Politics of Love and Anger



Politics is ever changing and new thoughts, issues, slogans and narrative are coined regularly. The latest narrative being coined by Rahul ji is about politics of love and anger.

“We shall defeat Modiji’s politics of anger by love”.

First of all, let us understand politics of “anger” and what is the origin. India got independent on 1947 and since then India has been growing with its own pace. There has been all around development but pace of development has been very slow. As a result of this even today 30% people live below poverty line and 80% of the total wealth lies with 10% of population. Forget about education, health, shelter etc India could not even provide toilet to all its countrymen in last 70 years. This is the achievement of last 70 years. Should we get angry at this pace of development? Why India could not increase the speed of development? Probably India believed in politics of “love”. Everyone was dealt with love. No one had any accountability. Everyone was free to take his share of undue advantage if he can. Corruption become the way of life and some people think that corruption is their right. Why so? We were following the politics of “Love”.

Even today, the maximum punishment for bureaucrats who do not do their job efficiently is “Transfer”. A big number of people are angry with way India works but could not do much because India was following politics of love. You scratch my back and I yours, let the public go to hell. Every decision maker, from top to bottom, exploited the powers endowed on to him.

I am happy that the first-time politics of anger is being practiced. The government machinery is being forced to do what they have to do. There is more focus of delivery. Previous governments just announced some or other projects and they used to take ages to complete. You will be surprised to know that “Ambedkar Bhawan” which was inaugurated by PM Modi few days back and for which he invited “Neech” comment was started 17 years before. Why it took 17 years? Simply due to politics of “love”.

I agree and endorse Modiji’s politics of anger. If “anger” can make India a better place to live then let it be. I do believe that anger is one emotion, if channelized constructively, can bring in fantastic results. We all should be angry when people do not do their work, we all should be angry when people defecate in open, we all should be angry when government officials ask for bribe, we all should be angry politicians are allowed to get away with any wrong doing. In fact, the politics of “love” simply means encouragement of corruption and absolution from any accountability and responsibility.


The biggest irony is that, in search for politics of love, the politics of hate has taken the center stage. I have never seen so much hatred and animosity among political adversaries. Political adversaries have now become enemies and this must be corrected. Government is run jointly by ruling and opposition parties and both must not abdicate the responsibility of running the government.

Impact of new Economic Initiatives on Human Development Index

I believe that no rules or laws are good enough to trigger the behavioral changes. Behavioral changes in Indian society of 120 crore people is the most difficult task for any government. The present government tried to influence the behaviour by implementing Clean India mission but still a long way to go.  Though most of economic initiatives of Indian government were aimed at arresting circulation of black money and improve tax collection but its side effects are much more encouraging. Oppositions parties are shouting on top of their voice to raise concerns about state of economy but are unable to visualize the real changes on the ground. I can visualize effects of new economic initiatives on the spending behavior of common Indian citizen. All sections of society are impacted my some or other economic policies. The economic policy can be designed for any purpose but results in curbing circulation of black money and when ever circulation of black money is curbed, it will be felt b

HAPPY ENDING – Happy ending is integral part of Indian philosophy.

Finally CBI court has given judgement on criminal culpability in 2G case. As expected no one was found guilty and all accused acquitted from all charges. The CBI court took seven years to arrive at this decision. This decision has strengthened peoples believe that our judicial system, investigating agencies and government in power do not have enough will power and teeth to solve corruption cases. It has really shattered India. Irony is that this verdict has come after supreme court has found allocation of 2G spectrum arbitrary and had cancelled all 122 allocations. I am really happy that re-auction of spectrum has fetched more than 1.70 lakh crores therefore all monetary losses have been recovered back. Let us talk a bit more about corruption.  The corruption has been the key issue during last 30 years or so and people have voted to root out corrupt governments and install a new government. First and foremost major corruption issue was Bofors deal and congress government was disl
