The return of the fragrance of jasmine of India.
“I am alive today, I may not be there tomorrow. I shall continue to serve till my last breath and when I die every drop of my blood will strengthen India and keep a united India alive.” Indira Gandhi.
No one had called Indira Gandhi
the jasmine of India. But just when the
ideal of a United India which she nurtured, toiled a lifetime and eventually gave
her life for seems to be falling apart,
there is some refreshing fragrance of
hope emanating from Indira’s own flesh and blood.
It is as if Indira Gandhi, who had
made millions feel immensely proud to be Indian while she was alive, has cast a
spell on her grant daughter Priyanka Gandhi. A magical yet mesmerising spell
which even Priyanka seems to be unaware of, something only those who lived in the
times of Indira can discern.
Such is the simplicity of a few words
she spoke recently, manner and mannerism with which she has delivered them, the
confidence she has exuded while delivering them and the immense destructive
power with which they have destroyed the fake facade she had hit them with, all
reminiscent of her grant mother, that one may be excused to indulge in spells
and charms and nostalgic glory of India.

The North South Divide of India Narendra Modi Can Bring Back.
Everyone agrees that the self
appointed next Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is a fragmenting
character. Did the US Ambassador to India, Nancy Powell see the writings on the
wall and decided to throw in the towel because Washington won’t see?
Can the United States and the
rest of the world, already beleaguered by a divisive and aggressive Putin in
Europe, deal with a North South divide of a strong India, a guarantee against aggressive
China, on top of all other kinds of splintering Narendra Modi seems to have
abetted so far?
To list out the divisions Modi
has achieved so far, critics can point out his hype of Gujarat Model
Development, his professed Urban support base, his orchestrated cyber follower
base, the blind admiration of young techies he has mustered and numerous other
factors which the rest of India lack, as Modi’s own versus the rest of India
which divide the fabric of India in some
undesirable way.
“Give me three hundred seats and I will empower
the nation” Narendra Modi , who has so
far been refused a US visa on account of his role in 2002 religious riots in
Gujarat, has stated in a pre election speech.

Why Does Its Manifesto Make Not Just the BJP but Everyone Else Too So Nervous?
BJP has finally released a
Manifesto on the election day. The Congress party and others have questioned
the delay and BJP has come with enough plausible explanations which have been
ridiculed by various opponents.
As one congress leader put it, If
the BJP can’t take out a Manifesto in time how are they going to manage the
country’s affairs?
But the real reason for the BJP to be so defensive
and nervous about publishing its manifesto well before the start of the
election instead of putting it off till the last moment is in the Manifesto
itself.
Perhaps the simplest of
explanation is that with the reference to Ayodhya and Article 370, the BJP Manifesto
resembles the proverbial Wolf in Sheep’s clothing.
The BJP was not sure if, for the
one billion voters of India, it will look anything but a dressed up version of
the old wolf they have shunned twice. The party obviously didn’t want to scare
them away by the inevitable media exposure, scrutiny and debate the Manifesto
would have generated in the crucial weeks before the election.
