Yes. I know there is an overhauling increase in the number of ridicules for his foreign trip. "There are far more pressing problems in India", some say shamelessly. But if there is another poll, I will again vote for Mr. Modi.
I do not know much about politics. Damn, I do not know anything. I am shamefully ignorant and fail to grasp certain economic things even if I watch numerous news channels and read newspapers. But, I will vote for Mr.Modi because he gave hope which itself seemed like a dream for India.
When was India out of problems? With a country having a massive diversity in religion, language, culture, right from dance to food, it is indeed a huge feat to uphold secularism and provide hope for all of them. One religion feels left out if the other religion gets benefit, one state feels left out if other state gets a benefit. Everyone wants the same things yet more.
I would like to point certain things that I like in Mr.Modi. He, unlike "certain" other politicians, seems to be transparent about his foreign trips. I don't think anyone doing a mistake, does it so publicly, in front of 30 million eagle eyes. So yes, I do not think he visits other nations just for the sake of it. Then, there is this whole scandal about porn sites banned. I fail to grasp the reason behind such an overpowering outcry. Shouldn't people be a little embarrassed to admit that they watch porn videos involving children. Why, no. They talk about banning corruption, child abuse, rape, etc. I mean, why ban something that is already illegal?
Then there is this ban on beef meat. I am appalled at the hypocrisy. Cow is a holy animal for Hindus. I would love to see how others react if we tarnish their holy image! Again, these people crop up talking about freedom.
These are just a few things that were blown out of proportion. I am not even going to go into celebrities returning their awards.
While we are looking at the "awful" things in his government, let's point some softer lights towards his "better" things. He started a movement called Swatch Barath. Some went to lengths in telling he started it but did nothing after that. Well, if you are waiting for him to come and clean your streets, fat chance! Blah,blah, similarly to "Make in India".
What did I do? Nothing. I too lament about people who lament. Indian blood runs deep and full in me. But I do not ridicule people who do something.
So I will vote for Modi because there seems no other hope for us than a person standing up against criticism and doing what he does, with style.
'Everyone wants the same things yet more' This sentence is so true especially in a country like ours where every state compares itself with others and even every religion does.
ReplyDeleteAnd YES Beef Ban was such a huge topic.. I believe that its simply because people didn't consider how important cows have been to us.
We use milk,curd,butter, ghee,cheese etc a million times..And also all our festivals are about sharing happiness with sweets(made from dairy products). For ages cows have been used in farming and agriculture and even as pets. There is also a fact that they can sense the vibe of their master and his family. Hindus have been able to pay tribute to the beautiful eco-system and our co-existence with cattle by worshiping them or by considering them as a holy symbol(Lord Krishna grew up at households with cattle and sang with them and loved them). Would any religion accept if their holy image or symbol was slaughtered or destroyed like the cows? Gotta think of this before opposing the ban.
