The danger of elected ones succumbing to populism and subverting the very basis of the system they get elected by, has been a known downside of representative democracies. To check that only, other independent wings of control, moderation and justice had been created the world over. Those who are expected to be wise must speak with responsibility and before that must get elected themselves.

Sham Patriotism
Patriotism has distinct value it stands for and the context it arises from strengthens the very foundation a nation exists from. The same passion when turned into jingoistic canard and misused to relate fallacious symbols and characters to identify patriotism starts to gnaw at very basis of a nation. Those who are bullying people on social media for the different views they possess and have courage to express , are doing harm to the cause they think they espouse. What these activists think defines patriotism may actually be anti-nationalism for what causes harm to nation would be called always so.

Selling Ayurvedic potions on TV : my foot
It's become common to assume fallacious logic that Ayurvedic medicines have no side effect. What's proof for that? Even if some traditional medicines don't have such effects, what's guarantee that every small trader who is making these mixtures in his backyard is following hygiene and required procedural practices?
Any concoction made of vegetables , bones, trees, mud, minerals can't be Ayurvedic. If that's true, which Allopathic medicines is not Ayurvedic medicine. All have some kind of mineral, plant and animal extracts, yes, but scientifically proven. Religion and tradition are turning into tools of convenience in hand of fraudsters.
There has been in recent months flood of new TV channels calling themselves News or spiritual Channels but in practice running marketing campaigns for variety of magical remedies. They sell all kind of rejuvenating medicines in name of Ayurveda. Their Ayurvedic packs are projected as religiously sanctioned medicines which have no side effect. They even openly call public to avoid modern medicines.
How these people can sell medicines on TV under which law? It's illegal to sell medicines like that. These marketing programmes on television channels selling these medicines are generally laced with religious symbols and mantras to attract and fool gullible public.
For a proven modern medicine, it takes sometimes 10-20 years to get sanctions and approvals to come to market that too on prescription. Here we are giving every tom open license to sell any concoction in name of Ayurveda!!. How and where they prepare these medicines and who approves them? Stop this.
Pol-BOTs: gullible section of social media activists
Internet and social media illiteracy coupled with ignorance as to how hired tech-marketeers manage TRENDS and not knowing how easy it is to do so , is creating trolls out of gullible section of intelligentsia.
In tech-world BOTs are programs which can be controlled remotely and made to perform rogue operations like attacking other servers/computers. In thousand , these BOTs can be simultaneously made to attack servers to crash them. The computers themselves don't know that they are participating in such attacks.
Pol-BOTs are politically active on social media but don't know that they are gullible tools being manipulated remotely. Like internet BOTs, politically susceptible social media activists are used by remote controls without their knowledge to attack political targets.
I have reason to hope that this will not last long as never earlier group-hallucinations have lasted.
Babu, you deserve and we lose
They are excellent babus.
For couple of centuries they have perhaps been groomed in this art and have proven themselves deservingly competent in this star profession. The result is that they occupy large chunk of top posts in govt and govt owned businesses.
The ladder they climb to reach there is not necessarily technical or field specific professional excellence , but having occupied most of the career postings in executive offices of senior bosses.
Charming superiors with offers of cosiness, through their babudum skills, they make themselves handsomely eligible for quick promotions. That's their success.
Preparing reports and presentations on the real works done by hard core professionals working in far field and remote projects , they get credit by merely projecting performance of others and making that appear their success.
For demeanour, they mask their true self . Some wear suits and jackets even during sweltering summer in office and bend more then necessary while greeting seniors, especially those who matter.
And some have skill to wear intellectual look to appear deservingly genuine claimant to the credits belonging in reality to someone else.
They get the rewards.
Women's Choice:
Possibility of having choice is more empowering than actually choosing.
What woman today genuinely aspire is being able to choose.
Legitimacy, legality, social acceptance are subsequent matters of applying worldly rationale to those choices before actually going ahead.
Man always held that empowerment.
What women aspire today is to have choice and control over that choice.
