                                                The Gandhi dynasty

Well is Gandhi family a dynasty!

 Are they like kings who have a darbaar and everybody pays obeisance to the master

 Is this assessment right may be not because they are after all elected representatives and they are running the government as per the mandate of the people but then is this really democracy that one family is deciding the fate of this country for the last 6 decades are we such a nation that e cannot find a few good men to run this country and we need the Gandhi family to do so .

The answer  to this is complex and in my opinion there is no clear answer firstly how did the Gandhi family came to be the first family of Indian politics is matter of great research after all the first family should have been the family of mahatma Gandhi but they are nowhere to be seen

How did this happen that this family has come to occupy power in India for so many years did Jawahar lal nehru plan this is it because of him or because of Indira Gandhi that this family has got a stronghold on the congress party and then the moot question is does the Gandhi family need the congress or congress need the family

Well firstly i don’t t think that Jawahar lal Nehru planned this, this was more a matter of  Indira Gandhi turning the congress party into a family affair and she was able to do it firstly because there was no credible opposition  and even if there was for some time it failed miserably  which led to the theory of TINA (THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE) so there  was no alternative for the congress and then there was no alternative for the family within the congress which led to state of perpetual dominance of this family  on this country .

Such was the state of affairs that Sanjay Gandhi decided that it was possible to turn this country into a dictatorship and forced emergency on this country but this black chapter of this family has also been forgiven by the people of this country

Why is that so?

Well it’s not just India if you look at the entire Indian subcontinent be it Pakistan ,Bangladesh  ,Nepal all of these countries are being run by families  the Indian psyche is such that we look up to these families  as rulers

just like we used to look up to kings and queens earlier they are still the rulers and we are still the public and this mindset of the people of this country led to state that these families have been able to carry on their rule it’s not just the Gandhi’s look at any state any party except the BJP even there there is passing the baton to the young member of  the family but look at  mulayam ,badals  karunanaidhi anyone and everyone parties are being run like pvt ltd organization  and this is because the Indian public allows it to be so .

Secondly if you  look at the political landscape there was no leader who could challenge the popularity or authority of Indira Gandhi  for decades congress has been the only party  in this nation and it had its presence across the country in every nook and corner it had members in every village of this country and there was no other party who could challenge that .

there was always a desire within the pubic for and alternative but none emerged the only alternative has emerged in the last two decades and that’s the BJP this party is the only credible option for the public and that’s why this party has not faded away like the others it has grown its presence and has a very huge base especially in the north and mid India it has not been able to penetrate the south and once it does that it would be forever a challenge for the congress which is good because it gives people an alternative and keeps congress on its tows and this alternative is the real killer of the dynastic politics .

So has this dynastic politics been good for the country well the answer to that is an emphatic no this family till date has done nothing for this country  the economic destruction of this country was started by jawarharlal Nehru and was completely destroyed by indiara Gandhi it looked as if she wanted to control every citizen of this country so everything from a simple phone connection to gas connection to a light connection was given after you thoroughly oiled the system and kneeled in front of the  system and lost yourself respect Indira  killed the natural entrepreneurial spirit of this nation and turned this country into a economic failure  because policies were decided by the whim and fancy of the leader and not what was right for the nation .

It is no surprise that the best prime minister that congress ever produced was Narshimha rao who turned a sick economy around with the help of Manamaohan singh and nation was up and running on its two feet  but that did not continue for long soon the congress was back in the lap of the family and the nations economy was again in shambles the last 10 yrs and especially  UPA 2 has been a nightmare why because the policy is not being decided by professionals but by the whim and fancy of Rahul Gandhi and his distorted vision and believe that he has the birth right to take this nation in the direction he wants to  that has been the case with every member of this family and rahul is no different .

That’s why this family rule is so wrong because it destroys the free spirit of this country everything is decided by the family and their whims and fancies and ultimately the nation pays the price as we have already paid for so many years

So what’s the way forward well India is changing there is new generation which is seeing the world from new eyes which is not burdened by the favour that this family thinks it has done to this country  they want the nation to forever grateful to them for them for the mess  they turned Punjab into which ultimately took Indira Gandhi life and then the mess that Rajiv created in Srilanka which took his life  this new generation has no such burden and they can decide the merit of a  leader on their work and what they do and that would lead to this change people are demanding action and results and they would vote for anyone who would do that .

The nation has moved on Rahul  is not getting any response from the pubic because he is mouthing the same words that his father said that his grandmother said  but nothing was done and now when he has been the real king behind Manmohan singh for the last 10 yrs and he has done nothing he is now again coming with the same old hogwash we will change this nation we will do this we will do that  and have no answer as why nothing was done for the last 10 yrs

Well this cannot continue and that would be the best for this country the Gandhi family needs to be decimated completely they need to lose elections is such a decisive manner that this aura that  thay have around them ,the way there is no leadership that is emerging in the congress all this needs to change the   fall of the Gandhi family would be good for the congress in the long run a new leadership would emerge that would challenge this stronghold leaders with mass appeal and vision would emerge its not if congress has no such people they are just not allowed to emerge the fall of the  dynasty would be good for both the nation as well as the congress

                                                  The secular debate

As elections approach their last mile the secular debate is getting more and more    shriller you hear more and more voices especially from the self declared secular brigade about secular and communal politics

You see politicians like Rahul Gandhi yesterday trying to shift the focus of this election from growth jobs and accountability to secular vs. communal divide

So who defines who is secular and who is not and what is the definition of secularism?

is it appeasement as done by so called secular parties or is it as defined by the BJP what they call nationalism  so before we go into this lets first look into what makes India secular does the congress party make India secular as they claim or the constitution binds everybody into being secular.

 well to me its the people of this country who makes India secular if i am not wrong 80% of this country is Hindu and more than that percentage the no of seats  on which the Hindu vote decides  the result must be around 85 %  so who stops the Hindu majority in this country from turning India into Hindu state after all it just requires a constitutional amendment which can be brought very  easily .

so why despite all this and the RSS and the VHP and the BAJRANG DAL trying very hard why is that we are still a secular nation and any party which tries to play with this is and will never be able to gain control of the power in Delhi  .

well the answer is that it’s the Hindu population of this county which makes India secular it’s the Hindu which wants that India should be a secular nation it’s the Hindu who voted for Jawaharlal Nehru when he first sought votes on this basis and got elected its the Hindu which has time and again voted for the congress and the other parties that has made India into a secular nation

it’s not so simple as it seems there divisions within the Hindu population SC/ST OBC this that but broadly its one faith and they want India to be secular and that why we are will always remain a secular nation thanks to the people of India and not to the congress or Nehru or any Gandhi and this the BJP found out to its peril in the 2004 election where despite running a good government they lost

 Why? 

Because they lost the vote of the Hindu population that does not want the BJP to go that path this new thought process i of BJP this talk of inclusiveness has been forced on them by the people of this country and not by anyone else

The problem with the political class of this country that they want to take the people of this country for ride, when the congress wins they say that it’s the win for their ideology and when the BJP wins they say its the win for their ideology  and they forget the real issue.

 When  you ask them what have you done on governance ,corruption they  hide behind this veil of secularism and try to take credit for what is basically the achievement of the common man and i am sure the same is going to happen with the BJP they will win on growth ,jobs but as soon as they win their mother organization the RSS  is going to assume that we have won on our ideology so let’s play with the secular fabric of this country and they will find out the implication of that but in that process India would have lost on another crucial 5 yrs.

 What no one seems to understand is that India has moved on, take the example of Rajasthan every five yrs there is sweeping change people are giving opposite mandates every 5 yrs so what do  you mean that if the congress wins then the people of Rajasthan are secular and if the bjp wins the same population has now turned communal  ,you take people of India for fools  .

The way the congress the samajwadi party and others are trying to turn these elections into a secular vs. communal debate shows a huge disconnect with the way India is thinking right now.

Solution for riots and disturbances is not the blame game but a comprehensive structure that binds every state government by law into acting in particular way when  such a situation arises there must be clearly laid down procedures which if not followed should lead to the removal and conviction of the home and chief ministers but who wants that.

 Riots suit everybody every political party when it’s in their interest.

 The political class of this country and especially those who have governed this country for decades and turned it into the mess as it is now want that people should never get out of this hogwash and vote for real issues and even if people vote for real issues they want to corrupt an loot this nation in the name that people have given a mandate for secularism.

 Sorry! people have not given the mandate for this they have given a mandate to do something and not sleep when there is open loot going on people of India can take care of the secular fabric of this country much better than any politician  ever can .
