In my previous blog I expressed my views on how we could be miss-governed by someone who keeps their interest and a handful of peoples interest over the others.
As many analyst put it the world is not bothered about the India elections and who would ride to 10 Janpath. Fortunately not because the world is not interested in India, but because they are confident of our system and the past track record of our leaders. But should the world show concern if a leader from a minority in India rises to the Gaddhi in Delhi? Should we hail that as the rising of a leader from raddhi to gaddhi (from dirt to thrown), some may say why shouldn't we? didn't the world do it when America elected its first African American president?
For many in India it will be a perfect script for a blockbuster bollywood movie another rags to riches movie, may be another Oscar winning movie! But what is there for India in this script......
Yes India is always proud of its diversity, be it a Sikh PM, a women President and a Muslim Vice President. A rise of a dalith or any lower section citizen to India's highest office is something to be proud of, but only for a deserving candidate, who not only recognizes the need for his people but also for all Indians. Being an Indian I am proud of our power structure and diversity it emits.
We do need leaders who work to uplift the needful segment of the nations. We have to rise as one India not a segregated India. We need a leader who may not be foreign educated but can take educated decisions to take India forward. We need a raddhi to gaddhi story of a individual who worked for it and who , we the people of India elevated to become our leader not someone who is an opportunist, someone who sneaks their way into the political mess we are held ransom to .
As I come to the end, I apologise if I have hurt the sentiments of anyone, but I want to voice my opinion and as an Indian I have the right to do so, keeping in mind not to hurt any ones sentiments. But to leave a mark on the stone , I would rather prefer an educated , intellectual, diplomatic and prosperity driven leader than an opportunist.
nail-biting election .....but i sure want elkay ji to be our prime minister..its time tested veteran chance of a lifetime...har har mahadev....
ReplyDeleteAs I said in my blog, I have my own personal pick when it comes to a perticular party but the two main candidates for the top job are very much acceptable for me. Just hope its someone who can continue India's impressive run.

ReplyDeleteWell I am sure all BJP followers wished the same, but we should be happy India elected a smart and honest candidate with a mandate he deserves and the freedom which he can do a lot more without being blackmailed by smaller but integral players.
