The Fight for opposition space in India

Over the decades after India gained independence, the political choice of the country remains firm. It is the Indian National Congress that they want, just like Russians and Chinese love their Red parties. The fact that the INC has the media dangling from its pockets like loose change cements its position in the Indian political theater. Add to that, love for royalty among the ordinary folks who still live in the times of rajas and maharajas. But what is going for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is that his lust for power is so great that he is playing the crony capitalism game quite well. Corruption is at its peak and the corporate India which is benefiting from this, is overwhelmingly supporting Dr. Singh. Take the example of how telecom companies conspired in the 2G spectrum scam. Or, new age leaders like Nandan Nilekani, leading dubious projects like Adhar, gulping down crores of taxpayer money. So INC is at comfortable advantage. Problems are arising now for oppo...

The New President

Allow those men to strip minors on the street. Let them shoot their plight. Don't say anything to the teachers who make their students drink urine. Legalize them to loot the wealth of the country of poor. He did the same. He witnessed with mute, atrocities of the Emergency. He did nothing for the wealth of his nation. He was spineless in the development of his own land. And today, Pranab Mukherjee, has been chosen by the billion plus population of India to be its first citizen for the same reason. Either be a sycophant or shut the hell up, close your eyes and concentrate on paying taxes on time. Yes pay the taxes on time, for as the new President takes oath of office, the entire nation too would be observing an oath. To protect, feed and keep comfortable terrorists like Afzal and Kasab in our jail cells. We shall pay as much taxes as needed for prisons as many of our beloved, nation's beloved have to spend some time their these days too. We will never ever hang such me...

Shattering Sunshine

Published on 21/05/2012 17:13 You are alone in a cell you built for yourself. Distanced from the sun and noise of the world. That's is the problem with fantasies. You want to head out, explore, have new adventures. But all you get is sunshine. Sunshine that glares you down. You get scared and go back to your cocoon. Yet, the desires of adventures unexplored remain. They always remain. But sunshine. Makes you crouch. Makes your back turn around. It shatters.
