The above picture shows a banner purportedly on behalf of Bharat Army (Indian Army) thanking Mr. Sachin Tendulkar, an Indian Cricketer Star, for his staying with them for 24 years. It is not clear whether the banner carries the approval from an appropriate authority from Indian Army. It will be for the Indian Army to accept it or to deny it. Occasion: Mr. Sachin Tendulkar was promoting his film in London. In the London City, apart from promoting his film, Mr. Tendulkar also received a Fellowship Award to celebrate "Excellence in Global Asian Community" whatever it may mean. It is also not clear whether the promoters of the Award benefit from the presence of Mr. Tendulkar, or-- Mr. Tendulkar benefits from being conferred the Award, or there will be mutual benefits. Anyway, I do not think, citizens of India will not benefit from their celebrations. During the celebrations, Shri Tendulkar expressed some "His Majestic" intentions, and Expression of Interest. Of course, no MOUs were signed.

Let us see what Mr. Tendulkar plans
*...Planning to support charities and various initiatives to help the under-privileged people in the second innings of life. ..."
"...Providing solar lights to poor people in India was one of them. ..."
ybrao-a-donkey's personal views, not intended to be imposed on others
Is Mr. Tendulkar over-privileged, or under-privileged?
Who benefited more? Did the Indian Army benefit by appointing Mr. Tendulkar as its Brand Ambassador? Or did Mr. Tendulkar benefit from his getting appointed as Army's Brand Ambassador?
Mr. Tendulkar is already 44. He is still mooting. He is still thinking of "supporting charities and various initiatives". What are those initiatives? Somebody has to collect funds, buy some goodies such as solar lanterns, arrange functions, he will come late waving his hands, and then distribute the khilone (toys) to those so called under-privileged, amidst Television glares. And that too, if he gets time, after servicing his "Endorsement Marketers" and completing his "short-film shootings". To thank him again for all these, we have to institute a New Award larger than "Bharat Ratna".
Vocabulary help: 'Mute', 'Moot' difference. Both can be used as attributive adjectives. They can also be placed at the end of sentences

Last time we wrote of Respectable Shri D. Raja, the Rajya Sabha Member from Tamil Nadu, was on 30th Nov. 2015. It was in our post No. 619. Click here to go to our post No. 619 and study our criticism of Shri D. Raja.. It was about his getting inspiration from China, and Vietnam as Beacons for Indian Communism.
Today, our subject will be, his interview to DeccanChronicle.com, on 7th May 2017. Click here to go to http://www.deccanchronicle.com/opinion/op-ed/070517/sunday-interview-there-needs-to-be-a-movement-to-counter-the-modi-shah-duo.html, and study D. Raja's interview. The title of the interview is "...There needs to be a movement to counter the Modi-Shah duo...". It has mainly dealt with Opposition Unit, for the Election of the President of India, 2017. Two important quotes from the interview are particularly interesting:--
"...I have met Congress president Sonia Gandhi. She is concerned with the current situation. The Sangh Parivar is vitiating the atmosphere. When I told her that there needs to be a broadest possible alliance, she agreed. She also agreed to my view that there needs to be a people’s movement to counter the Modi-Shah duo. ..."yb-a-donkey's view (not intended to be imposed on others): The history of CPI shows, that the principal reason for its downfall is, its hanging around Congress Party, before the 1962 CPI split, and after the 1962 split.
"... All said and done, the Congress is a pan-Indian secular party. The regional parties have their own pulls and pressures. However, no leadership has been discussed as of now. We will talk about it only after the presidential polls. We are not discussing any political alliance as of now. As far as Mr Gandhi is concerned, the Opposition parties have to understand that times are changing. I don’t think blaming Mr Gandhi for everything makes sense. ..."
"...At present, we are interested in a people’s movement. We have to resist the politics of the Sangh Parivar. As of now, this movement should not be linked to electoral politics. ..."
Is Congress a pan-Indian Party? Is Congress a Secular Party? Is CPI not a pan Indian Secular Party? Only Mr. Raja should explain the Secular character of Congress !!!
During Mrs. Indira Gandhi's days, CPI did not want blame her. Instead, it wanted to hang around her. 2017, CPI does not want to blame Mr. Rahul Gandhi. If Congress is really a pan-Indian Party, and if its Crown Prince Rahul Gandhi is a pan Indian National Leader, then, there should be nothing wrong in blaming Mr. Rahul Gandhi, for his incapability to compete with Mr. Narendra Modi.
About Mr. Raja's idea of People's Movement to counter the Sangh Parivar
1. This falls under one important Communist dilemma/enigma. Which is to be opposed first? Communalism? Or Capitalism? In the name of preventing communalism, Left Parties became soldiers of Congress. In spite of that, finally power went into the hands of Communalists. And the Communalists also seem to be moderating and mending themselves, or at least making facades of shifting themselves,as a balancing act, as they might have found from experience that with only Hindu votes alone, they cannot capture all the States, and at all times.
2. People do not have much time to participate in movements, carry Sickle Flags, get beaten by police lathis, being pushed into police vans, unless some 'wages' are paid for participation, or some alternative money/property benefits are shown. Gone are the days of 'nishkAma karma', English: working without expecting results. Besides, some of the things which CPI and CPIM are promising, are also being offered by BJP, Congress, Regional Paries, who else not?
3. Why CPI and CPM are unable to promise something more drastic?
CPI can promise something like 'Removal of Private Property', 'Nationalisation of all Occupations and Businesses', 'Treating every citizen as a Government Employee', 'Removal of currency system, paper or digital'?
4. When getting defeated in Presidential Elections is 100% predictable, why waste time in selecting some person as a Joint Opposition Candidate? And why should CPI, CPM participate in useless negotiations with the likes of Deve Gowda, Sharad Yadav, Lalu Yadav, Mulayam Yadav? All the resources such as time, money, workers, vehicles, are very precious. Why waste them? They can be spent on communicating to the Workers and the Poorest, instead of hassling and bickering with the likes of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
