The Nth Phenom

The conundrum never ceases to create the sensation. The detention of the Khans, Ishrath encounter, the racket called the swine flu, the Quad-e-Azam factor, the Chinese incursions, the hyped hype of Force India and Fisichella along with the incessant Arushi, 26/11 probe have spiced up the media. Apparently the Indian media needs more holes in the donut and want the people to see the holes as such and not the dough.
Justice delayed is justice denied. The futile efforts of the Indian government are very much reflected in their efforts to divert the people and the media away from the 26/11 probes. The government’s lack of conviction in bringing justice to the people of Mumbai by bringing Pakistan to its knees is evident from its blame game along with the Pakistani counterparts. The blame game played by these the two countries is more of a scripted act enacted very poorly by at least the Indian part.

The turmoil within the Lotus party just reminds me of the role played by rubles in dethroning and defacing Morarji Desai in the 70s and 80s. The MPs were paid in rubles, a number of media agencies and influential people were in the payroll too. The rubles elevated the ‘I’ and helped it to maintain the Nehru legacy. Mr.Desai was the scapegoat then. Looks like it is either USD or liras for Advani and co. Well, the lira is now officially Euro but it still comes from where it has to. The BJP are the Indian Democrats minus Obama. The delay and stupid games played with the low profile American mediation in the 26/11 justice cover up is slowly losing its momentum. As always, this is going to die out as every other tragedy in the past has always. Who should be blamed for this? The poor memory of the self centered egoist who forget the past or the greed of the profit minded officials and corrupt politicians?

It is the whole of India instead of just North East.

I have always wondered why the evolution has been biased for the Chinese: their nose and eyes. Well, the answer becomes obvious now; the evolution is not to be blamed for these anomalies. Their nose seems hidden because it is always on the other side of McMahon line doing stuff that people on the other side don’t like. The eyes are probably in Tibet and Xin Jiang! The recent red painting in Ladakh is not something new. But the description and evidence from the Indian side looks very bleak.
With neighbors who are very cordial and warm as in the case of India, there is a lot to concentrate on foreign affairs. But the Indian politicians: the governing group and the oppositions, the media are all too busy with many things much more important: Toppling each other, wooing the MINORITY, safekeeping the people’s tax in Swiss bank, cleaning up their mess. The problems in our hands are much more than what we imagine.

Apparently, the Swiss partiality has been meted out too with details of its account holders catered to US on its request while India is shown the carrot.
Well, from Gujrat came the two hurricanes: one peeled the British oppression while the other feared the Hindu oppression. While there is no one called as very good politician, the question is who is better and it is always relative to the people. In the bigger picture, it always boils down to what colors and who paints rather than who all contributed. Jinnah fought for the freedom of his people. In reference to the previous blog post, demonization of Jinnah and deification of Gandhi was a result of the reasons mentioned in the previous post: Dichotomy. History clearly speaks that Jinnah was not the one who wanted a separate nation because of obvious reasons but the weakness was with Gandhi’s favoritism to Nehru. Well, good luck on us that Patel did not demand a separate nation due to the same reasons that Jinnah was forced to demand. India would still be there if there was no Gandhi but no Pakistan if there was no Jinnah. But Jinnah was always portrayed in the dark and as a villain even in the movie Gandhi.
My respects to Jinnah: He was a self-made man. Gandhi, Nehru and all others were born rich families to wealthy fathers and lived a comfortable life. Though Jinnah was born to a wealthy merchant, yet he was so poor that he strived hard to create a position for him and champion a cause.
Well, I do not understand the row over Jaswant singh‘s book. These were his views on Jinnah and the only reason might be because he equated Jinnah to Gandhi.
It’s high time; a common realizes the essence of the analysis and stop getting drowned in the useless ramblings of the opportunistic politicians and hype seeking media.
India is developing; yes the media racket is now followed by medical rackets. The Swine flu scare is a real troublesome affair. The very blowing up of the issue out of proportions makes it glaringly evident. There is shortage of masks!!!
Swaminathan Aiyar examines some numbers and finds:
[In India] 1.37 million people die annually of respiratory diseases and infections, 7,20,000 of diarrhea, and 5,40,000 of tuberculosis. These are staggering numbers. They imply that on an average day, 3,753 people die of respiratory diseases and infections, 1,973 of diarrhea, and 1,479 of tuberculosis.
The 20 swine flu deaths are not trivial but not so huge compared to what these staggering numbers are.

The media and medicine rackets have blown it out of proportions.

Amidst all these, the rise of phenom down in the south is being watched very closely. The Failure of Ganesan, the deliberation of Shivaji Rao Gaekwad and the lack of impression of Vijayraj Azhagarsami Naidu have all led to a vacuum of Pseudo MGR space with every one trying to fill up the space with appellations and captioning failing to catch up with the reality. The phenom is now Vijay. At 35, politics is a daring venture worthy of applause. Let us wait to see if the phenom stays to cause a change or just volatilizes.
To end the post on a good note: Feel good:
