General Elections 2009

Election Season is on full swing in Bharat. The dates have been announced. I’ll try to post some good articles covering the election. The General Elections of 2009 would have been a one-sided contest in favour of the opposition parties in Bharat but for the Indian media and the new biased Chief Election Commissioner, Mr Navin Chawla. The Indian media is working all out to project the success of present government, which everyone knows has been a failure. Just remember the number of terrorist attacks in Indian cities during last five years, the number of farmer suicides in the rural parts of the country, the number of corrupt ministers in the cabinet, and the amount of reservation made in educational institutes, based on caste and religion; you get the picture yourself. What matters for the present ruling party and the English media is that another son of the Gandhi family has to be made the future Prime Minister, without any laurels for doing any kind of public service. Ohh I forgot, he has got the right surname !!! 

But then lets remember the failures of this government and ask them what you achieved in last 5 years, rather than believing in the promises they are making to fulfil in next 5 years. They had the chance but they lost it..So throw them out. To conclude, I would just borrow from Mr Obama and ask you to  ”Vote for Change”!!!

P.S. Do go out and vote..!!!

Reactions of a common man after 26th November 2008!!

As I followed the turn of events which unfolded in Mumbai after the night of 26th November 2008, my emotions ranged from one extreme to another. First of all, the feeling was of Shock…then it turned into Disbelief..then into Horror.. then into Prayers..then into Sadness..then into Frustration..then into Anger..then into Rage..!!

First of all, I salute all the men in uniform who laid down their lives to protect the lives of common man and also those who fought and finally killed the Islamist terrorists who attacked on Mumbai. I hope the country never forgets their bravery and sacrifice.

Right now, what I feel is that we need a change..The whole country needs a change..The system needs a change.. A change from the current creed of politicians.. Do we deserve a Prime Minister who was as always “shocked” by the terrorist attack..?? Even after more than 70 attacks in last 6 months, he just feels a shock, nothing more than that!! While hundreds of common citizens dies in terrorist attacks which happens every month in some part of our country, our leaders continue to live peacefully and becoming filthy rich under Z+ security. To top this, the deputy CM of Maharashtra says ” it is small incident in such a big city like Mumbai”. Is he a warm blooded human who can feel and think or a cold blooded animal with no ability to think.

What are we waiting for? Why don’t we act?Why still we think that we have to diplomatically correct? why still we are asking Pakistan to help us in investigation? What then is the use of having the 4th largest military force in the world? Is this the way we will join the league of superpowers of the world? Is not time to say Enough is Enough?

The country doesn’t need Gandhi and Nehru anymore. Bharat now needs Subhash Chandra Bose and Sardar Patel !!!

World crisis or World of crisis

What prompted me to write this post was my daily dose of news on yahoo news…

All these days we were talking about a worldwide economic crisis. Indeed we are still talking about it. The tightening credit scenario, the end of investment banking era, the feared bankruptcies of big banks world over.. The list goes on.

However today the news stories i read forced me to forget the financial crisis, at least for sometime. The list goes like this:

<Iceland teeters on brink of national bankruptcy. A nation going down under..!!> <Druglords’ war continues with unabated violence throughout Mexico> <Blood on Thai streets as political crisis worsens><Faultlines appears in European Union over the present economic crisis> Add to it <Looming recession in US>

Now I am confused..whether it is just a world crisis or is it a World of crisis..???
