Renown cricket commentator Harsh Bhogle is not an excellent
cricketer himself. Yet he is regarded as one of the best Cricket commentators
and sports journalists.
In one of his speeches, he said, “If anything stops
Indian Cricketers from becoming 'good' to 'great', then that's
ONE question - 'How much Cricket have you played?'. When I entered into this
profession, Everyone asked me this question - 'How much Cricket have you played?'”.
According to Harsha, this arrogance of Indian Cricketers has
prevented Indian Cricket (and cricketers themselves) from becoming ‘Great’ from just
‘good’.
Same applies to Political and Social Activists of India.
The “arrogance” of these activists is preventing our India
from becoming a “Great Nation”.
Let them be BJP activists or AAPians…the moment you ask,
demand, suggest something – they, instead of understanding your point of
concern, counter question you – How much Politics have you played?
So according to these activists, a neutral person has no
right of asking Qs. You MUST get into the “Rajneetee Kaa Kichad” if you are to
ask anything. FYI, the “Rajneetee Kaa Kichad” is a favorite quote of one of my AAPian friends.
These AAP guys run away as fast as they can when you ask valid
Qs about Swaraj and JanLokpal Bill. They completely ignore you when you inform
them that their leader, Mr. Kejriwal had PROMISED Right To Recall on Lokpal in
his book Swaraj but he DID NOT put any such clause in JanLokpal Bill. So, these
AAPian champs don’t know anything about their own agendas, nor do they have
guts to ask these Qs to their seniors – but – they feel no shame when they say,
“Who will you vote for, if not AAP? Crooks like Congress and BJP?”
A senior activist leader of BJP said to me, “Why should we
listen to people like you? You are neither BJP supporters nor Congress’. People
like you just shout about pits on the roads”. I was like…WTH ? Is it an
outright necessity to be either a BJP Supporter or Congress Bhagat? How
about being A DESHBHAKT ? And anyways – we have never heard of any BJP
activists marching in a morcha in BJP’s constituency demanding to improve the
roads. It’s people like us – who shout about pits – who force netaas to do the
job.
Similar is the case with self-proclaimed Hindutvawadis and
Samaantaawadis. Ironically, they become opponents ! How can True Hindutva and
True Samaantaa (keeping pseudo-hindutva and blind hatred towards few castes in
the name of Samaantaa aside) be different from each other ? But you try
explaining this as a neutral, third-person point of view and you get abused as
being ‘Sickular’, laughed at your progressive mindset and are termed as Congressi.
Hey Ram !
Not just India – throughout the world – all positive Vyavastha
Parivartans have been achieved by those nationalists who have refrained
themselves from any “ism”s and stuck to the points.
Unless our activists get this – it’s going to be a dark
night on the horizon of India’s destiny.
