Rahul Gandhi
regaled the nation with the threat of an earthquake-like assault on PM
Modi. Far from an earthquake, there was
not even a wind that could stir the slenderest willow stem. That’s one of the deadliest tragedies the
country is facing today: no opposition worth the name.
In Kerala
where I now live there is a species of birds whose Malayalam name translates as
‘Bum-shaking bird’. This little bird’s
bum keeps on shaking whenever it alights from flight. The typical Malayali humour has it that the
Bum-shaker thinks that there is an earthquake because it shakes its tail. Rahul Gandhi has become the Bum-shaker of
contemporary Indian politics.

There’s
something called Game Theory in higher mathematics. It analyses the strategies for dealing with
competitive situations where the outcome of a participant’s choice of action
depends critically on the actions of other participants. The theory explains how in multi-player
systems, views and behaviour patterns that harm all players manage to take root and spread.
India is
currently passing through a phase in which everyone seems to be becoming a
loser. The dictator in Mr Modi along
with his co-players such as the Chief Justice and power heads like Amit Shah is
converting the entire country into a gigantic puppet show. There seems to be no sign of any winners in
this show. People like Rahul Gandhi who,
being in the Opposition, should be playing a responsible role to put the nation
back on the healthy track of democracy have
become comic Bum-shakers. It’s a
pathetic situation indeed.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the interest in my writing. I've responded via whatsapp. Please check.
DeleteYou are absolutely right Sir. The prime minister of India has taken the entire nation to ransom. A revolution is required against his fascism but there is not even a reasonable opposition or a noticeable movement in this context. If our so-called democracy is to survive, we need a potent opposition to take on the high-handedness and the dictatorship of the rulers. The absence of the same is badly felt at this moment.
ReplyDeleteIndira Gandhi's new avatar is what we have today in the Centre.
DeleteSpeaking to the media, he said he wasn’t given a reason for being arrested, and that the same was done to him in Uttar Pradesh as well. Earlier in the day, the police had maintained that they would not permit Gandhi to visit the district. The Congress leader reached Udaipur, Rajasthan, before leaving for MP by road. In Nimaheda town, in Chittorgarh district, he rode pillion for nearly 7 kilometres to reach the MP border. From there, he walked to the border, where he was taken into preventive custody.
