Dear Prime Minister,
Wish you a very Happy Independence Day. Have you realized this Sir- 63 years of Independence and we’re yet to be free. After all Independence is not synonymous to Freedom. You’re independent enough to be the most powerful person of this country, but are you free enough to make decisions for better India, which you aspire to (now this later part is just an hypothesis). Hope one day we all will be truly free. Hope, naah… Fools hope!
I’m sure your speech on the eve contains all right things you’ve accomplished in your tenure and what else you’d like to accomplish. So I thought of reminding you of what else your government has achieved.
Let’s begin with the latest- congrats to you and the CWG team for hosting Common Wealth Games. I know this is a bit premature, but am not very sure if Kalmadi Sir will present me with this opportunity later. I mean it’s great for a nation with no sporting spirit to invest 40K Crore Rupees in hosting such great games. (Apologies for not using your new designed symbol for Rupee. By the way, I’m really excited on our new currency symbol. Earlier, we’d Rupees written before a tainted minister’s scam, now Ra will replace it. A sure feather in your cap) We Indians fancy comparing ourselves with China, day in day out. But the truth is stranger than fiction, isn’t it? Just to remind you, China had instigated this culture within the country before hosting the Olympics. That’s the reason they won the highest number of gold medals where Indians carried pride for winning one. So my suggestion to you is listen to Mani Shankar Aiyar Sir and do not commit such mistakes again. Come on, you guys have so many other means of hoarding wealth, least you can make sure is this is not done at the cost of country’s pride.
I’d also like to congratulate you on the way you’ve handled Maoism. Congrats for Salwa Judum, which has led to the employment of 12000 Special Police Officers, surprisingly below 18 years of age!! What an irony for a government which plans to uproot child labour. But then that’s not the highlight of your achievement. What stands apart is the way you’ve handled the Adivasis in Chattisgarh. Burnt their farms, killed them, so that they move out, and multi-nationals can then carry mining operations. As a matter of fact I support it. They should face the music for choosing such an errant government. And this is all important Sir. People will die, but our 7% GDP should not be hindered. Only word of advice on the current CRPF exercise to our Stanford educated Home Minister- its high time we stop borrowing American ideas. I doubt if they’ll work, and I’m sure so do you. It’s very easy for anyone to read written condolence messages. What matters is having a right team and execution plan in place before making funny comments like- Maoists will be eradicated by 2012. Or are you betting on the Mayen calendar which predicted end of world?
I also heard that our ambitious mission to put Indians on the moon is in full swing. Congrats Sirji. Serious achievement for a country which is still held back by diseases which other countries have eradicated long back. A country which fails to find the right direction in small issues like same gotra marriages and honour killing, is successfully tracking the trajectory to moon. And did I mention the fact that we’ve highest number of illiterates in world. Way to go! My only question is who that person will be- A Hindu, a Muslim, SC, ST, who?Are you planning to bring this under reservations? Astounding that we’re planning to capture the moon, where here we’re losing foot on our own soil. China is encroaching our border foot-by-foot, yard-by-yard. Separatists from Kashmir are asking us to Pak-in our army. But then probably what you’re doing is right. With these hideous revolting neighbours,the only place where we all could rest in piece, I mean peace, would be on the moon. What an idea, Sirji!!
Your government has said that we’ll be achieving 7%+ GDP. I don’t know how you manage to pull out these magical figures, considering that 400 million people are scorching under poverty. Great for a country, once known as an agrarian economy, whose architects are now left to commit suicide. But that’s not the only thing you achieved, right? You also managed to sustain high inflation. So what costed me 12 Rupees a while ago, is now costing me 40. And all you’ve managed to give me is another poly-tickle hope. I'm living (read leaving) the dream!
The list is endless- Jagdish Tytler getting clean cheat for Sikh genocide, Raja getting clean cheat for 3G scam of whopping 70k crore,the way you’ve handled the Telangana issue,the nuclear deal, Afzal guru case, Bombay attacks, Bt Brinjal, reservations...and the list is endless.
I’m sure you’ll speak on none of these in your speech today. What you’ll do is paint another rosy picture, which is as fictitious as our notion that you’re heading this country and not the high command.
Paint it yellow! Azadi mubarak ho!
Best,
Abhishek
Just another common man with nothing in capitals...
