Mr. Giriraj, will Pakistan approve my citizenship ?

As somebody who has written many anti-modi articles, this piece doesn’t come as a surprise. When i read about Giriraj Singh’s opinion on people not supporting Modi, i was stunned. Surprisingly not by his statement but the fact that i was a Hindu. While i am not somebody who considers her religion her dignity, i was quite confused. Hours of thinking made me realize that Pakistan would possibly deny my entry. 
 

Considering my concern over my religion, i would like to ask for Mr.Giriraj’s help in seeking permission for my stay in Pakistan. I have always wanted to visit Pakistan for its cultural and geographical connection with India, his demand has now given me a chance to fulfil my wish.Now that i am mentally prepared for my tour, i wonder how my fellow beings must be taking it. A mascot of Hinduism, i would also expect Mr.Giriraj to have a word with Pakistan government and make sure that i am not forced to change my religion.

Now that i have established my wish and made my request, another question seems to have made way into my mind. Is the option available to Muslims only? I hope not because that would strip me from our right to choose.

When i told my friends about my decision, they were furious. Disappointed  by their reaction, i decided to write this article to finish the hullabaloo over my change of citizenship. While i have received many reactions over my decision to move, neither of the political parties cared to contact me. Though i expected a call from Mr.Modi, my heart yearned to hear the voice of Rahul Gandhi, sadly neither of that happened.

India-the five letter word has defined my existence since time immemorial. While i might be leaving my country in few days, i would always remember it as my birth place and not as a place of maniacs like Mr.Girija Raj who mistake freedom of speech to freedom of blabbering.

Evolution of the word idiot and its NOTA Connection

India has delivered many intellectuals in the veil of idiots. Politics is one area where the statement applies most accurately, the other being bureaucracy. For a country which warrants individual freedom and diversity, definition of the word idiot become even more important. 

While the fifth phase of 2014 general elections saw high voter turnout , there were few who found their dining halls more comforting than the voting booths. The word 'idiot', here concerns them.

In ancient Greece any person not found voting would be publicly marked and labelled an idiot. It might be a myth as claimed by many but it also describes the word idiot in the most liberal sense. Elections are the essence of democracy, any person denying his right to vote doesn’t just insult democracy but also undermines the importance of rights he possess as a result of it.

Considering the importance of vote and issues citizens have with voting, the Election commission came out with the "none of the other option", NOTA which gives them the right to register a negative opinion. While NOTA doesn’t give you the right to reject all the candidates it enables you to establish your dislike for them.

The connection between idiot and NOTA seems absurd but so does the existence of India which had been ticked off by Englishmen who considered Indians infants in terms of governance.Reflecting upon the nature of Indian political system and its impact , it is time we realise the importance of voting. It might not give us an alternative but it does provide us with a choice.

Gum ka fasana

PC : keepingitequal.com

dil-e-khwahish yeh thi ki unse guftagu kare 
kuch hum kahe kuch unki sune 
li karwat aisi vaqt ne ki sabh kho gaya 
yaadon ki bheed mein dil akela reh gaya
ab toh voh mausam bhi na raha
jisne hume unse milaya tha 
bachi toh bas kadwahat jo aaj bhi panapti hai 
jab yaad aate hai voh lamhe , voh jazbat 
jiski fariyaad kar yeh lab muskurate the 
ab aankhe nam ho jate hai 
khamosh raatein ab unki raah dekhte hai 
aise gae voh ki khawaab bhi soone lagte hai

Is it only about Modi vs Kejriwal for AAP ?

A party conscious of its pitfalls, Aam Aadmi Party's page 49 chapter finished long back. Rediscovering the importance of a reasonable spectator, 'the party of aam' has attempted to strike a chord with the least approached set of population-the middle class. 

Corresponding to celebrating the political revolution in India, Aam Aadmi Party has set a new standard for political celebrities. The party's journey from a need of the middle class to the demand of the elite is not just surprising but also riveting.

Aam Aadmi Party's decision to field a Bollywood actor against BJP President Rajnath Singh has raised many eyebrows. For a party which is as sweeping as its rivals, an experiment like this seems quite intriguing.

Not ruling out the question of 'comprehensive reasoning’, one can't help but wonder why AAP chose an inexperienced; non political face against a veteran. Not one of those to consider their oppositions only 'rivals', this decision of Aam Aadmi Party might downplay its role as the opposition.

 

The party was crafted to empower the common man, influence the moderate voices to nullify the odds of a democracy then why such a premature decision? At a time when the party is churning out to be a wave by beating various election statistical analyses, any decision of AAP can become a cause for its diminution.

Conceivable that sympathies may arise in particular set of population, Aam Aadmi Party has been on an experimenting spree since the beginning. Refusing to address the ambiguities emerging among the population, is the 2014 elections for AAP only about Modi vs Kejriwal ?
