Idea of India

[Prashant Bhushan @pbhushan1]

The govt seems to have made full preparations to evacuate the youth at Jantar Mantar by force last night using para military forces, but seeing the enormous crowds there along with politicians & celebrities, it seems there was a rethink & they desisted.
This govt feels, it can ignore public opinion since they have the main institutions like the Judiciary, Media and ECI under their control. But they forget that public opinion affects many people in those institutions too. Moreover, history is littered with examples of how people overthrew dictatorial govts by revolutions when they ignored public opinion & used brute force on the people

Ownership of Ram Temple & its politics was a huge advantage for Modi and Sangh Parivar. After what has happened in Ayodhya it can become a millstone around their neck. One can see it happening.

The year was 1985. Gorbachev had just been elected. The world didn’t know yet if this meant the end the cold war.
PM Rajiv Gandhi lands in the United States. Still just 40. Only 7 months into office. Critics barking at his door. He faced a US government deeply suspicious of Indo Soviet ties, an American public, contemptuous of socialism and a belligerent press.
Then Rajiv Gandhi did something very rare for a global press event. He took on the world’s press. Completely unscripted. When he was done he had changed the dynamic forever. He gave the world a new modern dynamic India, unafraid of the geopolitical transition the world was in. An India, the world had not seen before. A masterclass in diplomacy - read and be astounded-

Question : Mr. Prime Minister, India claims to be non-aligned, yet your first official trip abroad was to the Soviet Union, and you have consistently supported their positions. Isn't India actually tilted heavily towards Moscow..??

Rajiv Gandhi : We will not be tied to the apron strings of any major power. We do not lean left or right. India always stands up straight. We look at things on their merits. Our friendship with the Soviet Union is time tested. They have stood by us in times of need. But I don't think our friendship with one country should be at the cost of friendship with another.

Question: India has already detonated a nuclear device in 1974. With Pakistan reportedly developing a bomb, can you tell us plainly, does India currently have nuclear weapons, or are you secretly building one..??

Rajiv Gandhi : We do not have a nuclear bomb. We have no intention of making a nuclear bomb. We are a peaceful nation. But let me also make it clear that if we are forced into a corner, and if our security is threatened by a nuclear neighbor, we will have to rethink our options. But we hope it never comes to that point.

Question : India is a poor country that relies heavily on foreign aid. Yet, your government spends vast amounts of money on heavy military equipment and defense. How do you justify this to your citizens..??

Rajiv Gandhi : We do not want to spend a single paisa on defense that could otherwise go into building a school, a hospital, or a road. But look at our neighborhood. When highly sophisticated weapons, far beyond the legitimate defense needs of a country, are pumped into our region, we have no choice but to protect our borders. Security cannot be compromised for development, because without security, there is no development.

Question: In light of the horrific Union Carbide chemical disaster in Bhopal just a few months ago, do you feel American corporations cannot be trusted, and will this hurt US investments in India..??

Rajiv Gandhi : Bhopal was a terrible tragedy, and it showed a gross disregard for safety standards that would never be permitted even in the United States. There must be equal responsibility and accountability for human lives, whether in America or in India. However, this does not mean India is closing its doors to foreign technology. We want American technology and investments, but we also want corporations that respect our laws and our people.

Question : Did you bring any message to Washington from Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.

Rajiv Gandhi : No, we have not brought any message from Arafat or anyone else. We try not to be messengers." PERIOD

@AnjaliMody1 @ActorjVijay @RahulGandhi @TVKVijayHQ He in "Ranade, Gandhi and Jinnah" Ambedkar wrote, "The Puranas and Shastras which he (Brahmin) manufactured in tons are treasure trove of of sharp practices which the Brahmins employed to befool, begile, and swindle the common mass of poor illiterate and superstitious Hindus".
