The Moral Policing done by media on Feminism

Reinvent yourself, Preachers of Morality

The recent Uber incident shamed the country. And this is not the first time that India has witnessed such a dastardly act. Though we talk of ‘Development’ today, it also remains a fact that such rape cases are rising in number. This is the bitter truth. Molestation, Physical Harassment and Domestic Violence is what the women in India face almost daily. In some areas the situation is even worse. Ironically such incidents happen in a country which has a glorious past of worshipping Women! Worshipping The Goddess Gauri and Durga! This is the country who once regarded women as Goddess and Mother of All & in the same country we witness that women are treated even worse than animals. Rape seems to have become a daily issue with at one such incident being highlighted in newspapers or in media. Condition of women is not good , we all accept!
Women since ages have been blamed for being man handled. Every time a fatwa is declared banning girls from wearing jeans, using mobile and internet etc. The MSM calls it moral policing! Though some organizations give reason of the cultural obligations and all, the real reason as to why girls should avoid wearing tight jeans is still not accepted by girls and majorly by feminists , who are always involved in selective outrage and main stream media which thinks that to be modern means to have drinks, smoke, and wear so called modern clothes. No problem! Girls should wear clothes they wish but only those which don’t harm them and maintain the dignity of women. The real reason why girls should not be wearing tight jeans is because the nerves that run in outer part of the thigh gets compressed and the pressure on the nerves causes the symptoms like tingling, numbness and pain in outer part of thigh. This is proven and  Dr.Karen Boyel from Greater Baltimore Medical Centre says that this disorder is increasing day by day. This condition is called Meralgia Palenthetica. She further says in her interview to ABC ,’’sufferers report a floating sensation—basically, because they can't feel their lower legs—along with pain in the thighs. Ouch. Unfortunately for women, the problem can be exacerbated by high heels, which cause the pelvis to tilt, increasing the pressure on the nerves in question.’’ While the west is already rejecting its attire and is engaging more with Indian attire like Kurta’s and Saree’s even Leggings what we are doing in the name of modernization is that adopting west which in turn is rejecting itself!! And if this writer asks girls to wear less of tight jeans, ultimately this author will be turned down and called an orthodox! So be it. But the media and the feminists who are actually outraged by such comments from khaps or other organizations only debate and indulge in blame game instead of searching for the real reasons behind the repeated occurrence of violence against women.
One day a rape case is highlighted by MSM and Feminists are out in media but not once did I saw these feminists wearing modern clothes! What instead I see is that they are either in Saree or in Kurta! Interestingly the people who say they are voicing women don’t actually understand that they are not! What an Indian household wife thinks is far more civilized than what these people talk of. Ask any household woman about increasing rapes, her answer will be that girls should act as per a women’s dignity & feel free to speak and boys need to understand their limits. But how will the show go on if blame game is not debated? Instead of debating on reasons, causes and effects of such incidents and drawing a conclusion out of it one side blames girls for the clothes they wear and other side blames boys for their mindset. And some politicians gain importance by giving statements in media out of turn. That’s it! Two day coverage and every one forgets what happened yesterday.
Its really amazing to note that feminists lecture men on morality but are enraged when they are told the real meaning of morality. Are men always to be blamed for all rape cases declared to be one without investigations by media ? We saw what happened in Badaun and what these people declared it to be! Ultimately because of this what happened is that this matter was dragged into UN and UN gave a statement on this saying UN is worried over such Badaun incidents happening in India! (In reality, badaun was not a rape case at all! But India was lauded for this!)Who is to blamed? When CBI concluded its findings no one absolutely no one debated the issue! And who gained importance? My Country! Which is now being recognized as a country of rapists! Media is not be blamed but the whole system which works in media pressure and of course the society. What can be concluded then??.
Some say we need to toughen the laws. But the already tough laws are paving way to its misuse!  One day we shout out loud against violence and the other day we forget it while we all are silent when women themselves misuse the laws for their own sake.  No one reports the cases where innocent men are accused of rape & in reality are absolved! Still the outrage continues as if women are still ‘Abola Nari’.  The NCW, Delhi itself has said that women are actually filing false rape cases! Consider this:  While in 2012, the acquittal rate in rape cases was 46%, in the first eight months of 2013 (for which exact figures are available) it shot up to 75%. Sources said acquittals remain high this year as well, accounting for around 70% of the cases. Legal experts say the high acquittal rates are because of a spurt in the number of false rape cases being filed. The observations of judges in acquittal cases also bear this out. "This is an unfortunate trend. In many cases, women come up with the plea that they had registered the case out of anger and due to misunderstanding," said additional public prosecutor A T Ansari, one of the main prosecutors in the Nirbhaya case. A senior woman lawyer has  said, "It's sad but true. Registration of false cases is rampant and hence, the alarming acquittal rate. The new law is being misused because of the widened definition of rape." Experts feel the amended law is "widely-worded" and "ambiguous" in parts and lends itself to misuse. In around 90% of acquittal cases, the victim turns hostile. Mostly, it turns out to be a case of a relationship gone bad. The sex is consensual but the victim claims that the consent was given on account of promise of marriage. Worried over the disturbing trend of false complaints, even fast track courts trying cases of sexual offenses have been raising concerns over the matter. In July last year, while acquitting a 75-year-old man of the charges of raping his maid, a fast track court observed that the capital has earned the notoriety of India's rape capital because of the increase in false rape cases being registered in the city. The alleged victim in this case had admitted that she registered the case because she wanted to usurp the accused's property. In some cases women have admitted that they filed false cases so as to bury their embarrassment on extra marital affairs! Are we still going to claim women are ‘Abola Nari’?
This writer read the open letter written by Sehnaz Treasurywala, as a girl myself, I appreciate her bold act and some of her questions should really be looked into and stand by her for all that she suffered and even many women suffer the same daily. In her letter he asks for help from Film fraternity and blames the PM for condition of women. I found this a bit rhetoric! After all, many men have accepted that a girl’s dress do incite their feelings! I m not blaming girls but this is the fact   what men think of us and it should be actually accepted by us. This is one of the main reason behind molestation as thought by men! Yes Men should be taught the lessons of morality but at the same time we too should introspect! And where does NaMo comes in between, Miss Actress? In this case, the Indian Govt is trying to do its best to secure women, and provide secure transport to women and u blame the Govt and ask for help from film fraternity!! Many parents have said and admitted that the films do have some bitter impact on boys and girls providing them a chance to get a bit immoral!! Even if Govt provides security still some cases appear still the one to be blamed is Govt. And what will Govt do? Bring laws and nothing. Govt cannot preach morality! We need to rise above Govt! What NaMo speaks in US, Australia or elsewhere is that of dignity for women as he’s expected to do so. But its not Govt but our society which is to be blamed actually. Still we conveniently turn a blind eye to this reality. Men need to understand that Woman is his sister, his mother and his wife and even his daughter!

 Instead of being fair with all, we are supporting that which is wrong and condemning that which is right & it  has become a habit! Where are we heading to? In name of modernization we are forgetting the Indian values and morality. Here yet again morality is not preached by these organizations who declare fatwa and orders but is taught in the society. The society is getting more and more of material and less of morality! Its the society that is producing the rapists as well as racists and also the girls. If anyone is responsible for this is the society which was unable to adapt its culture according to changing times. This selective outrage does not mean empowering women! We cannot even blame the Govt as even Govt has some limits! The responsibility lies with the society as to how it wishes its future generations to be? How does it wishes its own future to be? And how do we wish our future India be? We need back the same India which worshipped Women as Goddess and even took care of her as a special person. Why is it that this land once produced Gargi, Maitreyi, Draupadi, Sita, and today is also responsible for Nirbhaya and Veera? Blame Game has to stop and Society has to revisit itself and reinvent the ways of its teachings. After all its not the male, female, media or Govt that forms the nation; its the society that forms the nation and decides its future.

Mr.Modi is Modi & Sardar Patel was Sardar Patel

Rashrtiya Ekta Divas


It was on Friday 31st October,2014 that Nation was celebrating Birth Anniversary of Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as Rashtriya Ekta Divas. Born in a Gujarati Family, He played a pivotal role in shaping the Modern Day India. Trying his best to merge all 562 princely states into one was not an easy task when Britishers had already done their best to divide India. Even the then PM of Britain Winston Churchill was of the opinion that British should not leave India or it won’t take much time for the territory to b divided into 500 small states and increase of instability in Sub Continent would be disastrous. Churchill had also opined that in near future there would only be violence in the Sub Continent and nothing else as there would b constant friction in the territory. Even today there are many who years back had said that the Idea of Unified India is foolish as a Nation with diverse regions, language, colours, faiths, etc can never remain united. One or the other day India had to divide. But all those ‘Bhavishyavanis’ miserably failed. Except the partition of India n Pakistan that too the brain child of The British no further division took place in India. Its been 68 years now and not a single state is separate today. India remained intact. And this is a matter of great surprise, excitement, curiosity and investigation for many historians and political analysts. How did this happen? How Can this happen?
15th August 1947, India became an independent nation. And Sardar Patel was one of its Founding Fathers. He was the first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister of India. He was a Congressman till his death but also was an ardent follower of Hindutva in his personal life. After British gave a proposal of making India free at the cost of partition ; Sardar Patel had said, "I fully appreciate the fears of our brothers from [the Muslim-majority areas]. Nobody likes the division of India and my heart is heavy. But the choice is between one division and many divisions.’’ According to the Plan of 3rd June 1947 , Britishers gave all the 562 princely states an option of either joining India or Pakistan. At that time M.K.Gandhi entrusted Sardar Patel to look into this matter and make sure that our Idea of Akhanda Bharat remains intact. This task was not at all going to b a cakewalk. Most difficult were the princely states of Junagarh and Hyderabad. But Sardar Patel yet again proved that He was a Master Strategist and He laid the foundation of Modern Day Hindustan. This great leader rubbished the fears that India will b divided into many and  proclaimed to the world by his actions that though India is a diverse land but it shares same culture and same Dharma that binds the Indian society. This was overlooked by all but Sardar Patel knew this and thus shaped India.
Not only Sardar Patel but there were many revolutionaries who strived hard to get India Independence. Even after Independence, many leaders ; in fact all 14 Prime Ministers and their council of ministers helped shaping India in area of development. No doubt that Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi too contributed their bit towards the progress of India. There may be many reservations on this. But fact remains these were the leaders of a political party ( dynast party) who did something towards India. These people have been given their due respect which they deserve. But there are some who are forgotten to the core. Today’s history books are full of Pandit Nehru, M.K Gandhi, Indira Gandhi etc but barely a paragraph is described about rest of the revolutionary leaders Like Sardar Patel, Bhagat Singh, Jayprakash Narayan , Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Dr.Savarkar,and many more to name. Some of whom I named are not even recognized as Leaders who made India. Half of the country’s young don’t even know who they were. But today my head hangs in shame when I see the same political party who actually helped get India her independence, who only respected Nehru and Gandhi, who never gave a thought about the contributions of other great Leaders who contributed much more to India’s Freedom Struggle ; Today is playing petty politics over the issue of celebrating Rashtriya Ekta Divas. Congress never ever remembered Sardar Patel for his great contributions but today is scoring yet another self goal by questioning the Prime Minister’s step to observe a ‘Run For Unity’ programme just to remember the Iron Man of India which they did not for past 60 years! Not only Congress but some authors and Congress sympathisers too are indulging into the stupid blame game. Its Shameful.
What Congress alleged was the Prime Minister did not pay respects to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on the day she was assassinated. Either they wilfully turned blind to the tweet by PMO and PM himself or they played deaf to what Prime Minister said while addressing the crowd at Rajpath on 31st October. Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha tweeted saying that PM has no originals to pay respect to as till now he has only highlighted Congressman. But he forgets the fact that Congress is no more the Congress it used to b 50 years back! Those Congressmen like Patel and Gandhi were totally different from what Today’s Congressmen are. First they cried foul over observing Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan on 2nd October Gandhi Jayanti. Why was anything wrong to actually act on the principles of M.K.Gandhi rather than only a photo op on Government advertisements? Just because these were Congressmen does it make them their copyright? These were the Leaders of Nation because they served their Nation and hence belong to the Nation and not to today’s Congress Party. When Congress was in rule they never made the nation familiar to those Leaders but when Prime Minister Modi who according to them is a non secular, right wing leader actually commemorates their contributions by celebrating it , Congress cries foul! And some Congress Sympathizers from India Today Group write a blog saying Mr.Narendra Modi is trying to get into Sardar Patel’s shoes! That Mr.Narendra Modi is playing politics as he knows he cannot be Indira Gandhi as ‘Indira is India and India is Indira’ was her stature at that time which Mr.Modi cannot achieve!
This writer dosen’t know what majority of the people think about this but this writer opines that yes certainly Mr.Modi can never be Indira. But he can be The Narendra Modi . And when they dare to say that Mr.Modi is trying to be Sardar Patel let me say this with utter conviction that the writer is totally wrong to compare two different leaders of different times. Sardar Patel can b compare to absolutely no one. Not even Nehru. Each leader has his own stature and comparing him with someone else shows your narrow-mindedness. Neither can Patel be Nehru nor can Modi be Indira and nor can Modi b Patel. This very comparison of Modi with National Leaders shows that they feel insecure ‘what if he does better than Indira?’ What Indira did is known to the world. Operation Blue Star, Emergency, Khalistan movement all happened under her regime. Yes she did some good work too but this writer has her own reservations on this. When she was killed she was declared a martyr. Again; she did not died for her country. She died of the wrong policy she started. Assassination of any PM of a Republic is highly condemnable and sad but she did not died willingly for nation’s cause! It was exactly the same day that 1984 Sikh Riots took place. Thousands were killed but till today none is punished. And the same party when asked about 1984 Sikh riots starts blaming the Prime Minister for 2002. To their best of information the culprits of 2002 have been punished and are in jail while the culprits of 1984 are still roaming free and not a single is punished for the same cause. Sad but true.
If observed closely the problem with these people is not Mr.Modi but the fact that someone who is not a Nehru , who’s not a Gandhi is given so much of respect which today not even Gandhis’ are given!  Its shameful that Congress and some historians ( so called, self proclaimed historians, included Congress sympathizers and communists ) have taken objections to celebrate the Birth Anniversary of a Leader because of whom we are today Proud to Be Indians and Proud to belong to India. And those attacking Mr.Modi on Why only Congressmen let me remind them that Dr.Shyama Prasad Mookherjee, Jayprakash Narayan, Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay, Swami Vivekananda, Shri Ramkrishna Paramhansa, etc  are some leaders who always are remembered by him in his every speech as a part of his reaspect to the leaders.
Rest whether you call it politics or no politics , as a common citizen of this country this writer is happy that the young who didn’t knew who Sardar Patel was ; today are interested to know about him which may inspire generations together. And yes Mr.Modi will also be remembered as the only Prime Minister who made the Country familiar with National Heroes ( apart from Nehru and Gandhi ). To all Modi baiters who call Modi supporters as ‘Bhakts’ i,e devotees ( I doubt if they understand the meaning of devotion and by saying so are disrespecting the mandate given by the people by ridiculing all of them who voted for him) ‘Whether you Hate Mr.Modi or You Love Mr.Modi , U simply cannot Ignore Mr.Modi....’

May My Country Remain United Forever as a Peace Loving Nation...........Jai Hind!

Black Money Issue & We the People



Rome Was Not Built In A Day!


Much has been said, discussed and talked about Black Money issue since the Government filed its response in Supreme Court of India stating It cannot reveal names of account holders in foreign banks , this Friday morning. The focus of main stream media has been only on NDA = UPA 3. In fact even people were on high expectations that the black money will be brought back in 100 days as claimed by Modi himself during election rallies. As a result of which now people are loosing their confidence on Government on this issue of black money. The problem is not with people and their lack of understanding but with the media which is not letting out the TRUTH. Fact of the matter is Government failed to take into consideration the people of this country and went on with their work. This may somewhere hurt the image of Mr.Modi as people have already started hating him. My point is simple: The government should have made a statement much before and then carried on with their efforts to bring back black money but on the same time even the people should repose their faith in the newly formed government which formed an SIT on the very first cabinet meeting i,e on 27th May 2014.
It all dates back to 2011 when senior Supreme Court Lawyer Mr.Ram Jethmalani filed a petition in Court in this issue. From then onwards the court was asking the then incumbent government to form an SIT in this regard but it failed; inviting wrath of Supreme Court. It was then in election campaign in 2014 when the BJP’s Prime Ministrial Candidate Mr.Modi ( now PM of India ) had attacked the UPA for its failure to form an SIT. Now when he’s become PM he kept his promise of bringing in black money when the cabinet approved to form an SIT. The allegations made after today’s stand in SC are that Ambani, Adani and all those who r said by the media to b close to Mr.Modi have their accounts there and hence the Modi government is refusing to disclose the names. This argument though well received is completely hollow for the reason being: If at all , lets consider for a moment, Mr.Modi is trying to shield those industrialist then the very first thing is he would have never asked an SIT to b set up. He could have argued in the Court for years together like the previous government did. But he did not. So the ridiculous argument of shielding Ambani and Adani stand nullified. Another point is that people claim it that Ambani’s and Adani’s have accounts in Swiss bank. My argument: Who told? Is there any proof? How come the common man knows who has accounts in foreing banks and who has not? Has the media hub which claims at the top of voice any evidence to support this argument? If they have then instead of telecasting it they should submit it to the SC. Next argument made is Modi is only a talking parrot. My counter argument: If Modi is talking parrot then Why did u believe him for last 5 months? If Modi is a talking parrot how is it that India and Switzerland are working on bilateral agreement on black money case? If Modi is a talking parrot then how come Swiss officials who till now were in denial mode agreed to share information in this regard with India? How come is the Government trying to sort this issue with Mauritius and Germany? This again proves the hollowness of some elites trying to blame Modi Government. Yet another stupid argument is that BJP leaders of which some cabinet minister’s names are being attached have their accounts in Germany and hence the Government is not ready to disclose the names. If cabinet was involved they would have stopped the FM and PM from doing so. But what Ravi Shankar Prasad said in media briefing was this,’’The cabinet unanimously approved forming SIT in this matter’’ Do I again need to highlight the word Unanimously!
Interestingly when so called opposition leaders are attacking the government even the people have started criticising the same without knowing the nitty gritty of the case. The very first thing to be considered is that in 1995 the UPA government signed a DTAA agreement with Germany  where the clause prohibits from disclosing the names of account holders as a matter of privacy and also says that unless the charges are proven nothing should be disclosed. Even the Supreme Court guidelines state this and I quote,
1.‘’That ..The Union of India is exempted from revealing the names of those individuals who have accounts in banks of Liechtenstein, and revealed to it by Germany with respect of who investigations/enquiries are still in progress and no information or evidence of wrongdoing is yet available’’
Clearly the Court says not to disclose anything if enquiries are unable to prove charges!The order goes on to say,
2. The revelation of details of bank accounts of individuals,
without establishment of prima facie grounds to accuse
them of wrong doing, would be a violation of their rights
to privacy. Details of bank accounts can be used by those
who want to harass, or otherwise cause damage, to
individuals. We cannot remain blind to such possibilities,
and indeed experience reveals that public dissemination
of banking details, or availability to unauthorized persons,
has led to abuse. The mere fact that a citizen has a bank
account in a bank located in a particular jurisdiction
cannot be a ground for revelation of details of his or her
account that the State has acquired.
The right to privacy is a Constitutional right of every citizen of this country and hence in any case it cannot be violated. If everything is disclosed it may lead to infringement of a person’s right merely on the ground that he has an account in this bank. It further says,
3. Whether the State itself can access details of citizens bank accounts is
a separate matter. However, the State cannot compel
citizens to reveal, or itself reveal details of their bank
accounts to the public at large, either to receive benefits
from the State or to facilitate investigations, and
prosecutions of such individuals, unless the State itself
has, through properly conducted investigations, within the
four corners of constitutional permissibility, been able to
establish prima facie grounds to accuse the individuals of

wrong doing. It is only after the State has been able to
arrive at a prima facie conclusion of wrong doing, based
on material evidence, would the rights of others in the
nation to be informed, enter the picture.
None can compel the person to disclose the identity without going to fair trial. If proved the citizen have right to know who the traitor is but not unless the charges are proved.
4. There is no presumption that
every account holder in banks of Liechtenstein has acted
unlawfully. In these circumstances, it would be
inappropriate for this Court to order the disclosure of such
names, even in the context of proceedings under Clause (1)
of Article 32.
In all the above statements by the H’ble Supreme Court of India , The Court has unequivocally said that unless the charges are proved no one, absolutely no one can disclose the identity of a concerned person and infringe his/her’s right to privacy. Still the main stream media and some 5 star activists working for others , funded by others, Modi baitors, and all anti national elements are shouting out on the top of the voice that Modi Government is making a U-Turn. I would like to highlight the fact what Mr.Mukul Rohatagi (AG) said today. He said,’’ Not ALL information can be disclosed and made public’’ He said Not ‘’ALL’’! Means some things which are prohibited by law cannot be made public as a result of right to life with dignity and the right to privacy of concerned person may be infringed! And State and Judiciary are there to protect the rights of the citizen and not to breach them! Even the FM Arun Jaitley said that DTAA act is the problem and the government is trying its best to sort it out and further schedule of this will be made public shortly! When FM himself is clarifying that the government will sort out things and is committed to bring back all the black money irrespective of come what may.........Still We the People instead of standing by the government are criticizing it for its failure! But my question is where is the failure? For argument’s sake Mr.Modi indeed said 100 days but which 100 days (?) that’s not mentioned by him! And even Rome was not built in a day folks!
Twitter and Facebook comments show lack of understanding of law among masses. The matter is pending before the Supreme Court- The highest authority of Law in India. And when SC has not objected to this then we the people who don’t even know the ‘L’ Of Law are no one to comment on this serious issue. Rest the Law takes its own course and the matter is in safe hands when an SIT is set up by Supreme Court itself and Court is monitoring it as well. We need not create ruckus and tell the whole world how our brains work. Instead wait and watch. Sabra Ka Phaal Meetha Hoota Hai. ..........

Pakistan Diplomacy and Indian Politics



Dreadful Act sometimes May prove Harmful



In recent times the relations between India & Pakistan have worsened much. It is not as of now but the game dates back since partition. If we give a closer look to history of Indo-Pak ties ; they always were tensed. May it be 1949, 1965, 1971, 1999, 2012, 2013, and as of now 2014. With rise of new government in Pakistan last year , the diplomacy was hoping to see a new era of peace n friendliness. But instead what came up was quite as expected by defence analysts. Beheading of Indian soldiers and continuous ceasefire violation along LoC and International Borders by Pakistan , Rise of terrorist activities in PoK & J&K , Pakistan’s camouflaging Hafeez Saeed and not to forget the recent violence along IB n LoC have added to the rivalry. Every time when Pakistan violated d ceasefire ; India would ask for a Flag Meet. Each time India was found to be victimised but suddenly the rise of Nationalist BJP n Prime Minister Narendra Modi has drawn some red lines which could have been done a long time back, say Defence analyst. The problem lies where Pakistan intensifies d violence at border and on the other hand tries to cry victimhood of terror ( home grown terrorist outfits) at UN. India never objected on any peaceful resolution of K-Word but I can say with full responsibility that it was always India first who welcomed any such resolve and later it was always found that Pakistan can never be trusted as when talks would start the borders went tensed.
The year 2014 was very important for India as The Largest Democracy was to elect its New Government for next 5 yrs. And surprisingly a non Congress and non coalition government with full majority came to power. There was quite a excitement and enthusiasm among people regarding what Foreign Policy will the New Government headed by PM Narendra Modi ( whose image is that of a Hindu Nationalist ) will adopt  vis-a-vis Pakistan as the same party had argued that the stand taken by UPA government was quite shabby and it needed a new approach. New Approach was indeed taken when the PM invited SAARC leaders on his swearing-in ceremony ( which led to much criticism but was also welcomed by public at large ). The meet between PM Modi n PM Sharif was hoped to b fruitful when the leaders decided that there would be secretary level talks between the two countries. But then the equations went horribly wrong and since 27th May there have been no talks between the two. Did Pakistan went wrong in judging the changing winds in India? Was the step taken by PM Modi too much aggressive as compared to past governments? Was the decision to retaliate forcefully to any violence on borders  expected from PM? Why are major political parties unhappy with the  tough stand taken by government when Indians are actually with Mr.Modi? Why is army feeling more strong today as said by Army Men themselves? These are some questions which may or may not have answers but I would try to analyse them.
Let us go back to LS polls campaigns. It was BJP led by Modi , asking d then government to take tough measures to deal with Pakistan and Modi himself was mocking at UPA n giving harsh statements. He was actually mocked by Media when he said ,’’Talks n terror cannot go hand in hand’’ But to my surprise was welcomed n praised by d same media when it came to ‘Bullet for Bullet’ policy. While the Pakistan apologists in India are trying hard to push onus on government to invite talks newly the GOI is showing no signs to budge from its stand it took even while campaigning. If we observe keenly the Pak media n diplomats incl. Army, since 2013 was weary of ‘what if BJP n esp. Modi comes to power?’ Will he walk the talk? Will there be yet another war with India? Will Modi talk tough? These were the questions on which Pak news channels were actually debating....... What If? Was the nightmare for them but when this became a reality the tone changed n the debates were What Now? And in this ‘What Now’ Pak leadership ( Army ) actually tried to test the changing winds but to everyone’s surprise when talk was actually walked Pakistan was blown away with winds. It was cornered not only on Bilateral  stage but also on International Platform whem PM Modi said at UNGA, ‘’ Kashmir issue needs to be resolved Bilaterally and it cannot have an outcome on multilateral platform. I am ready to have a talk with Pakistan ‘WITHOUT SHADOW OF TERROR.’’ This was the second time Pakistan should have realised what India expects. Red Lines were already drawn when GOI said ‘ Either talk to separatist or to Government’ . Alas! Pakistan went horribly wrong and it suffered heavily at the hands of Indian Army. Overall the Bullet to Bullet policy seemed to be working when intensity of violence at border was reduced much. Even the forces seemed to have voice when they were in front of the camera assuring the Nation that India is in safe hands with BSF. Indians were seemed quite rejoicing when they saw BSF giving a befitting reply to Na-Pak act.
To Nation’s despair the so called opposition started politicizing this issue when the borders were at stake. The problem with them was , as I can see, PM was addressing rallies in Haryana n Maharashtra and the meetings saw huge crowds n not even half of it turned to that of Congress, SS, MNS, SP, BSP. Congress started saying and I quote,’’ This is happening because the nation is not having a full time Defence Minister’’ This was d most courageous and stupid allegation by former ruling party. During UPA’s tenure Nation had full time Defence Minister who on the floor of the house said Hafeez  Saeedji and Osamaji still nation saw a host of terrorist activities. It was during UPA’s rule when Army men said they were feeling like being handcuffed. What happened when there was full time DM , The Nation saw it. They were courageous enough to point out their own failure n stupid enough to alleged that part time Defence Minister actually tries to make borders violent. On the other hand J&K CM Omar Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti seems to apologetic of what Pakistan did. They were actually urging the government to start talks to end violence at the time when Many of OUR civilians were killed , many injured n lakhs displaced?? Yes, This issue can be resolved through talks only but not at the cost of life of innocents! The nation actually expected these great leaders to stand with Armed Forces at the time of crisis. And amazingly the separatist were nowhere to be seen when it came to Bullet for Bullet policy. SS n MNS chief’s said When borders r tensed the PM has locked his PMO n is campaigning for his party in poll bound states. The persons who don’t know even the ‘D’ Of Diplomacy should have kept silent but saying thus they made a biggest self goal. Is PM expected to go on borders with gun in hand at this time? Is that what they wanted? They ignored the heavy price Pakistan paid for this act and faced public ire on social media by giving such statements. It was shameful for the politicians and former ministers to say that GOI is not doing good to the nation. But this is India and everything needs to be politicised here.
Apart from the shameful n condemnable politics played by Indian politicians the other part also needs to be understood where it all went wrong for Indo-Pak ties. It all started when Pak PM seemed to be going friendly with India when he visited swearing-in ceremony. The Pak Army , who actually is also the untold MEA for India , thought it to be a sham and then on the internal politics became unstable. Imran Khan n Tahir ul-Quadri started protesting for reasons known to Lord. Defaming and using foul language for PM Modi has become a fashion to gain publicity there. To hide the truth that people living in PoK are demanding Independence from Pakistan ; they well planned the act of intensifying border violations and crying victimhood to UN of India’s violence. But it went horribly wrong when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon said that this issue needs to be resolved bilaterally. Still Pakistan is trying hard to bring in UN but seems it will fail again as UN has not given it a look for more many yrs together. It will be an act of stupidity by Pakistan if it still tries to test Mr.Modi as it has already suffered badly and War is not the option at all. Some Pak Defence Analyst are on record to say that a war with India this time would finish Pakistan off once and for all. At least they must be paid heed by PM Sharif.
India was never a aggressive country for mere reasons that India gave the world the message of ‘Live and Let Live’.Rest the world knows the truth who the victim of terrorism is and who is the nurturer of it. I hope that the rise of ISIS and the declaration of support by Al-Qaeda and Let, JuD and other Pak terror outfits,it must have been dawned upon US that it needs to act in accordance with India to eliminate this poison which was grown and nurtured in Pakistan and now has become a headache for whole world. Rest may Lord bless the people and Let Peace prevail. For violence at right time for right cause is must but it cannot yield desired results. Diplomacy needs to take its own course but not at the cost of lives of innocents.

The Modi Wave n Local Politics



High On Sentiments


Recently d saffron parties broke up in Maharashtra. BJP n SS are now going independently  to polls with smaller parties as an ally of BJP. While on d other hand even d Congress n NCP have snapped ties wid each other. Hence it is for first time after many years that elections in Maharashtra are going to b really tough. The star campaigners are into d battlefield where d Modi Wave has again hit hard. The campaign is getting more fussy n interesting wid attacks n counter attacks on high. Amidst all this my focus is only on d campaign done against MODI led BJP in States of Maharashtra n Haryana.
The BJP has not yet declared its face in both d states. This may create problems but wid Modi himself on d ground this issue can b well neglected by d voters. But instead other parties who r indirectly campaigning for BJP, Modi in particular r sure to fail this test. All those attacking Modi on baseless grounds r sure to see a fallout esp. Shiv Sena n Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. Both these regional parties who can never come out of regionalism n linguism are somehow sure to see a big disaster on 19th October.  Today people cannot b fooled anyhow. They can see d truth. The anti BJP group wid SS leading from front is doing its best to attack Modi but r failing to address d local issues. All these parties r campaigning yet again in LS mood n their only prerogative is to stop Modi. Yes, to stop Modi n not BJP. In all their speeches the only target is Central Government which is 100 Days old! And note that up till now the new government has not faced public ire on any of its policy n which is why the anti group is worried as this may change d vote consolidation.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar goes on to attack Central Government on petty issues n his claims can even b countered by common people ; so hopeless they are! While d PM raises local issues Pawar rakes up national issues. If so keen is he to focus on national issues then why didn’t he contest LS seat? And the biggest self goal is that by Ajit Pawar where he goes on to say that He is intolerant towards corruption! While in yet another case Sharad Rao attacks BJP saying their advt on TV r defaming Maharashtra! Mr.Pawar u were in power n u did the things actually which BJP highlights then a case of defamation should actually b filed against you. Congress as usual is going hopelessly ironic in its attacks on PM. Rane, ambitious n self proclaimed to b CM of Maharashtra , says that PM when in America spoke in Hindi as He is unable to speak in English! Narayan ( which he’s not) Rane openly showing his disrespect towards d national language of this country n to d post of Prime Minister of India n no one absolutely no one highlights this point. Not even media! ( which otherwise creates ruckus on petty issues ). The battlefield will heat up more once Rahul Gandhi enters d ring.
The BJP on other hand could have declared CM candidate n run d campaign instead of roping in PM as a face for winning elections. PM is now of India n he needs to focus on national issues. Yes he could have campaigned 5 to 6 rallies but the whole elections in Maharashtra n Haryana r being fought by d ruling party with only focus n centre of attraction being PM Modi. This gives a plus point to opponents to attack n weighs in negative for BJP. Still after seeing d huge crowds at PM’s rallies hopefully  people would vote for BJP on Modi factor. The possible problem behind CM face is that there are many contenders for d post in both d states n declaring d name might create internal issues in BJP itself which it would definitely like to avoid.
Sena, for whom Modi once was a darling, is seemed to have lost in d wave of change. Even MNS for that matter. Both d parties r good at playing regionalism ploy for political gains. While Modi speaks of federalism , Thackeray brothers seem to have no faith in the Highest Law of The Land. This can be seen through what Raj Thackeray said in his comments n I quote,’’ We do not need Central Government, Give Maharashtra a special status to take decisions on ALL matters. Internal n External.’’ I suppose that no more explanations r needed here. How can a state b given a separate special status which is against d Mother Law of The Land. How can this person who believes only n only in regionalism n linguism and has zero knowledge on functioning of Governments in India speak rubbish in public n media takes no cognizance of this?? Had this statement come from BJP, RSS, or even Modi for that matter; The media would have gone down heavily on this issue.
The language used by Sena chief n MNS chief shows their desperate frustration. What a beautiful use of Marathi! Hats off to both of them. Even a Marathi Manoos whom they claim to support can never use Marathi so beautifully n gracefully as these two! And for this very matter I m a fan of them. They leave no stone unturned when they speak on BJP n Modi to insult them. Day in and day out Modi is insulted heavily. Recently Sena chief named  H’ble Prime Minister of India , Afzal Khan! So do we imply that Sena chief himself is Shivaji? Clearly it is seen, Uddhav Thackeray lacks d leadership qualities that Balasaheb had! The charisma, the leadership qualities , the oratory, the hold that Late Balasaheb had are absent in Sena chief. Seems dynasty rules here too when Aditya was roped in that brought an ire of BJP top leadership. Ironically Sena once attacked Congress on this very issue n today is nothing different than them. Even Sena once said that Sharad Pawar should have become PM of India and some news reports do suggest that SS n NCP are in talks to have ties post poll. God knows d truth but SS is not even denying the reports! The more Sena chief attacks PM Modi  it will become more complicated for him to win. All the attacks done by Sena seem to b lacking the gist n confidence and it is obvious after seeing d rallies of PM Modi.
Today Modi has reached d peak of popularity that once Nehru enjoyed n if He delivers on what he has promised he’ll b one of the most loved Prime Minister India ever had! India saw many leaders but in some or the other way were similar on many accounts but this time its different. People r high on hopes n Modi is the leader people firmly believe n so far it can b said that Mr.Modi is in right direction. If he’s able to or not only time will tell. People r high on sentiments n whoever speaks against Mr.Modi will b facing public rage as it is already evident from what Social Media reports are.  People simply look away from those opposing Modi. He’s become the Leader of 1.25 million Indians. Hence whoever opposes Modi on any issue will see a major fallout this elections. Desperate SS,MNS,NCP r trying hard to attack Modi on taking rallies in Maharashtra but this may prove to b a self goal for them. And for MNS chief it do or die as His image is only that of talking parrot among d masses. People say this, its not my personal opinion.
Same is d case in Haryana where corruption, dynasty politics, unemployment, etc r major issues which PM is highlighting but as usual Sonia Gandhi seems to have forgotten that this time it isn’t General Elections, this time its Assembly elections. But to everyone’s surprise this time PM is raising local issues while CM’s r raising national issues n this is somewhat unprecedented..............
The more people campaign against Modi d more people will vote for PM Modi. It seems even after recent fallouts the political parties have not learnt their lessons! Rest I urge people to exercise their Right to Vote as it it You who will change d future of India................
