Hype vs Reality : Modi

http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/hype-vs-reality/ SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 2013 PRAFUL BIDWAI COLUMN Hype vs reality PRAFUL BIDWAI MODI moves centre-stage!” “Modi storms in as the BJP’s PM candidate.” “It’s Narendra Modi vs Rahul Gandhi!” “In PM mode, Modi spells out strategy on big issues.” Thus scream the headlines in leading Indian publications and TV channels — part of a systematic corporate blitzkrieg to build up Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as a messiah of “development,” who is destined to lead India. In contrast to this hype, unprecedented in Indian history, Mr. Modi remains a deeply polarising figure internationally, nationally, and even within the Sangh Parivar, which is reluctant to name him as its prime ministerial candidate. Nothing can remove the stigma he carries for Independent India’s worst anti-minority pogrom, in 2002. Mr. Modi continues to be an abomination to conscientious citizens globally — and to millions of Hindus and non-Hindus in India, who treasure po...

How to bleed China without firing a single bullet

Image
1.How to bleed China without firing a single bullet? Stop using anything made in China. Before buying anything, see whether it is made In China. 2. If you find its made in China, just drop the product & tell the store bluntly that in future also you will not buy anything there. 3. Not only that, go to the length of telling him that you will also tell your other friends not to buy anything from that store. 4. This process should be repeated by everyone in at least 15 shops and keep on repeating so that word spreads fast. 5. Bulk mails and SMS should be sent to stores, importers & manufacturers who sell, import & make their products in China. 6. For example, Sony makes its Laptops in China & hence bulk mails shuld go to Sony & others like it dat wont not buy Chinese made products. 7.India's largest imports were frm China in 2012-13 at 12% & even if we can stop importing half of it, China will start feeling the pinch. 8. Govt is not going to ban imports from...

Mother courage

Image
Mother courage by  Dileep Padgaonkar  Zakia Jafri deserves accolades for her grit and determination to get justice for her slain husband. On April 24,  a magistrate in Ahmedabad will begin daily hearings on a petition filed by Zakia Jafri, widow of the slain Congress leader Ehsan Jafri, challenging the clean chit that the Special Investigation Team gave Narendra Modi’s for his alleged role in the Godhra and post-Godhra violence in 2002. She contends that the SIT overlooked masses of evidence - including dispatches filed by the intelligence department and detailed records of cell-phone calls made on Februray  28, the day on which her husband and 70 others were killed in the city’s Gulberg Society - to save the Gujarat chief minister’s skin. The calls indicate that as soon as he was he informed about the burning of the train at Godhra, Modi contacted not his senior officials first but the secretary of the Gujarat unit of the VHP, Jaideep Patel, a...

Lessons from Eagle's Life

Image
PRINCIPLE 1 Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can get to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with Eagles PRINCIPLE 2 Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and set out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed. PRINCIPLE 3 Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not. Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with, especially in movies and on TV. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well. PRINCIPLE 4 Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm's wind to lift it higher. On...

A Dangerous Joke

Image
Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam thinks Narendra Modi-as-PM as not just a hilarious joke, but a pretty dangerous one as well. For reasons best known to them only, a sizeable section of the national media has worked itself into a frenzy discussing Narendra Modi-as-PM. Panting and frothing at the mouth with self-induced excitement, some are writing in a way that suggests Narendra bhai Feku Modi is already our Prime Minister, as if the entire political class (except Modi’s backers) has been sent to the Andomans. People walking around in self-induced hypnosis must keep it in mind that the India of 2013 is not the Germany of 1933. Nor has India been devastated in a huge war and singed a peace treaty in defeat, humiliation and enduring shame. Also, it does not pay war repatriation that has shattered its economic backbone. On the contrary, the country has been growing economically at a steady pace for close to two decades. Unlike Germans of 80 years ago, Indians are not baying for the bloo...

Human computer Shakuntala Devi no more:

Image
Mathematical genius Shakuntala Devi, nicknamed as 'human computer' for her ability to make complex mental calculations, died at a hospital here today following respiratory problems.  She was 80.  "She passed away at Bangalore Hospital," Shakuntala Devi Educational Foundation Public Trust Trustee D C Shivadev told PTI. Doctors declared her dead at 8.15 AM, he said.  Devi was hospitalised a couple of weeks ago for critical respiratory problems, Shivadev said. "She developed heart and kidney problems later," he added.  She found a slot in the Guiness Book of World Record for her outstanding ability and wrote numerous books like 'Fun with Numbers', 'Astrology for You', 'Puzzles to Puzzle You', and 'Mathablit'. She had the ability to tell the day of the week of any given date in the last century in a jiffy.

AN EYE OPENER FOR SMALL INVESTORS
