The Vulnerable Genius

Few weeks back the UPA government at the center was put on the mat and was ground by the opposition. The media too had to involve since there is no option left because of the involvement of two big ministers of the Congress led UPA government. One was a Law minister who corrected the English in the CBI report pertaining to the Coal Mining Scam in which MMS cleared the mines as per the instructions by his masters. The other one is the Railway minister, whose nephew was caught taking a paltry 90Lakh bribe for facilitating a big post in the Railways. Both cases are to be proven in the courts and the ministers are innocent till proven guilty.

The two ministers were forced to resign after a weeklong drama which would belittle the queen of soap operas. Initially the Congress Agency defended that there was no wrong act committed, but due to the relentless pressure and some decisions to sacrifice the goats to appease the goddess and Mistress walked down to the house of slave and ensured the removal of the two ministers, and Mistress was given all the credit for being against corruption. In the mystic land of India the ways of Queen would not be understood even by the Gods.

MMS wanted the two ministers, at least the law minister to continue so as to shield himself from the taint of corruption, but Queen wanted the diamonds of her crown shine more and ensured that MMS became dull. The queen has the shield of MMS to protect her diamonds and MMS seems to have sold himself in a bizarre deal with the dealmaker, The Queen of India.  The media portrays the Mistress-Slave relationship as a relationship with mutual trust and respect and the whole of the world is laughing. In times of distress, Indian Congress is able to give some joy to the world, and we all should be proud of it.

To decipher the exact chain of events that lead to the capture of India by the several foreign invasions, we have to travel back in time. Even Einstein could do it on paper and till date there is no practical realization in the real world. But the study can be conducted about the similar circumstances that exist today. The slavery of the huge Congress organization to one woman is the nearest equivalent to the capture of India by the ideologically bankrupt foreign invasions, who believed in loot, massacre and destruction of the native cultures.

The so called intellectually brilliant MMS has taken so much abuse indicates the rot in the intellectuals thinking or the definition itself. All the so called eminent people who are part of think tank and policy making have sold themselves for the queen for a pittance. To decode the fall of the Indian empires of the old, study of THE GENIUS QUEEN would help in a great way to protect the nation from the attack of intellectually bankrupt empires. THE GENIUS of the queen starts and ends with herself and it doesn’t get transferred to her foolish son, and it is this foolishness that makes the genius queen vulnerable to the local mafias.

What the media is dong can be called Treason

Congress Party headed by The Sonia Gandhi, has been witness to a huge number of corruption scandals. BJP leaders claimed during the recently concluded election campaign in Karnataka that the value of corruption at 5.56lakh crores. The Karnataka voter did not mind the value of corruption done by the UPA government and has given a clear mandate to Congress in the state. The Congress leaders with much joy, have invented another Gandhi in the process of celebrations, Manmohan Gandhiji. I believe that the Governor of Karnataka after hearing the election results, would have walked to the party headquarters and asked the leaders of the party to form the government, and where he would have encountered an empty office. All the people were busy in lobbying for the minister posts in Delhi and Governor would have told Sonia Gandhi to decide the matters quickly. Whether Governor acted in the imagined manner is not clear, but Governor was more than happy in participating in the oath taking ceremony of the Congress ministers. This can be confirmed by his glowing face and never ending smiles during the ceremony.

The Victories of Congress party under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, be it in Uttarakhand, Karnataka makes everyone believe that corruption is not a issue which the electorate worry much about. The justification given by the knowledgeable people of the press is that all the parties are corrupt and if Congress is removed, then the party coming to power will also indulge in corruption. There are those who also tell about the presence of a certain group of people who irrespective of which party exists in power will manipulate the policy decisions of the government. This group of people is the media moguls, who blackmail those in power or do some give and take business. The bartering system existed in ancient India, but it has been replaced by the use of money and everything has a fixed price in the current systems. All the business is done in common currency, and there are many agencies that monitor the money flows.

In such a regulated system, there are loopholes and Congress has to keep the media moguls happy. Thus the information and broadcasting minister has come with a plan to disburse huge amounts of money, around Rs.1800crore; for the promotion of the works and policies of the government, thus born out of desperate need to feed the media is the “Bharat Nirman” ads. The government of India worries more about the malnutrition of the journalists more than those of the rural poor.  The media houses coming to know about the welfare schemes of the government are more than happy to work for the hand that feeds it. The so called news papers will now carry more ads at the tax payer cost than the news of the bad deeds of the government.

The Congress party is happier after winning the Karnataka elections and seems to be less worried about the corruption scandals in the neighbouring state called Andhra Pradesh. The media is silent about the entire scam, and the unlucky Yeddy was hounded by media and Justice Hegde was made a omnipotent truth speaking angel. The Congress government is happily doing its good works of filling the party coffers and looting the citizens and the national media is busy talking about the IPL fixing scam. Media people went ahead and were screaming as if nuclear explosion has taken place in India and the country is facing the most and biggest problems. A billion people are in danger. When media goes overboard, it is either to protect congress or to outdo other media houses. When the media houses do the later, the Congress is in trouble for allocating more resources to the many media houses.

No wonder the increase in malnutrition of media houses is due to higher number of people and any amount of help by the government will be less because the per capita consumption will be less due to the huge population.  When the population of India was growing at a high rate, the government implemented and advertised about family planning and the benefits of a lower population and the ease of governance. The people have understood and supported the government but few communities have not done so owing to their religious and other affiliations. This is a different problem and leaving this matter aside, the time has to come for the GOI to talk about the media planning operations Knowing well that Cocaine is a addictive substance, there are curbs on its usage by the common public but not for the rich and powerful.

Like cocaine, media can be addictive. People get addicted to certain serials; news (filth that is given out 24x7) can cause changes in the thinking patterns and also lead to change in behaviour patterns. With no regulations in place, and Sri Kaju is busy doing the pardoning business, there are no controls. The media has become a cancer destroying entire nation. There is no comprehensive study about the way the media has affected the behavioural patterns of the society because government has no control. The government exists because we are told so by the media and not otherwise. Swine flu is made to buy by GOI because media created a scare among the minds of people and if GOI did not act, it will be portrayed as GOI being insensitive to the needs of the people.

Without doubt, it can be concluded that “What the media is doing can be called Treason.”

The Voter

If the recent state elections are to anything to go by, except for Uttarkhand, all other elections have yielded in a clear decision by the voters. Those who won the elections have got a clear majority to form a government be it West Bengal, Tripura, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh or the just concluded Karnataka elections. The only thing clear is that many people’s opinion in local areas is in sync. The factors of caste even though cannot be ruled out in electoral results, the significance is reducing to a large extent. Of all the caste calculations that are made by all political parties, the minority communities are believed to be ardent supporters of Congress party, but with the emergence of Islamic parties into the electoral politics, the Muslim vote bank is distributed among several parties.

But with the religious institutions directly involving and giving instructions to its followers as whom to vote to gain strength post elections, the country is going away from secularism. Though several parties try to become more and more secular, in reality they are not. Neither the voter cares not the political parties, but the only exception is the election commission, which puts a bar on the Hindu leaders from participating in temple festivals during the implementation of the model of code of conduct, but not for other religions and castes. The present Election Commission has become more caste and party blind than the previous and no commissioner nor the executives dare to search the Gandhi family members.

During every election time, the money from the political party reaches the voter in new and innovative ways and the creativity has to be appreciated. But the danger is that these creative politicians with their group of followers eat more money during their tenure as MLAs and MPs which the Voter in general doesn’t care as he has already got his share of loot. This is called prepaid loot policy and the businessmen get the postpaid loot. The MLAs expenses are borne by the business houses that get the benefits after the candidate wins. Here too the voter doesn’t care.

With all the information at the disposal of the voter be it corruption, criminal activities etc, there is no worry as to who to select.  In this scenario who the voter selects as their candidate is a mystery many parties can only speculate about. The political parties have to play different acts to get the voter confidence and make them to vote, but not many are able to succeed. The corrupt, the criminals are going to the assemblies and then when they loot the people cry about the rampant corruption.

While all this is happening, one trend of the majority opinion is getting tilted by the use of media either print or paper. The governance is taking a back seat. There is a growing clamor for Modi for becoming PM because of developmental politics. On a closer look Modi has managed the media well and many people outside his state and within are happy the way he as managed the state and there is a feel good factor, whenever he says 6crore Gujaratis. When this feel food factor is mixed with some results there can be an overwhelming victory.

The biggest grouse of opposition leaders is that Modi development is all nothing but a hoax and etc, but there is no proof of it. Even though the proof exists it is not able to destroy the feel good factor. The TMC winning in West Bengal which was a Communist strong hold for 30years is the mistake and mismanagement of the ruling party. The feel good factor that was maintained by the communist government was shattered by one incident and TMC destroyed the perception and with the help of Congress came to power. The destroyed perception has to be replaced again with a feel good factor, which the current TMC is failing miserably.

The UP elections have given a mandate to SP because of the failure of the feel good factor for the simple reason that certain communities did not benefit. The SP promised some other community favors and came to power and now are again finding it difficult to manage the politics which are highly embedded in castes. The people can die of hunger, but if they feel comfortable under the government and are made to believe governments will survive. Even a good government can be bought down if people feel bad about it. A negative feeling is what it takes to dethrone a government. More than anything in UP, it is the bad feeling of certain communities is the reason for the failure of BSP government to lose power.

There was a popular perception that in 2004 the feel good factor (FGF) was with BJP, but the masses lost the hope in BJP because of the failed promise of building a Ram Temple. The BJP rose to power on creating a FGF of building the Ram Temple and when it failed to achieve this in its tenure FGF was lost even though it provided a good governance. The only alternative left was Congress which did not gain a great majority, but with other parties helped it make the majority. In 2009 with the good results of NDA government the economy was booming and the FGF was with Congress and it came to power.

FGF can alone be attributed for the decision of the majority of the people over large areas for winning or losing of a candidate. The caste equations play a little role because all party’s can field people belonging to different castes which would nullify the effect. The people should find themselves to an ideology for a certain point to focus their energies and vote for a particular candidate first and to a party at large. This is happening as the ideology is gaining more prominence. In the recent concluded Karnataka elections, BJP especially Modi tried to rake the emotional feeling of Hindus by raising the cancellation of anti-cow slaughter bill if congress comes to power and asked people for votes to BJP. This would succeed more with a rural population, but with urban population with many Hindus themselves eating cow meat this would not be a FGF. Modi’s charm may have pulled the crowd to the election meetings, but the bad feeling in the people’s mind created by the press couldn’t removed by single election meeting.

For the LokSabha elections with may happen anytime between August 2013 and May 2014 the corruption, national security can be that single factor that can be used. The connect with the people has to be more aggressive as the whole press is against the government in the Delhi and are forced to show the corruption issues to a certain extent. The government on the other hand is trying to pass some dubious bills to generate FGF among the many poor of this country and the opposition parties have to try and stop these bills from passing by the corrupt government. When it comes to governance Modi can create FGF among the many people across the castes. Even though many Muslims hate him for being an allegedly minority destructor, the common citizens tend to forget the truth that Congress is the real minority destructor. When the sample size increases and the winners the local effects will reduce and the bigger reasons alone will drive the results.

The voter who doesn’t sit on the internet can also connect with Modi because of his developmental politics and expects him to deliver the results. Even though Modi campaigned in Karnataka, BJP wouldn’t come to power because there will not be Modi to deliver the results but the media created BJP which is corrupt to the core. In the national elections, when Modi asks for vote, many would know that if BJP wins then Modi alone would be there deliver results and they would all benefit from good governance and thus many urban votes will tilt towards BJP. In a election a victory to opposition is mainly ensured by the failure of the current ruling party to create FGF and also the display of better alternative than the ruling party. The opposition party with no effort but only on the failure of ruling party can never come to power and in case this happens it is because of the failure of the ruling party.

The FGF is more important than everything else and people at large should be able to connect with the party and the leader should be able to connect with the masses. Modi suits the bill and others in the party are crying over this issue and they can destroy the FGF around Modi by projecting Advani as PM, back tracking from the comments made, falling into the trap of Nitish, etc. If a person with some FGF with him cannot to power then Rajiv would never have, PVN Rao would never become PM and history has many instances of such instances. BJP has to throw out the people who have built BJP and now expecting some benefits like Advani and make party bigger than self. A party exists to help the people who have voted then those who founded it. A deputy PM post enjoyed by Advani is no less and even today many respect Advani for building BJP, but his expectation from people for making him PM too much to ask for.

There is neither FGF around Advani nor he could connect with the masses like he used to in the good olden days of Ram temple movement. Advani is being played with by many people around him from Anant Kumar, Sushma Swaraj, Yashwant Sinha etc for their own petty means, but for the greater good of the party and also to clear the air Advani should honorable declare that he is not for PM race at any cost. This sacrifice by Advani will become bigger than the enacted drama by Sonia during the 2004 and Advani will gain more respect than he would if he becomes PM. Many voters and the party cadres want to see Modi as their leader and not Advani, if BJP will not at least give into the FGF of its cadre what would it give to the citizens of this country. The voter wants to see a leader in BJP, unlike in congress everyone known irrespective of the CM it is Sonia Gandhi who decides what to happen for which group. Hence for the voter the CM/PM candidates of Congress doesn’t matter, but the BJP they would definitely would like to know as it is the only democratic Party in a democratic country.

The voter has become wiser with more dreams and ambitions. Fooling is not a solution anymore

Politics, Media, Interactions

Elections in India are a period of celebrations for the media, because of various opportunities for making a lot of money. The options available are favourable media coverage, unfavourable media coverage by taking money from anyone. All that the media wants is money to continue to run its business and ethics take a back seat. The ethics of media have gone down the gutter and the recent events pertaining to Sharada Chit Fund Scam is a clear indication of this continuing trend. Media has become a business and a very tough area to be in and thus to make money it is becoming more and more difficult.

The news media or better be called as news entertainment business is more of making breaking news and changing the opinions of the people. This one thing the media has been able to achieve to perfection. Tilting the opinions of the people- be it educated or the illiterate people is the current job of the media and everyone has become salves of the media moguls for knowing the truth. The penetration of TV into the rural households is a wonder to be attributed to the Congress because of its policies that people prefer to spend a few thousands to have a TV than to have a toilet.

The profits of media are nowhere to be seen due to the work ethics and also the competition, thus there is dependence on foreign money or widely known as black money from various sources, known and unknown. Media houses which are in losses for a extended period of times are being funded by big business houses and its purposes will be definitely dubious and for tilting the opinions of either politicians or the common man. Even politicians are no exception when it comes to media, they are slaves. Thus to escape the power of media, a few politicians have started their own private channels to do the propaganda.

When politicians have entered the news business, the business already in the job are also too happy and thus media people have become power brokers between various factions like the radiagate scandal, etc.  Many of the journalists or news reporters have become fallen angels due to the wrong ethics followed to get the breaking news and be king makers in a highly competitive world. When money, power and fame are the needs ethics is first to get the boot from the system of conscience and jealousy, greed take its place. It is a natural tendency for common persons.

The most disturbing fact is the opinions of the people that keep changing within minutes. The opinion changes with times but when it changes from one extreme to another there should be some extraneous effort from some corner or he reason for the change if not known to the observers, then the faith is lost. In India where words spoken are highly respected more than anything else, the words uttered by those in power are remembered by the people, and when not recorded, it is manipulated. Even spoken words of Atalji are manipulated by the media, when it comes to Rajdharma to suit the needs of a particular group.

With the availability of video records, people like Advani have taken back their comments of calling Congress a illegitimate government. The words of Advani are truth but the old man has taken because he could not face the wrath of Sonia. But when Chidambaram invents the word Saffron terrorists, there is no wrath of BJP and when foot-in-mouth Shinde calls RSS a terrorist organization, he back tracks but there is no regret. BJP has made a fool of itself a number of times. The recent one being the hugs of Sushma and Sonia as reported in the media when a few days back Sushma told that Sonia is running the most corrupt government.

There were some cartoons telling that CBI sleeps with the Cons, but I doubht whether Lotus is spread on the bed for the fun of CBI and Congress. There is no reason for the BJP to go soft on the government as corrupt as the present UPA, but the way it is behaving like a strategy-less one when there are many PM candidates is very disheartening. The strategy if at all should be a clear-cut one and should be communicated to one and all. The CMs of the successful BJP states are crying foul against the FSB but Sushma tells BJP is ready to support it if Bansal and others are removed. What a bigger fool BJP can make itself.

Elections are always about strategy and Congress Sonia is an expert on strategy. May be she is brilliant or is guided by the foreign churches is a mystery. The brilliance of central Congress is no match for the Central BJP leadership where in everyone wants to be a PM, but no one knows how. But a person like Modi wants to aim for it, but there is no internal support. This can be hard-work by the BJP to stay away from power, but if everything go right even then BJP could snatch a electoral defeat from Congress because BJP still did not learn from its mistakes.

An aggressive tv campaign is also required and a straight rebuttal of the charges is the need of the hour. The impact of KJP is only increased by the faults of the BJP leadership due to the internal politics of Advani, the old man who doesnot want to retire and continues to hope to be a PM candidate only to keep BJP away from power. The central leadership which made Yeddy to quit should be sulking in their chairs for their poor handling of the media and buckling under the media pressure.  There is something to learn from the Congress Spokespersons who with a straight face reject all the scams and even dare to tell that NDA was more corrupt is the single biggest positive with the UPA.

The spokespersons of BJP fail when questioned about 2002 even though SIT has virtually given clean chit to Modi government. The spokespersons of BJP failed to counter the media when the question of Yeddy was repeatedly raised  but the same spokespersons of BJP failed to put the media in the dock for not confronting the media as why they never spoke and questioned the Shiela. The BJP people seem to to come to the media and become famous by destroying the party. The pathetic performance of BJP in the Karnataka elections is only due to the poor management by the spokespersons who couldn't counter the media with the right questions, because the media is bought by the Congress.

The social media even though is the stronghold of BJP cannot penetrate the extent of TV and other forms, and a recent report of 160 loksabha seats influenced by SM is again a hype to keep the people from distracted. BJP has failed miserable and this is no lie. Whether it failed in the eyes of the voters of in the eyes of those who moniter its works is the million dollar question. The GOI has given many awards to the Government of Karnataka for the civil services provided and schemes implemented, but the people of Karnataka have failed to recognize the achievement, because they are flooded by the attacks on minority community and Yeddy Scams.

The free run of the media in destroying the BJP works is a mystery and still continues to remain unsolved. Till the time the BJP spokespersons directly confront and take the names of the Congress Corrupt Ministers and put the media in the dock, the media is not going to leave the BJP from backtracking and will see to it that BJP yet again fails in the 2014 General elections. The perception management is more important, otherwise the faith of the people in the most corrupt government and the most communal party would be definitely the 8^th wonder of the world. Recently Smrithi has done a fantastic job of challenging Rahul kanwal but can they do so to Arnab, Rajdeep, Bharka and their brothers and sisters.

Unless BJP fights with the truth and not hug the corrupt people from the Congress, it cannot be anyforce in General Elections, Even today many people want a UPA government in the future also, but if BJP wants to come to power, it has to take some hard decisions, because its win is only a gamble and it has to make a winning strategy and not a “defeat Congress strategy”.

Somebody Got to Cook

In Indian society it has been a defacto agreement, that women in the household should cook the food and also maintain the house while men would be bread winners of the house. Though there was little financial freedom given to women, even though there was little dissent, the taboo associated with divorce maintained the families together. But with modernization the women began more demanding as they have gained more financial dependence by the way of education of jobs, expect the men in the house to so the chores that were supposedly expected to be done by women. Many agreed to this new trend and few did not like, but in all there is evolution in the family.

The rise of feminist activism has led to bring the issue of gender equality into the mainstream media and politics. Very often we keep hearing atrocities committed by male humans on female humans, but never the reverse case or within the categories. Apart from rapes which are committed, there are many kinds of physical and mental tortures that are exchanged between men, women and among them. The case of domestic violence has slowly vanished from the popular media as it does not get the required TRP ratings not increase the circulation of news papers and have been favorably forgotten. The slow colonial style working Indian courts with their rules and regulations and evidence procedures have ensured that justices are never given in time.

The talk of gender equality if absurd while the talk should be broader like equal opportunities thought the population without any discrimination of caste, age, sex etc and should be based on skills. One equal opportunity commission can look into the works of minority commission, woman’s rights, child rights etc and all others. But the politicians was to divide the society with many different ways, and thus each broken part will have a leader who can be purchased with a small price and the manipulation of small groups is more easier then manipulating very large groups.

With honesty going in the gutters of the urban gutters and open areas in rural areas, the professionals are doing no good except a few exceptions. A doctor who knowingly does screens a child and tells its female and the educated parents kills the life while in its womb and again this blame is put on the male because of not giving financial independence to the females. People are not what they seem to be in life, and there is always a power exchange which is never spoken in the popular debates and many ore in the ignorance. The recent increased reporting of rapes is neither a new phenomenon nor increasing.

In a country as large as ours, with poor law enforcement agencies working, the fear of being punished makes the people to commit crimes more easily. Tougher laws never imply zero crimes, because from time to time we hear of beheading of people in the Saudi also. This makes is very difficult to start any discussion and to solve the problems. At the root of everything, the unit cell representing the nation, the family is to be dissected. The family is to be sampled and tested from a various environments like rich, poor, urban, rural, religious communities, states etc. A broad analysis is required, but the trigger happy media and the citizens who believe in instant corrections like in movie donot have the patience to do such analysis and we are happy treating and talking about the symptoms.

Whether the family as the basic unit is functioning as it is supposed? If this questioned is to be answered, a huge war of words will arise because men will put the responsibility on women and the feminists put the blame on men. The society has been degraded as to make certain works are less important than others. The superficial qualities of certain works and the status of certain groups of people are considered as the permanent positions are the society has been divided permanently and so has the family unit.

As we are becoming more and more modern, we forget to remember the term “Dignity of Labor”. Even the smallest worker in the organization if equally important for the smooth functioning of a setup as the CEO, but since everything is decided in numbers, the value created less and hence the work is less valued. So there will no takers for certain jobs. It is for this reasons that conversions of people with money is done to pickup slaves to do the lower kind of works for the rich. A steady supply of labour is required for the growth of any society with a chance for progressing for everyone. With everybody earning, the hierarchy is maintained with various rules.

The equality religions which have come into India has made some works superior to others while making others inferior and destroying the entire structure from within the house to the external society. If we think that cooking food is a inferior, taking of children and family in a inferior work, then people may shun to do such works and search for people who could do it. A person from lower social status would be able to do it for want of money or other benefits. Services done for the sake of money, the intent is different and those done for the sake of love it will be different quality.

The easiest way of monitoring of the functioning of the family is the food eaten. The more of the family is eating home cooked food than outside, the family is functioning in a better way, because one of the basic needs of humans is food and good food is what everyone wants. Now we are seeing many readymade foods entering the homes and the businesses are flourishing indicating a rot setting in the basic building blocks of our society. To stop the rot, “SOMEBODY GOT TO COOK” in the house.
