AAP - The Politics Of Hawabaazi And Dramebaazi


When the new party formed as an outcome of India Against Corruption movement, named as Aam Aadmi Party, we felt quite romantic about it. It was formed with a promise of getting India rid of corruption. There were a lot of expectations from it. People thought ultimately there will be a party which will hear common man instead of big corporates and industrialists. So, people have trusted a man called Arvind Kejriwal not once, but twice!

During the 2015 Delhi assembly election, The AAP in its manifesto gave several hawabaazi like providing free water, free WiFi, cutting the electricity Bill to half, opening more schools, colleges and hospitals. From aam aadmi, aam aurat to aam bacche there was something for everyone. All this was to lure voters. And, seriously all these promises were no less than winning a jackpot. So, they have voted AAP.

Without hesitation, I can say that the people of Delhi have trusted a wrong man. The so-called aam aadmi can't believe that a person of such high popularity and a Chief Minister uses foul language like saala and kamina. He is a dramebaaz but unlike other actors, he acts in the real world.

During his Swearing-in ceremony, Kejriwal sang the song “Insaan Ka Insaan Se Ho Bhaichaara”(nice song, not sung well though). If we listen to the lyrics, we find this is quite contrasting to the current situation in AAP. Can it be called Bhaichaara? If it can, then we have no Bhaichaara, only hatred.

The credibility of Kejriwal is in danger. We all are aware of his U-turns. But we still saw a good and honest man in him. That's why he is enjoying a thumping majority in the Delhi assembly which other parties can only just dream about.

    Nice post. In two minds about Kejriwal. The man who has been elected as the CM of Delhi and had been entrusted as a caretaker of Delhi and considered responsible for bringing change out there is also the one who is unable to handle the conflicts and dramas within his party. How does one believe then that he will make Delhi prosper?

The Indian Society And The Struggle Of Our Sports Fraternity

India, the world’s second-most populous nation, fails to show its dominance in sports. In fact, India's performance remains terrible except in few games. So, what's holding India back when it comes to competing in world sporting events like the Olympics? First, it's the conservative Indian mindset of the Indian society. You might be aware of the saying in India “ Padhoge likhoge banoge Nawab, kheloge kudoge banoge kharab ” which translates to “You can be a king if you study, can be spoilt if you play games.” Social life of a person who took the plunge of making a career in sports in India can be challenging and demotivating. An Indian parents or teachers, being part of the society, don't consider sports as a career. They have the biggest influence in a child's future ambitions. They may scold the child that “playing a sport will get you nowhere in life, but to make a life you need to be good in academics”. In other words, young Indians are discouraged from playing s...

Gangubai Nivrutte Bhambure gets up at 5 am to do household chores. She is a 94-year-young sarpanch of Bhamburwadi village and holds the distinction of becoming oldest sarpanch in Pune district. Gangubai believes in hard work. She says it's time to work for the people, her people, otherwise it's of no use of her becoming a  sarpanch . She says she will not disappoint them who trusted and endowed her with the chair of the  sarpanch . The first task would be to help farmers from seven villages who own 1000 hectares of land, but due to lack of water, they can't grow anything on it. According to Gangubai's grandsons, there is a canal less than 2km from these farms but they don't get a drop of water. The government had failed the people. Gangubai is keen to take PM's help in this matter and she is very optimistic that PM will respond to her request. She says that PM Narendra Modi is like her son and he will definitely help her and the farmers. Her other priorit...

Protecting Daughters from Gender Discrimination and Dowry System

What is dowry? Casually, some of us find this as a traditional custom of bribing the groom and their family by bride's parents to get rid of their daughter. Or some of us may consider this as buying of groom by bride's parents through a bidding process. We as a part of Indian society are infamous for dowry and its related offences. When a daughter is born, most of the Indian families don't find that joy a son could have given them. Some of them get depressed after finding out the gender of newborn baby. Having a daughter is a burden to them, mostly, because of the social phenomena like dowry. We make noise and protest against corruption. But we never go through its roots and make substantive changes to uproot it. What is the reason for the corrupt officials to take such risks? The dowry is not the "only" but a good and considerable reason to hoard money through corrupt practices. No media has more reach to our society than Bollywood movies. In the plethora of...

Bihar Liquor Ban - The Political Perspective

Whether you call it Nitish Kumar's masterstroke for gaining publicity and support of people or a responsible chief minister batting for people's interests, on the face of it, it is great that Bihar is free from alcohol abuse. The Bihar excise (amendment) act, 2016 – a very old 1915 act has been converted into a very stringent law – is haunting the alcohol gang of Bihar. This law banned manufacturing, selling or consumption of liquors (strong or mild) and even prescribes the death penalty for the manufacturer, suppliers and sellers of hooch in case of death as a result of consumption of spurious liquors. Although Biharis can drink outside state boundary, they'll be punished if they create nuisance after returning home. The government had actually proposed to ban only 'desi' liquors. The sale of non-country or ‘Indian Made Foreign Liquor’ (IMFL) was allowed, although, with some caveats. However, within five days, the government extended the ban to IMFL as w...

Education Emergency — Why Schools Should Open Its Doors

One sector which is silently hit by the Covid-19 pandemic the most is the education. As a precautionary measure, schools were the first to be shut even before a formal announcement of lockdown. After all, education doesn't come under the umbrella of essential services.  According to the data from UNICEF, schools for more than 168 million children globally have been completely closed for almost an entire year, and more than 888 million children worldwide continue to face disruptions to their education due to full and partial school closures.  In India, only one in four children have access to digital devices and internet connectivity. There is a large rural-urban and gender divide which is why not everyone is able to benefit the digital revolution. Such vulnerable children unable to access remote learning might never be able to get back to learning even after the pandemic fades away, and could be easily exploited as child labor.  Shifting Classes Online   To those who...
