Can some Gurus expand on the unprecedented vishwas that the lower sections of the society is putting in Narendra Modi? How strong a factor is his social background for his rise (Jati + family background) versus his track record?

From the rallies and social media, it seems the upper middle class harbors the maximum portion of Modi-skeptics whereas the underprivileged are not shy of braving the sun, heat and dust for this man.

If Kalyan Singh was not sabotaged, we may have had a precursor to Modi two decades back - but he did not carry the track record of NDA rule and MP+Goa+CH+Guj development records to back on.

weaker economic sections will always appreciate a hard worker from a humble background. they would surely relate less to a fair skinned doon educated elite type who has NEVER faced any of their hardships in life. and it surely resonates that namo didnt use his power and position to enrich his entire clan of siblings and relatives as our "leaders" usually do, nor he is pushing a son or daughter as a successor. there are many such ancient examples of people who gave up everything to serve the state like grandsire Bheesma and many of immense power like Parashurama who were simply not interested in the trappings of power.

the underpriviledged have to deal with the sun, heat and dust everyday. just if you look at the typical village middle aged man, he looks 10 yrs older than real age due to hardship and sun exposure and his skin is blackened by years of working in the open.

these people would not know the diff between pasta and antipasti, but usually will not sell the country down the river.

The upper caste party image has always been a liability for BJP. If NaMo can break the caste walls and ensure a hiondu consolidation in hindi heartland then it will change the political landscape of the country for decades to come. It will be the death knell of quota politics of SP-BSP types as well.

Having said that I haven't seen Modi using his caste as a card in this elections so far. It is a good thing too.

Getting U.S.-India Ties Back on Track
Ashley J. Tellis Op-Ed April 15, 2014 India Today
carnegieendowment.org | Nov 30th -0001

It is now an open secret that India-U.S. relations are in trouble. In sharp contrast to the euphoria on both sides when the nuclear deal was concluded, bilateral ties between the world’s largest and oldest democracies are today brittle and frayed. Although casual observers woke up to this reality with the debacle surrounding the Indian consular official’s arrest in New York, the truth is that ties began to lose momentum long before this unfortunate incident.
The plateauing probably began with the nuclear liability law enacted in India early during the Manmohan Singh government’s second term. This legislation chagrined India’s international champions, especially the U.S., leaving them disappointed because of the adverse impact on all private suppliers to India’s nuclear energy program. The economic downturn in India, which had begun even earlier, only made things worse: it took the bloom off the Indian success story—a hit that was only amplified later by counterproductive policies vis-a-vis taxation of foreign companies and preferential market access. Although some of these retrograde initiatives were subsequently reversed, these corrections failed to capture the headlines the way that the damning original initiatives did.

Great harm was thus done not merely to India, but also to the U.S. In Washington, dismayed policymakers watched an Indian government that had gone off the reformist rails, substituting the sensible pro-growth policies of yesteryear with new populist schemes that threatened the exchequer and unnerved the investors. Even activities that previously heralded the strength of the bilateral ties began to flag. In an ominous sign of how much Singh had lost control over his own vision, defense cooperation began to run into strong headwinds. Also, past diplomatic engagement rooted in common concerns about China began to lose steam as India seemed intent on distancing itself from Washington in an effort to chalk gains in Beijing that never came.

With such trends, India no longer looked like a winning proposition to politicians in Washington. Their attentions quickly shifted elsewhere, creating a vacuum that would be filled by those who cared little about the ties. The unkindest cut was levied by American business which, dismayed by both the diminishing opportunities in India and the UPA 2’s unfriendly policies, propelled the clamor of opposition to India in the press and on the Capitol Hill. In such a poisoned atmosphere, special interests—not strategic vision—came to rule the day and the “defining partnership” that U.S. President Barack Obama and Manmohan Singh had expected to seal ceased to be so.

Thankfully, not all is lost. If the relationship lost momentum mainly because of India straying off its high-growth path, recovering its economic promise will do much to repair ties. The coming elections in India will herald a new leadership. On current trends, it looks like Narendra Modi will be the new prime minister. Modi, undoubtedly, feels personally bruised by the past U.S. decision to revoke his visa. Consequently, he is unlikely to be accused of harboring fuzzy feelings towards Washington. Yet Modi is, above all, a nationalist who will do whatever is necessary to advance India’s interests. If the relationship is to be jumpstarted under such circumstances, Washington will have to extend an outstretched hand of partnership to the man—and fast.

Nothing that has happened in the past few years has erased the need for a strong India-U.S. partnership. If anything, the world around India and beyond has become more complicated. In the subcontinent, the dangers confronting New Delhi are increasing—a weakening Pakistan, a strengthening China, and a variety of unstable neighboring states. In the wider world, the threats to territorial sovereignty are still alive—both those mounted by India’s friends, such as Russia, and those levied by its rivals, such as China. The multilateral trading system on which India’s prosperity depends is changing in ways that could hurt its long-term interests. Also, the dangers of terrorism, nuclear weapons and threats to the global commons have not abated.

All these will require renewed India-U.S. cooperation. And achieving that will require, for starters, a new consensus on how the problems on India’s immediate periphery are to be managed. A Modi government will insist on New Delhi’s interests being taken more clearly into account in U.S. decisions affecting the region. Washington, in turn, will be looking for ways in which India can be an effective partner on a range of global issues. Although it is commonplace to complain about the recent deficits in the White House, South Block has not distinguished itself in contrast either. If this gap can be filled, and India’s return to economic success assured, there is enough to sustain a fruitful engagement that serves mutual interests for a long time to come.

As many of us were expecting the TV9 interview of Modi confirms his non vindictive nature. His focus is development, good governance, law and order. If at all any Jaanch of the Dynasty and it's dealings does take place, it will be done by institutional processes. NOw that is loaded in it's own way. Modi comes across a very mature and level headed person. His defense of Joshi, no ill feelings. His very down to earth humble way he handles questions on senior leaders is disarmament of those that oppose him is at the highest levels of personal evolution. The man is very highly evolved. Not seen many even on the moksha Sanyasi paths, let alone the political realms that are as highly evolved as Modi. Gives me personally better insight why Lord Krishna praised the Karma Yogi so highly in BG. Awesome.

The MNC owners and their prime agent, Italikeni are spending money like water to ensure that Italikeni gets to Parliament. The plan obviously is to ensure that once Italikeni gets to be an MP there are only 543 people to manage to make Italikeni the PM, never mind the fact that BJP will be the single largest party. Note that Italikeni isn't a member of the INC but has been given INC ticket. So anti defection law may also not apply to him, or atleast it will go for judicial review. The EC has allowed this dubious business. Right now India's future is in the hands of the 15 lakhs electorate of Bangalore South. So please please vote for Ananth Kumar. Alternately encourage the Mainorities to vote for AAP or NOTA.

Devi Shetty of Narayan Health: Narendra Modi can deliver - has clear vision on how India should be run

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opi ... ms?curpg=3

I think there is an inconsistency between the two points raised on page 3 i.e. the answer to
"In healthcare sector, what are the immediate reforms the new government could look at" is not consistent with his answer to "Are you favouring a "for-profit" education system?". It is possible I misunderstood.

In case you don't know Dr. Devi Shetty, you can find information at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devi_Shetty


Dr. Shetty was also a guest on Amir Khan's show Satyamev Jayate (episode on Medical Profession)

Does anyone know more about "Health assurance" versus "Health insurance"? Is there a real policy difference or is there any difference in what is promised? Modi is the population who has ventured to talk in the most detailed manner about health-nutrition. Modi seems to have used some thought process reflected in Dr.Hegde's 4 minutes video. But any elaboration on this would be great to communicate on SM.

I suppose the idea is to provide clean drinking water, clean (unpolluted) air and encourage a healthy life, so that people dont easily fall sick. This could also include for example incentives for regular exercising and nutritious food.

Health assurance >> Healthy living > Good food, water, air + Good sanitation + preventive checkup > Better life + Longer life + Lower cost

Health insurance >> Treatment after you've screwed up your health > Hospitals + treatment + medicine > Diseased life + shorter life + Societal cost like lower productivity, etc + more expensive

er No . another officer has found his voice, seeing the trends...if u recall before UPA, whenever a sensational crime took place, people would demand a cbi enquiry over the local cops. that was when cbi was not used as a tool to hunt political opponents.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi ... 792797.cms

NEW DELHI: Former West Bengal governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi on Tuesday stunned the CBI brass, describing the agency as 'department of dirty tricks (DDT)' which had gained disrepute for being the "government's hatchet", clothed in opacity with a perfume of mystery.

Gandhi's remarks came while he delivered the 15th D P Kohli Memorial Lecture for CBI on "Eclipse at Noon: Shadows Over India's Conscience" with nearly 3000 officers of the agency in the audience.

"It (CBI) is seen as the government's hatchet, rather than honesty's ally. It is often called DDT — meaning not the dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane, the colourless, tasteless, odourless insecticide it should be, but the department of dirty tricks," said Gandhi.

Named after one of its chiefs, the lecture organized by the CBI every year is among the important events on the calendar of Delhi's power elite. However, few among the hosts would have anticipated the candid criticism they were subjected to by Gandhi who, undeterred by the hospitality, forthrightly highlighted all the perceived shortcomings — susceptibility to political pressure to overreach in cases involving senior bureaucrats — which have dulled the lustre of the agency.

A former bureaucrat himself, Gandhi echoed the recent criticism of the agency for its cases against some senior civil servants. "There is justified criticism of CBI highhandedness and lack of sensitivity to loss of reputation of senior members of the bureaucracy against whom needless inquiries can get initiated ... there is a temptation to bring down reputation of civil servants through unethical leaks to the media in real time during the course of the investigation," he said. "This is despicable."

He advised the CBI director and its officers not to get swayed by sensationalism and that they should resist the temptation of 'leaks'. He said at times the CBI is used as a tool to force civil servants to fall in line. "No political party is a saint in this matter. But the CBI cannot afford to be complicit in this capriciousness. It must resist the unethical overtures," he said.

Gandhi's comments have come against the backdrop of CBI's controversial decisions to launch preliminary enquiries against former SEBI chief C B Bhave and former SEBI full-time member K M Abraham, and lodge an FIR against former coal secretary PC Parakh .

Bhave has demanded an apology from CBI if the enquiry ends in a closure while Parakh has lashed out at the agency.

If Gandhi took him by surprise, CBI director Ranjit Sinha did not show it. He described Gandhi's speech as "scintillating". "I always welcome healthy criticism. What Mr Gandhi has said is an opinion. We have taken it in the right spirit," said Sinha.

In his 45-minute speech, Gandhi advised CBI officers to say no to "in-service lollipops or a post-retirement cookie". "The CBI director should be a phenomenal instrument, not a self-operating robot. He and his bureau should be guardians of the law, never a law upon themselves," said the 69-year-old former bureaucrat, who is now chairman of Indian Institute of Advance Studies (IIAS).

Gandhi also opposed the decision to keep CBI outside the purview of RTI Act. "This is a great pity. The CBI is about investigations into corruption and certain crimes. It is not security or intelligence agency," he said.

He favoured a "spectacularly autonomous" and not "sensationally autonomous" CBI. "I would like the CBI not to be under the government for then it would have no autonomy, but I would like it to be accountable to the Republic ... I would like the CBI to be under the Lok Pal, just as the Army is under the defence minister ... the Director of the CBI, like an Army or Air Force or Navy Chief, should be totally independent professionally but not a loose cannon," he said.

Gandhi also targted the Reliance Industries, dubbing it a "parallel state" that exercised prower brazenly over natural and financial resources.

"We used to talk of black money as a parallel economy and so it continues to be. But Reliance is a parallel State. I do not know of any country where one single firm exercises such power so brazenly, over the natural resources, financial resources, professional resources and, ultimately, over human resources as the company of the Ambanis," said Gandhi.

"From (B R) Ambedkar who spoke of economic democracy to Ambani who represents a techno-commercial monopoly of unprecedented scale, is a far cry indeed," he said.

Talking about the economic health of the country, Gandhi said the economy had seen some phenomenal successes with many homeless getting houses and other items of necessity. "Our economy is startling if you do not want to see its other side. If you see that side, you will see it is schizophrenic. Corporate greed has crossed all bounds, as has corporate tastelessness," he added.

Yes, he is from Hassan though. Not from Mysore. Some people in Mysore are not happy that an "outsider" is chosen because Mysore in general is cliquish. Congress may be using this issue. My old classmate met Simha at an event and put up pictures on FB. He is 38 and my friend he is very down to earth.

SidV should be tried for violating Indian law by taking up editorship of an Indian national daily while being a foreign national. Ask Subbu swamy, he'll know some sub-clause in the fine print that'll allow for the case to go to trial. And since there're national security implications, try under the non-bailable NSA. only.
