization (and that too temporarily) was that the banks became flushed with cash and a lot of people came into the mainstream banking system. And the Negative is – It is more than Three years now and 66 per cent of respondents in an online survey have said that demonetization had negative impact on economy and labour employment. And if you remember the 2019 election campaign where 100s of crore money been seized by police in deferent part of the country and mostly were high denomination notes, of course they were all black money.   

At present the entire country is suffering because of COVID-19 pandemic instead of combatting with it we are still busy juggling with the data of government aids or stimulus package to fight against it. At present country needs a black & white television but we have been provided with a colour television because in the form of stimulus package if someone says we are in one of the biggest economic crisis where more than 80% people have lost their jobs is all false. The need of the hour is instant practical aid to the country. One of the sayings of Veda’s - “If a person deviates from his path he deviate individually but if a king deviates the entire nation deviates”.      

Status Quo

Few years ago I was the media advisor to one of the non-political outfit and there I use to have conversations with the head of our organization he was instrumental in the 70s JP movement a renowned reformer and the backbone of the current ruling party of our country for long time. Once I asked him about our country - government and its governance and the role of a political party in the development of the country and also the role of Bureaucracy and bureaucrats in the smooth running of the country? He gave statement and said Bureaucrats are horses and the Politician are the Jockeys – and how the horse will perform this all depend upon the ability of the ability of the Jockey. Now just think how our country is performing at present?    

Every one of us knows in our country what kind of lifestyle is being led by our ministers; bureaucratese and high officials in comparison to the first world country counterparts of theirs. ‘They are leading the life of kings”. And on the other side when we see the Global Hunger Index ranking of our country in the world India stands 102 amongst 117 countries according to IFPRI 2019 October ranking. This ranking proves so right when we see the plight of our migrant laborers they all are walking back home without food and money. This pandemic has unleashed every political party in our country. One is struggling to take country out of it and others are in cashing the opportunity at this pandemic time.

At present so many deaths are happening around us, I know the vast and populous country like ours we do have people die of many reasons. But at present the situation is different and the death like this is not acceptable.  If you remember a movie called “Baby” in that movie the lead actor Akshay Kumar slaps a personal secretary of a minster because the statement what personal secretary gave regarding the soldier’s death in which he said “don’t talk about the deaths of the soldiers they will die because that’s their job”. It’s a very appropriate example for the present situation which display’s the exact mindset of the system which is in place today. It seems no one cares our job is to announce packages to take country out of economic crisis and things will be fine afterwards.

The common people especially the poor and lower middle class of the society which consist of almost around 99% of the total population of the country believes – their stature has not changed since independence - does not matter which party has ruled the country and unfortunately they believe it will never change as well. It is so unfortunate for any country where the population starts losing the trust in the system. Who is responsible for this? Of course the jockey is responsible he never knew which way the horse has to move and at what speed. Of course we are doing well as far as pandemic COVID-19 and its spread in the society is concern according to the govt. statistics. Here I would say there are very few countries in the world that are providing the real data. And of course it has to be a concern for the mankind but at present you really can’t do anything. It seems whatever is going around us at present is all about numbers. If you are a TV channel you need TRP if you are a government you need the data to show comparisons and development plans. Unfortunately none of the stake holders are opposing it openly. Probably it is all about you scratch my back I scratch yours.

Has anyone ever thought what is the ranking of India amongst the world countries in terms of World Press Freedom Index - according to 2019 ranking India stands at 142 rank three steps ahead of Pakistan and 30 steps below Nepal, Just imagine world’s second largest populous country and Press does not have freedom what the first world countries Press is enjoying infect I have talked about this in my previous post in detail under the heading “Journalists and their Journalism”. Our Jockeys does not know how to ride the horse or maybe they are hand in hands with their horse again If you are an optimistic you can always say we are better than many country in this sub-continent.    

As far as marketing of the development of the country as a product is concern it is going quit well but there is a defect in the production line – kindly rectify it as soon as possible otherwise marketing can’t hold the product for very long, do remember if the product has a defect doesn’t matter how good your marketing is – it will fall eventually. Let every machine perform their work accordingly single machine cannot perform the work of the others for very long.  

Journalists and their Journalism

Who am I? I am a present day Journalist with negotiation skill. Why I require a negotiation skill when I am a journalist? I require this skill to become a liaison. Why I want to become a Liaison? I want to become a liaison to exploit my position for my personal benefits but I am a journalist and my job is to cover and present the news for my audience! Though the present situation is - Journalism is divided into two sects: One who is with the government and other is against the government. The one who is with the power has forgotten their as well as the anti-government ones. What a pro government. journalist thinks? Pro journalists – represent government indirectly and always stand with the government decisions. And the anti-government journalist didn’t want to see any positives in the government decisions and mostly he represent the opposition political party and run those parties political agendas in public. Where we in India have adopted Democratic way of governance and in that - Journalism is defined as one of the important Pillar of Democracy. 

In Democracy it is never wrong to criticize your government - especially when you are a journalist and performing your duty honestly of course the power will not going to like you but that does not mean you should not criticize the government. This is what your job is. And do not only criticize the government do appreciate when you see things are going in the right direction. But if I ask - at present are we as a journalist’s performing our duty honestly? And the honest answer to the question will be a definite no. Why we see the news on TV? We see the news channels to know what is happening around us. And at present we have so many private news channels who overload us with the information’s which are very biased and provoking towards something irrelevant. Country is run by the government and they have to take care of many possibilities and in this an important part is played by the journalists for smooth running of the system with their informatics reporting. And there are very few journalists who dared to expose the government and because of their daringness they all are suffering right now and we should not hesitate to appreciate their work. Of course it has to be with proofs and of course investigating journalism has saved the country many times in the past.  .    

The sad period of Journalism is going on at present. And the journalists in many ways have gone to their all-time low. Here I would not say that government is not responsible for this, and If you are very active on all these mediums of information you can see the biased as well as neutral views of these journalists. A journalists take an oath – “I will perform my duty as a responsible journalist towards my country and my profession”. But what am I doing now? Am I really representing the way it is supposed to be represented? Answer of this question we all know and sadly I have to say it is not the right phase of journalism which is going on. Most of the big journalists of today have a very influential family background they have not become big because of their honest and dedicated service in the field rather influent has helped them become what they are today.

In the past - there were many reporters or journalists who have achieved their name in the journalism field with their brilliant work and big political leaders use to respect them. From the past we have many examples of fantastic journalism but contemporary one would be when the country was under emergency. At that time many journalists were imprisoned because of their investigative journalism and taking out the truth in front of the country which was against the government. You can’t ignore their work because without their support and work even Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan wouldn’t have achieved his Goal of toppling the Indira Government for the very first time of Independent history of India. Also many journalists at present time had learned their skills from those early and mid-70s senior Journalists but yes the time has changed now and because of which the definition of journalisms has also changed. Present day journalism is more about agenda setting and the journalists become the tools in the hands of politicians for their agenda setting games. Now a new trend has started in which the journalists disliking their own counterpart openly. This hatred towards each other has become so big now - that they go to any extent to insult and humiliate each other on public platforms. 

There are so many examples of biased reporting are going on at present in the news – which is quite shameful. A Journalist should not favor a government rather report the event as it is - and if possible with all its pros & cons. Unfortunately now a day we don’t see any such reporting these days. At present most of these big media houses are either being owned by big business family or under the influence of big political party.  And that is why they can’t stay neutral or unbiased - one of the recent example on which a rage is going on in opposition these days is of “Central Vista project” of Central Government many of us know what it is. But the way it has been presented to masses and which raise the question about journalists and their reporting and of course it is not neutral reporting by many big journalists. This is a fine example of agenda setting politics and in which lots of renowned journalists playing important part by supporting the opposition political party. What the opposition saying at present - the country is suffering from COVID-19 - why the government is continuing with this project?  Where a big amount is involved we should rather postpone this project or suspend it for the time being and fight and help the people who are suffering from this.  If you go back in history – you will come to know that this project of building a new Parliament House and some new Ministerial buildings were proposed long time back. It never took place because a very long period rather between 1989 – 2014 no single party majority government ruled India. In spite of urgent need of a new building was required to run the administration smoothly. The present government took initiative and decided to go ahead with this long pending project. Central Vista Project is one big project - like this several projects are going on in different parts of the country which are equally important. But the journalists are not interested in reporting those projects but this one because it is taking place in New Delhi. Of course on one hand it does make sense of suspending the project at present but on the other hand if we’ll stop the project it will slowdown the speed of the economic growth of the country. The government is providing uninterrupted employment to lot of workforce at this adverse time.  In the history of Modern and Medieval as well as in Ancient India we have many examples where the Kings initiated projects to provide their subjects work when the subjects didn’t have any work to take care of their families.  Certainly this example is not the comparison or I am saying government is doing the right thing. It is just an example.

Unfortunately most of us absorb the anti-government news as it is we do not try to find out about its authenticity and this is the advantage - what these journalists enjoy afterwards. Legitimacy in the reporting of theirs has gone away from the present day journalism. If you will start following the basic idea of journalism you will definitely going to help journalists and their followings. It’s been said that the present government has a team of volunteers whose job is to follow all the news channels throughout the day and submit the report to the their superiors at the end of the day and then accordingly the directives being issued to all the news channels on what content they should run and write on their respective formats. If it is true - then it is not a good practice in the democratic form of governance. But It is also quite sad for the organization to follow these instruction. The other truth is - every private organization needs money to run their show and money has to come to them from somewhere and if the hands of the supreme are on your back you are the King. And you have to oblige them as well.  

I have a suggestion – it is in practice in couple of countries BBC England and DW Germany are the example where news agencies do not come directly under the government undertaking. And they are independent bodies there. These two news agencies get money from the tax payers directly to run. This kind of system should also be adopt in our country but in our country we have a slight problem in implementing this system as the government does not get tax from major population and collection is low directly. But we can always donate a little amount from our pocket so this organization can run independently here as well. If you think you can be a responsible citizen of India and you want your country to flourish take a pledge and start donating whatever minimum you can think of giving. This act will certainly give confidence to the organization or the individual journalist whom so ever you think is doing a good job in the field of journalism.   

Chinese Imperialism

From British Raaj to Chini Raaj is that what the world is heading towards? This question must have arisen in the minds of many thinkers across the globe. The present pandemic has changed the picture of the world. As we see USA -  the super power or the big daddy is on his knees. And rest of the world is also fighting individually with the pandemic. Over 200 countries are suffering from this COVID-19. Wherever we know the countries having the best of healthcare system in the world are the worst affected ones.  This pandemic has not spared anyone on this planet.

Many theories are coming out on COVID-19 and many countries firmly believe in the manmade pandemic theory. It could be a biological warfare? At present China certainly wants to take over US in The Trade war and because of this trade war the world is suffering today. This trade war has taken the world to a different level all together it is more like Dictatorship fighting Democracy. The Communist Philosophy came to the world in the beginning of the last century and of course the Idea was different then what China has adopted at present. I don’t think communist taught anyone to kill anyone. It is blessing in disguise that after WW II majority of the countries adopted Democratic way of governance.

Do we know at present how many countries are opposing China or standing with China openly? Only president of USA has opposed China openly many times and still doing it, but in webinar G-20 summit he didn’t said a word against China when his counterpart was present in front of him.. In European countries like Italy, Greece and Hungary opposed China on this pandemic but now they are standing with China, Germany and France do not have an opinion.  Holland can’t oppose China because China has invested heavily in Holland. Like Holland there will be many more countries who will not oppose China. Definitely the world is divided on COVID-19 and this is not a good sign for world’s health. If you go back in time after the Second World War USA tried to become super power but the world divided into two part and we all went into Cold War. Nuclear war was the threat than and the entire world went into the competition of producing nuclear weapon. Now the game changer has taken place in the form of COVID-19. After the collapse of USSR in the year 1991 the world came out of Cold War and officially or unofficially USA became the Super power. Imagine what will happen when we’ll come out of this pandemic?

According to the Intellectuals world over - Chinese government has set the goal for the country to become Super power by 2049. Economic super power as well as the Military super power and for achieving this goal China will certainly go to any extent. This could be dangerous for the world. Of course many believe COVID-19 is one very good example of ambitious China. In the People’s Republic of China where people doesn’t have common civil rights which the world enjoy elsewhere.  Chinese Philosophy is “ruler is the guardian of the country and we should obey his decisions” and if China had killed his own people in the COVID-19 pandemic no one is going to oppose the guardian. And if someone dares to oppose he will not stay alive for long. Because of this we don’t see any opposition within the country at large. Government is free to take decision according to their wish. An example of dictatorship of Chinese government is seen by the world where the world was observing lockdown and Chinese were observing imprisonment. Chinese lockdown videos had seen by the world.

The question arises why China wants to lead the world? The policy what China is adopting these days - providing worst quality healthcare equipment to fight against COVID-19 pandemic to the world. The media reports covering the Chinese help has given the insight information regarding the quality of the products. What exactly China wants to prove to the world - maybe he wants to show the world “that I am your new Uncle Sam”. At this pandemic period when each one of us should look after each other the conduct of Chinese is highly condemnable. But still the help of China to the world will give China diplomatic edge over the others and certainly this move of China will help him on international platforms like UN etc. At present it is more about Global equilibrium.  

Another policy what China has adopted is investing in the stock markets of the other countries and HDFC incident of India is a very good example of his imperialistic policy. Timely the media has exposed it and government of India took decision on it and relevant policy changes have been adopted by the Indian government which certainly fumed China and they opposed this move of India on international forum. Because of this pandemic the world is facing the biggest recession after 1930s. Crude oil prices have gone to its all-time low in the last 18 years. Many Oil giants of US are almost bank corrupt and at present few things are favoring China in becoming of his the economic world leader and taking over USA.

   

On the other hand many unsolved mysteries are floating regarding spreading of COVID-19 in the world and how China has come out of it ! When you read the reports regarding Chinese conspiracy of COVID-19 and who all were involved. It’s more like a plot of a thriller Hollywood movie where military is mobilized, Secret service is mobilized; scientists were involve and Police doing their part everyone working simultaneously. All this is mind boggling. The story goes like - scientists after the irruption of COVID-19 have mysteriously eloped from the face of the earth many scientists got killed in neutral countries. A fugitive got caught at the US airport with virus in his bag. A team of 9 scientists from IIT Delhi have researched upon COVID-19 and came on a conclusion in which they said “it is a manmade virus” their report got published in an US Journal but because of Chinese government opposition and a pressure from strong Pharmaceutical manufacturing lobby of the world the team of scientists from India had to withdraw their papers and since then few of the scientists from that group of nine are untraceable. It sounds scary but it is true. Another angle about sudden out bursting of COVID-19 was not planned for now, instead it was a part of the preparation of future biological war of Chinese government but a mistake by an intern in Wuhan laboratory it has spread out in the public. And I am sure in the near future we’ll see a movie on this story line from Hollywood.    

Other possibilities what the world might see after this pandemic will over – the world will be divided into many alliances one prominent alignment of that division will be of China favoring countries and another will be US favoring countries or may be another big daddy like US will born by then and a new alignment will form. The situation of the world at present is very unpredictable. At present let’s all wait and watch for the future alignment. In the world politics certainly India will have to play an important role in this part of the future world. A race is going on between the US and China for acquiring bigger group support of likeminded countries by their side. Though China is leading at the moment because of their successful fight against the present Pandemic and US is still suffering. This Pandemic has made us learn our lessons and the lesson is “we should not depend upon someone else for our basic needs”. Certainly this Global Market Policy has caused many problems to the world and it needs to be rectified now. Otherwise more damage the world will see in coming time.

Thanks to your Kindness

The News coming to us these days is mostly negative and heart blowing. The most unfortunate one is the “Palghar” incident. Don’t know who was wrong there, but definitely the end result was not pertinent. Most of us must have seen the video of the incident; it definitely had popped off the heart of many of us. The other aspect of it has led us to think who we are? Are we actually a civilized society? Are we respecting everyone? How can we go and take the law in our own hands to punish someone without knowing their offence? A rumor of abductors has come to the village for kidnapping the kids. Which spared amongst the villagers of Palghar and such an inhumane incident took place.

And now there are set of people who are giving this inhumane act a communal angle, few of them have their own latent agenda through which they just want to blame someone. Few want the resignation of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. How many of us actually thinking on the humane angle? I doubt very few, because most of us are still seeing this as an incident of “wrong time, wrong place”. Of course it was a wrong place and no one who has died ever thought of this could also be a possibility of moving your location at night.

Our country which has a glorious past in which guest has always been considered as a God and God has arrived to your place and if the guest is a holy man its like icing on the cake. But then we hear such an incident which has shaken us so badly, it will take some time to recover from it.  Are we giving thoughts on the real culprit? Many theories are floating on social and electronic media regarding the incident. There is one thing which we are experiencing quite a lot since emergence of so many digital medium to express you these days has made the life of masses very difficult. The fake news industry is prospering in India since very long. Few of us must be remembering a lot of these incidents since very long but here I would like to give an example of the early years of 2000s, a rumor floated about SRKs death and we believed it-it has spread within hours from North to south and to all corners of the country. People have started giving their condolences as well. And SRK has to appear himself to tell I am all right. That was an era of no social media rather we were still in the early stages of our digital revolution, even then the fake news has made such a strong impact on the society that we all believed it blindly and we did not bother for the authentication of the news. This Fake news industry is the greatest weapon to create a battle amongst the society. And digital mediums or social media has become the armory to the fake news industry.

Who creates the fake news? Is this an individual effort or set of people or some organization is working for the benefit of few people/organization? Yes, there are different objectives to be achieved according to the place time and target. At present they all are coming out victorious sometime in the name of religion, cast and creed and sometime politically motivated. Whatever the goal is, end of the day it is the common man who is suffering and “Palghar” is the latest example of the innocent lives being sacrificed. 

Why Mob Lynching takes place? – At times it takes place in the name of religion, for the political agendas setting, marketing gimmick - you name it and we have a reason for it. Fake news industry is always working for it. I want to know in Palghar case who is the beneficiary - of course now we know who the sufferers are. The Sadhus who died there and afterwards the Villagers who will be facing the aftereffects and law will punish accordingly but the originator who ignited this event will never be trapped. And this is frustrating.  I wish we could nab those real culprits because of whom three innocent lives/ were lost and many more will lose in future.

Are we seriously wants to nab down the real culprits or there is no way through which we can catch them? Imagine these kinds of unruly miss happenings taking place to unstable the internal security of the country. As we all know that we are going through pandemic called COVID 19. And we are still struggling to find out its remedy. Of course we’ll come out of this victorious but simultaneously we have to deal with another fake news pandemic which is killing the innocent people.  

Another theory floating these days where the political “Pandits” are believing that there is a possibility of purposely instigating this incident - ever since the lockdown has taken place in India we are looking for blameworthy and thereafter we have started getting the news in which the media has targeting the Muslims for spreading the virus. Tabligi Jamat incident and the attack on the medical staff afterwards has given India a very bad reputation amongst the Muslim counterpart countries especially the Middle-eastern one’s with whom the present government has made lot of effort to stabilized the relations. Becayse now a days majority of Indians are not behaving appropriately with Muslims especialy in the lower middle class society of India which consist of a larger population of the country. And this news is crossing borders as well. This definitely has given bad publicity to the present government.  It will jeopardize the relation between the two countries. Because of this- the possibility leads to the persecution of Hindu community by the Hindus itself will balance the situation. There are so many conspiracy theories are going on and gaining publicity end of the day no one will ever come to know the truth behind it, but of course the life will move on and we’ll say “Thanks to your kindness, the world has become warmer place”
 

Freedom Struggle

The problem what a common individual is facing at this moment is his/her confinement to one place for very long now. This has led to the kind of situation which we have seen in Mumbai. It is not only the migrant labourers who are stuck away from home but everyone who so ever is stuck at some place away from their home because of this COVID 19. It is not about the food and money, it is more about the freedom of wandering freely has been taken away from all of us. Many of us must have remembered NCC Camp in our School days. I have attended and my experience was – when I use to attend the Camp only for 10 days in total, but it was very difficult to pass those 10 days. In NCC camp you have a schedule or a routine to follow till the time you are in routine everything was fine. The moment you get out of your routine it becomes difficult to pass your time there. And exactly this is what we all are experiencing wherever we are stuck at present.   

What we have seen in Mumbai after the PM’S address to the nation was very unfortunate. This could have been avoided if authorities have acted swiftly. We should not entirely blame the migrant labourer for this. If you talk to any of those migrant labourer and ask them what you are missing here. They will never say they do not have money or food rather they will say we are away from our family and home this is what we are missing. See who so ever is working as labours in big cities of India have a family at their native place. Psychology is - till the time I have a work even I am earning INR 400 a day only it is all right because I know what would be the evening like when I finish my day. At present what is happening I am not earning any money nor am I able to spend my day as I use to do before lockdown. And this is what leading to this kind of restlessness mentally which we are seeing amongst the people behavior these days.  In my surrounding what my mind is receiving is the news about a Corona disease which does not have any remedy and people are dying as of now. This is how my mind has conditioned and that is the effect which we are seeing on human behavior. This could be one of the main reasons why I want to reach to my family as soon as possible.

These days we are talking a lot about immunity of an individual do we know what is the level of immunity our majority of labour class has? It is 10 times better immunity than an average middle class of the country. How it is possible? It is possible because they are all physical workers and have a very good diet. They all have got stuck at one place where the kind of free food what they are getting irregularly provided by the NGOs or govt. organizations could not able to satisfy their requirement and hunger. First it is not regular neither has it had taste what they like. You have to understand the psychology of this migrant labourers here and you have to be smarter to make them satisfy with their demand. Because you being a manager who have a bigger responsibility to stop COVID 19 from spreading. You as an authority looking at a big picture but me being a lobour my understanding are only about me and my needs. I am convinced that I am not suffering from this disease then why I suffer. We have seen uncivilized behavior from the civilized people as well when they hid their travel history and not reported it to the authorities then why we are expecting this from of responsible behavior from these illiterate migrant labourers.    

There are few questions emerges in my opinion which we should answer first and probably there after we’ll be able to understand this situation perfectly.  Imagine we are all stuck at one place from last 20+days, majority of us do not have a regular routine which we use to have before the lock-down. How long one can watch TV? I know few can watch TV the entire day and I am one of them but still it is acceptable when things are normal. 

Quarantine is house arrest and no one on this planet likes to be confined at one place for very long, this certainly applies also on to any living being. And the present situation of ours is not by choice I am at home it is imposed upon me because of an invisible enemy who is out there looking for innocent life to attack upon. It is very stressful because of this unseen enemy, over movement is being restricted at one place majority of us have lost their jobs as well. It is an uncertain situation which has struck us because of which we could not able to act and react properly and here I am only talking about the literate middle class society of our country. Majority of us don’t have money now because if I will not have any work from where I am going to run my family. What would be the consequences of this  first of all lot of stress will come on to the mind which can lead to suicidal tendency as well it is all about how much stress one can take.  I was reading a news in which a young daughter-in-law committed suicide at her in-law’s place. What was the reason? The reason was she was a newly wedded bride and wanted to go back to her parents place but could not able to go because of this lock-down situation. She was from a middle class family wedded to another middle class family and because she has just arrived at her new home where everything was unfamiliar to her and suddenly her movement got restricted little because of the tradition what we follow and rest because of the lock-down. Mentally she could not able to cope up with this change of her situation and took this extreme step.

In this present situation a “social factor” can play a very important role. How? We can always talk about our concern/problems with our near and dear once inside of our house, and be positive always. It is a difficult time but it’s not  only for us rather entire world is facing tough time it does not mean this will never end. In the past our ancestors have also faced difficult times and came out victorious the same rule will apply to the present situation as well. Just believe in yourself and face it with open mind and heart.

Of course COVID 19 Pandemic is on a killing spree but we should condition ourselves to defeat this pandemic. Do not let your mind suffer rather indulge into positive around you. Believe me you and we all will come out of this successfully.
