When invoking the gods of the pantheon turns UP poll plot

Look how Lord Krishna and Ram Rajya are pitted against BJP in the UP poll scene

The Assembly poll scenario in Uttar Pradesh is fast turning out to be a furnace where parties in the fray are vying with each other to roast each other. And the ridicule, the barbed attacks and the funny comments made against each other make for much fun.

For the parties, it is a do or die battle in the offing. And each one of them knows that well. When the BJP, which has Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the centre of all things, is trying its best to keep rivals such as the Samajwadi Party pinned down, the SP led by Akhilesh Yadav isn’t willing to lie low.

The Samajwadi Party, on the contrary, wants to encounter the BJP head on, and led by Akhilesh Yadav, the party is doing just that, with near perfection. Take for instance the manner in Yadav stormed into the BJP campaign scene and declared that Lord Krishna comes in his dreams every night to tell him that he would form the government in Uttar Pradesh.

UP polls and the Lord Krishna dream

Though said in a lighter vein, Akhilesh Yadav’s words were barbed ammunition. For, the BJP has been banking on Lord Rama and talking of Ram Rajya being built in UP. The SP chief took the same weapon to barge into the BJP camp, by saying that the gods are with him and that Lord Krishna himself supports him.

The statement needs to be seen as a reference to his belief that the BJP has failed in giving the people a Ram Rajya that PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath had promised last time around.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

Recruitment Scams and Paper Leaks in India: How the deserving youth of India is getting smothered under an obsolete system

-

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
