Core Values beyond religious identity

It is unfortunate that the world is rewinding towards more discussions on religions and faith, especially many of their naïve aspects, which have outlived their relevance for various factors of present generations’ needs.

 

However, when such topics are thrown at press conferences to political leaders/aspirants, it requires real courage of conviction to talk about the core values of religions/faiths which do help to hold the social fabric with certain time tested and universally acceptable sane propositions and to take the perspective of discussions beyond ideological dichotomies/ binaries and identity based classifications.

 

On most topics he is frank , has enough clarity and talks sense. 

 

Most importantly is not averse to taking head on certain outdated or vestigial institutions, kicking away white elephants in the system and willing to at least talk  boldly on unpopular, controversial issues with a clear stand. 

 

He may be right or wrong. May become a useful, purposeful great leader or dumped on the roadside by the voting public. 

 

But it does matter a lot that we need such people who are willing to make bold statements on certain issues with courage of conviction unmindful of the outcomes of success at the elections.

 

I consider him as one of the most powerful young leaders, better and bolder than our PM.

 

Obvious, of course, the dynamics of factual economic power and ​a society imbued with luddites and status quo addicts, combined with total lack of ecosystem in many domains [ though we may cherish in singing the refrain that we are a civilization that did this or that or knew so many things - if that is the case why everyone suffers from xenophilia].

 

Unfortunately, even for any sincere leader with vision and absolute majority, the preferred journey of option would be diplomatically deal, compromise, get along, reconcile etc and wait for a probable and opportune time when the path can be safely changed, and destination could become a promised land of more opportunities, freedom, and greater economic prosperity.

 

Our PM too took some very bold decisions, not necessarily before parliament elections, but before major state assembly elections- which were all like referendums on his government- like Article 370, TT, Demo, GST etc , first doing away with that stupid PLANNING COMMISSION while everything is planned based on commission in real politics. He was unashamed to talk about toilets in his first speech. 

 

Though unfortunately, he does not have the luxury of a 30 trillion USD economy not to bother about or to speak or to plunge into action on certain uncomfortable geopolitical issues or can he afford to even talk about the manipulations of the deep state. 

 

Whereas Vivek is already boldly calling them (the deep state) and their scheming by name and is declaring about downsizing (the white elephants in US) administration.
