The 'Right' Wing

The 'Right' Wing

I start off my post paying tribute to those souls lost in the Jaipur bomb blasts. I hope people remember what I am talking about because,
generally, the tendency in India is to forget these 'trivial' issues. After all, bomb blasts on a not so sporadic basis have become commonplace and the
regular Indian has accepted it as a part of the risk everyday life poses.
Living here in the US, I have discovered that this is a place that can NEVER EVER become HOME. But , it does pain me to see my country go to dogs
in a number of wide ranging issues.
The issues are countless and I from my post, it is easily verifiable that I am not a huge fan of the poor-excuse-of-a-party , namely the congress.
First up, the congress has been spineless in reacting to terrorism and have been found wanting in curbing terror at its very roots. POTA has been repealed and even
and its effects are for all to see. Even though the law did restrict one's rights guarenteed by the constitution, it was evident that POTA was right on the
money with respect to uprooting terror all over India. What did the Congress Govenment do ? Repeal the act, thereby giving terrorists a free hand.
The rationale behind the repeal was to ensure that the 'minority' vote would not be lost. So, what is the Government trying to portray here exactly ?
It is almost like the government trying to paint the picture that it is the minorites who are behind terror.
Another appalling fact is that the congress has divided people on the basis of their caste and creedby providing reservations to OBCs. But however,
our OBC brethren who actually need them, never get to taste them as they always go to the creamy layer. I know that the supreme court has sought to filter this creamy layer,
but the government is hell bent on ensuring that rservations are given on the basis of 'social status' rather than 'economic status'. Of course, this is only to ensure that sons and daughters
of politicians get reservations.
I strongly believe that RESERVATIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN. BUT ONLY ON THE BASIS OF ECONOMIC STATUS.
This brings me to an interesting comparisons of sorts

Mahabharata
Arjun armtwists Drona into asking for Ekalavya's thumb thereby depriving Ekalavya the ability to showcase his true talent.
Ekalavya obliges and severs his thumb.

2008
Arjun (Singh) armtwists Drona (IIM/IITs etc) to impose rservations thereby Depriving Ekalavya the ability to showcase talent.
Ekalavya DOES NOT OBLIGE and HIRES a FOREIGN COACH (Universities abroad)

The effect of brain drain is there for all to see. Meritorious candidates feel it is pointless for them to continue in India and this results in a
mass exodus to other countries.
Thanks to the government, army officers have resigned in droves and eminent scientists are throwing in their papers.
One cannot blame them entirely as they are paid paltry sums for their incredible service. Nowhere in the history if the any nation apart from India ,
has one political party gotten away with treason. Inspite of communist traitors being blatant in their support for China, the Congress shamelessly
hangs onto their support.

It is here that the BJP scores, atleast as far as I am concerned. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, one of the best PMs that we ever had, catapaulted India into the elite
club of countries possesing nuclear arsenals. But sadly, no one knows the detailed planning that went into such a monumental task. Foreign reserves were
piled up so that India could bear the brunt of any economic sanctions that the world would levy. The BJP conveyed a strong message to the world showing
India's determination and power. The BJP had vision to take the country forward and a strong economic and foreign policy, while the congress
seemingly focusses on dismembering India in everyway possible.

That is precisely why I stand by the 'right' wing
