DEBATE (1)

Great work done by Modi

Can anyone disagree if you measure out the work done by Modi Govt. till today, even to compare it with 65yrs of INC Rule -there is complete change in working, approach, & action with single point agenda to deliver the goods/benefits to the people? There is no space for smoke to suffocate in process of work which is very important, may be it brings change not with desired pace that means there are forces behind break-in & break-out which is mostly extrinsic in nature rather than intrinsic.

India is a vast country. It is not easy to percolate the effects of action in a very short span of time, however, constant thrust/focus & relentless hard work will certainly bear fruits in coming time. It is always matter of time which differentiate the approach & intend to deliver in a working environment. In a democratic country, if the elected is not afraid of consequences of election then it becomes ideal government to deliver results from its action otherwise it becomes dull.

An elected government should have clear vision with firm commitment towards its perspective to serve the people than, there is always a chance to be re-elected so, do keep working hard which we do belief Modi Govt. is doing. That's it.

Modi has no personal agenda

Modi has only one agenda that India should be number one in the World. He only needs a good team to fulfill his objective.

"Lord" Marx & Ram

The very mention of the name Ram is enough to provoke the Bhaktas of Marx, who have the sole rights to be called progressive, rational, liberal, tolerant, modern, secular and scientific. If anybody talks anything else, it is mythology. By the middle of the 20th Century, Marx and Marxism had been rendered a mere myth. So much so that in India its sole remnant is difficult to recognize. Delhi's own Harvard and its little Marx & Engels still raise slogans, but it is more to grab news headlines or photographs and find a career in politics. It is our singular failure that we talk of Marx sans Europe & Christianity (Native Christians) and create our own myths about him. Our distorted view of Marx has caused terrible harm to our social, political, economic and judicial interests. Without studying European history, especially of Germany, France, Belgium, Italy and England, we are likely to only misunderstand Marx. Marxism dominated the elite minds in India after independence and in particular after Jawaharlal Nehru became the Prime Minister of India. We consciously abandoned our own political ideology, created no new political thought, plagiarized and pirated the political thoughts of the western thinkers including Marks and portrayed Nehru as a original political thinker (he himself a Fabian), jettisoning Mahatma Gandhi & Ram Rajya. It has never bothered our political leadership that India singularly lacks a political thought of its own and Political Thinkers of its own. The result is: we have more than 200 political parties but not one political thinker. We have individuals not parties; so much so that even a thinker like Bhimrao Ambedkar has not been accorded the recognition of a Political Thinker. We boast of Raman but not of any Hegel, Kant, Marx or Engel of our own. We decry Gandhi. We are against Ram or Ram Rajya. So we reject our own native political ideology. Our little Harvards and their little Marx & Engels stop us from evening considering the political ideology of Ram Rajya but have no qualms in agitating for Marx Rajya! Such an anomaly has arisen from our misplaced priorities. We have been misled into believing that India does not need any political thinkers of its own and that establishing institutions of higher education for science & Technology will meet all our requirements. Then why is everybody dissatisfied, including the India born Nobel scientist, who made highly uncharitable remarks about the recent Indian Science Congress? Why so much indiscipline in all segments of governance at state and central levels and all wings of the government? Why do we always talk of corruption, charge each other of corrupt practices and fight elections in the name of corruption? Why are all kinds of crimes on the increase from year to year? Why are more and more Indians migrating to foreign countries? It is all in the absence of our own political thought.

We need to set up high grade facilities- institutions, laboratories etc. for higher studies in Social Sciences and Humanities at par with science & technology infrastructure and allocate equal amount of GDP for these fields of study. In its absence we have been witnessing fast decline in the levels of public discourse and research & development. For making the Indian democracy strong and the nation a genuine Super Power, we need to make serious efforts in this direction without wasting any more time.

PDP not united ?

Delays in the formation of new Government in Kashmir indicates that PDP is not united. There is a lobby putting pressure on Mehbooba to abandon the path of her late father. In doing so she is going to encourage the corrupt politicians to come back to power. If she believes in good governance she badly needs support of BJP.
