Great and good governance by BJP?MODI government despite all hurdles

                     But what more needs to be done keep the momentum       

Though in the present day leading a nation of India’s size, diversity, population, youth with very high expectations and so on, make it too complicated with lot of complexities. Added to these, the pull and push of political compulsions with too many irresponsible political parties, remote controlled outdated and irrelevant ideological outfits [ often anti-national], disruptive technological advancements and the impact of unpredictable geopolitical churning make things tougher.

In this scenario, prioritising aspects of governance becomes even more difficult. Besides, many aspects of the nation’s growth require parallel and equal attention and drastic changes in a country like ours can be implemented only gradually or even if implemented by force [ though that is very rare], the acceptance will take time.

But the political history, geography and economic growth of the past few centuries have taught us enough and we are blessed that BJP/MODI have those lessons as an inevitable blueprint to act upon or at least not to ignore them.

Lesson number one:- Security. Even some of the natural resource rich African countries have not progressed as much as certain natural resource rich countries of the Middle East because the African nations have ignored national security from internal violences and external threats. This means not only big military power but dealing effectively and firmly with all or any anti-national elements which create unwanted nuisance internally under whatever label or ideology.

Lesson number two :- Encouraging big private business houses. If  we study the past few decades, the countries that have developed in economic growth had maximum number of flourishing big private business houses. They are too obvious for us to name them.

Lesson number three :- Employment Generating activities which will fix the missing pieces of the puzzle of global economic necessities [ not to be confused with globalisation  which had hidden agenda from the beginning]

USA focusing on and encouraging many vital R&D in Science and technologies,

CHINA acting as a mass producer of several essential products keeping its political ideologies away from interfering with its economic developmental agenda.

Germany by virtue of its traditionally huge Industrial machinery manufacturing sector

Japan due to its innovations, hardworking citizens and its defence expenses being taken care of by SCAP [Supreme Command of Allied Powers ] for long and the 1952 San Francisco Treaty wherein 49 countries agreed to help.

France due to its focus on good education and opting for sane energy option with maximum nuclear plants.

INDIA acting as a big skilled and intellectual workforce provider for many service sectors but still lagging in many areas.

Whereas, nations which had the advantage of starting the century as wealthy nations [out of the colonial loot- some European nations] but failed to provide any piece of the puzzle of global economic necessities are tasting the inevitable fact that life of luxury without any responsibility but mere international political hegemony and bossy insolence driven manipulation and threats alone cannot sustain them for long.

 

Despite all hurdles, one undeniable fact is that the present BJP/MODI government for the past 11 years has focused on good governance and shifted the gears on various verticals to take the nation ahead in economy, civilizational and cultural revival, improving infrastructure etc the few vital fulcrums [ or full luck RAMs ] along with effectively promoting a well deserving and capable person and projecting him as a cult figure [rightly so, because the masses take easily to  a cult figure of fame and name to recognise easily -that’s why film stars and sports personalities are easy crowd pullers-rather than impersonal great and good services and works on ground.

However, history teaches us that sustaining the cult status for too long is too demanding on the individual.

This takes a huge toll on such a cult like leader especially in a country like India with frequent elections, constant negative scrutiny by too many stakeholders who have lost the dividends – this includes all status quo addicts and luddites along with a hostile media, multitude of middlemen, the whole chain of corrupt bureaucrats etc.

Our Honourable PM.MODI  has somehow managed till date.

However, it is high time that they need to promote the institution, namely RSS and BJP as the image as well as enablers of delivery of good governance which involves promoting and projecting lot of his capable second line of leaders  whose collective contributions have enabled the success and make them gradually more visible in the radar of recognition and acceptance by the masses.

Otherwise, all the good work done by MODI and his party may end up in failure and the country may go back to square one of corruption and all its concomitant catastrophes.

People are always loaded with greater expectations, easily duped while seeking change for the sake of change, even in all religions people migrate to NRMs be they cults, popular preachers, logical and philosophised sermon narrators away from places of worship just for a change as they feel the traditions and rituals become too trite.

Institutionalising goodness and greatness beyond and besides the charisma, capabilities, cleverness, character, aura, potential etc is vital.

Classic example, in the Indian context, is that despite the fact there were many great saints and sages who imparted great wisdom down the ages and there are mutts with clear-cut well-defined duties that they are carrying out, still a few stand more active and visible, namely Bhagwan Ramakrishna Krishna Paramahamsa’s RKMs started by the great modern  monk Swami Vivekananda, ISKCON, Chinmaya Mission etc. Though there are many others, they are not as effectively visible as these three, especially the first two with proven track record [time-tested], visibility and commercial sustainability as institutions.
