Day 516

 There is a proverb in English “Man proposes and God disposes.” Same thing is happening with me right now. For the couple of months, whatever I have planned for my life, had failed. I don’t know how? I don’t know why? I looked for help also. I failed again. I don’t know what will happen next.

 

Responsibilities aren’t going to wait but financially I’m broken. Life has to go on, but I am losing every hope to carry it on. Daily, I’m looking for a new way but I’m getting failed daily. I don’t know how and when it will go but I can say that I’m going through rough phase of my life. Hope and faith on God are the things left in me right now. I’m just waiting for a miracle to happen.

 

Maybe this was the reason due to which I wasn’t able to concentrate on writing. Don’t know why and how I’m writing all these things today? I don’t have any answer for any question. 

Day 515

 In my last post, I wrote about the present political situation of Bihar. But there are few more factors which I didn’t mention in my last post. Well, it was not possible to mention all things in a single post. So, I just wrote about what was the scenario in Bihar in the last 35 years.

 

Actually, 35 years is a very long time. An entire generation started turning towards middle age. But in these 35 years, many generations have migrated from Bihar. Believe me, that loss isn’t going to be recovered. All the major industrialists have left the state and have put manufacturing units in other states. The students who went for higher studies didn’t return to Bihar and now they are settled in other parts of India as well as the world. One thing is sure that those who have migrated Bihar aren’t returning to Bihar neither is their next generation. 

But now, there has been entry of a new political party called Jan Suraj headed by Prashant Kumar. Well, Prashant Kumar aka PK isn’t a new name for Bihar politics. He was a political analyst who has worked with BJP, RJD, JD(U) and Congress. In 2014, he was attached with BJP. Its been said that he was responsible for election campaign for BJP nationwide. Chai pe charcha is one of his brainchild which helped BJP to have political debate at grassroot level. This helped BJP in the election which resulted in BJP led NDA government at the centre. In 2015, during Bihar state assembly election, Prashant Kumar helped the coalition of JD(U), RJD and Congress party. This time, JD(U) formed government with RJD and Congress. 

Now, Prashant Kumar isn’t attached with any political parties. Although, he was contacted by Udhav Thackeray before Maharashtra state assembly election but Prashant Kumar refused his services. Prashant Kumar initiated a programme in Bihar called Jan Suraj through which he began a tour of entire Bihar and started awareness amongst voters in Bihar. Now he has started his own political party. The way he has toured in state has started creating a base for him also. He has gone through villages across the state. I think this time he is using his political analyst power for himself. 

Actually, with the entry of Prashant Kumar, a new angle in upcoming election. So, its going to be an interesting election this time. Every political party is going to lure voters in their favour.  

 

Day 514

 I know that I’m continuing to be absent again. Regular writing always has been my aim but unfortunately I’m unable to achieve my aim. Every time, I try to achieve it but every time I fail in that. But after analysis, I have found that I’m not putting my full effort in this.

 

Well, today I’m not going to write on my flaws. Actually, topic selection is a tough job. But for the past few days, I’m very much tempted to write on politics but I don’t understand where to start. Actually, Indian politics is so much twisted and inter related that if you will look at any state politics then automatically other states will come in focus and hence the subject becomes length. Its because in India, whatever state you live in, major issues are faced in every state. Culturally, a state is different from another but politically all are interconnected.

 

In my last election, I wrote about the state wise Chakka Jam called by RJD and Congress Party in protest of so called corrupt practices being involved in connecting the voter id with Adhaar card of the voters in Bihar before the upcoming state assembly election. Rahul Gandhi said in his rally that the NDA government did the same thing during Maharashtra state assembly election and 10 per cent bogus voters were created that’s why Congress party and its allies in Maharashtra were unable to form government in Maharashtra. The government is saying that the action is being implemented by the Election Commission and it’s a necessary action to identify the bogus voters. Naturally, a common man will get confuse because both, government and opposition, are saying the same thing but in opposite sense.

 

But one thing is sure that the upcoming state assembly election in Bihar will be full of unexpected turns. In the last 35 years, Lalu Yadav and his wife has ruled for continuous 15 years and for the last 20 years we have seen Nitish Kumar’s rule. In the past 35 years, Bihar has seen many things. There was a time when Bihar was the last in implementations of the national schemes. This was due to the political will of Central government and state government because in the early years, Congress party was at the both levels. This created migration from Bihar for work, business and further studies.

 

Schools, technical colleges and Universities were there but gradually they turned into the major points for students politics and slowly and gradually the academic things took the backseat and political activities became priority. From 1990 to 2005, infrastructure went downhill instead of upliftment. Lalu Yadav became Chief Minister on his speeches to bring social reforms and for the upliftment of the weaker section. But his family became more rich and the weaker section of the society is at the same level till date. Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi regime favoured caste system and hence more migration of other sections to other parts of Bihar in name of further studies, work and business.

 

Politics was becoming favourite profession for criminals. Kidnapping, random ransom collection, extortion, land grabbing became common thing. Naxalites and rebel army of forward castes came in limelight. Mass murder became daily routine. Infrastructure wasn’t there. Roads were filled with potholes, industries were getting shut down. Proper irrigation system wasn’t there that’s why the crops were either drown in floods or were hit by draught.

 

Post 2005, when people voted for change and Nitish Kumar came in picture. From 2005 to 2015, indeed, Nitish Kumar worked on curbing the rising graph of criminals and criminal activities in state. Likewise, he improved the infrastructure in Patna, capital of Bihar, then he began to improve the infrastructure of other major cities and worked on the highways too. But in 2015, he switched to RJD and Congress alliance, then switched to BJP. Actually, 2015 to 2024, he was busy in playing switching game. BJP became enemy while Congress and RJD were true friends. Actually, we can give the credit of forming INDI Alliance to Nitish Kumar. INDI Alliance was the brain child of Nitish Kumar. He hosted the meeting at Patna where Mamta Banerjee, Udhav Thackeray, MK Stalin, Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann were present. But after formation of INDI Alliance, Nitish Kumar, went to meet Narendra Modi and again became an ally in NDA.

 

So, Nitish Kumar has lost his credibility by multiple switching. So, at present, voter in Bihar is confused again. Well, caste politics is one of the major key factors in Bihar politics. RJD is projecting Tejashwi Yadav as their Chief Minister Candidate. Congress party is just an ally of RJD. But NDA isn’t declaring its Chief Minister Candidate. As I have said that Nitish Kumar has lost his credibility by switching so many times that its difficult to say if he will continue then how many seats NDA will get in the state assembly. Actually, I think it’s a bigger headache for BJP than JD(U)  because JD(U) is certain that Nitish Kumar will be their leader. Now BJP has to take some strict decision whether to continue with Nitish Kumar or to convince him and put a new Chief Minister candidate in the election. 

Day 513

 Well, these days, I know I’m not regular again. Actually, choosing a topic has become the problem. In coming days, state assembly election is to begin in Bihar. The Election Commission has issued the dates. But the political parties have geared up and now phase wise they have started campaigning also.

 

Couple of weeks ago, Congress party in alliance with RJD has staged state wise Chakka Jam movement against the linking of voters id with the Adhaar card. Rahul Gandhi was saying that this is a desperate action taken by the Modi Government to manipulate the voting process by adding false voters in the revised voter’s list by providing false Adhaar card. He blamed that this action is to increase the false voters by 10% so that Modi government can win easily in Bihar just like it won in Maharashtra. Even RJD is supporting Congress party in this illogical statement. I can understand the problem with RJD because RJD and Congress are the partners in INDI Alliance in Bihar.

 

I think nobody has given the correct data to Rahul Gandhi about the status of Congress party in Bihar. The last time Congress party came in power in Bihar was in late 1980s. In the state assembly election in 1990, Lalu Yadav became the Chief Minister and we all know that till 2005, his family and party ruled the state. After that, Nitish Kumar is constantly making his government. So in this last 35 years, instead of making some place in Bihar politics, Congress party has shrink from its position. Frankly speaking, now the Bihar is divided in two political fronts. One front is of NDA and other front is of RJD. Even the voters and the mass of Bihar has forgotten the Congress party. Honestly speaking, no revival action was taken by Congress itself so its not correct to blame the public for forgetting the Congress party.

 

Honestly speaking, I don’t think that Congress can win double digit seats in Bihar assembly without aide of RJD or any other party. In the recent time, the way Congress party has shrink in other states also, should be the worry of Congress high command. But instead of thinking about the re emerging in Bihar politics, the central committee of Congress is looking for alliance to come into the limelight.

 

But one thing is for sure that voters play very crucial role in elections. They can turn the table in elections. Basically, I don’t believe the exit polls on any news channel. I don’t think that the entire system of exit polls is honest. The basic fundamental duty of a voter is that the voter shouldn’t disclose that he or she has casted vote to candidate of which political party. But the voters have become educated and smart in last two to three decades. They don’t tell exactly to whom they have voted. So, the survey is based on assumptions. That’s why there is so much variation between exit polls and final results. According to me, voters can lie but votes don’t lie.

 

Day 512

 There had been a gap since my last post. Some personal and professional work kept me busy and drew my attention so that I couldn’t concentrate on writing the blog. Anyway, I’m back again. But I have missed a lot of topics to write now. I was thinking that whether to start from where I left or should I write on another topic. Well, honestly speaking, I’m clueless about how to proceed. I’m stuck now.

 

There are a lot of things happening now. Recently, a video clip was viral on social media platform where a lady was targeted by a man. There were verbal fight between them. The lady was the branch manager of State Bank of India in a branch in Bangalore. The customer was saying that you are working in Bangalore so you should talk in Kannada only. The branch manager replied that she is working in India so she can talk in Hindi also. This viral video burnt the internet. But at the end, the branch manager got transferred to some another branch outside Bangalore. I don’t understand the reason from her transfer. Recent back, the workers of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, targeted people who weren’t talking in Marathi.

 

I don’t know when these people will learn. Whatever happened in Pahalgam should be an eye opener for all of us. 27 innocent people were killed on the basis of religion. But still few of us has to fight for language and caste and region. All of us should remember that we are Indians and anyone can work or live in any part of India. There is no difference amongst us. Raj Thackeray and his party members should learn and remember that even Maharashtra is a part of India. Its not a special region or outside India. So, they have to stop their nonsense act. They have to think that if the same thing happens with them also then what will they feel? But they are so coward that they won’t go anywhere outside Maharashtra and speak Marathi only. They can show their power in Maharashtra only.

 

I strongly condemn these type of things. As I have said that these things should be stopped. Instead of these things, we should think about the progressive things for the betterment of the society and country.

 

 

 

Day 511

 Since last Friday, conflict between Israel and Iran has made the headlines across the globe. Well, I think this war won’t go long. It’s a one sided conflict because Israel is going to win this war and it has showed its upper hand and Iran has done nothing. Actually, the whole conflict is about the nuclear programme of Iran. Israel has always been opposed to the Iran’s nuclear programme. Israel’s opposition of Iran’s nuclear programme isn’t without any reason.

 

Iran has always supported Hamas in Palestine. We know about the conflict between Palestine and Israel very well. Iran has supported Hezbollah in spreading its base outside Lebanon. The military wing of Hezbollah has targeted Israel’s military and civilian bases. Well, it’s a well-known fact that since Israel got independence in 1948, all the Muslim countries in the world were against Israel. Israel has always fought against Muslim countries for its existence. During 1967, Israel was fighting against Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In just six days, Israel defeated these countries. It showed the supremacy of Israel over its enemy. Egypt, Syria and Jordan were having more military power than Israel but still Israel emerged as winner. This was due to the strategy used Israel. Israel Defence Force or IDF, doesn’t works along. Mossad and other Israel’s intelligence agencies comes together with IDF for all operations against the enemies of Israel.

 

Mossad alone has given enough trouble to Iran. Well, this Israel Iran cold war isn’t a new thing. We can trace its roots back in 1979. While Iran has been busy in supporting Palestine and giving military support to Hezbollah and PLO, Israel diverted its resources in innovations and espionage. In 2010, Iran’s nuclear site, Natanz nuclear base, was damaged by a computer virus. Its said that the computer virus named Stuxnet was designed by Israel and America to fail Iran’s nuclear programme. Well, this allegation by the Iran hasn’t been proven but Iran knows that Israel was the mastermind behind this sabotage.

For a last week, Israel has fooled Iran by the precision strike. IDF and Mossad has set up their secret base in Iran and Iranian intelligence agencies were unaware of it. Now, I must say that this secret mission of Israel has fooled Iranian intelligence agencies. With the secret base, Israel has done precision strike. They have launched their missiles and drones which targeted Iranian military and intelligence officers early morning at their homes. The intensity of the strike were just target based so that there should be no collateral damage and it was carried like such. Iran never thought of doing such things neither thought that it should happen to them. Mossad and IDF has really fooled Iranian intelligence. How cleverly they smuggled those equipment and commandoes right under the nose of Iran agencies? I think it’s humiliation of Iran government and its agencies. Mossad successfully made its base near Tehran. The base was equipped with jammers, anti-missile systems and drones and vehicles. I wonder how does these things got smuggled in Iran? If a country is your enemy then how does enemy’s vehicles and other equipment got into your country? This clearly shows negligence from the Iranian intelligence agencies.

 

Well, one thing is clear. Israel has always been fighting for its existence. Be it Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Be it Palestine. Be it Hazbullah. Be it diplomatic wars. Israel has always worked for existence. 

Day 510

 The tragic incidence at Ahmedabad has shocked the entire nation. The way in which this incidence had happened is really sad and unfortunate thing in the recent times. My condolence is with all those families who have lost their loved ones in this sad incidence. May Lord give peace to their souls.

 

I thought to write more but I’m curious to know about the final findings of the investigation going on. Then only it will be appropriate to say anything. I think saying anything at this point of time will be mere speculations. Nobody knows the exact things which happened to the ill fated plane which costed so many lives. Its really heartbreaking to know that entire family had lost their lives. I have stopped watching the news channels because the reporters have touched the bottom line now. Just for TRP, reporters are running after the relatives of the dead persons. They are shoving their microphones in front of those people and asking stupid questions like how are you feeling after loosing your near and dear ones? What type of question is this?

 

I think that in the recent years, journalism has become a game of TRP only. Almost all news channels are on air and on digital platforms. Huge competition is there amongst all the media houses to be on the top. But that doesn’t means that journalist should become senseless. The Ahmedabad incidence is so devasting that the dead bodies are being identified by the DNA test. Its very hard to imagine the mental conditions of the relatives. Already seeing the burnt dead bodies of the close ones and then waiting for the DNA match results so that they can have the dead bodies of their loved one. I think this is the most difficult time for anyone. In this condition journalists are there with their cameras and stupid questions like how do you feel? I hope that journalists should become a little bit human in time of tragedies like this.

 

I know its their duty to report the news to everyone. But there should be humanity in them. Well, I’m not against any journalist but I’m not in favour of their working style. Its true that the journalists spend most of the time outdoors just to show what’s happening in the world. I’m just saying that have patience while reporting any accident. Its well known fact that anyone will be disturbed and in shock after getting the news of death of the family member.

Again, I wish my deepest condolences to the family members of who died in Ahmedabad plane crash. May their souls gets peace and salvation.
