The Great Indian Political Wolves !

The battle ground is set, a date decided for the the wolves to strut into the arena and encircle the befuddled prey. The prey is large in size yet its divided attention  has always led to its slaughter. Usually it looks around to find a friendly wolf and hopes it mercifully leads it to safety. Ultimately it perishes due to lack of direction, patience and a sense of resignation. If you have wondered all along how a Billion plus strong Indian population never elected a strong and capable leader after  Independence you have found your answer.

Post Independence India grew up blissfully by handing over the reins to Congress until suddenly one day its people realized that their democratic country was transforming into Monarchy of Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty. The sudden search for alternatives yielded not so attractive options. Slowly the country meandered into a situation where it found most of its neighbors conniving and its leaders napping. Later the country witnessed unrest of reservations and religious divides came to the forefront. Decades passed, and today we fancy ourselves as an economic super power with nuclear power. Hmmm..."Power" is such a strong word - chic to wield , but it turns out we do not know how to use either of these powers. Well enough rants about the government , the billion count population does not use its power to vote too.   

Well do not blame the public immediately, leaving behind the history let us look at the options Indians have in this elections. The major parties are Congress, BJP, Communists and Other Regional parties. Before we go into who to vote for lets look at a little history. The British ruled India with an Iron hand and an Iron boot. They used a smart policy called "Divide and Rule " .  They finally left and handed over the power to people as we chose to be a democratic nation. Now with so many parties around who do you vote for. Every Political party needed a USP a selling point. A Logo and Jingle to market themselves. Wait are they forgetting something? Ahh yes which part of crowd to target? Why would this section vote for them?

Well now the policy was to divide the crowd into sections and hope to garner their votes  and rule. In Short "Divide and Rule". To be very true this is the best strategy to accomplish any task. Few examples to the credit the policy in real life before we proceed to the political parties. Lets start with the metaphor in the first para.

Wolves and Buffalo : Divide attention and Conquer/Rule the Prey

Project Management : Divide Work and Conquer/Rule the Project

British Rule in India : Divide country by regions - make the rulers fight each other - Rule the unintegrated country

Now to the Political parties and their USPs

Communists: 

Divide country in to Economic classes - tell the poor that rich are exploiting you -Conduct strikes so no industries grow - As the rich fight poor - Communists take power and just Rule everything.

Regional Parties : 

Divide Country on basis of language- Tell the people of your region that the other language speaking junta wants to supersede and abolish your culture- Rule in your respective regions.

Finally the Big Two.

BJP:

Divide Country on basis of religion - Tell Hindus that Muslims plan to take over the world by producing lots of kids and finally when their population is big enough they will convert/cut/rape you. - Tell them that only BJP can safeguard their religion and give them chance to rule -  demolish mosques - ban conversion and valentines day(tats my fav) - Fan Riots when Congress rules- Garner all Hindu votes - Rule the Country.

 

Congress: 

Divide Country on basis of religion/caste - Tell everyone BJP is not secular whereas Congress is- Abuse everything that denotes Hinduism in the name of Secularism - Thumb Rule: Even a dog from Nehru-Gandhi household can rule the country - Give sops to minorities in the name of reservations- Divide country on basis of caste and give sops to few vote banks in the name of BCs Reservations - Fan riots when BJP rules- Garner Minority and Moderate Hindu votes - Rule the country.

Well I can go on and on about the pro and cons of  all these parties but I need to mention one particularly about the Big Two. When country is under attack both of them whine in front of all nations. Hold Pakistan responsible and ask their MOM, DAD and Big Brother USA to punish pakistan. Faced with such gutless opportunistic parties on a voting day public wilts in disappointment to choose one worthless leader. Typically on a voting day the illiterate vote for one who gives them liquor or a Hundred rupee note or is a movie star.  The Literate keep away citing triviality and pessimism as reasons. 

However lets make a difference this year vote for your wolf without fail !!

PS: Did you know at-least 5%  of the votes casted are fake and rigged by political parties.
