SUBHASHCHANDRA BOSE

SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE

Subhashchandra Bose has reemerged as a personality under national debate due to proposed installation of his 45 ft tall statue at India gate Delhi.

Subhash Chandra boss statue

Recently, Amar Jawan Jyoti which was alive for 45 years, is now merged with National War Memorial. 

India gate and Amar Jawan Jyoti are most prominent national site. It is invariably visited by heads of foreign country while visiting India. So it has acquired a special emotional status in the minds of all.

With the installation of the statue and setting up new national war memorial, people feels that some iconic site is lost, replenishment of which will take few years. 

Similarly, Nehru, Gandhi and Indira are the most prominent national personalities in the mind of people, in general. Howsoever, peaceful and democracite our system look, it has never been so simple. Many a dirty kitchen diplomacy and conspiracies always exists. 
Bose, Savarkar, Patel, Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasd, NarsinghaRao are few such personalities whose names have not been suitably recognized matching with their contribution. 

It is all due to political compulsions and eradicating confusion among people as to whom they should consider as their God Father.

Emergence of Patel by establishing huge statue in Gujrat and now of Bose by the installation of statue of Bose near national war memorial, are an attempt to change the peoples mindset.

These steps and more such steps likely to be taken by the regime may be considered as healthy political compulsion necessary for smooth run of democracy.

Justice Rohinton

JUSTIÇE ROHINTON FALI NARIMAN

In an article published in 'The Wire', justice Rohinton Falli Nariman slams Modi on keeping tight lips on the issue of hate speech in Haridwar. Justice in his article pursued that minimum punishment be prescribed for hate speech.

In Dharmsansad at Haridwar organised on 17 to 19 December, 2021,  saints had delivered speeches. 

These speeches are popular as hate speeches, in social media. 
Jitendra narayan Tyagi and mahamandleshwar Yati Satyendranath Tyagi are arrested as supreme court took cognizance on the issue.

Retired judge Rohinton was mentioning his thought in respect of the above. 
His remark about silence of Modi on the issue is irrelevant or say senseless as thousands of similar or dirtier speeches and acts are uploaded on social media by other communities and Modi being PM of the nation has hundreds of nation building jobs to  do on ongoing basis. If he start speaking on such silly matters he can't do justice with his primary duties. 

Justice Rohinton's post does not discuss anything about creditibility of the orator in dharmsansad.

Dharmsansad was organized by VHP, which is an apex body of Sanatanies (Hindu). Sanatan dharm and its principles are for everybody, they are making lifes of all better, even  before start of life on the planet and will govern the cosmos after the cosmos cease to exist.  Because of birth of new religions, having controversial  verdicts about people of other Faith's, word hate has came in the use.

So due to such hate verdicts of newly born religions, security and life of Sanatanies are in danger for about thousands of years. Hate speech is nothing but showing concern about threat from such religions. 

Before writing on the issue justice would have studied little bit about people who are practicing hate as part of their religion. He would have also analysed why China is running concentration camp to make such people livable in the society.

Hate speeches are not good for the nation.

 But such personilties would have wrote few words about actual Hate, in reaction of which such speeches were delivered, to make their post sensible and useful.
 For me it's a bullshit.

SWAMI PRASAD MAURYA

SWAMI PRASAD MAURYA 

Amid  assembly's election in 5 states, leaders are switching from one party to others. Maximum changes occured in UP where Swami Maurya and 9 others had quit their original party ie BJP.

Opposition party SP appears to be beneficiary of the situations.

Before coming to any logical  considered opinion about impact of such happenings let us discuss something about our democracy.

Democracy is a ruling system based on three major principle.

(1) Of the people. ( leaders from public)

(2) By the people ( Through voting process) .

(3) For the people.(welfare of people) 

Being primary top principle, status of leaders are on top. Parties spent considerable time in choosing candidates. People chosen from these few selected candidates form the government.

The second principle is getting atleaset minimum votes so that a party  gets majority in the house.

Getting votes needs thorough thinking about so many aspects. 

(1) Emotional issues.

(2) satisfaction of ego of different societies.

(3) Slogans draw attention.

(4) practical strategies like cash distribution or door to door campaign.

(5) Development work to be promised or executed.

Congress party being pioneer political party ensured certain minimum votes in its favour  through its reservation and appeasement policies. 

Now comes the third principle ie for the people.  Being last priority this principle is vaguely followed. 

Welfare schemes were tools to satisfy different level party worker or employees associated with implementing scheme.

In 1991, when the country sunk into bankruptcy and 200 tons of gold was pledged to get help from IMF, leaders realised importance of welfare of people. However bad monitoring wiped off benefit, as share market and other scams sucked everything. 

Since 2014,  country is observing building of assets like road, electricity, network, cleanliness, surge in export, better tax collection, and last but not the least no corruption at apex level and transparency in functioning .

Thus  Modi/BJP has raised the bar of 'For the people' principle little bit parallel to first principle.

7 years time can't offset habits of 70 years. So for Maurya or such other switchers, welfare of nations is still a third priority.
