NAMO is Narinder Modi ji, our Prime Minister. i feel hurt and angry when ANY Indian says most insolent and boorish words about India's PM. They forget WHO got this land divided and in a mess with the basis for dynastic rule. We are a democracy, an open one. NO religious fringe body or Group has the right to undercut the PM or what Hinduism of the past or present has stood for.
The PM should not let others speak for him. That includes our President or the VP. As the political head of our land -- regardless of who voted for his Party or not, cannot over-run and insult the PM.
Hindu extremists in the Parliament or in Maharashtra or wherever ought to be orientated on how this land's overall goals can be achieved. Much damage of the past cannot be undone via a 5-year rule, a rule that has to discipline itself. Stay transparent, help and support the poorest, the women and children & the super-seniors. Two more terms are needed at least -- BUT take pragmatic feed-back, as the PM is doing, currently. BUT use more effectively "Man ki Baat" and see what in the areas of promises made is being carried out or not. That too is damaging. Some Ministers at the State and Central levels have "gone off the rocker" and have to be reined in.
i have never been a party member of any Party. Most are corrupt -- that is from where half the trouble begins-- and the other half has been the traders and many of our industrialists.

Second Part of what i promised earlier around our 4 p.m. today.
1)Tying up with Japan and other South East Asian countries (Burma, Thailand, VietNam, Indonesia, Japan, etc.) and seeing how Israel is managing, ever since it got created is, & ought to be our priority. 2)Do not put our Foreign Minister in the shadows (as it happened during the first 9-12 months). Tie up with the British, Germany & France and the Central Asians -- the US continues to become unethical in our relationship -- even assisting Pakistan, at our cost. How can that be stopped, is a priority.
3)Create and/or relate to the Russians so that peace is not usurped by those who wish to avenge division of their eastern wing. THEY are guilty of a colonial style rule of the old East Pakistan. NOT us.
4) Make 100% investments for North-East India, provide managerial and administrative support for communications, healthcare, education and agricultural + industrial development. Horticulture in NE India can be a massive growth in all of those lovely areas. Penalize any Indians who ill treat north-
eastern Indians. Other than reports in the media, how and what was done later remains unknown.
5) Educate our professionals and other managerial classes to know more of the NE India than make more slums in our current hill-stations created originally by the British.
6)Improve further our trade cum relationships with Sri Lanka -- extremist Sinhalese and the local Tamils (& their fringe leadership) spoilt it all. Rajiv Gandhi took a 100% wrong step, whenever & sadly cum tragically paid for it all. (i have been in & out of Sri Lanka 17 times and know what i say.)
One could go on in this vein & style. As a citizen i do have the right to say it all, given such an opportunity thanks to the LocalCircles -- but NOT getting heard is unfair. Our bureaucracy is also largely responsible -- their loyalty ought to be with India and not individual, political leaders. Enlarge the area of population who must get taxed -- many of them pay not, create more black money. One cannot buy or sell property w/o black money. How can that be dealt with has to be explored. Get the best minds and products to deal with child & female mal-nutrition. It IS a major problem.
4-5 star hospitals have not created beds for the very poor -- one eye is closed by our own system!
Last, please scrap the US$ 14 billion super-fast train service in W India. Improve further, 100 fold what our current Rail Minister is getting things done with great ability. Second last final -- continue to further improve economic/trade relations with the Gulf countries. They & we have common goals for this part of Asia. Having said so much, the very last is: Tell the Sg of the UN India can double the strength of the UNPeace forces in areas of conflict. Train them and provide 1-2-3 year assignments for our nationals. Thank you for listening. --dev chopra in gurgaon 9810338049
