Nationalistic Views and Few Insights on Re-Coalition

                      I am finding myself in a soup recently. At least one should be aware that he is going to land in such troubled waters. In the over-enthusiastic phase of landing in a good job, I over did things. Initially, for getting settled, I worked far above the range of sustaining over a prolonged period of time. I worked for temporary benefits of pleasing everyone and after a certain period became exhausted and stressed out. This is the reason for my present day sorry-state and I must concede it is a big mistake on my part. Mistakes are generally made everywhere and it is this experience that teaches a person and leads him to a state of refined living. The initial missteps needs to be rectified when another such situation arises.

                      In another view, the past many months of running helter-skelter made me a present day hero who does not cede to exhaustion and continue running in a red-hot state. I might be destined to work as such which might be the logical conclusion wherein an object is shining brightly and emitting light when the object itself is on fire similar to a burning camphor. If not for India, I feel U.S will never let this story to happen in its land. Then why is it that India still need heroes. Since the time of Independence, the country of billion hinges on very few individuals who has to be utmost dedicated and sacrificial to deliver goods and move the country forward. The reliance is here to stay till all the citizens of the country does duties with national conscience, responsible and lift their standards of living. Till then the country needs heroes to lift millions from poverty, to bring SC/ST/BCs on par with general category, to win medals for the country and for every other cause.

                      In another positive view, if you acknowledge this story will never happen in U.S., you also need to know why this happened in the great nation of India. I put my efforts initially to make it in U.S. but failed on all three occasions. I tried in India at the same time on three different occasions and succeeded two times by getting a job. It might be a fact that I will never succeed in any other country of the world based on my situation. For me, it vehemently deduce the point that India is rising and is currently the melting hot iron of the world which can house and succeed a crap like me. Besides my own experience with this emerging super power, there are many factors which will take the nation to the position it deserves.

                     The primary factors being the demographic trends and a rapidly expanding economy. By G.D.P alone, India became the fastest growing economy since past few years. India has a very high and young population. It has approximately 65% of its population below the age of 35. In the coming decades, while some of the powerful nations will witness a decrease in workforce numbers, India is expected to have an increase. Demographic window which is period of time when the proportion of population of working age group is prominent also indicates the advantage of the country. While the Europe and U.S. are well past its demographic windows, India entered the period in 2010 and may last till 2050. The next few decades significantly points the position of India for a rise. It cannot grow in isolation but with partnerships with all the other countries. I would not have succeeded in India without the help of U.S. This is an area of concern as India, despite the size, is still not influential on the international stage.

                       There are many stories happening around but one of those which had me thinking is the break up between central and state ruling parties – B.J.P and T.D.P. It is particularly interesting since T.D.P is one of the earliest supporters of B.J.P in its pursuit to form government at the center. From the days of close friendship to the days of post break-up history has its share of ups and downs in terms of relationship between the two political outfits. The state has to bear the negligence of the center for so long that it opened up after peanuts are given in the present year budget allocation which is final year before the next election year. Firstly, you enter into an alliance thinking that it would be good for the center and state. Later you break the alliance thinking it is not good for state. How come breaking an alliance with a promising partner can be of any good to the state either. A layman watching from outside will be perplexed at the turn of these events. There is an error of judgement on the part of T.D.P which acted in haste and went through the break-up rituals.

                       There is failure on the part of central government as well in not keeping the assurances made by the then P.M. on the floor of upper house. If it is too much to ask for special status then another alternative must have been formulated and delivered by now. There is a void of inactivity and not much has been done by the central government in these four years to avert the incoming break-up. Living up to the spirit of ally, center should have disbursed funds freely to the state. It is to be noted that those states which are not allies but opponents got more funds than A.P. If the central government has lived up to the alliance ‘dharma’, the chief minister need not have circled 29 times around the Delhi bigwigs like asking a complete stranger for help rather than an allied partner. This is not the response expected when the state has been bifurcated into two and the residual A.P is in a tough situation of financial deficit. Will you play the same waiting game if your home state is carved into two and one part is left searching for funds?

                       Despite the error of judgement, the Chief Minister of the state must be appreciated for rallying through these 4 years in spite of severe opposition within the state as well as center. That said, no one can expect miracles to happen in 4 years other than a good beginning. I hope this is the case with all the development works including construction of capital Amaravati. You should give at least ten years to see full-fledged results in these cases. If it is still nowhere going then the alliance can be broken but not now. No great monuments are build overnight and generally gets lot of friction and opposition along the way. One should be mentally and physically strong to navigate through these troubled phases and turn opposition to agreement.
