The great India parliament Circus

                         

Now a mere order for personal appearance in court has all the legal eagles of congress hyperventilating in public, making insinuations of political vendetta.

Nation had witnessed when a single judge of the Allahabad High court had indicted Indira. Then as the story goes, she went by the personal advisor of Siddhartha Shankar-more a friend than a lawyer- waking up the president late at night to sign on the dotted line of the emergency ordinance. Congress did have legal luminaries even then, but none came out howling on Allahabad high court judgement, nor did MPs create Pandemonium in parliament.

The disturbance in the already fragile fate of the winter session only points towards a guilt and fear of exposure. If the Gandhi’s and the star lawyers in congress fold are so supremely confident of their case, why should they be afraid of going through the due process of law.
The whole Saas- Bahu and the congress reveals an imperialist mindset of a dynastic that considers itself to be the natural ruler of this country, So anything from the land grab against the son-in-law to misappropriation of trusts funds is turned on its head by a single point counter-accusation of political vengeance.

Nation has seen Narender Modi faced trials-albeit with the best of legal defence anyone is entitled to- and come out acquitted. Nor did he bypass the judiciary to get even with his political adversaries.
Therefore it would be right to suggest that this entire drama is a ploy to detract the efforts for getting the GST Bill passed.

The fate of democracy in India needs a serious ponder whether it’s safe in the hands of a democratically chai-wallah who graduated to wear a monogrammed suits or a woman who has devolved form sable coats to cotton sarees, but whose natural upbringing makes her coded genetically to fiercely protect her family perhaps.

Young and Free Ambassadors (An anecdote)


A wonderful journey of nine students in organising an event that of a national level. The plan just cropped up in the chief Mind. He gathers a group, of five boys and then four girls. All of them were assigned with a department.

After the division of team members all of them waited for the term exams to be over and the day it got over. They tuned themselves for this journey. A work never that they had done before. A work that was an illusion till today for them. To organise an event that would cater student communities of all northern states. The teams motive was to showcase the rich cultural and Tourism beauty of their mother state Arunachal Pradesh through this fest at her birthday.
At the heat of racial discrimination they had set out to let people come, know and learn the people of Arunachal Pradesh. They worked hard day out. But after-all finance was the backbone and nothing can be done without that.

So they decided to Save their pocket money upto five thousand (Rs-5000). Though all could not submit due to poor financial conditions in their personal lives. They even prepared sponsorships proposal and went on presentation to different companies. But sadly there too they could get no relief.
But their determination wasn’t slowed down. Then they went begging at the state’s own Tourism department, which we supposed should be the main department to advertise or promote The Tourism affairs at all levels. But sadly we got a back kick there. The hope was over.

 But the dream was not shatter. We were hopeful that we can do it. We did not know how? But we knew we had to do it. Then on a fine evening one of presentation we got a sponsor. Dr. Hatobin Mai’s Living Dreams Trust. Then came in The Dawnlit Post A English daily from own state.
Dr. Hatobin was impressed by the work and was very responsive at the first meeting. His word of encourage and support and given the team powerful boost.

But then we had only two whose share wasn’t even the quarter.  We were thrash, many elders was perplexed looking at the flyers saying it’s above a crore (I mean one crore Rupees) investment event.
The d-day came nearer our head were spinning had some sleepless nights, Planning, Re-budgeting, Arranging. Students’ participants confirmed their participation. Students from Chandigarh, Harayana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, and Dehradun were ready to thrown and our work haven’t started yet. We had to provide them free accommodations, free Dinners, free Breakfast.

Adding more to responsibility was Our Chief Guest that was more of high Profile. Hon’ble Member of Parliament and an eminent Bollywood actor Mrs. Kirron Kher and some more other dignitaries. So our pressure was up more again.
And to get acomodatation at kissan bhawan at Chandigarh we had to bribe which they called “Seva-Panni”.

They day came in, our adreline rushed through the veins arranged everything in to-to. And the event was amazing. Chandigarh had an unusual sight when all Arunachalee Students came in their traditional dress. With Head gears, Colourful handmade dress and pretty faces of Arunachal Pradesh.
Chief Guest and other Guest reactions at our programme were so satisfactory. Our team members were so busy at back stage that they were never visible at any snaps of the programme. Sad but nevertheless we dreamt, we did it. At this level without any patronage we made impossible happened. The proud group of YouthNetIndia.

 We were successful in showing our rich tourism potential, rich Cultural Practices. We are the young ambassadors of our state Arunachal Pradesh.
