Worldwide, industrialist and politician behaviors are same, or nearly same. There is a close interwoven relationship between the business behaviors of industrialists, and the political behaviors of politicians, which is based on mutual dependence for mutual survival and growth. How can Mr. Mukesh Ambani be an exception? This news report from Zeenews demonstrates one such thing: Click here to go to http://zeenews.india.com/companies/gujarat-vibrant-summit-2017-mukesh-ambani-praises-pm-modi-for-changing-mindset-of-citizens_1966063.html, and observe what Mr. Ambani has said, on 10th Jan. 2017, at the venue of vibrant Gujarat summit 2017.
"...Modi ji first transformed Gujarat, now India. No leader has changed the mindset of so many people in such a short while. ..."
"...We are proud that Reliance is also a Gujarati company. For me, this is a sacred land. Our cumulative investment in Gujarat stands over USD 45 billion. ..."
ybdonkey's views, which are not intended to be imposed on others. Criticism is welcome:
Which Indians' mindset did Shri Narendra Modi change? Did he change the mindsets of religious fanatics? Did he change the mindsets of the billionnaire industrialists? Did he make all Indians industrialists? Did he make all Indians, religious fanatics? Did he change the mindsets of our 21st Century Shajahan like Chief Ministers? What did he change at all? Did he change his own mindset? Did he change this blogger's mindset? What Mr. Mukesh Ambani said is vague, and indefinable, like the Supreme Spirit in Christianity, and the 'brahmam or, brahma padArdham' in Indian philosophy. Let Mr. Ambani specify what changes Mr. Modi has brought into Indian mindsets!
Will Mr. Modi change the mindsets of persons like Mr. Chandravat, the Pramukh of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, who wants to purchase the Head of the Chief Minister of the Southernmost State of India-Kerala, at a price of Rs. 10 million!
SHAH JAHAN, Mary Antoinette, Louis XVI, AND the 21ST CENTURY CHIEF MINISTERS OF STATES IN INDIA
India views Shah jahan built Tajmahal at Agra as a status symbol. Let us go further deeper:
The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around 32 million rupees, which in 2015 would be approximately 52.8 billion rupees (US$827 million). (source: Wikipedia.org).
Now our modern Shah jahan like Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi wants to spend approx. Rs. 4,000 crore (Rs. 40 billion) on a memorial for the legendary 17th Century brave Hero Chatrapati Shivaji, on mid-seas. Did Indians forget the valour of Chatrapati Shivaji? No. Then, why a very very expensive Memorial with an outlay of Rs. 40 billion is required for a Hero who has not been forgotten, and who will never be forgotten, as long as the likes of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb are remembered in history?
We know that with the exception of Mumbai, most of the rural parts of Maharashtra reel under drought conditions, and farmers commit suicide. Almost all the States in India have farmers committing suicide, unable to live on this part of the planet Earth, which has more statues and memorials, than barrages, dams, agri-warehouses, market yards, food-processing units.
SHAH JAHAN OF ANDHRA PRADESH
Everybody and anybody can guess who the 21st Century Shah Jahan of Andhra Pradesh, and South India. It is Mr. Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, the Chief Minister of Residual Andhra Pradesh. The tanks, wells, bores, in all the four Rayala Seema Districts of Andhra Pradesh (Kurnool, Kadapa, Anantapur, and Chittoor) have dried. Water table sunk. NO drinking water. No livelihood. People are going to cities like Mumbai to work as migrant laborers. Private Transport Buses driven by fatigued or drunken drivers are falling into rivulets and culverts. Our modern Shah Jahan of Andhra Pradesh is doing what? Joyfully discussing the Capital City of Andhra Pradesh plans brought by a London Architect named Mr. Norman Foster. Click here to go to http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/foster-submits-4-designs-of-amaravati-buildings/article17392071.ece, and see Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu with Mr. Norman Foster.. Briefly, what TheHindu.com reported:
Valuable inputs were taken from the way cities like Washington DC, Putrajaya, Astana, London, Brasilia and New Delhi were designed, Mr. Foster said.
Mr. Naidu said that the High Court and the Legislative Assembly should stand out as truly iconic buildings and each one of the remaining constructions has a distinct identity of its own.
He insisted that Amaravati should be one of the world’s five best cities, and the committee headed by Government Advisor (Communications) Parakala Prabhakar would recommend certain changes to be incorporated in the designs conceived by Mr. Foster and his team.
Andhra Pradesh has already built Secretariat and Assembly buildings at Velagapudi, spending some billions of Rupees. If High Court BUilding is also added there, and a few more buildings for various Directorates, Zonal Offices of Central Government Offices and Banks, Central PSUs, the Complex will serve the State for another 150 years, if properly maintained. But, Mr. Naidu calls these buildings temporary. Why these buildings should be treated as temporary? Are they circus tents? The Buildings have been fixed with expensive furniture, computers, accoustic equipment, what not?
Do people of Andhra Pradesh need more Tajmahals? Skyscrapers and Great Hotels can probably make a Concrete Forest. They may satisfy the greed of Capitalists. But they do not provide subsistence to the hungry millions. For example, a very big city like Tokyo has its Senior Citizens voluntarily committing minor crimes and going to jails, because they find that 'to be inside jails' is more comfortable than 'to be free citizens' in a Great City. We should see the lives of Tokyo workers, many of whom live in 'bunk beds' for the very few hours they will be outside their factories / offices. They may be fortunate that their employers have not installed the bunk beds in the factory, fastened the workers to the beds, and forced them to work 24/7/365. Such things can happen in India, when the Capital City of Andhra Pradesh is built by foreigners with their funds.
When people are dying, can we afford to have a Shah Jahan or Mary Anotoinette and King Louis XVI, In Andhra Pradesh?
Why can't Mr. Narendra Modi change the mindset of Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu?
To continue adding /deleting / modifying. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.
