Indian Politicians: Big Dreams, Big Talk but Snail Walk - Page 2
Sacrifice and Grandson
Indian people could not forget Indira’s sacrifice but to elect her elder son Rajiv Gandhi as their next leader. Rajiv Gandhi pushed India into 21st century even before it arrived. He prepared the ground as best as he could for the rise of private business kingdoms. Old businesses extended and new businesses flourished under Rajiv’s tenure. Be it Ambani’s Reliance kingdom, be it K P Singh’s DLF real estate firm, and you name it. New class of Indian multinational companies began to take their initial shape.
Hindu Fundamentalism
Along came religious fundamentalism. The old liquor continued to fill the bottles. The old bottle of ‘socialistic pattern of society’ is replaced by the new bottle ‘Hindu nationalism’. As such, bosses are also changed from dethroned Russia to more strengthened ‘uncle Sam’. People are always there in poverty, illiteracy, severe malnutrition and what not?
Grand Daughter-in-law and continues…
And now the Italian daughter-in-law’s back-seat driving; IMF&WB controlled Prime Minister; ever extending super power’s octopussy hands all over the land; flourishing private wealth; deepening roots of imperialist plunder; three pronged LPG (liberalization, privatization and globalization) loot; weakening public sector, the only and last jobs generating tool… all ruling the roost. People are always there in poverty, illiteracy, malnourishment and etc… One ex-president is still asking children, “…Dare to dream!’
Whither the dreams and promises destined?
