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!

Growing Up An Irresponsible Generation!

WE ARE GROWING A GREAT GENERATION - AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE ONE! This is what we have been trying hard to make come true in our life time! This does not mean that all the other generations which preceded the existing one were the pure fine examples of responsibility, sensibility & sensitivity! But, what we have been growing for quite some time now is A TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE, MECHANICAL & INSENSITIVE ONE! Here, nothing is what it should be & should have been! Here, nothing is constructive & enduring! Here, nothing is natural, positive & human!

What we try to raise & have been raising, for quite some time now, is an undefined or stupidly defined make shift arrangement of living on Earth! What we trumpet as the marvels of OUR NEWLY INVENTED SYSTEM OF LIVING IS ALL BUT A SYSTEMATIC, REVERBARATING, NATURAL, HUMAN LIFE STYLE/SYSTEM! The anarchical existence we have been for sometime now have been modified so diligently that, now for the coming generation, (or should we call them degeneration?!) there is no way that they escape their destiny of being AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE, MECHANICAL & INSENSITIVE GENERATION WHICH IS THERE TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARILY IMPULSIVE LIFE!

Life has always been beyond the grasp of the common man (which is the 99.999999999% of all human race!) all these ages! A lot of people tried to define it all these ages & some got it correct, at the least for a particular time period! An all enveloping grasp was never possible; that doesn't mean that it is not possible! But, one common factor binds all these ages with the exception of the presently growing generation - that is the way they lived their lives! What they all did was trying to live on this beautiful Earth in such a way that they stayed together & positively improve themselves & by that way improve the entire human race, gradually, systematically & by humanly positive ways! Theirs was a gradual, progressive & systematic method of development which made the human beings reach where they are today! They stayed together as they would never go apart in the entire life, as they stuck together for the first time ever to form the oldest of the human civilisations & cultures!

Now, in India, which is one of the oldest of the human civilisations, which has a near 7000 year history to its credit, is doing something which can, if properly maintained & grown, even uproot the social & cultural systems we have been following all these millennia! What we in India have been PRACTICING WITH PASSION FOR SOMETIME NOW has the power to even de-humanize the entire civilisation, where the first baby cry of the civilisation echoed! For sometime now, we have forgotten the great things we had & we have being an Indian & Bharatiya! We foolishly tried to learn WHAT WAS NOT OURS AS FASHION & STYLE and tried to implement them, forgetful of the outcome & the impact on the generations to come! We started to live according to the laws of Neptune & Pluto on our planet Earth! We forgot what we were & are and what we have to be!

Thinking, education, life-style, food, clothing & every department of an Indian's life is DAMAGINGLY MODIFIED BY THE NEW AGE EXISTANCE! What we do these days COMPLETELY REFLECT WHAT OTHERS DO SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, SOME THOUSANDS OF KILOMETRES AWAY FROM WHERE WE EXIST – MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY! What we never ask is WHY WE SELECTED THIS SELECTED GROUP OF PEOPLE/COUNTRIES OR THEIR METHODS OF LIFE TO FOLLOW, LEAVING BEHIND FOREVER OTHER COUNTRIES & THEIR STYLES & SYSTEMS OF LIFE?! AND, WE FORGET/FORGOT BASICALLY TO ASK WHAT WAS/IS THERE IN OUR INDIAN CULTURE & CIVILISATION THAT BAD THAT WE ALTOGETHER WISHED/WISH TO HAVE & HAD A SEA CHANGE IN OUR LIFE?!

Families have been the back bone of all the civilisations and it is through them the civilisations & cultures grew all over the world. In India we had a very strong, dependable & deep rooted family system which we evolved taking thousands of years! Whatever development we had & have as human beings of India is due to this family system & the culture & civilisation it developed with it! Now, for sometime now, as tail-wagging followers of some countries, which don't even have a civilisation that is a couple of millennia old, we the Indians have almost succeeded in the complete mitigation of what we have created taking almost long 7000 years; indeed that can be termed a marvellous work - uprooting a 7000 year old civilisation with a minimum time span of almost 64 years (Count the years after our independence in 1947 from the so called colonial powers!) flat!

NOW, WE HIGHLIGHT THE FAMILY BREAKERS AS OUR CULT & POPULAR HEROES! We discuss & write volumes about how he or she BROKE THE FAMILY of him or her in this & that way; we discuss elaborately HOW HAPPY WOULD BE HE OR SHE WHO BROKE THE FAMILY of he or she! We dream & talk "How Beautiful The Life Will Be For The Woman Who Stole The Husband Of Another Woman, Who Had 2 Kids With Him!" and write elaborate columns on the place where these NEWLY GOING TO WED are going to spend their GOING TO COME HONEYMOON! We put the photographs of these FAMILY BREAKERS IN BIG SIZE IN OUR SLEAZE NEWS PAPERS & WONDER HOW STICKY THEY ARE TO EACH OTHER! We ask their advice & opinion on FAMILY BREAKING on TV, Newspaper, Websites etc & wonder how wonderfully they did it! We make statues, churches & temples for these FAMILY BREAKERS & adorn our closets with their full size photographs that the growing generation learn from them! WE, INDIANS, CAN BE VERY PROUD OF OURSELVES AS WE HAVE DEVELOPED A UNIQUE FAMILY BREAKING CULTURE & CIVILISATION in very short time span, following someone doggedly who never had a family history which is older than a millennium!

Now, as it has been made to be, THIS IS THE AGE OF THE KIDS! Whatever they wish they are given the very moment they wish for; whatever thing they show some sort of an interest in is SHOWERED UPON THEM DAY & NIGHT that they INDULGE COMPLETELY IN THEIR LIKES & WISHES! It is a LIFE OF COMPLETE INDULGENCE the kids of India live! It is his age - THE IRRESPONSIBLE KID'S AGE (And, of course, the irresponsible & senseless parents' age!)! IN INDIA KIDS ARE SPOILED BY THE AGE OF THE KIDS & THE ARDENT SUPPORTERS OF THE KIDS' AGE - PARENTS! The kids in India grow up protected from all sides, like the broiler chicken caged to be transported from one place to the other, never having an idea about THE REAL LIFE....THE DIFFICULTIES, PROBLEMS, PRESSURE, SADNESS, TENSION, RIGHT, WRONG, MISTAKE, SELF & A MILLION OTHER THINGS RELATED TO A HUMAN BEING BORN! They grow up without any restrictions imposed upon them & getting whatever they wish to have in their life; growing up, education system -which is changed into some sort of a non-existent entity with no power to mould a future citizen!- life style, thinking & all bent, broken & transformed to suit an over indulgent kid! And, the result is AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER- REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE CITIZEN WHEN ONE GROWS UP, WHO ALWAYS FAILS IN THE TRIALS OF LIFE, WHERE EVERYONE IS ON HIS OWN & NO PARENT OR GOVERNMENT CAN BE OF ANY USE!

Now, in India, we have developed a unique Indian system where one can do whatever one likes & go scot free as long as one wishes, provided you have men at the proper places! This one is an indigenously built one of which every Indian can be proud of! Here the blame can always be put on any one else's shoulder & even a mahatma can be made to appear a hard core criminal, in seconds! Making a disaster happen & then saying sorry is our present day hobby; we can spend, without our conscious being hurt, any number of days to make a disaster happen or else we can wait for them as the opportunity to make a disaster happen is any second of a day! Whenever there happens a disaster nobody is REALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE & BROUGHT TO THE BOOK AND ONLY EYE WASH THINGS HAPPEN! The very next second after the disaster one can expect another more grievous one, without fail! If something severely disastrous happens, somebody will say something & go behind the curtain; and after some time someone else will come to the fore to utter something & vanish; then will come another one accusing the first two & will say something totally different & vanish......! By the time these regularly appearing different people stop saying something on the disaster it will be any number of decades.....! That is the style & responsibility we have developed making maximum use of the 64 years we got after OUR SO-CALLED INDEPENDENCE FROM A VERY SHORT TIME PERIOD OF 200-300 YEARS SLAVERY, IN OUR HISTORY OF 7000 YEARS!

And hence, we are building, giving all that we have, AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE GENERATION (OR GENERATIONS) that we can feel satisfied, as we dutifully did whatever stupid, insensible & uncultured - TO OUR 7000 YEAR OLD CULTURE OF BHARATH! - things we could have done & move/d forward without ever imagining the great & irreparable damage we have done to one of the oldest of the civilisations & of course the present & future generations! Let us celebrate the destruction we have caused to our great culture & the coming generation/s! YES, IT IS CELEBRATION TIME.......AS IT IS THE ALMOST TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF OUR GREAT CULTURE & CIVILISATION THAT IS CELEBRATED.......LET US DANCE & REJOICE, AS WE CAN BOAST THAT WE FATHERED AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE , EXTREMELY SELF INDULGENT & INSENSITIVE GENERATION!
