The Economist's Coverage Of Modi Anniversary: Poor

Bill Clinton ended up giving America the longest peacetime economic expansion in history. Were people able to see that coming in year 1? In year 2? In year 3? No. Some things take time.

Frankly, part of The Economist's coverage is patronizing. Perhaps the London newspaper has a colonial hangover.

Look, I was not even rooting for Modi in the 2014 election, and you can check this blog's archives. Although I did not blame him for the 2002 riots (got to respect the Supreme Court) and I liked his work as Gujrat Chief Minister a lot. I came to him late. But I have come to him strong.

This guy is Deng Xiaoping. Manmohan Singh started economic reforms in India. But he did not have the political skills or stature that Modi has.

This guy's hero is Lee Kuan Yew, and for good reason.

The International Importance Of Owaisi

The goal is a total spread of democracy across the Muslim world and there the Owaisi brothers are uniquely positioned. They are a parliamentary force, they are a democratic force, they are an electoral force.

To the Hindus I say, take pride in your religion. But also, take pride in your citizenship. Your citizenship requires that you do right by Muslims.

Muslim marginalization in India has to end. Democracy has to be seen working for India's Muslims before it can be sold across the Muslim world.

Akbar was a great king. अब तो राजाओं का जमाना रहा नहीं --- I hope some day India sees a duly elected Muslim Prime Minister. That is what India has to do if it aspires to become a global power like America.

अमरिका का राष्ट्रपति काला आदमी बन सकता है तो कोइ मुसलमान भारतका प्रधान मंत्री क्यों नहीं बन सकता?

दलितों को, मुसलमानों को बराबरी नहीं मिलती तो उस भारत पे मुझे गर्व नहीं हो सकता।

दलित, महिला, मुसलमान
सबकी एक ही चाहत
बराबरी बराबरी

Owaisi, Like Atal, Is A Great Parliamentarian

Who’s afraid of Owaisi? Congress, Lalu, Mulayam, Mamata …

For the first time since the Muslim League migrated to Pakistan, a political party with undiluted Muslim credentials is making a credible bid for support on an allIndia basis. ....... Its ambitions are pan-Indian. It is a gathering (majlis) of Muslims on the platform of unity (ittehad). Its leader, Asaduddin Owaisi, an MP , refuses to be embarrassed by his focus, or faith, or his route map in the competitive jungle of democratic aspiration. ...... Aurangabad’s just-concluded municipal elections. The MIM won 26 of 54 seats it contested in the 113-member body to become the third largest party after BJP and Shiv Sena. Congress slipped from 19 seats to 11; NCP from 11 to two. In the recent assembly bypoll in Mumbai, which Congress heavyweight Narayan Rane lost, MIM got most of the Muslim votes. Something is happening. ....... There has been no Muslim leader of Indian Muslims since Maulana Azad, and he was a spent force by 1947. ........ There were only 11, 19 and 20 Muslim MPs in the first three Lok Sabhas, or in the decade when Congress under Nehru had a virtual monopoly and could get, as was often said, a lamppost elected. This was between 2 to 4% representation for 14% of India. ...... In Bengal, Muslims have around 30% of the vote. Do they get 30% of MPs even under the Left and Trinamool Congress? Try another joke. ....

The present Lok Sabha has only 22 Muslim members.

...... The young are tired of clichés. They want education. Their habitat and skills are largely urban rather than rural. They want jobs. They are starved for employment. ..... Five MIM councillors in Aurangabad are Dalit. The MIM has shown the capacity not only to pull voters in its direction but also to transfer votes to its non-Muslim candidates. ..... The MIM seems to have acquired some critical mass in Maharashtra but we will have to see whether its leader, Owaisi, has that willpower to carry his momentum into the Hindi heartland, and Bengal, which is where his future will be shaped.

मोदी के चाय दोकान पे चर्चा

कहने वाले कह रहे हैं मोदी के पिता जी के पास चाय दोकान तो थी लेकिन मोदी वहाँ टाइम नहीं बिताते थे, मटरगश्ती किया करते थे।

मेरे homevillage में जब पहली मर्तबा चाय दोकान आया तो कइयों की जमीन बिक गयी ---- true story. सत्य कथा। Peer pressure के बदौलत लोग बैठ जाते थे चाय पिने। पैसा रहता नहीं था। दोकान वाला अपने किताब में हिसाब लिख लेता था। सुद ब्याज जोड़ते जोड़ते कइयों की जमीन चली गयी।

Mining The Asteroid Belt

अंग्रेजो ने भारत का जो सोना चुराया, अफ़ग़ानिस्तान के पठानो ने भी चुराया। एस्टेरोइड बेल्ट में जाओ और उससे ज्यादा सोना ले के आ जाओ। Gold, platinum सब है। इतना सोना प्लैटिनम बगैरह है वहाँ पर कि ला सको तो सोना पानी के भाओ आ जाए। सिर्फ झारखण्ड में कोयला की खुदाइ कब तक करते रहोगे? एस्टेरोइड बेल्ट में करोडो झारखण्ड हैं। 

Free The Nipple

I like the idea.

ये राजा सिंह कौन?

इसका मैंने पहले कभी न नाम सुना न ही भविष्य में इसका मैं नाम सुनना चाहता हुँ। चेहरा मोहरा से ये राजा तो लगता नहीं। और न इसके शर पे कोई सिंग है। तो फिर ये राजा सिंह क्यों कहता है अपने आपको? ये राजा सिंह कौन? ये कहता है अकबर ओऐसी के दादा हिन्दु थे। अरे राजा सिंह, सोंचो, अकबर ओऐसी के दादा अगर हिन्दु थे और वो मुसलमान बन गए तो सोंचो, उसके दादा को अकल आ गयी, तेरे दादा को अकल क्यों नहीं आयी?

ये राजा सिंह जैसे लोगों को बीजेपी sideline नहीं करती तो भारत विश्व शक्ति नहीं बन सकता। भारत में मुसलमानों को बराबरी देनी होगी। तब ही भारत विश्व शक्ति बन सकता है। किसी मुसलमान को उप प्रधान मंत्री बनाओ, किसीको गृह मंत्री बनाओ।

मैं तो चाहुँगा १५ साल में केंद्र में बीजेपी और मजलिस का कोएलिशन गवर्नमेंट बने। Majlis is best positioned for the idea that democracy is the best form of government, and democracy needs to spread into every Muslim country on earth. जो काम अमरिका नहीं कर सका वो काम भारत करे। Make democracy an export item.

मजलिस का मेसेज सिंपल है ---- (१) अपने मुसलमान होने का गर्व करो (२) संगठित हो जाओ (३) वोट दो। लेकिन सिर्फ opposition mindset से काम नहीं चलना है। राज कर के दिखाओ। २-४ बड़े शहरों से शुरू करो। बाद में कहीं state government बनाओ।

हिन्दुवों को कहुँगा, हिन्दु होने का गर्व करो, मगर दंगा फसाद मत करो। Live and let live. Enjoy your religion, but also your citizenship. Your citizenship requires that you treat Muslims right.
