Question The Government To Improve

One will see the improvement in government if the majority in the nation learn to question it. I am very clear in my mind. No confusion. Rather I am in pain that even my best friends have read me in a most incorrect way. Or I have not been read at all as I should have been and understood because I speak, I question. I question RSS, BJP, and more importantly Modi ji as all are related to the present government. In fact I question the Power to be. The followers do not like whoever questions the government. Simultaneously the leader as usual does not like to be questioned. He seldom attends, leave aside question hour, even normal parliament sessions; the leader who never faces the press and even answers the question raised by well read conscious citizens like me. The poster boy mugshot portraits on government Apps and all documents except death certificates are for self publicity rather than reaching out to people on one-to-one basis. He has no courage to face and answer dissent.  And now

Gandhi ji's Murder is Justified. What A Shame!!!

Gandhi ji's Murder is Justified Particularly on His Martyr's Day. What a Shame!!! Never in the history of independent India did anyone ever dare to eulogise Godse, the first terrorist of India who killed Mahatma Gandhi.  Particularly since the landslide electoral victories of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014 and 2019, the consequences of severe polarization have grown ever more worrisome. Mounting majoritarianism and political polarization in India are more toxic today than it has been in decades, and it shows no signs of abating. It is the support of those in power allowing the trend of hailing Godse that too on this martyr's day. Arrests on charges of sedition are selective and arbitrary for the ruling dispensation. For them deshbhakti is a farce and we who point out are anti Modi, deshdrohi, urban naxal, Pakistani, Khalistani, andolanjivi and what not.  An Uttar Pradesh doctor, Kafeel Khan was jailed because he dared to speak against the Home Mi

Self Indulgent, Attention Hunting Modi

Varanasi incident : 500 girls stopped the carcade of PM Modi in Sept 2017 to express their protest to draw PM Modi's attention to the persistent problem at BHU, of lack of security, sexual harassment inside the campus and ‘victim shaming’. Swachh Abhiyan incident December 2018 : PM carcade en route for Swachhata Shramdaan got stuck in Delhi's infamous traffic jam with no security route. The incident occurred when the convoy was returning from the launch of 'Swachhata Hi Seva' movement. In these incidents PM Modi never said let the CMs of UP and Delhi should be conveyed that he ducked the danger and was alive.  The fact of the matter is that Modi as usual again showed the world how petty his thinking is. Maturity would allow the investigative agencies to pursue and probe the possible "security lapse" to place their findings before the nation. It is a shame that the Supreme Court is doing the job of investigative agencies. The investigative agencies have ceased

2022 : A Challenge To Upbringing

Today we are into the year 2022.  Let us see how our level of cordiality towards others has been in the last 1 year.  There is no doubt that today's era is an attempt to be recorded in a different way in the history of India.  We have seen situations before 2014 and are seeing it even today.  A lot that has changed or that is changing or what we understand in the context of the changes that have to be faced is how do sensitive people like us keep ourselves apart from this difference or face this change from ourselves. A big question in itself!!!  Relationships are deteriorating due to blind devotion.  The atmosphere changed in such a way that it is not hidden.  People with whom we had a lot of friendships, good family and very close relations, there was a very cordial atmosphere in kinship, used to chat for hours together, there was no politics anywhere between intimate relationships and each other's favorite political interests and thinking.  Neither any kind of mutual animosi

वर्ष 2022 : नई पीढ़ी को गढ़ने की चुनौती

आज हम सभी साल 2022 में प्रवेश किया है। चलिए देखा जाय कि पिछले 1 वर्ष में हमारा दसरों के प्रति सौहार्द का स्तर कैसा रहा। इस मे कोई दो राय नही की आज का दौर भारत के इतिहास में एक अलग तरह से दर्ज हो रहा है। हमने 2014 से पहले की भी स्तिथियाँ देखीं और आज भी देख रहे हैं। बहुत कुछ जो बदल गया है या जो बदल रहा है या यह समझे कि जिन बदलावों को झेलना पड़ रहा है, इस परिपेक्ष में हम जैसे सम्वेदनशील लोग अपने आप को किस तरह से इस फर्क को अपने आप से अलग रखते है या सामना करते हैं, अपने आप में एक बड़ा सवाल है। अंध भक्ति के कारण रिश्ते बिगड़ रहे हैं। माहौल ऐसे बदला की जो छुपी नही है। जिन लोगों से हमारी बहुत दोस्तियां थी, अच्छे पारिवारिक व अत्यंत करीबी सम्बन्ध थे, नाते रिश्तेदारियों में बेहद सौहार्दपूर्ण वातावरण था, घण्टों एक साथ गपियाते थे, आत्मीय रिश्तों के बीच कहीं सियासत नही आती थी और एक दूसरे के पसंदिता सियासती रुची-रुझानों व सोच को लेकर न ही किसी तरह का पारस्परिक द्वेष पैदा की जाती थी, आज वैसी न तो परिस्थिति है और न ही वातावरण है। पूरा परिवेश विषाक्त होता जा रहा है।  बहस पहले भी होती थी, पर बिना किसी कड़वा
