From Diwali Tremors to Global Shifts

-



Diwali was celebrated in India and across the world in all its splendor. This time around, the Ramayana Part 1 movie added to the festival vibes. But the festival of lights has long become the festival of extreme noise, with loud crackers being burst all around. I am not against crackers. But is this much noise healthy for anyone, including the animals whom we claim to love and keep as pets? People should use crackers which burst into colors and mesmerizing images, in my opinion.

Anyway, as it happened, the crackers were so loud that the tremors were felt as far as the US and Israel. This comes as mid-term election results in the US put the brakes on Trump's legendary flip-flops and 'shoot everyone to win a Nobel Prize' logic. Today, Trump announced that there won't be any more attacks on Iran as of now. Of course, a new attack could happen in a matter of minutes after his announcement. Such is the current US President's credibility.

While in Israel, the election results were not really surprising. They have a history of a hung Knesset. As of now, it seems a nationalist government is on the anvil, with both Eisenkot and Netanyahu forced to join hands. If, on the other hand, Eisenkot chooses to join the so-called Arab Parties, it will be a huge risk for the former IDF Chief—one that could very well end up with a catastrophic result. Also, with many countries in Europe paying a hefty price for their open-door migrant policies, Eisenkot would do well to not be the one who allowed the so-called Arabs to be a part of the Israeli government.

Not every leader or party can pull off what the BJP did when it tied up with Mehbooba Mufti's PDP in Kashmir. There, it led to the abrogation of Article 370, suspension of full statehood, and the bifurcation of the state.

Today, Diwali is being celebrated in Kashmir's Lal Chowk with no untoward incidents. This is the same Lal Chowk where Modi Ji had hoisted the Tricolor on 26th January 1992, defying the threat issued by terror organizations.

Modi Ji has seen 3 US Presidents, 6 UK Prime Ministers, 9 French Prime Ministers and 2 Presidents, 3 German Chancellors, 5 Italian Presidents, and he is poised to see many more, while he holds firm as the Prime Minister of Bharat.

The thirsty mallus...

The nation was anxiously watching the first phase of elections yesterday. We Keralites also had the opportunity to have our say on the future of this nation. But, for us it was also a long holiday from 9 th of April till the 16 th with only two working days in between on 13 th and 15 th . It was festival season.  This has caused lot of hardships to common man. Personally, I got a taste of the same when we ran out of the cooking gas (Spic) on 15 th morning. The gas agency remained closed on 15 th and 16 th . I got the new cylinder delivered just 10 minutes ago. Since I was alone at home, I had food from outside. But the real challenge was the drinking water. There was no way to get the water boiled, and I had to buy the costly mineral water. I do feel that the Election Commission, the political parties and the other concerned authorities should keep in mind such factors while fixing election dates.  While I was thirsty for the drinking water, many of my fellow mallus were thirs...

The national media ignoring critical issues....

We Keralites often complain about the step-motherly treatment meted out to our little state by the Central Government. Even when all the twenty MPs from our state were supporting the UPA government, the trend didn’t change. Especially when it comes to the Railways, Kerala has never got even a fair hearing so far. To my dismay, I find that it is not only the government that is ignoring my state. It is the national media as well.   In the era of electronic media, I often feel that the main stream news channels often ignore the significant happenings in the Kerala politics. One has to remember that Kerala has always been a social and political laboratory. From the world’s first democratically elected Communist Government to the successful coalition politics, we have always been the pioneers for others to follow. In this context, the mainstream media has failed to grasp the importance of two happenings in Kerala, this election season.   The dangerous game that the CPI(M)(read as its st...

THE TIGER IS ON THE MOVE

My nation celebrated 79th Independence Day on 15th August. The Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi hoisted the tricolor and addressed the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort. This year's speech had a strong undercurrent of a confident country on the move. Since last few years, Bharath has adopted the Nation First Policy and has followed it unabashedly. To put it bluntly, we do not care what other countries preach. We have a nation to build and we are steadfastly doing it brick by brick. Tariffs, sanctions and other punitive measures can not deter us from our path. And yes, if the world force us to fight a war, we are ready.  The worrisome factor is irresponsible opposition that we have elected. Raul Vinci has long since been engaged in destructive politics. But, we have the RSS to serve and save our nation from such demonic conspirators. The Prime Minister mentioning RSS in his Independence Day speech is a fitting tribute to the world's biggest social organization.
