Is it the start of the end to the Aam Admi Party (AAP)?

Not in very distant past.... hardly one week back... my prediction was 'AAP can't live long'. That seems to be nearing very fast. If some thing raises very quickly, it short lives. The law of Nature. The chances of AAP surviving in its present form are very bleak. Akshay Kumar of the Firstpost analysed it very simple and clear. I have discussed 'Group dynamics' in this blog earlier. According to this, to make a strong group or organisation one requires a lot of time. Individual ideologies of the members need to talk to each other and should evolve together. And it needs sufficient time for bonding ideas. If the initial differences are week then the struggle between members end smoothly. If the ideologies of the individual members have already evolved strongly in different directions and if some one tries to bring those idealists together the storm will not lost that smoothly. This was apparent when Mrinalini Sarabhai and Kumar Vishwas of AAP slammed each other.  If the initial differences die down soon then there occurs in future another ideological turbulence. If the foundations are strong, those differences too can be overthrown. The concrete slab cannot become stronger if not cooled down with water and sufficient time.  Same theory applies here. Foundation wise for AAP, ati-corruption plank is the only base. It suits for a social awareness organization, where it doesn't deal with huge amounts of money. But politics are highly susceptible to corruption. Any organization to succeed it requires members to display selflessness. One can't find selfless people on every street and corner. The people who joined AAP in lakhs in last few weeks can't all be anti-greedy. They all are Indians, 99% of the people in the world are greedy. 99.9% of the people in India are greedy. If AAP able to garner lakhs of party membership subscriptions and prominent people from media, business and several NGOs within days soon after its Delhi win.... how many of them are non-greedy with flexible ideologies? Does anyone really say those who all joined after Delhi win are not opportunistic? Then how one can say, if really wanted, this fragile AAP will live longer?

Need of the hour- At least reduce corruption if not remove completely... It is in everyone's hand....

It may be considered as a continuation of my earlier post Corruption - Not a bad thing... But a kind of sickness.
India is in turbulence. The powerful institutions of India such as Central and state Gvt.s, Media and Intelligence agencies have not functioned properly. May be they were functioned earlier but not now....
The reason is well known. 'Intelligent illiteracy' or 'corruption bound illiteracy'. Corruption is rooted from the bottom of bureaucracy to top of the top heads of India. Every institution is suffering from some sort of bureaucracy. No one can blame a single person for this. It is resultant of collective actions of all citizens. There need to be lots of guts to not accept or to give bribes to others, the trait which we usually refuse to wear.
We, the common man as well intellectuals of different departments usually wear the 'Burqa of innocence' at several occasions. If someone tries to reveal the truth- the mostly touched ones react violently. That's what we are seeing now a days if we follow the news after Narendra Modi's 'veil' comment on Congress. Modi said the cover is of secularism. It is well understood by common man if we replace it with 'innocence'.
Why so....
Well... it is nature of human being... We do lot of mistakes and if someone notice it we defend it in several means... In past years we had seen so may examples such as in some occasions few notable people saying ' because I came from 'lower cast' or because I came from minority'. In everyday life anyone can find several instances of such ones themselves use to cover their mistakes.
Wearing 'secular burqa' or 'veil of innocence' is not entirely a bad thing or blunder or a sin. Some times it may take lives if we don't wear it. But if someone wears it throughout his or her life... God knows what's the purpose of their lives... It not only hurts those individuals but it affects the system surrounding them badly. If majority people in the society practice this habit... it better be called as a cinema rather than a society. Because everyone acts there. There is no chance to live life. So the irregularities in society... Lot of dirty places in towns. Wherever you see you find a lot of dust piles on streets as well as in the minds of people.
If someone ask for change or want to lead to change... only fools can deny the deal....
It is good for everyone. If an incorruptible person is showing the way how to lead a incorruptible life in a environment which is entirely unsuitable for it.... don't we agree there is something to learn and to listen?
So please spread the word... At least help to unravel the Corruption less society if not you able to lead it from the front....

The sin of India- Politicians and Mainstream media

Once I heard a criticism about Indians by Indians that Indians usually spend their time on seriously debating on small things such as 'How the colour of Cow's tail is going to affect the fortunes of a person when he takes that Cow on his house opening ceremony', 'How going to Baba temple yields fortunes- after taking bath or without bath?' and 'How one has to speak and how he shouldn't have talked on this thing or that thing- in this way or that way...'
When I see recent slugfest by media persons, who were thought to be cream of Indian professional think tank (eg. 1 by FirstPost, 2 by Times of India, 3 by NDTV  and soooo oooon), in the same tone of politicians of India, those who were deemed not only corrupt but also opportunistic with a single puppy comment of Narendra Modi, I have to concede that Indian psyche nowhere near to improving its state of mentality if there is no criminal thought behind this slugfest.
It is known truth, no politician in today's India is no greater than a street thief. They do in their way whatever they want to do and bend their tongue in whatever way it suits improving their situation whenever they caught. But it is sad to know that Aam Admi of India is increasingly in a belief that our mainstream media along with some notable intellectuals increasingly falling prey for political virus.
In the modern days media is heart of a nation. It is the representative of the people and the psyche of Nation.  It should lead the people giving the right direction to them by knowing what is right to do for the sake of country. Media persons seems to be earning for their food and stay not for their country's good and state. But they are the best people who can easily understand that their this kind of approach cannot serve not only their country but themselves too for long.
This is widely played game. If you play for your team, your team gets prize money and you also get a chance to win man of the match. But if you play for your personal records ignoring group benefits- eventually your chances will die along with your team.
Debate on what's useful for country not your TRPs. Debate on what's hurting the country most, not what's hurting you and your boss. Create a potential which attracts more creative views to improve the state of state, but not to improve the TRP of channel by twisting few comments.
