There are a couple of things that have been going around in my head for the past few days. Well since May 17th actually, the day when Congress came back to power with a thumping victory in the polls over the "Communal force" BJP. It is both a moment of relief and disappointment for me. Relief as there is no left to dictate its terms and no Dalit Ki Beti to lay claims to the post of PM just because she is a dalit ki beti. Disappointment as this election yet again proves the hangovers in Indian mindset that have been there for as long as history has been written. Since ages Indians have been ruled by one dynasty or another. Be it the Mauryas, the Mughals or the British. More than 20 centuries of dynasty rule has taken away whatever respect we could have had for ourselves. We have it ingrained in ourselves that there is someone who is born and destined to rule us better than we can. The earlier kings could do it, the British could do it better and now the Gandhis can do it better. Agreed that in those days the commons could'nt do much as they would have been quashed by force. But now when the power to vote in a democracy has been given to us we still choose to vote for the destined lot.
Even the most forward nation with the most ethnic and religious diversity has one clause in its constitution. "A natural born citizen can only be the President of the United States of America"
And that is a country which has a total history as old as any other temple in our country. But we , a country older and more continuous than history itself genuflect in front of a lady who did'nt even take the citizenship for a good 15 years after marrying Rajiv Gandhi. I am not questioning Sonia Gandhi or her intentions back then. What I am trying to say is that we should welcome all with open arms but there is a limit to which this welcome should be extended.
As far as the communal tag is concerned with BJP why should'nt Congress be called communal?
The oxford dictionary defines communal as "between different communities". What did Arjun Singh do if not pit the higher castes against the backward castes ? And what about "Indian Union Muslim League" that sits in the UPA? A party that has its very origin/existence in the name of a religion is not communal but a party that says that the roots of this country, not the majority religion, be respected is communal ? Ram they say is fictitious. I say who are they to tell me to question my belief. What proof is there for Mohammad or Jesus Christ to exist? The holy books and writings that go back in history. Why then should I accept the Ramayana as mythology and not history ? Just because the western philosohers can't verify it they deny it. And just because they deny it we can't accept it. The single biggest blot on the nationalistic party is Godhra which should be accepted and condemned. Why dosen't Congress come out in the open and accept 1984 Sikh killings.
Its just that this communal card is now so stale that I just switch the channel whenever the likes of Lalu, Mulayam and Mayawati repeat the god damned rhetoric over and over again. The people of India gave the BJP one chance and expected miracles in 5 years. It was like " these people create too much nuisance. Lets give them one chance. What ? after five years we are just respected the world over for being a nuclear power and Included in the G20? No No thats not enough. Lets all go back and bow to the Gods and Goddesses, Kings and Queens once again, Maybe till eternity.
Maybe thats the reason that even the cricket teams in the IPL are all royals, Knights and Kings as the fantasy dosen't seem to break.
