Narendra Modi or Gandhi – why democracy failed in India

Narendra Modi or may be Rahul Gandhi – what everyone missed in the democracy. To know this read my article. Today, I am going to highlight the thing that is being missed by every single political party.

India is really a big country. It is a country that is home to thousands of languages. It is a country that has six seasons clearly visible and felt. It is the most diverse country in the world. It is the home of 1.25 billion people. Each and every state has different cultures, mother languages, landscapes and many more. Compare just adjacent states like – west Bengal and Bihar. How different they are. It is impossible to change India for one man. If India changes, it will change itself.

 My father, who is a retired railway service man, who used to serve for Kanchrapara railway workshop, kharagpur railway workshop and Jamalpure Railway workshop and worked more than 35 years in Indian railway. Since he was a railway man, we (Me, my elder brother and my mother) got opportunity to travel anywhere, anytime using railway. We did not lose this opportunity and did not misuse this as well. We travel across India. Travelled whole country and various states like – West Bengal( My motherland) , Madhya Pradesh , Uttar Pradesh , Tamil Nadu , Gujarat , Jammu and Kashmir  , Rajasthan etc and more. I have record of their cultures, likes & dislikes, goods and bads, their colors, their souls, their traditions and more. Needless to say, after visiting so many states with so many cultures, all these gave me much knowledge about India. And all this diversity makes India unique and absolutely different than rest of the world. India is the most vibrant country in the world.

However, this vibrant is not good today anymore. Vibrancy looks very interesting but when it is the matter of globalization, industrialization or development the work will be the hardest job in the world. You cannot tie them up in a single rhythm. Every Indian thinking their world differently. Since almost each state have different cultures, different mother tongues, every state different ecological structure and that’s why it is impossible to spread one idea to 1.25 billion.  Our democracy is a vibrant too. The bad news is that it is so much vibrant that cannot connect each and every Indian in a frame. While looking at china, Russia or United States you will easily say – “In united states all people is American, in china all people are called Chinese, in Russia all people called Russian. In case of India, all people are not Indian. If you say all them to Indian, this forcefully you are saying them Indian. In India, there are Bengalis, Punjabis, Tamils, Kashmiris, Muslims, Sikkimmse and so on” and that’s the most vibrant and most colorful India. There are lots of other differences as well. In each state there is state government who runs the state. The policies of state govt. are also different form each other states as well. This also includes the traffic rules (And its fines and sometimes laws and application of laws), education system, financial system etc and more.

To tie them in single knot, to bring a rhythm where Indians of all casts, languages and religions is quiet impossible. In 21^st centaury the race is for removing poverty, to decrease child death, to increase woman empowerment, to be the 1^st in face of being super power, to stay ahead of technological race etc. I believe India have solved each and every problem recently , today in 2017 India is getting much more transparent govt. , we have technology , we have computers , we have information technology , we have  high quality systems as well. I believe India has one and only one problem and if we could solve that problem probably we will find / get solutions of other problems as well. The name of the problem is poverty.  If India could decrease its poverty overnight, all other problems will also solved over night.

All the political parties in India really corrupted. In fact, the political system is corrupted. That’s why you will see corrupt politicians could win elections, they are getting public supports, and they are getting votes and finally win the elections. While the political system is corrupted, the whole govt. is running badly. There are bad policies in our economic system, education system, financial system etc. The only solutions to this I believe it is industrialization. Industrialization will help India to get richer. Today, a large number of young students are passing out of the college in each year. In fact, India has highest number of young, English knowing person in the world after United States. This large number of people requires lots of jobs and source of income. Rapid and extremely rapid growth of industries and mass job creation will help to get rid of this problem.

I have looked people support political parties since childhood. Though I was not authorized to vote election before 18, but I got maturity to understand the political system in India 5 years before than that age. Since I live in West Bengal, I have extremely clear idea of the political situation of west Bengal. The people here are actually stupid. They even don’t why a govt. is here for. They even don’t know what is the actually duty of govt. They don’t know the definition of corruption. They don’t know how budget and money are allocated to govt. and how they are utilized. Is the govt.  Duty to set up schools, toilets, colleges, universities or may be providing money in hospitals? I don’t think so. I do think the duty of a govt. is elsewhere. The poor and vast uneducated people of Bengal are just brain washed by the political leaders and they are giving vote to them. The kind of deaf and dumb people are also the reason of winning election of people having crime charges on them. The 2^nd point I must with you is the definition of corruption.  Like Modi have a charge of fueling Gujarat riots? However in the era of Monmohan Singh, we have 2G scam of worth 1.8 lakh core rupees – who is more corrupted? Modi or Monmohan?

Both are crime not corruption. The 2^nd one is actually corruption but the 1^st one is just a kind of crime. But crime requires proving as well. Our supreme court of India has judged the whole case of Gujarat Riots and proved Modi did not commit any crime. I wonder people still blame modi for the riots where is no evidence. In case of 2G scam there is clear evidence but to Indian 2G scam is not a crime or any kind of corruption. These kinds of differences are everywhere available in India and that is really bad for democracy. We need to know or understand the govt. duty what it is how we should deal with it.  In India people even don’t know what corruption is and what is not. What is crime and what is not. The newspapers in India are also another voice of the party. If any newspaper is not supporting party, they will be busy in picking up the fault of that party. In west Bengal, almost every newspaper is busy in talking against BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) related, because they are just against that party. The biggest problem in India with the media is that they politically blind and they talk for a political party. They don’t spread news independently or democratically. They work as a extremely motivator to public.

Let’s now talk about Modi. All we know Modi is a good man. He is man work, he never misses his duty and he is extremely ambitious and hard worker. Since his election campaign starting in 2014, I am closely watching and analyzing all the movements, foreign trips and all other works. Modi was successful everywhere and I hope in future there will be more great achievements of Modi. However, all these political leaders have a simple lack of sense - what could actually improve India? To me it is Industrialization.  All the political leaders along with Modi failed to fix this simple issue. Today India requires lots of jobs and jobs.  The products that are imported should be manufactured here. The govt. should maintain and implement strategy so that 100% sold in India products are being made here.

I am not sure this problem will be solved anytime soon. You know for mass industrialization and job creation there should be reforms and lots of reforms. That requires lots of tough constitution changes, land reforms as well. Today the biggest problem with India that people doesn’t want to give up their lands but at the same time they want industries. I hope Modi would be looking into this problem in near future. Today there are “Made in China”. Likewise there should be “Made in India” as well. Recently Modi have implemented “Make in India” strategy however, I think that is more a failure and just a word. If there are really make in India slogan why govt. is buying billion dollar weapons from Russia, Israel, United states etc?  Why we can’t build aircrafts, airships? That is called a failure of politics and Modi should take a labiality of it.

After all again, I don’t think this problem will not solve anytime soon.
