The Banana Republic of India

The Banana Republic of India.

Oh yeah, I am not allowed to say anything against Him. Well, you know Whom?
That guy who wears a Nahawarlal Jehru straight-jacket. A straight-jacket that suits him and his mentality so well that it leaves you wondering who defines whom.
Whatay pity I say.
He has Constitutional immunity apparently.
And one is not allowed to even venture a comment on his integrity. Or the lack thereof.
So, he has been elected as the Resident of India.
How I wish he stayed at home. That would suit his title so well. And would do the country so much good.

For it is better to not be governed than be misgoverned. Better to be left alone than be looted, cheated, defrauded and humiliated in the name of government policy.

And why are we a Banana Republic? Well, it goes beyond the likes of the Resident, the Mime Minister or the Whereperson of the United Regressive Alliance.

Look at how our Cabinet and the Parliament pass a bill to make a retrospective amendment to an Income Tax act.
Retrospective amendments are not new. But we have rarely had an instance earlier where a Supreme Court judgment has been effectively rendered impotent through a retrospective amendment.

Sigh!

And the likes of Ushil Umar Hinde. When he is the Power minister, we have been rendered powerless.
He is apparently touted to be the Home Minister after C. Pidambaram becomes the Finance Minister.
Nice.
We will all become homeless.

And I rather not comment on what will become of Finance. Or whatever little has been left of it after all the lakh crore rupee scams.

We are not a Banana republic. We're yet to recover from a delayed monsoon that might just get worse.
So, no bananas either. Wait and watch until the dust from the retreating delayed monsoons has settled.
Oh, Karnataka's god-humiliating MLA's are spending crores on appeasing rain gods and are undertaking family trips abroad with family and extended illegitimate families. All in the name of God.

Amen.

Of elected meddlers, criminal ministers, members of parley-a-mint and legis-late-ive ass-semblies.

My respectful salutations of gratitude to all elected meddlers, criminal ministers, members of parley-a-mint and legis-late-ive ass-semblies.

So, Dr. Sapil Kibal has successfully put together the "One Nation One Test" funda that claims innocently and somewhat stupidly to make state government higher secondary education more relevant. And if that claim were not nausea or laughter inducing enough, he has further vomited to the press, the election-oriented claim of making coaching centres less valid.

I'm sorry to tell you Mr. Kibal, that both claims fall flat on their face.

Please take a look at the coaching centres' marketing around coaching students for both the entrance test and the board exams as part of a "package offer".
As regards making state board education more relevant, the nation and its youth would have genuflected in respect, admiration and awe if you had made true efforts towards reform that is long due, just the way it is, has been and will probably be for years to come.

Long due. Longer than the Indian Cash-on-all Nongress has been in power.

And since you were untiring in your efforts to make a huge drama about reforms in areas where there is some form despite the government's best efforts, you moved onto school education.
This is because you wanted to focus your meddling on spoiling the form that exists rather than lend some form to the shapeless areas of education.
Because, reform is more important than form you see.
Just the way form is more important than content.


So, you have now legislated a quota system for recommendations to the When-do-ya Kid-ya-liars.
As in, that is what you are planning to turn the Kendriya Vidyalayas.
How are Members of the Parley-a-mint or Legis-late-ive Ass-semblies remotely qualified to make these recommendations?
How many of them have completed their schooling? Please look up the criminal cases and allegations against those who are going to be making these recommendations.

A national joke this is.
And you, Mr. Kibal, are a National Joker. A Meddler. An irritating, annoying one at that.

The Indian Cash-on-all Nongress should be awarded the Oscar for successfully duping a nation in the name of Reform.
Please stop imagining. Start thinking. If you can, that is.

-Miffed-was Why-sore.
