Election time..the time when the contenders lose themselves in the unarticulated magic of the masses and are propelled by their approval and praise. They feel unintruded upon amidst the multitudes of followers who believe in them and their voice sublimates into the public sphere and echos peace and assurance. But something was amiss with Varun Gandhi..The optimistic peace loving philosophy of youth had given up on him and he could only hear the echoes of his phoney illusions in his head which led him to make propostorus statements about religion and politics. It more like Shakespeare tragedies all end based on the flimsiest of evidence.
The Muslims moral groundings are based on the polarities of honor and shame and the Sikhs believe in peace. No religion as such preaches violence but this poetry writing disturbed lad seemed to have a religion of his own. His statements are products not only of his idiosyncratic personal vision but somewhere down the line his upbringing seemed to take a toll. Can we blame Indira Gandhi for this?? Or should we let him roll in the mud of self pity in jail?
His statements developed new fuels out of gossip and like in delhi6 this kalabandhar caused havoc in the nation. The harsh reality of this situation is probably that he was not acting against the morals of society and its beliefs but against the conformation that holds it together. Like mentioned in Kushwant Singhs article this boy was raised by a Muslim and was a pensive poetry writing Gandhi kid…but like they say the snake always sheds its skin and this is what he really is before the plain un-gilted mirror of reality.
(P.S written in throes of malicious and pessimistic thoughts...so its as honest and may i add vindictive as i get)

Its pretty sad that the so called younger generation of politicians seem to worse then seem to just as bad or worse than the ones before them.. hmm whats even more scary is that it looks like religion and communal differences seem to be playing a larger role in political campaigns... arent we suppose to be a secular country..
that aside it nice to see that we are sticking to traditions and still electing ass turds :) and we do keep the entertainment level on a high, if only it were only that...
I love elections :P
I like this mood of urs..:P
Brings out some real good thoughts.
i think its okay to be voting on the lines of religion and community...its the way most democracies work...every man for himself/herself....besides some religions are inherently militant and intolerant and others r aggresively spreading their faith by coercing poor people through their financial might....its time people like varun gandhi showed them that hindus are not the silent majority who bends over and watches their faith being screwed over by all and sundry
i dont think hindus were ever dominated upon and most of the riots that started out be it in gujrat or any place for that matter hindus and muslims had an equal role to play and more so hindus because they r in majority and they claim india to be their nation. but at the end of the day we are secular and noone can make derogatory statements like varun gandhi did. its just wrong.
