Inner Demons of Republic Post GE2014

Pollsters have started early. The election commission has still not made any announcements regards General Election 2014. Some agencies also realize that much water will flow between now and the Polling day. Some early birds however have taken a plunge. Intresting facts seem to emerge from the excerises being Telecast and reported in Newspapers.
It is a forgone conclusion now that NDA led by BJP will be the largest alliance post polls. It will need a miracle of sorts for UPA to even achieve 200 Lok Sabha seats in 2014.It will need another miracle for NDA to forge alliance knowing it’s penchant for agonising allies in recent past.

Pundits ,pupils and economists will make us believe that the biggest challenge the new Government will face is financial in nature.None can deny the facts that populist policies and rheotric to it in buildup to election will be a hurdle for the new government. Harsh economical decisions need some consenseus among allies and it’s not easy as we have experienced. The would be Policy makers are watching outward for investment in Infrastructure ,Power and Manufacturing.
The bigger Demons  however lie inside.It is more likely that the main party of the new alliance in power will not have any representation of North East. The effort to understand this neglected reigon has been less and few by any Republic standards.Assam,Manipur and Nagaland are simmering if not boiling.Back channel negotition by Delhi have created no goodwill in the recent past. One does not even see a mention of reconcilation by the BJP in these regards. Ethnic conflict in Karbi Anglong, Kokrajhar has spread to some what  peaceful districts of GopalPara. At least four different ethnic groups are demanding statehood in Assam namely BodoLand,Dima-Hasao,Karbi Anglong and Kamatapur. BJP in some parts of Assam is viewed as a party supporting one ethnic community . Manipur has three ethnic divides with at least two having militant outfits.Here too the BJP is conceptualised  as patriachal to one section. The spill over of Assam and Manipur and demand of Greater Nagaland will be another out of horizon ask for the BJP and it’s allies. Gorkhaland  is another area of concern and utterances of Mr.Jaswant Singh  has not turned it into bed of roses for BJP if itseeks TMC as an alliance partner.

The most violent recent strikes by the Naxals has been in state controlled by BJP. The hot bed of Naxals are in areas of abundant matural resources which the BJP seems to be harping on as one of the keys of development. It does not need knowledge of social sceintist to explain that the issue regards alienation in these areas . BJP again is seen as a part of the opressive syatem.
 Discussion on Article 370  or it’s aboilition , it’s stand on AFSAPA being percieved as antagonist rather than a reconciler can  raise another fire ball .

Another day on preceived foreign policy of BJP

The 7 Crucial States

Pollsters have started early. The election commission has still not made any announcements regards General Election 2014. Some agencies also realize that much water will flow between now and the Polling day. Some early birds however have taken a plunge. Interesting facts seem to emerge from the exercises being Telecast and reported in Newspapers.

It is a forgone conclusion now that NDA led by BJP will be the largest alliance post polls. It will need a miracle of sorts for UPA to even achieve 200 Lok Sabha seats in 2014. Most Congressmen realize the writing on the wall and the side effects are visible. Not nominating Rahul Gandhi as Prime Ministerial candidate ,support to the intrepid and incorrigible AAP in Delhi assembly are ample manifestations of the realization. The INC seems to have gone in rear guard mode of restricting further damage. The Congress seems nearly apologetic on all issues from Price Rise to Corruption .The Congress think tank tries to make the people believe that an introspection of sorts has been completed and the Party is ready to implement.Cynics however cite the numerous “Manthans and Chintans” leading to nowhere in recent past.


The NDA on it’s part seems to be in no mood to consolidate. 272+ notwithstanding even hardcore RSS realizes the fact that majority in Lok Sabha for NDA in present form is a mirage leave aside  for BJP alone. Another miracle though of lesser magnitude will be needed if the magic figure is to be attained by NDA. A bigger hurdle is the the antagonist approach and image of it’s Prime Ministerial candidate.The tag of non-secular on BJP is another issue which will time and again become a hurdle .

 Reports suggest that state by state analysis is being done by BJP on a fortnightly basis. 

The Samajwadi Party  under the leadership of Mr.Mulayam Singh Yadav is in a hurry to hand the UP platter by virtue of it’s governance. For some reasons the BSP is not biting the bait.It suits BJP the most.  Considering the importance of Uttar Pradesh ,the leader in charge Mr.Amit Shah has been given immense leverage and responsibility.It is another matter now that his style of functioning is being detested by state party leaders.

Bihar will be another big test for BJP. The infighting among it’s state leaders has become butt of jokes in political circles in Bihar.. Back channel talks between RJD and JDU had been reported but any alliance is a far fetched conclusion.

In Andhra Pradesh the situation is too fluid for BJP think tank to call.Both YSR Congress and TDP could be allies. It certainly will be a post poll alliance as BJP will never commit the folly of going with the lesser achiever. Mr.Rao of TRS can easily be cajoled to join NDA is known to BJP. It’s going alone can certainly mis fire in Assam as the votes will be divided in between BJP and AGP. However AGP can only make a dent if it gets it’s house together. Karnartaka will again be a tough nut to crack for BJP even with Yeddy back .The party seems to have lost a bit of credibility in the state.With strong entry of AAP in Delhi and Haryana both Congress and BJP have lost grounds.

These seven states will decide how BJP is able to cope up with realities of Power and Power sharing. Much will also depend on Mr.Narendra Modi speech writers who seem to be in a hurry. BJP media cell also needs to be subtle as their over the board campaigns seem to back fire.

Inner Demons 2014

One can tell easily when a wave precedes elections , Pundits contemplate too much in lack of a wave. However no one reads even the under currents and winds better than the poltical class. Even politicians with little or no mass following know the direction of flow as to their vicinity with the political leaders with some base.

The Congress knows well the writing on wall as do the people. So called  party Idealouges  and  TV channel favorites like Mani Shankar Aiyer, Shakeel Ahmad  are talking “mauvias avenir” and at times even advocating a five year Banwas.The Congress realising the upcoming upheaval has started taking rear guard actions like appointment of Sachin Pilot as Rajasthan Congress President. These actions are certainly with a view to stem the rot but the leadership also realises that such appointments will give results only in the long run and not in near future. It is now in a process of controlling the inner demons.

Congress leaders  shiver and sweats are in abundance with the thought of BJP gaining Powers at Delhi. The option of supporting AAP furitively is natural way out for Congress post realisation and estimation.

Cartoonists had a field day with the coercion support  by Congress to AAP in Delhi . The new party of course apologetically took the bait.  However the scenario remains fluid with AAP fighting it’s inner demons more than the BJP. AAP can be faulted of living in state of inconguity  as Peoples Movement believe in quantitative approach  ,rather than the tiring qualitative approach. The chaos ,ruckus  and hog of limelight worked wonders for AAP initally but Governance and adminstartion are never at ease with cacophony. 

Indian political parties espcially the novice know how to fetter away the goodwill in a fizzle. The melodarma of some rabble rousing members can reverse the spiral rise into spiral slide. Only few in BJP realize that inner demons of AAP is more threanting to the new born baby than the autoimmune injections of catigation.

Patience has never been a virtue with BJP and it’s supportes. Even the old guard opted for a 13 day government rather than have the gifted quality of Patience.The Modi army is devoid of this quality more . 272 + campagain is another demonstration of the virtue or lack of it. Some sections of BJP should realise that its inner demons can do more damage to it’s mission than AAP. It’s inability to take along allies like Shiv Sena ,Assam Gana Parishad is more crucial to it’s schemes than castigating a near self destructive AAP.


So much for the inner Demons..

No Kudos To ISRO





courtsy-ISRO



Not much is being harped upon success of GSLV-D5 by ISRO and rightly so.It is a step forward 

after many steps back. It is not still commercially viable i.e. no agency or country will 

put it's money on it's satellite launch by GSLV.  Minimum of three more successful 

GSLV launches can only put ISRO as a front runner.


             A cryogenic rocket engine is an engine  that uses cryogenic fuel  , that is, its 

fuel or oxidizer (or both) are gases liquefied and stored at very low temperatures

to cool the propellants down to sub zero temperatures , converting them to liqiud 

form.
The cryogenic rocket engine provides more thrust than conventional liquid rocket  engines but the fuel and oxidizer needs to be super cooled in order to keep them in  a liquid state.
There is also a difference between the PSLV and GSLV in terms of the rocket itself. The PSLV has 4 stages that alternate between solid and liquid fuels while the GSLV has three stages with the only the first stage having solid fuel.


Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (abbreviated as GSLV)

launch its satellites indigenously without dependence on foreign aid. GSLV has 

attempted eight launches to date, since its first launch in 2001 . Three launches have 

been successful, four have failed, and one was a partial failure, placing the satellite 

into an unplanned, but recoverable, orbit. The most recent flight, GSLV-D5 was 

launched successfully on 5 January 2014 during its second attempt.

Two launches in 2010 both failed; the first, in April, was the first flight of the GSLV 

Mk.II, with an Indian-developed third stage engine replacing the Russian engine used 

on earlier flights. The third stage failed to ignite. The next launch, in December, used 

the Russian engine, however the vehicle went out of control during first stage flight 

and was destroyed by range safety.

Problems with the connectors had occurred before – including one snapping in 

Russian built interstage adaptor  during the launch of INSAT-4CR which was 

responsible for the underperformance of that launch by  GSLV-F04. .

The  probable success rate of GSLV is put to be 0.29 (29%) by NASA.

Melodrame De AAP



                A month go people on the streets were more cynical about the emergence of “AAP” than the media.How the thinking changes can be gauged  easily today. The prodigal is being castigated in media on basis of square feet reqired for dwellings and use of official vehicle or vehicle if any. Popular opinion is inherently hysteria prone. One judged harshly now can seek consolation & one on a popular-opinion high should be careful. The short time of it’s honeymoon with media though has surprised many.

People are wise enough to realize that AAP cannot reduce electric bills, provide clean water to all and bring Lokpal at hat drop. They have taken much worse acts on Manifestos in stride. Judgments from” people will be based only on the manner of accessibility, transparency and ability to carry  along after EUPHORIA .The shrwed leadership core of AAP recognizes this.

The leadership also recognizes that  the problem lies within, of the inner demons. Consider the new found intoxicant’s effect on the cadres. “Power certainly degrades thinking, vision if not ruin it.” The effects showed up on allotment of Ministeral berths ,victory processions and will raise it’s ugly head again. One has to bear in mind that cleansing will continue.

The biggest challenge also stems from the euphoria created. ChandraGupta Maurya sans Chankya tried many a things at a go.  The essence of first sermon was based on principle of consolidation and concentration (not losing the focus). AAP seems to do encore .How the idealouge of AAP has agreed on fighting more than 200 seats surprises even their own supporters. Though scorn on conventions have been AAP’s biggest asset so far but this is taking too much too far.

Limiting itself to a couple of state assembly elections and Lok Sabha seats in only those pockets or Urban areas may be a better strategy. One can not forget that the old guards of present system are still lurching and surging. These  old guards have greater chance to fail further and loose credibility if left to themselves. Better option can be to give these old hands of present order to fall deeper into pits and bid for time.

Fruits of Forbiddance

Finally AAP is saddled with power in Delhi. It is another matter that how much of the reins is in its own  hands. Debates  will continue on usage of square feet ,use of official vehicles, reasons of indisposition of  CMs. Ironically AAP can not be accused of not fuelling these debates. Media as always is fanatic on lapping new ideas and experiments and of course overkills. The  focus upon success of the experiment is lost in the din in this era de comminque.

Consider the stakes, the hopes  placed by people on an experiment.  The biggest hope of people who feel disenchanted in a system is power sharing. Can one deny the fact that nepotism, lack of inner democracy, use of muscle and money power has eroded the credibility of political parties. It has resulted an army of cynics on every sphere of life. The  people seem to get  a scent of participatory democracy and can one have the courage or morality to deny this.

One must be prepared for the strike by old gaurd. It has it’s fangs everywhere ,even in our so called and self righteous media. Means and methods of distractions has started.

Lord forbid ,if the experiment fails . The swarming army of cynics will rise. The concept of innovation and experiment will take a back seat. The biggest sufferer  of this will be the youth and exodus of talent will be spiral. The old guard political system will treat the citizens in much less dignified way than ever in Independent India.


Many of the people movement groups did not  wish this experiment to occur. Some brave hearts got over the fear of failure. Unknowingly they also hijacked the credibility of People Movement groups as a whole. If these brave hearts succeed the usher of new dawn is on horizon ,if they fail the Gennext loses decades...

MMS--Baki Bakwas







Miles of columns and days of TV debate has been put to use on dissection,analysis of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's Press conference since yesterday.Nearly all of it has been focused around failures and missed opportunities.He has been ridiculed by Media Kangaroo courts. The incumbent Prime Minister has become butt of jokes in social media.Even couplets of Bahadur Shah regards "do gaz Zameen" has been hinted by Tweeps. Political obituaries have been published.

The Press Conference of the Prime Minister devoid of humor was badly scripted too. Ducks like me realize that in such press conferences ,the  questionnaires are sometimes precooked and leaked to some media persons with a view to encourage them to focus on predetermined issues.With all due respect to PM's media cell ,preempting of questions regards Mr.Modi was misplaced or not given a thought. of course Dr.Singh did not make things easy for him by blowing the wolf whistle on "Disaster in offing".

Some facts need to be seen in the context of his desire not to be UPA's candidate for Prime Minister in 2014. People who castigate him deliberately fail to remember that he was the force behind liberalization.During the severe economic crisis in 1991,the man carried out several structural reforms that took Indian economy to a new path. The path breaking over ,subsequent Governments did toe the line for next some years. Leaders became champions and bloated in glory and the prime mover was pushed in back room of Politics.

How many office bearers in Indain democracy can be candid enough to admit their failures. Corruption,price rise and inability to generate employment have been cited as people's bete noire as Dr.Singh's performance is judged .The times we live in has been disregarded in the cacophony.One must realize Corruption in public offices is a reflection of society and more to curb it has been done in last some years than since independence. The rot of corruption and nepotism which flows in our blood has become too thick .In this age when revolution die ,there is no quick cure. Consider the political compulsions of Dr.Singh and he does not come out that bad.However by his own liking and standards ,he has failed on this account.

 One should realize that India is not an isolated economy and one also tends to forget that Dr.Singh had also a finance minister known for his left leanings for nearly three years. The shield of near Depression of 2006-2008 was made possible only by PM's acumen. One must not forget that some earlier Finance ministers nearly gave it away in lesser conditions.

The European depression was felt more in India but Can Liberalization leave it's fangs behind.The 2G or second generation of reforms when ushered in more developed countries brings more heart breaks and disenchantment. Countries facing challenges of this irreversible process of Globalization are facing even civil strife a ka Ukraine,Thailand.It's too credit of ManMohan Singh that it looks somewhat seamless to us.

Media managers of INC and PMO seem to either overlook these facts or are not savvy enough to harp on it.  



शिकवा किससे करें , फरमान ऐ मुरकबा का

मय्यत ख्वाइसो  की  औ अरमान मुजतबा सा..

History is a faulty art , seldom states the mental age we live in. Akbar is praised more than Sher Shah

Duck Curry Delhi Ishtyle






Much hype and Hoopla on AAP’s success in Delhi assembly elections have been created. The vibrancy rubbed on nearly one and all. People like us who chase the new horizon can be forgiven for thought of new dawn.  One on street hardly expected AAP to fulfill its promises in Manifesto but expected AAP to a give a try at transparent governance and give an honest try.  The hopes were raised as AAP managed their funds and donation during the election.
In the week that followed BJP did not indulge in horse trading though some attempts by BJP were reported. BJP’s CM nominee   Dr.HarshVardhan immediately took notice and asked other party functionaries to stop the rot.
The Congress always suffering from Icon worship was even quicker. It hurried into backroom classes and presentations with Rahul Gandhi as anchor. Jairam commented on suggestion by some thousands has been taken and the 2014 draft manifesto will be out in January.
Both Parties seem to be in a hurry to introduce the Lok Pal bill, not on agenda of winter session of the Rajya Sabha, citing Anna Hazare. Even ducks like me know why this fire fight from a” Cirane” . 
Can we “Idol and Hero worshipers” Indian accuse Media India of creating monsters. This intelligentsia creates monsters, sings for them, eats out of their plates and then runs helter sh
elter when the Monster grows on them. Media India is also prone to shrieking like politicians today. Examples galore Anna, the earlier Prodigal but now abandoned child of congress.
The same media continued fabricated another mirage. Personality worship, long questions and expecting mono syllable answers, interruption and airing self sense of knowledge are cardinal sins of journalism, which all TV channels anchors indulge in. Irony is the coverage, “Cobra Post expose on Members of Parliament “got. It seems that” the ideas which the new political order pledges to stand for” were lost in the din of a rabble rousing “well of House”.

AAP seems to be learning the tricks fast. In rustic dark waters , people will tell that Indian system runs of THEL(put the ball in other’s court),TEL(sycophancy), KHEL(melodrama),MEL or BEMEL( unwilling or forced alliance).
Let us realize that we have placed many hopes in a single basket. Cynicism led by both Congress and BJP has started. The old guard is sharpening their knives. Traps are being set. “Inability to Fulfill Manifesto, going back from pre poll stand of nothing given, nothing taken” are reasons being cited for shrieking responsibility.


 Arvind , Yogendra Yadav  and party have been smart. AAP has pre empted many moves and stifled many others.
However the problem lies within, of the inner demons. Consider the new found intoxicant’s effect on the cadres. “Power certainly degrades thinking, vision.”People like Biwa’s, Ilmi, and Kolli have reestablished the fact.
 People are wise enough to realize that AAP cannot reduce electric bills, bring Lokpal at hat drop. They have taken much worse acts on Manifestos. Judgments from” Batakhs” will be based only on the manner of accessibility, transparency and ability to carry us along after EUPHORIA

Suits AAP and My nazm

Blame it on Thyself;INC







Political anlyst are ready with reasons of failure of Congress to do well in the “semi-finale”. Much will written about failures of Congress leadership to react early.Certainely the INC has been at most reactive and even those reactions have been knee-jerk.

Why no second line of leadership  was developed in Delhi. The long incumbancy factor certainly takes a tool. If this was not thought of earlier, it speaks of the mindset of political think tank  of the party . after 2008 development  of a young leader  was necessary with power trandefer in mid 2011. It was thought of in MP but the reginal staraps delyed it.The advent of youth leader was too late. In Chattisgarh pacifying of Jogi was too late. After the death of  Patel and Karma,Jogi was the only chioce left.The congress think tank thought otherwise. Recent polls have shown that alternates happen in Rajasthan so why not try with a younger face.

The bigger problem however lies underneath.The political think tank is blank.The leaders who work as strategist are no match for Fotedars,Bhagats or Dhawans. The vaccum is more obivious on TV debates.With due respect to these poltical think tank leaders, they are only reactionaries.The political intrigues don’t require much vision and self rightoues.Much of the Congress think tank overrate themselves as visionarys or anlysts.Need of the the hour is pre empting political scenarios and have plans ready. The Congress has itself to blame.Ostrich Syndrome,Red Tapism,vaccum of political analysis,preparedness,inability to infuse youth and the most important ability to remove elitism of thought.


BJP on the other hand can be accused of thinking the same at National level.The benefit it has is mass based regional leaders ,who have creted a niche for themslves.The four chief mainisters that it has today excluding Modi are capable enough in political manovures.The harping by BJP of “Modi’ factor is hallonification at best.

Duck Watchers







Modern Social scientists define Democracy  as a mode of powersharing.

The earlier defintion “of ,by and for the people”  seems to be lost in hard realties ,democracies across the world face today.Truly the order of today is powersharing.The four pillars unbashedly share it.The legislature does it in the name of representation.The Excutive and Media do it in name of “for the people” and “building opinion”. Judicairy ofcourse harps on interpetation of laws for the mass.
Core of modern democracy ,lies in checks and balances.One wing keeping a watch on the other.Conflicts arise when power sharing equlibriam is questioned or new situations develop.The latter  arise  due to liberalisation,technology and developments not well difned in Constitutions. When the conflicts arise  ,Judiciary acts as interpertor of the Constitution.It is important to note that most of the conflicts have power sharing as core.

It has never been a natural  human quality to share what one holds.The same applies here too.These conflicts become acute if the parties involved is one of the four pillars. Established norms when challenged have never easy solutions espcially when the power is infested with one of the parties involved.
The situation become complex when it involves two or more pillars of democracy.Recent past has shown that in many cases , however uncomfortable the status quo prevails. The complexity of the conflict becomes more acute if some power is to be shredded to lower level in hiearchy of democratic pyramid.

A new trend has started.Smaller democracies  have just started using public voting as a method of resolving.However the fragmentation of society in these small countries is toatlly based upon ethencity,cultural ,linguastic or religion and not on economic lines.

 The four pillars Indian democracy are still not mature enough to read this vibrant signal emnating out of Globalisation and liberalisation.Corruption, undue previliges  enjoyed , incompetency  in these four estates  will not  die out on their own. There need to be a new factor and that is vibrant,demading,ethical but innovative.The last quality needed to remove cynism from masses.The most important factor should be ofcourse being from within the system.It is an established fact now that system can be improved better by remaining a part of system rather and pushing the limits than being an outsider and trying to pull.

The rising of this Fifth estate has started  nearly everywhere across the world where class divide cuts across ethnic,religious and lingo lines. Arab ,South America ,Eastern Europe are examples.India has seen it’s own share , Nirbhya,Anna e.t.c, even the large following of BABAs actually demonstrates that this fifth estate wants to assert.

Arvind Kejriwal realized the factors and took a bold step in forming a political party. AAP’s leaders have been smart enough to realize and have experimented  well.”बतख ” like all  will watch closely on their “holier than thou” and ‘whiter than cow” syndrome…
The aftermath will follow…
Of course to keep  out violence and vandalism  will be the biggest challenge.

Tejpals 10 years ago






Tarun Tejpal has been toast or untoast of Media for the last ten days.
How and when he reaches Airport,crime branch in Goa have been debated.What he converses with his brother,daughter and niece has been subject to debates.
I know my media friends will castigate me for telling an observer’s view.
The crust of the matter is too much has been penned sin on the unfortunate man and incident.Whatever media attention left was grabbed by Jollys,Sibbals,Bangus and other political party spokerspersons.The CCTV footage has fortunately been not telecast.Newspapers are fiiled with stories of bungling in company shares and connection with Ponty Chaddah.

Unfortunately the question of Women grievance commitees in case of sexual harrasment has taken backseat.Even in as early as   2004 when high profile case of a Public Sector company’s CMD was arrested  the committee was formed and then cover up was done.Nearly ten years from then it is the same old mistake.It happens in an organization where all employees are well educated,the girls in the office are well aware of rules and regulations.

Ironically one of the heads of the organization is a well known Journalist whose grip on current events is well respected.It seems that Ms.Choudhary tries to hush up things.The Girl is rightly admant ,the Editor forms a committee still tries to cajole the girl.

The workplace harrasement is a form of denying a fundamental right to a woman.Why does not National Commission on Women,Delhi Police,Goa Police,Ministry of Women take a stand.
These statuary bodies ,names of members and rights of women employees should be displayed in premises of organization is humble appeal of

As Sulekha.com  reported
Nalco hurriedly conducted an internal probe -- and predictably gave a clean chit to Venkataramana.But the government took serious note of the development and constituted a committee — as prescribed by the Supreme Court in cases of sexual harassment — to probe the incident.


JS Vema report presnted in 2013
On the point of the establishments to which the proposed Act shall apply the report observed “Since each and every act of sexual harassment at the workplace is a form of sex discrimination which in effect denies a woman her fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution, it is proposed that any legislation dealing with the said issue should have the widest possible application so as to take within its scope every female member of the national workforce. Therefore, any legislation must apply to all government institutions, all public bodies, all panchayats, all establishments covered under the Factories Act and the Industrial Disputes Act and all employers in the private sector who are not otherwise covered by the categories listed above.”

दिल्ली   या   राजस्थान 
गर  ज्यादा  मतदान 
कांग्रेस  को  नुकसान। 

आप या किला , बनेंगे पहलवान (kila-kishori lal meena)
कहीं  बन ना जांये शैतान 
देखे जरा जनता का फरमान। 

नेताजी का बयान 
वोटर करते हैं हैरान 
नहीं बचा उनका ईमान। 

नोट लेकर  करें परेशान 
जीतू तो करू गंगा स्नान 
जय जय चुनाव महान
