Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Prevention is better than cure.
There is a high probability that BSP and INC fight general elections together, and it has wider implications. Even if Cong gives higher number of seats in UP to BSP, and in return Cong may gain a vote share of 3-9% in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madya Pradesh and it may affect 30-50 seats.
Then the big question is how to prevent such alliance
- To dethrone BSP, Rahul did a marathon tour throughout UP accusing BSP and Mayawathi as corrupt, like, "we are sending money from Delhi, but elephant is eating away all that money." Collect videos of all such speeches.
- BJP supporters needs to start an NGO in which its nomenclature should include words like secular and anti-corruption in it.
-- Eg: Indian True Secular Front or Save India from Corruption Front or something like that.
- Accumulate mobile TV screen vans (30-50) and show speeches of Rahul accusing BSP on corruption throughout UP in villages, town and cities.
- I bet even SP govt will support such operations.
- If somebody questions BJP, wash off it hands it is nothing to do with BJP and it is done by some NGO.
- It should be managed in such a way that both party cadres should say loudly no to INC-BSP alliance.
- It will create bad blood between ill-tempered Mayawathi and ill-mannered, arrogant Rahul Gandhi.

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
The fourth step could be UP.. but then we have always the case where pappu can get some helicopter ride climbing on some aam admi banana peel.
http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/co ... 218380.eceOn Modi
Narendra Modi has understood this yearning for change and is promising a change from the tired and compromised United Progressive Alliance (UPA). But he has already scared sober and sensible middle class Indians. The country has watched with apprehension how a provincial and deeply divisive actor has not only hijacked a national political party but has also forced one and all — some of them proud and sensitive public leaders in the BJP — to fall in line with his ambitions.
However, Mr. Modi may have won a battle against the BJP, but he has yet to convince the nation that he represents the change that it needs or wants. In the process, the BJP has made a grand miscalculation: that the Lok Sabha election would be held in November 2013. It was this miscalculation that propelled the party's strategy to bring Parliament to a grinding halt and to frogmarch the UPA leadership towards a dissolution of the Lok Sabha and early elections.
That did not happen. And now Mr. Modi has peaked too early; he is no longer looking the bright, unsullied, sparkling thing that he was three months earlier; his “model” is already under scrutiny, and is being contested in city after city, in a thousand conversations across the land. The “feku” will not be allowed to get away with half-truths. Indian democracy has developed a healthy capacity to see through those who make spurious claims.
To be fair to him, Mr. Modi has not promised any grand or dramatic departures from the presumed elements of “national consensus.” He is only saying he will take forward the same agenda (including toilets) but with much greater vigour, greater honesty and without “corruption,” compared to the UPA. He has yet to identify a single programme of the UPA that he categorically promises to scrap.
It may be worth recalling that during the National Democratic Alliance’s “golden era,” Atal Bihari Vajpayee never once broke ranks with national consensus. The only time he could not live up to the obligations of this consensus was when he failed to show the door to the man responsible for the Gujarat riots in 2002. It was because he failed to safeguard the basic interests of the Indian state that the voters showed him the door. Now the same man who ensured the end of the Vajpayee era is asking for our indulgence, without any of the Vajpayeean refinements.
So, the grand question is this: has the country changed so much that it has suddenly become sanguine enough about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to accept its nominee as Prime Minister?
Arguably, democracies the world over breed distrust and dissatisfaction with the government of the day. We in India have made a habit of changing and challenging governments every five years. Indeed the only exception was when the UPA was voted back in 2009. That victory had perhaps as much to do with the UPA’s politics of becalming the nation and healing our collective wounds, as with the nature of its opposition. At nearly 80, L.K. Advani could not be the answer to a 77-year-old Manmohan Singh. Mr. Advani was too familiar a face, his pluses and minuses were all too well known to appropriate the mantle of “change.” His only claim to attention was that he was not a Manmohan Singh. And Dr. Singh’s advantage was that he was sought to be replaced by an Advani.
Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Its funny how electronic media including newspapers consider themselves an authority on what India wants. Who has given them this right to represent general public. Media is now a compromised institute driven by money and lust for power. Stories are planted, money extorted and yet they behave as champions of aam aadmi.
"The Hindu" in case of above article has no authority to judge whether Modi has been accepted by people or not. And on the same assumption a whole article is written.
Also how can a single man be responsible for riots. At best it can be said that he could have administered better but that can be debated. On flimsy grounds media is hounding one person for more than 10 years and yet he does not say a word about them and goes about performing his best. News outlets like "The Hindu" must understand that this tiring rhetoric is a thing of past. India has moved on and they must too.

He reportedly said, “Arey bhaiya sun to lo, main kya bol raha hoon (read Bhaiya at least listen to what I am saying).” (SIC)

It used to be Prathisthanpur before it was named Allahabad, problem kya hai ?

That would be Karnavati. In any case, us Gujjus are nothing if not conciliatory.. We call it Amdavad and write it like that in the Gujarati script as well.
Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Based on NM's actions and expressed thoughts, he is much more an establishment man i.e. does not believe in making too many legislative changes. Rather he believes in using the existing legislative frameworks with full utilization of the executive. Even when he had a near 2/3rd majority, he did not waste too much time in legislation but execution.negi wrote:It used to be Prathisthanpur before it was named Allahabad, problem kya hai ?

He knows changing Ahmedabad's name would be construed as being a revisionist and cheap points by many neutral people. Rather, improving the more basic requirements goes further in improving Gujarati asmita. Until now he has put his priorities in a pretty rational manner i.e. give importance to those activities that improve the basic necessities/utilities.
I feel there is some more work needed in terms of tribal education, since there are still many Ekal Vidyalayas active in Gujarat. I feel that if the state does its job correctly, Ekals should be needed/present only as an additional social work tool. The qualitative difference in infrastructure of Ekals in Gujarat is much better compared to other states from where I have seen photos (ex. Chhattisgarh, Orissa, MH or even TN ).

Since city has population above 10 lakhs, central cabinet approval is required

(aside -- one of proposals of my right to recall party manifesto is to change name of ahmedabad to karnavati. pls see section-12.16 , item-7 . Basically, the law-proposed says that people of state can change name without approval of center using referendum-like procedures )
Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Naming anything in India with outside the geography boundary connotation should not be allowed, unless we want to honour someone who has contributed to Bharat. So anything named after Aurangzeb, Timur, Ahmed, Abdali, Mohammed, Hastings, John, William, Pedro etc must be renamed to original. Hope NM takes it up after he settles down. At least when we have anationalist party with 400 plus seats, this must be taken up without ado. Rally how many Ahmeds are there in Ahmedabad? How many Allah worshippers in Prayag?

Along with above, self respect among Bhartiyas will come with prosperity. As we get rich we will start valuing our Indian passport. The madness of imported maal has reduced ever since we started our true hindu rate of growth. People are proud of Maruti cars, Tata Nano (although they hardly buy it for various reasons), ISRO, DRDO etc. The more we progress the more we rise in our own eyes.
Regarding how can we get rid of islamic fundamentalism, well, I doubt if even prosperity can change this attitude of them. As (un-advanified ) Shivji once said, they will have to be killed by each other en-masse by their own doing - just like xians - before the wisdom dawns to them.

Because there is something wrong in the way their religion is practiced .. or perhaps the doctrine itself is poisnous.
I don't know .. but something is really fishy there in the religious waters. That will not change .. whether they get richer or more educated. For others I might concede .. but this lot .. I don't think so.
Yet the prosperity and education will have some effect atleast. I'm hoping to see its benefits.

Reasonable and sophisticated as he is, President Mukherjee saw through the sinister game plan of Nitish Kumar, considered the whole issue in a holistic manner and facilitated the task of the BJP.The mature and statesman-like decision of President Mukherjee to cancel his Chandwa visit and return to Delhi on October 26 itself will go a long way in enabling the local BJP leadership to make the ‘Hoonkar Rally’ a grand success.

Either RG is plain dumb or publicly humiliating MMS to quit. The whole world knows the MMS is a AM and has entered parliament via a Assamese rajys sabha seat. He probably will not even get 10 votes if he stands in an election. Calling him a political guru is simply insulting him. Wonder why MMS has to keep taking it ..I mean why can he not simply quit!

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
NaMo should introduce "Secular studies" as a school subject. This will include introduction to all the major religions. There should be compulsory lessons for each individual group for further studies- ie. Hindu children can go to hindu class group, Muslims will go to theirs and so on. There will be grades which will require a minimum "pass" for them to be considered for next class or university etc.Ashok Sarraff wrote:(Re KJoishy's comment)

At higher classes, there can be specialisations on a topic such as mahabharata, ramayan, gita, vedas, upanishads, thirukural etc. followed by a presentation to the whole class on their topic. Articles and written material can be verified by external examiners. Only a minimum grade of pass is required.
Benefits:
1. All Indians gain an understanding of each other's religion. Meaning they can understand better and hopefully cooperate better.
2. The text books should be set up their respective religious groups but will be as neutral and objective as possible with the controversial subjects such as jihad left out.
3. All hindu children have a fundamental understanding of their religion. The specialisation will allow them to focus on a topic deeper. Investigate for better topics.
4. The grades of pass is only required, meaning they need to gather only working knowledge. They are not expected to be saints or priests etc.
5. If other religions students want to learn from their local religious schools such as madrassas, churches. They can do so. What they learn from govt curiculum will hopefully remove some poison out of those schools, if any.
In UK, they call it "religious studies" but we can call this "secular studies".

The idea is same i.e to increase the dharmic exposure, only thing is that there is govt hand behind it. We can wait for it to happen naturally once the exposure has reached a critical tipping point. For that, because of the billions (people and money) involved, we need a huge organizational support and only a govt can deliver that not any private venture.
