LET PROFESSIONALS HANDLE INDIA, SECOND OPTION
Why not think on the lines of making a " Professional Political Party " ? If professionals can handle big companies in india and abroad effectively, why cant they handle india ? Some companies abroad have a higher GDP as compared to india. If these guys can handle such huge companies, then handling india will not be a problem for them.
With time it does appear that the present political leadership in India is not going to change its stand on the OBC reservation issue or any other issues, which are very important for the country.
Really the only way to get caste reservations crapped now appears to be that Professionals (Doctors, Engineers, lawyers, MBAs, NRIs, Academics, Industrialists, Information technologists etc.) form their own political party, win elections and scrap reservations based on caste.
Perhaps present protests against reservations will change into a political movement, through the announcement of a new political party by the protestors.It is an option in a democratic country. If that happens, perhaps some good, will come out of this undesirable caste issue.A professional political party will be able to handle other pressing issues as well such as supply of water, uninterrupted electricity supply and timely justice in courts (these are really very simple matters that other countries have implemented several decades ago).
This task appears to be way beyond the capability of the present administration as the last half-century indicates. People from all walks will welcome a party that will be able to provide clean drinking water, electricity, justice and an administration free of corruption.
In this context I would like to discuss the importance of Lok Paritran. Lok Paritran is a political party formed in February 2006 by a group of 6 who graduated from IIT Mumbai and Kanpur. They contested for 8 seats in the recently concluded Tamil Nadu election and made a decent show by coming 3rd in few constituencies. Again it remains to be seen if they are ready to oppose something which can cost them their political mileage. But again how many are ready to come out of AC offices and and jump into the political arena. Are they up to it? If not perhaps they have none to blame, and should accept whatever is decided for them by the present leadership. After all, the present political leadership too, has to look after its interests, and the OBC reservations, is a major way within their capabilities of doing it.
We have another option ! Why not give all the important portfolis in the central govt. to the eminent and experts ?
Let Ratan Tata handle as a Foreign Minister as he has expertise and taken over lot of companies abroad. Let Ambani brothers handle Finance Ministry, as they are experts in finance. If they can fill their coffers and be on the " forbes " list as one of the richest in the world, they can very well handle Finance Ministry and fill the govt. coffers. Home Ministry should be given to an eminent Police officer like M.C. Sharma, who died fighting the terrorists, and who can take on law and order " head on ". Defence Ministry can be given to am Eminent General, who knows much better than these corrupt politicians who make arms deals for their commission. And for the post of Prime Minister, i cant think of anybody else, except Narendra Modi, chief minister of Gujarat who has transformed Gujarat into a developed state, the best governed state in India.
It is a hypothetical vision but cant be ruled out. To keep a check on these Ministries, autonomous bodies like IRDA, which is an insurance regulator and TRAI, which controls all the mobile companies in india, can be set up to monitor these ministries. Let all the unemloyed politicians, become members of these regulatory autonomous bodies, so that they also remain happy, without intervening.

how any options will you give ? you know, nothing will change...
Dear Deepak,
When you start exploring, what has gone wrong with yhe system, we are in, you think on various models. The model which reaches the last mile is the best model. My wanting to change something, will not change. People have to change the system. Centuries of uninterrupted slavery, till today, under different alien rulers, now our netagan, ensured that indians were ruthlessly suppressed. We are expected to be quiet & submissive. Now things are changing fast. One example of SINGUR, will answer your question. Singur has shown what people can do. Despite the full backing of West Bengal govt, to Tatas for their Nano factory, Tatas had to withdraw, ultimately from Singur. Now awakening is coming among the people. Now no govt, can take people for granted.
you have invited " generals " to clean up the mess. I have talked to few of my friends. Nobody has the time to waste on this dirty politics.
Dear Brigadier Nalwa,
First of all, let me thank you for going thru my blog regularly. Reading my blog and your comments boosts my confidence. Your comments are fruitful and frank. That's what i like about you. I am happy to learn that you have started discussions with your friends. Atleast the thought process has started. This is a great acheivement. Out of the box, solutions, take time to mature, i can very well understand. But the ball has started rolling. This churning process takes its own time and i am hopeful, something or the other may materialise, in in the near future. Thanks again. Please keep on giving your inputs. I shall be obliged.
Not only a few Genrals, but many other eminent people from all walks of life who "CAN MAKE A DIFFERNCE" keep aloof of politics, terming it as dirty. They do not even show interest in the voting process to as most of them consider it worthless. It is because of this the existing thugs in politics take full advantage and do what they like to attain and retain power and continue to loot the country. We are mostly governed, at least in the last four decades, by most incompetant, apathetic, un-concerned, self-centered, un-patriotic, value-less and corrupt politicians. The more educated, loyal, sincere, patriotic, honest and efficient people in various walks of life, especially the Defence Veterans, who by and large are familiar with these traits, should come forward and challange these people rather than tolerate them to rule us after knowing what they are. Some Defence Vetrans seem to have taken up some initiative in this regard and set up a "War Veterans Party". But I'm not sure how much it has progressed. Please find appended below some information on this:
The War Veteran's Party (WVP) is the BRAIN CHILD OF Capt. Lawrence Nathaniel R.D, who thought it wise to form and provide a political platform for ex-service men to play a crucial role in public life. That front by virtue of its character and composition stands for national unity which is free from caste, race and religion. However the title WAR VETERAN’S though forms the base of Ex- Service men yet, its scope is very wide and large as a result of which it keeps its doors open to all the upright civilians to join the party and strive for the establishment JUST GOVERNMENT that works for the uplift of all the citizens irrespective of the caste, creed or religion.
The word WAR VETERAN’S in its larger perspective can even be referred to all those veterans who wage a relentless war against anti-socials, theocratic groups, and against corruption and nepotism to provide a clean government for well- being of all people of the country.
WAR VETERAN’S Party has been registered as a National Party with the ELECTION COMMSSION OF INDIA.
Many a people from all walks of life hailed the formation of WAR VETERAN’S PARTY providing room for UPRIGHT Ex-Service Men and CIVILIANS.
Cdr. Khilari,
I was not aware about War Veterans Party. Please find out its current status. It should be a perfect platform, as written by you, for all like minded people, to come under its fold, and strengthen it.
