The Underage
Optimist
By Chetan Bhagat
Again a person who I
particularly dislike, and so choose to write for my own dose of morning humor.
This article in particular dealt with the favoritism towards Modi over Rahul
Gandhi (the congress in general) that has recently taken over the popularity scene
of politics. The author takes the basis of an internet post he made asking for
responses between the two posed as the next CM to India and a phenomenally huge
number voted towards the snow white of Gujarat. Yes, I use that simile simply
because he does match the profile. Every morning Sonia Gandhi wakes up, goes to
the mirror and says, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who d'most favorite of
em'all?"
for the last 10 years, the mirror has always said," you my queen". Yes the mirror of public ignorance, the mirror of irresponsible systems, the mirror of a state destined to economic anarchy in an absolutely unchecked state. Just as they say, 'the world suffers a lot not because of the violence of the bad people, but more because of the silence of the good people' , the only reason why all these years, the mirror on Sonia's wall never raised a voice over her rule. But off late, people have started questioning, for however low, the people of a country do posses, at least a minimal, threshold of tolerance. Below that, the first criticize, if not answered they then question, and if not responded to they revolt. We have been cursing the government since ages, then we critically questioned it in the past decade and when that too didn’t avail any answers, we go down to revolt as is clear from the last few years. Congress on every occasion has turned it's back towards the nation and so the people are having the most natural reaction. Even if a majority are not exactly in support of Modi, the fallback from congress has only one spot of salvation, and that is this public figure. So adapting him was quite natural. In the wake of such circumstances it was pretty certain that a national youth figure and once very proudly posed Rahul Gandhi is now finding it very difficult to gain public support even on cyber media at large which consists of people who are relatively more educated and well informed than a lot of others. To sum it up, the author has tried to point out how constant ignorance of a party resulted in the loss of popularity of their only remaining trustworthy candidate and how this helped the BJP to rise from ashes in the central government forming scenario.
