People in general and the bhagats in particular fail to understand as to what I mean by political democracy and how it is different from constitutional democracy. The constitutional rights of the people are reframed in the party manifesto to bully us for fulfilment of our legitimate rights only if we vote for the party. There is a bargain in a political democracy than a dedicated will of a political party to implement constitutional rights of the people and constitutional duties of political party forming the government. Our Prime Minister Modi kissed the entrance floor of Parliament before entering the Temple of Democracy. The whole nation went emotional for the advent of a new messiah of Democracy, who will fulfill the hopes and aspiration of people. Now I will take you inside the temple to show how actually the democracy works in our country. Freedom is a very vital component of democracy. In 2011-12 corporates had the audacity to write letters signed by top 20 corporates headed ...

India has witnessed an unprecedented political change since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Development Alliance (NDA) government came to power. The sheer continuity of the government has surprised many as the impressive electoral journey of the BJP which has, by now, expanded its footprint and formed governments in every region of the country, Karnataka being the most recent one where BJP emerged as single largest party though it couldn't form her government. BJP's argument during the various state election campaigns has been that they could achieve their expansion due to a much better synchronisation between the Centre and the states where NDA is in power . That is why the BJP sees  Prime Minister Modi as the undisputed, universal leader. Now the moot questions are : 1. Has the government transformed the country's development contours? 2. Has this political change actually helped end poverty, social exclusion and discrimination in India? A dispassionat...

The Statue of Unity has come at a time when the euphoria of expectations of the people from the government has ebbed. The idea of development that once united all in 2014 has disillusioned the youth, the poor, the farmer, the unemployed, the women and the people in general. Deep political, social, religious and cast divisions run across the country over the last four and a half years. The country has witnessed and still experiencing the threat to unity. Believe it or not that deep under the psyche it is not difficult to read the mind of the government to raise the stature of Patel in comparison to Nehru - though Patel once banned RSS over Mahatma Gandhi's assassination. It is very strange that secular Democrat like Patel is hailed as only maker of united India by the believers of hinduttva politics. It is better to debate pointwise than getting personal. Anyone can have one's way of thinking. Asking questions to the government in power shouldn't be the cause for anybody ...

As the election 2019 is approaching near the BJP and some power licking media are on their way to confuse the nation with self cooked controversies to divert the people from the promised issues. It seems Sudhir Choudhary of Zee News is either under the spell of opium or his blind docility to  Subhash Chandra that has forced him to use, abuse and misuse his journalistic scholarship. However Ramdev has gone mum these days - not talking much about Modi. It is expected very soon Subhash Chandra will follow suit and instruct his media team to cease to be power sycophants. Does the BJP led govt has the guts to initiate a tirade against Mahatma Gandhi to condemn his association in the so called "game plan" of holding Congress to overshoot Netaji? BJP cannot because the Massolinized RSS led BJP is an anti democracy party which never took part in indian freedom movement, spied for the British government, opposed Quit India Movement and begged mercy for their life to be spared from ...
