Well, that's the big thing right now in India, innit?! Elections.. Elections.. Annoying American Teeny Bopper voice "Omg! Omg! The fate of India's governance and it's bilateral future depends on the selection of this political pundit. C'mon ma Indians, Let's Vote.. Let it ring NaMo all over or let it ring RaGa
or let's show that AAP is the BAAP of Indian Politics"
* RaGa= Rahul Gandhi. Yup. I thought I’d copy write it too. That's right people.. You saw it here first.
People ask me, why i didn't vote. They say it's my duty to ensure, i vote for the better leader. Vote or Vat. It's literally all over the T.V, Radio, Newspapers, Billboards, On the backs of loyal party supporters as Tramp Stamps, On top of the Tiffin Boxes of little kids [OMG.. Not the kids. At least leave 'em alone :(], On disposed Milk Cartons, On disposed Human Bodies. . (Okay. Maybe, i took this too far). But STILL, there's too much reckless campaigning with no regard to civil conditions.
You wouldn't believe how incredible how this has gotten. I see rallies held by these Political Support groups which affect the flow of Traffic, hence resulting in Traffic Snarls & unnecessary pandemonium. Kids not able to come home on time, Adults not able to come back on time, Fat 40 year olds not able to fake a jog to a park, The neighbour's dog not able to urinate peacefully on the car tyre, Birds not able to meticulously poop on Dr. Ambedkar's statue. I mean it's horrible for Animals AND Humans.
With the consistency of Ad's on T.V coercing people to vote for a candidate of their choice, it turns into such an annoyance, when I’m watching a movie or am in a thought warp, pondering the possibilities of the Antagonist's fate or wondering what's the name of the Gorgeous actress, as I’m too lazy to access Google.
I mean, let's face it,.. There is Pain in Campaigning.
And my NEXT point, how can i be expected to vote, when all i see on TV are these Sting operations conducted on these Political Parties? And then these programmes are usually followed by another "Vote for us - cause we're better at hiding our assets from people" type of Ad. Sheesh!
Until a Leader gains my trust wholeheartedly, i probably will NEVER vote. Ha!
I mean, i thought Mr Jawaharlal Nehru was an iconic leader, until i read THIS...
1962 India-China war report nails (No Pun intended) Nehru
Top secret Henderson Brooks report which gives the detailed account of India’s military debacle in 1962 war with China and flawed policies of then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has been released online by Australian journalist Neville Maxwell.
The report said the most significant reason of India's defeat is that the political leadership of that time failed India. It was not Chinese betrayal, but then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and his Defence Minister V K Krishna Menon's arrogant belief that they would solve the crisis through diplomacy and that China would not dare attack India despite the latter's 'Forward Policy'.
The explosive report comes at a time when India is facing Lok sabha elections and and congress image is all time low because of the corruption scandals and it seems it is the last nail in the Congress coffin as it provides enough cannon fodder for the BJP and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi to attack Congress and the Gandhi dynasty.
It reveals the startling facts about the war ie the poor state of India's forces during the war, it discusses "how the Army was ordered to challenge the Chinese military to a conflict it could only lose," according to Maxwell.
The report was authored by Lieutenant General Henderson Brooks and Brigadier P S Bhagat, then commandant of the Indian Military Academy, soon after the war. It was commissioned by Lt General J N Chaudhuri who had just taken over as chief of Army staff in 1962.
Neville Maxwell was The Times’ South Asia correspondent for eight years from 1959 and during his tenure in New Delhi, had the opportunity to see the India-China border dispute from the Indian side.
Maxwell authored in 1970 ‘India’s China War’ — a path-breaking, yet controversial, account of the conflict.
The Indian establishment was furious as it highlighted the flawed decision-making of the then prime minister and the defence minister that led to defeat at the hands of the Chinese.
Maxwell argued that he released the report because he believed he was “complicit in a continuing cover-up” by keeping the report to himself and thus released , for the first time, four chapters of the still classified report.
WOW @ that^
With old men like the one below leading the People. All i can see is a grim future.
Check out this stupendous comment by Yadav below:
"Handing death sentence for rape is not fair... boys make mistakes... there will be changes in the law if we come to power," he reportedly said at an election rally on Thursday in Moradabad district of northern Uttar Pradesh state."
* This guy is like an old, uglier, wrinkly Lindsey Lohan. Getting publicity for all the wrong reasons.
We need a dynamic young leader.. A John F Kennedy (R.I.P) type who will rattle the system and turn it upside down.
Anywho, we're not sure what India's future would be. Would it be in China or outside of it? *If you catch my drift*
Feel free to leave a comment, if you wish. Until then, Adiós, peeps!
