Where Is Rahul Gandhi?

The questions “Where is Rahul Gandhi?”, “Why Rahul is silent?” etc have been doing the rounds for quite some time now, without getting any convincing & sufficient answers! The sabbatical he took from the Parliament when the session was going to begin was something unheard of from a politician of Rahul’s stature!

Introspection makes one silent and, reminiscences, too, do the same! This seems to be what has happened to Rahul Gandhi, who is far away from the maddening crowd & the eulogisers of the scion! He has gone into the world of meditation from where he will come out, if he wishes to, to make or mar the party of legendary proportions which, at present, lay in tatters!

Someone said he was in the Himalayas (Searching for the mythical Yeti?!) & the others pointed to the multitudes of political possibilities which include the rearrangement in the top echelons of Congress politics, the implication of the ‘44’ seat strength of the Grand Old Party in the Lok Sabha & even the disbanding of the Congress Party!

BUT, when one thinks that he is in the Himalayas & that too for introspection & reminiscences, the chances of a new world of new thoughts & ideas getting revealed to him cannot be completely ruled out; and, he has a lot to ruminate about & introspect, too!

For the boy, as he was at that time, who saw his grandmother, who was shot dead by her own body guards who supported the terror outfit Khalistan movement, disappearing in dense fumes into a world of no personal existences & his father following the same route his grandmother went, just 7 years after the first tragedy, blown into pieces by another terror organisation for whatever he did to PROTECT THE INDIANS – Read Tamils in Srilanka!- the reminiscences cannot be that comfortable!

But, at this crucial juncture, where it’s been reduced into a mere 44 @ the last Lok Sabha elections, the political party which depended that much on the Nehru-Gandhi family since Independence, Rahul has to do something to pick the party out of this precarious situation, ‘IF’ HE WILLS SO AFTER HIS LENGTHY INTROSPECTION! And, here is where from the True Leader emerges, if one emerges at all!

When one goes back in Time, it is pretty clear that all the 3 prime ministers which the Nehru-Gandhi family produced had been the victims of the stand they had taken, where ‘Taking No Stand’ had never been a virtue! Nehru passed away in 1964 in the pain inflicted upon him by the 1962 Chinese betrayal, when the Chinese back stabbed him & took away large tracts of Indian Territory in North-East & Ladakh, despite the pretended bonhomie shown from the Chinese side!

Indira Gandhi was betrayed by her own pro Khalistan security men for exterminating the Khalistan terrorist group, which operated & terrorised from the Golden Temple premises, in Amritsar, in 1984, which caused unusual human losses to the Indian army!

Rajiv Gandhi was betrayed by the Tamil terrorist organisation LTTE ‘for protecting them’ from the ‘PRETENDED or ASSUMED’ Tamil persecution in Srilanka, where too the Indian army (IPKF – Indian Peace Keeping Force) lost heavily due to the impossible stand taken by the LTTE!

While ruminating, Rahul’s cup is full! As the vice president of the Congress party @ its lowest ebb, Rahul must have super human senses & ability IF he wants to lift the party from its present day abyss! He must be answering multitudes of questions from ‘within’ which makes his Introspection long & painful! He would be wondering what was it that went wrong with his party that made it lose so badly that even a resurrection plan takes years to come forth?!

‘Bad governance or No governance’ is ‘made to be’ the MAIN thing behind the drubbing the party got in the 2014 elections! But, A BIG BUT, when he sees the ‘SAME’ programmes & policies created & followed by his so called ‘Bad governance or No governance Party’, which include the Aadhar, Insurance policy (FDI), Black Money (Bringing It Back from the foreign shores!), The Secret Subhas Chandra Bose Documents, Article 370 & a variety of other things, ardently followed & implemented by the Modi government, he can surely doubt ‘ON WHAT THE INDIAN DEMOCRACY RUNS’?!  

While he ruminates, he will definitely come to the point that reminds him that his father was ousted from power in 1989 due to ‘TILL DATE’ UNPROVEN Bofors Scam! And, because of this GROUNDLESS ALLEGATION, which VP Singh ‘PROMISED’ (BUT, ‘NEVER’ fulfilled?!) the Indians way back in 1989 that he would make come in the open, if voted into power, within a year, made the Indians vote against the incumbent Rajeev Gandhi government.

Due to the moral standards he followed, Rajeev Gandhi sat in the opposition despite his party becoming the single largest party in the Lok Sabha in the 1989 elections, after the so called Bofors Scam was ‘REVEALED’ by the righteous media & various righteous politicians of various righteous political parties of that time! And, it was this ‘moral standards’ he showed made him lose his life!

Definitely, Rahul will think more than a couple of times about the transient standards of political morality & other value based standards in Indian politics & the HABIT of the so called ‘ALWAYS MORALLY & OTHERWISE CORRECT’ modern Indian citizens to remember ‘ONLY’ those ‘limited things’ which were ‘not’ done properly, throwing away ‘all’ the innumerable good things done into wholesome oblivion! He will ALSO be forced to think about the futility in trying to rectify what is non rectifiable, giving one’s own life in Indian politics!

THE HARD REALITY that sacrificing ‘3’ Prime ministers from the Nehru-Gandhi Family for the country is NEVER appreciated  & NEVER seems to be ENOUGH for the Indians will DEFINITELY take ENOUGH TIME PONDERING, may be decades, out of Rahul’s life, as the people of India seems to be indifferent & arrogant in Respecting Values, Quality & Other Worthy Standards of Life & Politics! It will ALSO come into his mind that ‘EVEN’ the ‘Father of the Nation’ is not spared in the mud - slinging competitions (Or should we call them ‘Mud Slinging Celebrations’, a wild variety of Holi?!) run in every nook & corner of the so called democratic country, India, by whoever interested in these sort of ‘shameless mud - slinging parties & celebrations’!

He will definitely spend Time on ‘his own life’, as well! He will think a thousand times ‘whether’ to come back into active politics at all as in a country where ‘3’ sacrifices are NOT counted enough, what is the significance & use of a FOURTH ONE, when & where the sun will rise in the east as if nothing will have happened & people continue their well groomed habits of pleasures, including the non - stop mudslinging at all the people who are dead, in the surety that no dead man EVER slung the mud back!

The Fear Factor!

“Where The Mind Is Without FEAR. & The Head Is Held High;

Where Knowledge Is Free;

Where The World Has Not Been Broken Up

Into Fragments By Narrow Domestic Walls;

Where Words Come Out From The Depth Of Truth;

Where Tireless Striving Stretches Its Arms Towards Perfection;

Where The Clear Stream Of Reason

Has Not Lost Its Way Into The Dreary Desert Sand Of Dead Habit;

Where The Mind Is Led Forward By Thee Into Ever-Widening Thought & Action –

Into That Heaven Of Freedom, My Father, Let My Country Awake!”

Gitanjali, Rabindranath Tagore.

NEW SCIENTIFIC STUDIES HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT THAT THE INDIANS IN INDIA LIVE IN PERPETUAL FEAR ALL THEIR LIVES & IT IS THE ONLY RIGHT WHICH THEY UNCONDITIONALLY & UNGRUDGINGLY ENJOY WITHOUT ANY BREAK ALL THEIR LIVES.......ALL THE GENERATIONS AFTER 'THE SO CALLED INDEPENDENCE' IN 1947!

We should FEAR Gods....OK DONE! We should FEAR our elders.....OK DONE! We should FEAR our governments.....OK DONE! We should FEAR our institutions.....OK DONE! We should FEAR our local goondas....OK DONE! We should FEAR the tax man.....OK DONE! We should FEAR the policemen....OK DONE! We should FEAR the Chinese...OK DONE! We should FEAR the Pakistanis....OK DONE! We should FEAR the terrorists.....OK DONE! We should FEAR those who pose as the protectors of us - the common men - from the terrorists....OK DONE! We should FEAR the communally 100% men in the neighbourhood....OK DONE! We should FEAR the religious men......OK DONE! We should FEAR the political bigwigs of our locality....OK DONE!

We should FEAR the water mafia, land mafia, forest mafia, mining mafia, drug mafia, religious mafia, Think Tank mafia, political mafia & all the sorts of mafia.....OK DONE! We should FEAR the milkman, news paper man, the bus conductor, the workshop man, the electricity man, the gas man, the supplier in the hotel, the girl next door, the doctor, the beggar in the train, the motorists on the road, the reservation clerk at any counter, the media, the lawyer, the grocery man, the minority, the majority, the fish vendor, the bakery man, the student in the class room, the book store people, the street vendor and others.....OK DONE! YES, IT IS THE WORLD OF EVIL PERPETRATORS WHERE THE COMMON MAN HAS TO LIVE IN THE PERPETUAL FEAR OF THE EVIL PERPETRATORS .........OK DONE!

When the tea or coffee one drinks from the tea or coffee shop is bad one can not complain in the FEAR that the server might take the coffee or tea one is drinking inside & spitting into it in the sly can bring it back adding the sugar of his spittle (When he is in a very bad mood, which all the time he is in!)!

When the local goonda extort money from you continuously you don't have any other option other than 'talking about it angrily inside your family in hush hush voices' as speaking it in public or giving a complaint against the goonda will invite the wrath of the goonda clan which can do ANYTHING FEARSOME anytime!

When the student in the class grossly misbehave with the teacher he or she should not do anything or even utter a harsh word as one FEARFULLY ponder WHAT HE OR SHE WOULD DO NEXT as he or she can either stab the teacher into death or hang oneself to implicate the teacher in it cunningly with the set of existing laws & the ever vigilant & godly intelligent police force!

If a judge does gross injustice to justice one should FEAR to utter even a single word of protest as it would be considered CONTEMPT OF COURT by all the breathing judges & punishment orders will be issued in no time! And, we are told from the day one we should FEAR Law & We –The Common Men!- religiously follow what we have been indoctrinated, all these decades!

When the auto wallah misbehaves grossly & insult one (It is the Common Man who is insulted always, as the others seldom travel in autos!) one should FEAR the dire consequences which will dog eternally if one raises one’s voice against the Auto-Rowdy & retort!

When a politician or an MLA or an MP or a minister does something very much unconstitutional or regularly misuse the public money or cause serious grievances to the Common Man due to his or her actions – or do all these things together! - one should suffer silently in India as one is perfectly trained to think what all FEARFUL & FEARSOME things the MIGHTY HE/SHE can do to harm one (The Common Man, the whistle blower, the questioner etc!) & FEAR!

When the police do something obviously dirty like collecting Daily Hafta –Roaming In Their Tax Payer Money-Filled Government Vehicles! - from the bars, restaurants & from wherever they wish in their POLICEDOM & extort money daily from the street flower sellers & vendors as it is their DEMOCRATICALLY GRANTED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT no word should be spoken of against and one should FEAR WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO THOSE WHO SPEAK OF THESE ATROCITIES OPENLY IN PUBLIC & QUESTION THEM!

When a doctor behaves in such a way that defies the commonest of the common senses & endanger the life of his or her patient due to medical negligence & inefficiency one should better keep mum in the FEAR that he or she can make the already bad situation the worst which can mean even death or coma or something akin to them with complete impunity!

When the minority is fairly criticised for whatever evil things they are doing the critic should FEAR the Evil Perpetrators of the minority who can do anything FEARFUL & FEARSOME against the critic with total impunity & it is the same with the majority as it is THE FEAR FACTOR which rules the so called democratic country India!

When China does the daily ritual of intruding into the Indian Territory in many places, including in Arunachal Pradesh, complicate things up with stapled visas & guarding the Pakistan Annexed Indian Territory in Kashmir Indians (Common Man!) should have UNDILUTED FEAR as THEY CAN DO ANYTHING FEARFUL at the expense of the Common Man Of India, as NO 'WHO IS WHO OF INDIA' IS LIVING NEAR THE ARUNACHAL PRADESH BORDERS OR IN THE PROBLEMATIC AREAS OF KASHMIR & NO 'WHO IS WHO OF INDIA' OR HIS OR HER SON OR DAUGHTER IS IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE ARMY FRONTLINE OR RATHER IN THE ARMY ITSELF (Its great to have FEAR UNLIMITED from THE CHINESE BHAIs OF THE NEHRUVIAN ERA!)!  

When the Brotherly Secular Pakistanis Mutilate the Indian Soldiers' Bodies The Indian (The Common Man!) should tremble in FEAR as it is his sons who are getting the raw deal & inhuman treatment when 'THE INDIAN WHO IS WHO' (The Uncommon Man!) talk elaborately about the decency of conduct from the Indian Soldier, sitting inside their well protected Nuclear Proof Cabins, AS THEY ARE NOT SO INSANE TO HAVE A SON OR A DAUGHTER IN THE INDIAN ARMY!

It is very simple to understand – the logic behind all these FEARFUL things! It is something like SUFFER FEARFULLY ALL ONE’S LIFE & NEVER COMPLAIN AS THE REPERCUSSIONS FROM THE EVIL PERPETRATORS ARE THOUGHT TO BE & MADE OUT TO BE SOMETHING VERY FEARSOME & FEARFUL which the Common Man can do nothing about, ever!

And, what the Evil Perpetrators in all the so called FEARSOME & FEARFUL fields do is INSTILLING FEAR in the minds of the unsuspecting common man from the day one of his existence that he will continue living in constant FEAR! For this purpose the Evil Perpetrators craftily use the text books, history, media, education, info-heads, fine arts, movies etc to give birth to FEAR in the minds of the Common Man! And, with this devious master stroke the Evil Perpetrators make sure that THE INDIAN SOCIETY & THE COMMON MAN IN IT SHOULD TAKE BIRTH, LIVE & DIE IN ETERNAL & PERPETUAL FEAR OF THE WORST POSSIBLE THINGS THE EVIL PERPETRATORS OF THE DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND THE OTHERS WILL CONTINUOUSLY PERPETRATE!
