Modi and Kejriwal : armored in battle of democracy !!

It is less than one month from today when India goes to the polling booth to elect their rulers for next five years...Elections in India are not just an exercise to choose people who will be governing us but it is a celebration of democracy...A humble reminder of our legacy of giving way to public opinion in place of monetary and military power...Democracy in India is much more interesting than in other nations due to it's heterogenous character with regard to religions, castes, language, ethnicity, geography, culture, customs and everything else.
    History tells us that there have been times when the integrity and sovereignty of India has been threatened and has been put in unprecedented dangers due to both internal and external forces... There have been times when India has been predicted to go Pakistan's way of becoming military rule or becoming a dictatorial state of people with money and power or simply falling prey of imperialistic ideology of it's neighbors...But our country has always overcome these dangers and survived it's basic character time and again...It was not an easy thing by any means...The political wisdom of Patel and Nehru in initial years, military battle leadership of Indira Gandhi, protests and revolutions of JP Narayan , and economic policies of PV Narsimha Rao have been vital in resuscitating the spirit of democracy in India..

21st century India is a much matured and stable nation.. There doesn't seem to be any immediate danger which can fall apart India as a nation...Problems of seperative ideologies of state, politically elected communism (that's a separate topic for another time) , food production and famines have been tackled to a great extent more or less...
   But still border disputes with China and Pakistan, radical communal ideologies, terrorism, naxalism,illegal immigration, liberisation of economic policies loom over India as big challenges for the largest democracy of world..
    Although India is not as fragile now as it used to be, but threats remain both from inside and outside..Tackling with these threats require a strong hold of the roots of the country as well as the deciding power when you have to make tough decisions which look like bad decisions to common man at first but are beneficial for country in long run..These things come with experience when you learn to not buckle up under the pressure of opposition, yet understand the value of opposition to keep your personal interests at check...

Coming to the applicability of abovesaid in current scenario, Mr Narendra Modi seems to be the best suited candidate for beginning prime minister who has experience of running the most developed state of India for more than ten years..

   An interesting phenomena in Indian politics is sudden rise of AAP and Arvind Kejriwal...This man has the strongest anti corruption agenda and has a different working style fresh from the usual netagiri of Indian politicians...Being campaigned as the godfather of CHANGE required in Indian politics, this man has become an overnight sensation... Such sensationalism is dangerous for our country as it over rides the need of serious evaluation before imparting our trust on anybody... Although Mr Kejriwal did a few good things during his brief stint in country's capital, this man has some serious shortcomings to hold the supreme office of country...
First, their party is not well organized and lacks experience of difficult times...Second, their leader is impulsive and short tempered...He created anarchy when he was himself supposed to be the archer..Third their stand on economic policies seems attractive at first but is orthodox and likely to push India into poverty of past...Fourth and the most important flaw is lack of experience and clear stand on foreign policies...
   
AAP and AK are not bad people..They might turn out to be better administrator than Narendra Modi and BJP but a post of such enormous importance like Prime Minister must be filled by someone with whom we can impart our trust ...This is not a post to play with,where anyone with 2 yrs of clean record can be seated while we "hope" that he "can" protect the democracy and sovereignty of mother India but we must be "sure" that he "will" do it..Delhi as a state can tolerate the blow of sudden resignation of it's CM due to his impulsive nature but if condition arises India as a country won't be able to absorb the trauma of such irresponsiblity..
 
All AAP and AK need is to have patience, play roles either in opposition or at state level, understand the complexities of running a democracy and gain some useful experience...If they stay as clean and confident after 5 years as they are today, then we will welcome them whole heartedly in next LS election,2019..Till then their character and their stand will be more clarified and more solid..
  
Some one has appropriately said that "Time is the most important and trustworthy test for character of any person, organization and ideology"...
Narendra Modi and BJP have passed this test while AAP and Arvind Kejriwal have yet to take this test...
