The Quiet Revolutionary

Rahul gandhi did nothing for a common man since in politics. he never understand the problems of general public.

This is just a puff-piece by a Congress sycophant. Nehru / Gandhi family has controlled India for 50 years. Except for a handful, most people in India are becoming poorer by the day. Clean water supply, health, literacy and malnutrition are problems that are still not addressed adequately despite the promises that every generation of this family keeps making. Corruption is endemic and the political dynasties which are replicated in every corner of the country have become the new caste system in India. 500 families and their children rule India now.

Sudip Mazumdar???s statement ???During Rahul's period abroad, the BJP, taking advantage of the rudderless Congress, had captured power with a coalition of a few other sectarian parties...??? smacks of arrogance. The present government does not have a majority either. They have 206 seats on their own and they have cobbled together the remaining 66 seats to form a coalition government and ???captured??? power. (Vajpayee was a good man ??? he never captured power. In fact when the demands of the coalition became untenable, he dumped them and went back to the people and won a mandate).

(When Indira Gandhi was PM one of the inane slogans was ???India is Indira and Indira is India and that India can do without an opposition???. Sudip, with this stupid article about Rahul is heading right along the same lines).

Every time a new generation of Gandhi comes of age, this kind of journalistic puffery becomes the norm with Indian journalists.

I admire Mr Gandhi significantly, but for no apparent reason. If I could, I would advise him to rise above party politics, like his Great Grandfather Mr Nehru. The only way the nation will be united, is if parliament is united. Then there will be no vested interests working in cross purposes with each other. If India is to get rid of differences of caste and religion, then let all castes and religions be treated equally. Let not the poor Dalit be favored over a poor Brahmin. After all, poverty is a situation which does not differentiate between castes. The government had been loosing credibility because only the poor from certain castes were reaping the benefits, while others were not. A poor Brahmin, is as academically compromised, as a poor Dalit. All who are poor suffer equally. Teaching is not a profession, nor a vocation. The teacher is responsible for the wellbeing of his academic wards.

What an awful, awful piece. Much as I like Rahul Gandhi and what he is doing within the Indian National Congress, this article reads entirely like an embarassing puff-piece that you would find in some party newsletter. Is the auther angling for a place in the Congress Youth Wing? Because he certainly writes like it. With some objectivity and investigative reporting, this could have made such an interesting and informative reading for international readers. Alas, it wasn't to be.
