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certain outdated or vestigial institutions, kicking away white elephants in the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.
