Popular people misuse fan following for misdeeds

Beware of those who use eloquence, magic skills, reputation of their parents or ancestors, talent of yoga , success of the business, or success in films, to bring large followers around them and then use that occasion or platform to give political or racially or religiously bigoted sermons on usefulness of being a dumb follower and to further indoctrinate useful public to turn into low quality citizens. Ram Dev, Harsh Goenka, Anand mahindra, Mittals, Rahul Kanwal, Sadguru, SS Ravi, Akshay Kumar, Dhirendra, Pai to name few who use this very jugglery to vitiate societal harmony.

Vile people use social media and other comm channels like television and stage performances to deliver goodies of niceties to make significant crowds of fan following but once surrounded, they actually deliver poison capsuled in sweet candies to intoxicate gullible commoners to follow theirs and their master’s bigotry too.

Judiciary and a democratic nation

Anywhere, in a democratic nation, people don’t elect absolute monarchs or dictators. They elect some officials like Presidents and Prime Ministers and representatives to assemblies who occupy positions defined by set of rules governing a democratic country, which are called the constitution. There has got to be an independent parallel institution to check that these elected guys actually keep their assignments as per constitution and don’t get into thermal run away kind of uncontrolled flare to please a popular vote bank. That is judiciary. It defines and moderates (not controls) the actions of President, Prime Ministers or other elected officials to ensure those remain within limits of constitution. That’s why on that perspective judiciary is indeed powerful and should be so. It’s defiance should be punishable to make it effective.


NPS and market crash

Stock market crash must have impacted NPS and employees’ pension hugely that no one is speaking about. Whether for those in  govt or those in private service, one important very concerning issue should have been continued fall of stock market. 30-40 percent of valuations have been wiped out even from most of the mutual funds. NPS corpus too is market driven and is nothing but actually mutual funds investment only.  And mind it, the bedrock of old age pension or security whatever you call,  had been pension funds particularly NPS. Employees particularly govt employees in states and centre have all future retirement contributions transferred to NPS. NPS as alternative to old pension has been sold with big dreams by govt. There must have been massive devaluation in this corpus of the employees during this crash.  Every employees private or govt must have been hit particularly those who are retiring now.  Most of the people may not be knowing as their direct exposure to market is bare minimum. They will realise it sooner. 


Zelensky and Indian leaders

Laughing at Zelensky is disrespecting bravery. Scores of Indian rulers from Marathas to Rajputs stood against invading forces and we respect them even when we know many got defeated and killed.  We never call them weak immature jokers. There were others who surrendered and gave in and gave even their daughters and wives to invaders to buy so called peace as some of  you most clumsily appear to prefer. They are not our heroes. We admire Indira who showed spine in Oval office and did not buy peace from Nixon and Kissinger on their terms. She rather raised peace on javelin in battle field and gave fitting reply. We must not admire a leader who doesn't give back on being bullied by host. We want strong wiser leader who can look into the eyes of global adversaries and stand for India. We don't want actors who have zero knowledge but have audacity to display infinite stupidity in full public glare. They can only giggle when get humiliated abroad.
