56 Inch Rocks

Narendra Modi's speech at the US Congress was loaded with messages for one and all. Leaving aside the humour, wit and sarcasm, here are the Top 3 messages for the world

1) If there is any country in the world that has the potential to match the political, cultural and economic clout of the US , it is India. The future of US is linked to how well its treats India. With examples of Yoga v/s baseball, Gandhi and Vivekanand's influence on US history and more than anything the rise of the economy in India .........India has and will continue to influence even domestic US culture and how well its economy does.

2) Larger role for India in the geo-social politics of the world - India no longer shies away from playing a leadership role in world affairs. From peace keeping to disaster management, from climate change to protecting the global seas, from solar clubs to space , India has point of view which we will assertively communicate and drive our agenda....

3) Narendra Modi ended his message with the quote ... "The Orchestra has sufficiently tuned its instruments, the baton has given its signal.... '.  After 70 years of being non -aligned , India is no longer sitting in the audience. We are active players in the orchestra , we will decide which tune or symphony we want to play and will even take charge of the baton to signal others .

Moral of the story .... India is rising , confident and assertive....after 70 years of Independence, we have decided to grow up and take charge of our destiny.

Mauka Mauka for the Enemy Within

Two things unite a nation as diverse as India - culture and cricket. When any nation takes part in a world tournament and does well very in the initial stages, one would expect the people of that nation to back the team .... Over the past few weeks we had many intellectuals and prominent media houses hoping that India looses the semi finals against Australia ... It started with noted sociologist Ashis Nandy .... According to Nandy, India is suffering from too much national pride and winning the world cup will make it worse... This was followed by a national poll by a leading print magazine Outlook which asked .. "Should India win the World Cup ? "  You can take the survey here Outlook not only echoed Nandy's sentiments but went on to add that "winning the world cup might just make India's macho and hyper masculine nationalism more intense. Over the last few months, there seems to have been an effort to make a pluralistic India into a homogeniz...

BJP Karyakarta has Won

The earliest memory I have of a BJP karyakarta was of my mother''s colleague and friend called as Rajani aunty . Rajni aunty and her family were dedicated, committed karyakartas of the RSS, Jan Sangh and then the BJP.  Their commitment was so complete that they made every contribution they could - tan, man and dhan. Even in the 1980's when the BJP was a very young party, Rajani aunty and her family stood like a steady rock. When Vajpayee lost in the 1984 election, there were tears in her eyes. Rajani aunty used to work as a professor at the Sophia college in Mumbai. Once she asked a rather innocent question in the GK paper - "Who is the founder of the RSS ? ". The secular Catholic management took a very hard view and she was forced to quit her job. For 2 years she did not have a job but never once regretted her commitment to the ideology. Through her trials , she always stood by the Sangh. Her family for generations and decades stood by the Sangh no matte...
