Shall I? She shouted at the top of her voice, Shall I? The audience echoed the answer she so deeply wanted to listen, YES, YES and even more resounding YES!! She smiled and left the stage. No one can miss the resemblance of her ancestors that provides a grace to her otherwise Non-Indian face. She walks with elegance and keeps herself gracefully away from engaging in any childish games that her younger brother so eagerly gets involved in.
What he pointed out was that no military can ever solve Kashmir issue. Again nothing new, we have heard this Love-Hate, Peace-War rhyme a zillion times. However, he said that when I say that this issue should be solved on table, we require strong leaders from both the sides. Leaders who can take big decisions, leaders who can face the criticism of the non-conformists, leaders who can gather the support of the masses and can own their mistakes. Very true, I cannot see, minister like Manmohan Singhs, Rahul Gandhis, Sharad Pawars, Mayawatis, Jayalalithas, Mamta Banerjis ever taking any such bold step and back themselves when faced with opposition.
I know that we don't need any Imran Khans or Shoaib Akhtars to teach us how to solve Kashmir. However, what we won't do ourselves any harm by electing strong leaders. People such as Digvijay Singh, Sharad Pawar, Shibu Soren, Mamta Banerjee should give way to Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar, Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia and even Pranab Mukherjee (as his slate is still unblemished).
I am too naive to understand the politics which is governed by so many factors such as Castes, Creeds, Reservation, unemployment, Inflation blah blah blah and a further blah blah blah. However, our system desperately needs some fresh blood.
However, this is all I or a common voter in Indian knows about Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Bored with same false-promises and media frenzy to jump to conclusions, I changed the channel. It was a co-incidence that the other news channel was not engaged in the same coverage and a young journalist was interviewing the probable future PM of Pakistan, Imran Khan.
In his talks and Ideas, he sounded a friendly gesture that he would extend towards India if he is catapulted to the top. Nothing new, I have heard Nawaz Shariff, Lady Bhutto, and even Mr. Musharraf echoing the same thoughts whenever they crossed the fence and indulged in enjoying the Indian hospitality. However, one thing that was strikingly different was his response when he was questioned about Kashmir.What he pointed out was that no military can ever solve Kashmir issue. Again nothing new, we have heard this Love-Hate, Peace-War rhyme a zillion times.
