Self-Praising, Self-Serving Immature Leaders!

Self-Praising, Self-Serving Immature Leaders!

Comical indeed! Self-praise and untruths projected as noble truths. Easy route to self-promotion!
No principles. No heart-felt feeling for others. No differentiating right and wrong.
World over, that's what the immature revel in. Surely, not to serve people or their countries!
They float fiction as fact, spreading untruths against mature leaders.
They take credit for imaginary successes with self-praising stunts.
They take credit for real successes they have nothing to do with.
And they blame others for their own failures and blunders.
Since they promote utterly selfish interests, they can degrade any country's future.

Excerpt from Dreams Of One Country

Excerpt from Dreams Of One Country

This blog is the closing paragraphs of Dreams Of One Country, the novel written by my wife Jagjit and me. The excerpt is mainly a speech by Nalini, the daughter of Priya Jha who, some thirty years earlier, had inspired a great youth campaign to lead India's ascent to the world's elite developed nations.  

'Friends, today we are taking the first step on the highway to the country my mother dreamt of. The way will be long. The way will be hard. But when our hearts join no mountain can stop us. From today Ek Desh youth will go from the snows of the north to the seas of Kanyakumari. And they will tell the people we are one. One family! One Bharat! One family of Bharatvaasis!’  She turned to look for a moment at Priya’s portrait before concluding: ‘Yes! One country! One people!’

‘Ek Desh! Ek Desh!’ echoed the audience.

‘Jai Hind!’ Nalini’s voice pitched higher: ‘Jai Hind!’

The response rose: ‘Jai Hind!’ Tides of ‘Ek Desh zindabad!’ swept through the expanse of people and finally ebbed away.

She said softly: ‘Ab chalo. Let us begin our journey. We must build a great nation.’

Everyone stood. The applause went wild. Overwhelmed, certain that a new page of one of the few meaningful causes in the world had been written, Norman hugged Davinder and the rest of the family.

‘My little one is no less than her mother,’ said Radheshyam. The proud grandfather’s eyes streamed freely.

‘Yes. Same nobility,’ whispered Norman. Then he knew what was coming. He clasped his hands together tightly and could not breathe. He felt it was blowing cold, cold...a squall from his forever winter. Norman shivered to the bone, missing Priya intensely.

*

Ek Desh breathed hope across a land anaesthetized by centuries of uncaring and injustice. A bewildered people - over a billion strong - awakened to dream of Priya Jha’s One Country. They dreamt of a gentler land, where people come together for the good of all. But that was just a dawning. Ahead lay the war to find a nation’s soul. A quiet, vast and unique war. Its battles would be fought in the heart of every Indian.'

Memories: Tommies Street-Dancing, Bombay 1945

Memories: Tommies Street-Dancing, Bombay 1945

Friday, the 8th of May 2020, was the 75th anniversary of V-E Day, the day the Second World War ended in Europe. In 1945 I was a tot. We lived in Bombay on the third floor of a 5-storey building, eight tenants per floor.
On VE Day evening I was on the long common verandah in front. I watched in amazement as a group of Tommies (British soldiers) came out after drinking in Dadar Bar across the road and did a merry jig, dancing and yelling 'Thank God! It's all over! ' 'The war is over!' etc. That day, the 8th of May, 1945. the most major war and hopefully the war to end all wars, had ended in Europe.
But the war in the Pacific Theater did not end then. That happened after the first atom bombs were dropped in August 1945.
