Two years of NDA or MODI’s Operandi –an evaluation in local
circles
Who are we in any way to evaluate the massive change in the
very dynamics and debates of real political arena?
The very tone and tenor of this starting sentence reveals
the massive impact in short time in political arena and long term benefits to the
economy of the nation.
This may be different from those manipulative exaggerations that take
place in a few English news channels in India and some news papers or as projected
by some vested interest lobbies.
That’s why even all political parties rely more on social
media than TV channels.
All parties and state governments talk of investments,
education, sanitation, health, agricultural development, economic development, infrastructure
development and employment generation.
Of course there are always some gift items of freebies and
media generated circus of divisive politics and victim hood peddling to divert the
attention of the gullible masses-surprisingly and unfortunately these things
also get political dividends sometimes.
In this unwelcome and infectious milieu PM MODI
is doing the following excellent things which are a great paradigm shift in a
short span and are going to be of immense use giving long term benefits,
because he knows a country with a great pride of ancestry can only become a
hope for the future:-
First putting institutions in place;
Second ensuring efficient, enthusiastic and the
most eligible persons at important positions in these institutions who can at
least think in the same wave length and attempt to execute appropriate measures
with certain amount of integrity and;
Third ensuring the benefits, services etc
directly reach the most deserving population through activities like opening
bank accounts, doing away with Gas subsidy, social security scheme, making
railway stations as business hubs in small villages, and;
Fourth ensuring inter-state interactions at all
levels irrespective of political affinities or ideologies.
Fifth using enormous surveys and data to implement schemes in a
very scientific measured way;
Sixth evolving systems and structured and methodical development
processes in many fields to ensure delivery of schemes implemented reach the eligible
and intended beneficiary and not eaten up by middlemen of various hues.
It is these activities which are no small
achievement by any means in any country and, more so, in a country like India
with a perennially anti development attitude peddling hostile media and
multitude of host of theoretical suggestions giving experts who try hard to
criticize every action and try hard to find fault if not invent mistakes to
question every action or policy.
Kudos to MODI .
Yes it is true and he is going about doing some
very important things for a country,[ as can be obviously seen by all without
being specialist economists or the feigning half baked judge all and know all
TV anchors], like India which is:-
1. Geographically large and susceptible to the vagaries
of weather on which not only the economic activity but the very livelihood of
the majority of population depends namely, agriculture.
2. A population which is multi-cultural, multi-religious,
multi ethnic, multi- lingual,hyper sensitive and vulnerable to manipulations
and instigations;
3. Vast majority of this population is habitually used to
anarchic behavior,
4. Essential government services are at the mercy of
multiple Babus [starting from a clerk to a Goonda leader to a minister either
political, bureaucratic or otherwise influencing everything,
5. Majority of the population vulnerable to emotional
black mailing,
6. A name sake federal structure which was subjected to
pull and push tactics by the central government even on issues of national
interest and those in concurrent list for political considerations.
7. Bunch of academically qualified people who have only
worked for short term gains or with next election minding politicians.
8. To add to some of these inherent and inevitable
difficult circumstances and atrocious destructive forces there are also many
externally sponsored trouble creators operating under various masks, mostly
through some foreign funded NGOs and paid media houses.
9. There exists alongside a small portion of emotionally
charged attention diverting and uncontrollable extreme right wing elements who have their own agenda which they do not realize
is not the priority for the nation
at present.
10. All these
combinations are further manipulated and misused by the majority of the most
dangerous malign media mafias with their hidden agenda, dictates of their pay
masters etc. These popular goons who enjoy popularity and power without any
responsibility can magnify minute things and totally mask massive corruption
through their selective amnesia, collective indifference, brain washing
techniques, sloganeering and many other dirty old tricks.
Modi has failed
enormously in checking media probing in to the scam of only select media houses
accompanying the PM [MMS] during UPA regime at tax payers’ cost on all trips
abroad.
Some media
houses are conducting more trails and delivering more judgments on all issues
than all the courts in India put together including on judicial activism when
judiciary is not favoring them; preach on parliamentary over reach when
parliament wants a panel to appoint judges; blame bureaucratic hurdles when
funds of their pay masters get delayed; criticize government corporate nexus;
condemn police excess but media mafia, misuse and its lobbies always take
umbrage under press freedom.
Stephany
Yablow was correct "Inevitably, the media create a
circus, elevating everything and elucidating nothing."
It also
establishes well what Charles Eisenstein said, "From brand names to PR
slogans to political code words, the language of the media that inundates
modern life consists almost wholly of subtle lies, misdirection, and
manipulation”.
Viruses
that affect the Indian socio- psychological perceptions are mostly thanks to
media contribution in the recent past.
Myth making; Hero-worship; Citing exceptions as examples and
make sweeping statements based on that; Over generalizing the particular; Particularizing
the general;Over simplifying the complex; Complicating the simple; Resorting to
unloving criticism and uncritical love; Projecting poverty and suffering as the
important requirements to get god’s grace; Evaluating anything or anyone with
irrelevant aspects; Quoting and questioning things without contextual
relevance; Proceeding with justifications to bolster up or brush aside facts; Paralyzing
simple events with unwarranted and perverted analysis; Forging for facts to fit
into preconceptions; Showing intolerance towards dissent; Promoting
anti-nationalism as freedom of speech; Invent intentions when results are good
and useful; Pandering to populism and political correctness over providing long
term prosperity; Making desperate attempts to degrade some and deify others; Opposing
for the sake of opposing; rejecting reasoning; operating with selective
amnesia and collective indifference; Trying to mask present short comings
by raking up past glories and gloat with ethnocentric pride; Sit on judgment
over everything and everyone without trying to know in detail what we are
judging; Generously throwing opinions around even without doing some home
work on any issue; Diverting attention from intrinsically important issues by
projecting emotionally appealing allegations, twisting facts, total
indifference to facts etc have all become such a huge carapace covering the
present generation that no one can know what is the real character of this
generation.
The prime reason for most of these ugly trends are because
people are overwhelmingly negatively influenced by media houses both in the
print and audio visual which churns out heroes out of zeros and in some cases
the glamorous reel industry dominates over and sometimes replaces the reality.
These
worthies in the media are mostly guided by some petrified ideological fixations
bolstered by some putrefied slogans and outdated statistics , pelf that
pours into their purses, propelled by pseudo intellectualism and all of
these masquerading as meaningful concern for the public. These media worthy
pawns are moved around to manipulate, mislead and micro manage remotely all
domains by multiple forces.
Most
unfortunate impact of the manifestation of these attitudes is that many
gullible youths apply most of these indiscriminately across the whole spectrum
of human activities like in political domain, religious activities,
social issues, cultural institutions, sports arena, economic development
projects, commercial sector etc.
