WHO AM I? PART 2


A COMMENT BY A FELLOW INDIAN.
Anonymous said...

I am a 20 year engineering student from ALLAHABAD.
I believe in every word that has been written above. Truly speaking enough is enough. We were servants of the BRITISH for some 200 years and now are ruled by the selfish, disgusting and money minded leaders who themselves don't know where to take the country. I mean seriously these guys who have some years left in their lives are ruling and we the youth hate politics for being a dirty war arena.

May be its time for us to show that we the SONS of INDIA are capable of doing the same for the NATION as the MARTYRS of freedom struggle did. Let me ask u all a simple question, a very simple question : Where is our MOTHERLAND lost after INDEPENDENCE?? Did BHAGAT SINGH, AZAD. GANDHI, NEHRU, BOSE and all ever dreamt of this country where nothing other than CHEAP POLITICS, CORRUPTION, CASTEISM and all dominate the 1 BILLION!!!! I think THE TIME HAS ARRIVED for us to show and CHANGE the nation.

Come be a part.

THE TALE OF WARRING PRs:


[WARNING: THIS IS A TALE OF TWO PR/AD AGENCIES WHO SUCCESSFULLY HANDLED THE PROMOTION OF SHAHRUKH KHAN’S RNBDJ & AAMIR KHAN’S GHAJINI. IT CONTAINS TEXT MOSTLY IN ROMANIZED HINDI. FANS BEWARE !]




PR1: the guy has stolen my idea, saale chor bhare pade poori industry main, chhodunga nahi use, I won’t leave him!


PRHEAD1: oye khote chup kar! Apna paisa to mil gaya na usko bhi thoda kamaa lene de, TV dekhkar jyada taen-faen mat kar.


PR1: saale ko itni tameez nahi ki kam se kam Thankyou hi bol deta, paise ki to baat hi door hai, phone karke dekhta hun kya bolta hai.


PR2: Hello.


PR1: abbey hello gaya tel lene, saale mere idea kyon chura raha hai?


PR2: What are you talking about? Kya chura liya bhai?


PR1: waah ek to chori upar se seenazori, teri himmat ki daad deta hu, bhaiya Aamir ka promotion campaign kyon copy kar liya, We worked so hard on the image, the black armband, the look, the points to put forth, the stance that how can we promote a film when the nation is going through such situations. Saale tumne sab chura liya?


PR2: dekh bhai aisa hai, ye idea sirf tujhe to aaya nahi hai, sab to is aag me apni apni rotiyaan senkne me lage hue hain to fir ham kyon nahi?


PR1: ulloo banana band kar, saale itna hi idea aa gaya tha to Shahrukh ko Malaysia Ka Award lene kyon bhijwa diya, aur baad me kahalwate fir rahe ho ki Shahrukh bahut roya, uska film promotion ka man nahi hai. Jaa jaa rakh le idea, kya yaad karega, kam se kam ek thankyou to bol deta par nahi, apne hakle ke saath ek din marega dekhna, abey samajh le Aamir Aamir hai, Shahrukh Shahrukh, Aamir ne har film ke pehle ye natak kiya par usko koi nahi pakad paya aaj tak, samajh le, achchha rakta hu.


[SOOTRADHAAR: TO MITRO YE THI DO PR LADAAKON KI KAHANI ISSE HAMEN YAH SEEKH MILTI HAI KI JO TV PAR DIKHTA HAI WO POORA SATYA NAHI HOTA, ISKE ALAVA HAMEN PATA CHALTA HAI KI APNI BHAVNAAON KO CHUPA KE RAKHNA CHAHIYE VARNA AGLA HAMLA WAHIN HOGA, AUR PR1 MAHODAY LOGO KO SAMAJH ME AA RAHA HAI NA HO TO YE PADH LO]

THE POLICIES & PROPOSALS OF JAGO PARTY ARE HARSH/ INHUMAN/ IMPRACTICAL/ AMATEURISH, I ALSO THOUGHT SO !

The first impression of these policies and proposals do seem amateurish and impractical, the first emotion to emerge is that of fear, the images of a police state comes to mind, the

horrors of emergency (if one has seen) are recalled.


The reason for it is that we think that if corrupt and criminals will have this fate what will happen to us, this too is not wrong for the corrupt, the criminals, the ‘bahubalis’, the ‘bhais’ today represent power, they are considered super-males, for an ordinary person cannot and does not break the rules, kill a person, rape someone, harass someone, exploit someone, and walk free without a guilty conscience and without police arresting him. Who can give punishments to such powerful people can surely and easily destroy me.


We start imagining a police (government) that controls each and every action of the citizen just like a fascist state or an authoritarian state and adding to that the stories of Police Excesses are well known all over the country. But this is wrong; I think the aim was to evoke fear in those who need to fear the laws (i.e. The Criminals) and not the common person. The aim was to tell people that this is possible, but people who are daily fed with facts from media (both print and electronic) and education system has entrenched in them that we have to work/ function under this system only, there is no need for change and change is bad.


We are the Champions of Legacies, the bureaucracy, the political system, the judicial system , each and everything copied borrowed from some other country, students in Class 10 learn a list of more than 20 countries from where our constitution is borrowed. Economic Model, the India’s innovation, The Mixed Model, we will have both Public and Private Sectors, we will neither on this side nor that, if anything goes wrong blame one part and the next time blame the other, and keep on this cycle for eternity. We will make 4 pillars of State when all the other countries have 3, we will give each a constitutional status so that everyone has a guarantee to loot the system and never be thrown out.


See this The Mixed Model Strategy, The Search for Best of Both World, leads us around a circular path and each time we stop we are at the crossroads, we have given this model 60 years, I say why not give a chance at least to a Model that takes one side instead of both, kick them out after 5 years, at least you could say that we experimented with it and the idea failed, but the problem is we have learned and built so many excuses that even a small step now look impossible. But whatever be your thinking, remember that the people who have vested interests in the system won’t gift you your rights at their own cost.


Coming back to the harshness issue, what I thought when I read various topics was that the person who has written this is influenced by Shankar’s two movies Naayak and Aparichit, the level of desperation, the thinking, the explanations can be seen in these two movies. Take for example the following clip from Naayak:







I have put my first and second impression of the policies and proposals of Jago Party before you. Now you have to decide which course you want to take, but wait just read what Mr. Nandan Nilekani has to say on these very issues, CLICK HERE ! Hope you find something similar, NOT THE LANGUAGE BUT CERTAINLY THE IDEA OF REFORM.


BUT THE MOST BASIC MISTAKE WE ALL MAKE IS TO SEE OURSELVES ON THE RECIEVING END NOT THE GIVING END, WHY CAN'T WE BE POLITICIANS, YOU REQUIRE THE LEAST QUALIFICATIONS TO BECOME ONE YET YOU ARE AFRAID OR DO YOU HAVE A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX THAT POLITICS IS A WORK OF LESSER MORTALS. . .PLEASE ANSWER. . . TO YOURSELF. . .TO ME IF YOU LIKE.
