The day a U S couple got arrested for Kissing!
Few Americans know that there
still is a Connecticut law in force in Hartford, which states It is illegal for a
man to kiss his wife on Sunday. At least one American couple couldn't believe itself when the pair were hurled in to a police vehicle for kissing in public on a Sunday!
This bewildered couple was not
in Hartford but was visiting Kerala, an Indian State which takes great pride in
calling itself God’s Own Country, where
laws written by Gods are still Gospel truth.
In fact the local police chief,
who happened to be a lady, was simply enforcing an Indian law which makes it
illegal for anyone to kiss in public on any day, when the couple, unaware of
the local law, kissed before a camera at the request of a journalist who was
covering an unusual event.

The unusual media coverage the
event received in India and the way the whole episode sort of fissile out show
the double standard on morality most Indians can’t shed despite the progress
the country has achieved.
Though initiated by a group of
people with progressive views on liberty and freedom of speech and expression
active on social media, the movement soon gained political overtones inevitable
in one of the politically conscious states of India.
The puritanical moral policing was an act of the
BJP, backed by India’s Hindu religious fundamentalists, who aim to grab the
power from the Congress party who currently govern Kerala.
On the other hand, Kerala’s
communists who are constantly fighting off the BJP has seen a political
opportunity.
The result was that the Kiss of
love event which was organised to be held peacefully was opposed and disturbed
by various organisations under all of these political set ups, forcing the
police to remove the handful of the participants even though the government did
not intent to enforce the law.
The disruption by the political
parties were organised with an eye on the coming election so as to position
themselves on the right side of the kissing divide. But it clearly demonstrates
the hypocrisy of a society which wants to align itself with the free and liberal outside world.
Though this was an isolated
incident which occurred in Kerala, a state politically and socially ahead of rest of the
country, the approach of the BJP which has succeeded in grabbing power at the
national level by unifying and concentrating the votes of the Hindus who form
the majority, in holding on to the archaic social set up of India is what
worries the progressive minded in India.
Incidentally this was reflected
in a cartoon by the New York times on the occasion of the success of India’s
Mars mission, which lead to widespread protests and eventual apology from the paper.
Meanwhile, the Kiss of Love
brigade of Kerala has actually claimed success of their movement and promised
to regroup and continue their efforts to change the social attitude of their countrymen regarding freedom to love and expression
of love.

Did fighting Indian corruption rob Sonia Gandhi’s UPA of victory in the 2014 election?
Amid all that euphoria of the
massive election victory of the BJP, when the whole world was impatiently
watching the steps of its would be Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, what captured
the attention of the media was a bizarre
thanks giving meeting organised by it.
Several senior leaders of the BJP
who won the recent election assembled to felicitate Baba Ramdev, who was conspicuously
absent from the meet and media glare, who helped them win the election by his blessings, which were more mundane than divine.
However the party can neither acknowledge
nor felicitate the sources of the massive funds behind its campaign so openly,
though someday somehow favours will have to be returned. For now, one Indian,
who set out to expose and prevent corruption in India is languishing in the Tiharjail.
Arvind Kejeriwal and his AAP were
broke even before he found he had no money to bail himself out. He had
acknowledged long time back that his party had no funds to take on the NDA and
the UPA in the parliamentary election, a political reality glaring at him he
refused to see before setting out on his mission.

Hello India, Welcome to the Club of Religious Governance!
Let us face it, the Indian
parliament election of 2014 has clearly enrolled India among the countries
ruled by their religious majority where all other religions have only a minority
status.
The Bharathiya Janata Party, a
party widely perceived to be based on
Hindu Ideology and agenda of Hindutwa has won a landslide victory in the
election of 2014, the results of which were announced today. The party has won
a clear majority Of 283 seats and their National Democratic Alliance a total of
337 seats.
It would hardly be of concern if the massive majority was spread across the country because landslides in politics are nothing to write home about.
It is the localisation of the un opposed power of the BJP, as is clear from the CNN IBN graphic which changes the nature of governance of India.
There are no representation of opposition in several states in India, which comprise a large chunk of the Indian population concentrated on an equally large part of the Indian land mass. It is as if India has been physically divided again.

Why Does Its Manifesto Make Not Just the BJP but Everyone Else Too So Nervous?
BJP has finally released a
Manifesto on the election day. The Congress party and others have questioned
the delay and BJP has come with enough plausible explanations which have been
ridiculed by various opponents.
As one congress leader put it, If
the BJP can’t take out a Manifesto in time how are they going to manage the
country’s affairs?
But the real reason for the BJP to be so defensive
and nervous about publishing its manifesto well before the start of the
election instead of putting it off till the last moment is in the Manifesto
itself.
Perhaps the simplest of
explanation is that with the reference to Ayodhya and Article 370, the BJP Manifesto
resembles the proverbial Wolf in Sheep’s clothing.
The BJP was not sure if, for the
one billion voters of India, it will look anything but a dressed up version of
the old wolf they have shunned twice. The party obviously didn’t want to scare
them away by the inevitable media exposure, scrutiny and debate the Manifesto
would have generated in the crucial weeks before the election.
Can India’s Antony Be Its Next Dark Horse Prime Minister?
Let me say this, I barely know
A.K Antony except that we both hail from ‘God’s Own Country’, the little piece
of beautiful land on the tip of the Indian Peninsula, the marvellous beauty of
which is preserved by its anti development politics.
Not a political analysts by any
stretch of Imagination; for that matter not even someone who lives anymore in
the country, there are no pretences of erudition either in this. As a common
man whose eyes and ears are not shut to the abundance of information incessantly
pouring on to the a screen in front of me, I simply exert my fundamental right
to venture a wild guess of my own.
In fact It is Antony’s own words
during a recent campaign which points to this inevitability.
Criticising the Marxist Communist Party, his main political
opposition in Kerala, Antony has predicted that the CPM will be forced to
support the UPA , the ruling alliance to form the next government, as they did in
2004.
The CPM has not only vehemently denied this, but is
strongly harping on the wishful idea of a “Third Font”, a political salad bowl
of nuts, leaves and weeds, hardly palatable to the Indian masses.
Indians are fed up such exotic
diet, meted out to them by several coalitions who only unite to fight and
wither away in the past, lacking common ideology, purpose or will to govern.
The current “Third Front” so far
remains merely as a photo session, with raised and clutched hands of as many
leaders of regional parties as the number of those who want to be the Prime
Minister of India, which has become a ridiculous icon of the fast crumbling
idea of the Union of India.
Nevertheless, manifestation of a political Phobia against the Bharathiya
Janata Party, which has unite the
scattered opposition in the past, is in its highest pitch this time, thanks to
a brazen and aggressive campaign of BJP’s self appointed prime ministerial
candidate Modi himself.
If this manifested in the
previous two elections as a force to prevent the BJP, a party with a hidden Hindutwa
agenda to push minorities to second class, this time it is working as a formidable
force to prevent a dictatorial Modi from grabbing the Prime Ministerial chair
of India.
Abetted by such concerns within
the country’s minorities and even within the BJP itself, various anti Modi
campaigns by various forces, especially by
the newly formed Aam Admi Party of Arvind Kejeriwal, can end up with the Third
Front grabbing a significant number of
parliamentary seats, despite various opinion polls predicting otherwise.
Moreover, the gap between the
results of opinion polls and political reality in Indian parliamentary election
(different from the state elections influenced by local and regional forces), could
be wider, given the massive financial influence exerted on the Indian media
ahead of this year’s election.
All these factors can add up to a
situation quite similar to 2004, as being claimed by Antony, perhaps less rosier
than what is hoped by Rahul Gandhi, his party’s vice president and its potential
nominee for the position of the Prime Minister.
Given the extreme and publicised
ambitions of each of the leaders of the Third Front to become the PM, it is
unlikely that they can agree upon one, especially if the combined strength is
likely to be less than that of the UPA.
It will also be not entirely unrealistic to
expect the two lady Chief Ministers to
keep themselves out of the front, certainly due to the presence of their arch
enemies and in any case as none of their male counterparts will concede them the
coveted position of the Prime Minister.
In such a scenario, the combined
determination of everyone to Keep Modi
out of power, for the good of the nation and their own political survival can crystallise
in to a support of Sonia Gandhi’s UPA in forming the next government.
Rahul Gandhi, the vice president
of the Congress Party is will be , at
best a very reluctant Prime Minister, who will much prefer to be its ideologist
and party builder till at least another election.
In any case, Rahul Gandhi, who
has taken the brunt of the political rhetoric and criticism from each of the
leaders of the Front, (Remember Amul Baby?) is not someone, the elderly Prime
Ministerial aspirants of the front will accept without some heart burn and loss
of face.
That is where A K Antony and his
stature within the party and his consensus building talents will come to the
aid of all Modi haters, perhaps as a silver lining on the dark clouds the next
election threaten to bring over the great nation of India.
If that happens, the leaders of
the CPM which Antony NOW says will have no choice but to support the UPA, will be more than happy to support him, even
forgetting the party ideology.
Many of them, after all, are his compatriots from God’s Own Country.
