"Aam admi" v/s "Aam Admi Party"

Let me begin with caricaturing a Common Man.

He is the most Practical creature on earth, can easily shed his idealism when confronted with  situation.  Yes, he is exploited but I doubt, he will leave no opportunity when he get the chance to exploit.Urban common man will have more idea of things ranging from IPL to IPad, but very less idea of "Idealism in politics"....They simply  don't care about it... As far as their patriotism is concerned .They want that as in Cricket , India is mighty power , in the same way India should be mighty power in global areana. In their veiw India should be a military superpower . They dont care, who does it and by which method. All they want that they should get it . Various times,  I  feel that how selfish these common man is, how narrow his mind is, how he dont have far sight. But then I realise  probably that's why he is bloody  Common Man,  otherwise he would have been  "Khas Aadmi".

Most of them overtly claim to be 'secular' and 'caste-agnostic' but covertly they want their own community and caste  pride to be raised above than others community and caste pride. These are the same people who did'nt helped  "Nirbhaya and her friend"  on that shamefull day of 16 dec 2012. Peoples who commit "honour killing" are also aam admi.

Enough !  I talked,  infact  I cursed , the common man to a extent that I am feeling relaxed. Because as a common man , it obvious for me to hate a common man. I can't hate Narendra Modi , Rahul gandhi, Salman khan, Amitabh bacchan etc . I can only hate thoes people  who  are like me . If somebody like me talks to me , then I am alerted that he can cheat me , but if some one extraordinary talks to me , I feel lucky and blessed to a extent that I am ready to kiss his ass.

The real issue is  that common man dont have  "real sense self respect" , he finds honour in honour killing. He find political participation in political Bhakti.

When you dont respect your self , you dont respect others who are like you..

The unfortunate condition of common man is understandable. He is never celeberated . He is never treated well by any state machinery. He dont have anybody to back him up . He is always looked upon as a potential prey. In such situation how can we expect this aam admi to be magnamous , upright, man with higher values. It only when you feel secure of your existence in this jungle you talk and follow idealism.

Arvind kejriwal , if had contested election as a incumbent  delhi's CM ,he would have tasted much bigger success . Just only for single reason that he  would have carried a tag of extraordinary  man and not of a common man during campain. People don't want  AK to deliver  only "examples of Idealism" , they want improvement their life. The least they care about is "Idealism".  AAP should stop showcaseing their stunt of Idealism and understand that if they really want serve aam admi. If they want to get love and support of aam admi then be should be more practicle.

I hope that the next govt in delhi should be of "Aam Admi Party". Which should empower people , so that the self respect is inculcated in every aam admi , his life become more secure , then automatically Things will be much better.

Modi-Nawaz relations :hope and reality

Nawaz sarif faught  and won elections with promise of  improving relation with India and getting back Pak economy on track. These were the two most important promises among others. After comming to power in mid 2013 , he did lots of gesturing toward India to send a message that he is keen to establish a flourishing relation, but nothing solid action had been taken on the part of Pakistan to support the gesturing.

On the contrary , Modi faught and won the election on promise to send a strong message to Pakistan that India's concerns must be taken seriously , plus  terrorism and talks cannot go side-by-side. But there is one common ground that both the prime minister are pro-business and both want to revive there respective GDP growth rate.

Political enviroment in Pakistan is not so stable , Tahreek-e-taliban-pakistan(TTP)  is the major  headache , secessionist element in balochistan, insurgency in karanchi. Abdullah Abdullah likely to take over power in Afganistan after karzai. Modi a hardliner as deemed in pakistan has take over as  PM in India. On the economic front  Nawaz sarif govt is not able to deliver as  what was expected from him. All these  have created lots of cynisim in Pakistan and Opposition led by Imran Kham is trying to harness it . In this situation Nawaz Sarif is  politically weak right now in pakistan . Moreover Nawaz sarif hate relation with Parvez Mussaraf and his trials had cost Sarif a significant  loss of respect in some section of military .

Domesticaly weak leader have very less to offer and deliver , In current scenario Modi will demand more and more and Nawaz will have nothing to deliver rather than gesturing. Narendra Modi's cheif demands may include mumbai 2008 convicts , daood ibrahim, peace on LoC. Firstly,Given the civil-military relation in Pak peace on Loc cannot be sustained. Secondly, conviction of mumbai convicts are distant reality becuase of internal pakistani politics as for that he have to confront with right wing militants which can be risky and counter productive for his own political interest .lastly daood , who have footprints both in saudi and pakistan and given the relation of Nawaz with saudi this also can be seen as a non-deliverable. Nawaz sarif have to do lot of political management domesticaly before comming in postion to deliver something for betterment of Indo-Pak relation.

Moreover, the recent miliant attack on Herat indicate that inteligence agencies in pakistan are trying  to stab any possibilty toward "aman-ki-asha" as evident from Indian inteligence report which claims that this attack was hastly drafted .

Bigger picture suggest that to expect any major  success in Indo-Pak relation in near future will only be over optimism. Although the hope should never be dropped , because a strong ,stable and friendly pakistan is in Indias interst. some amount of patience and prudence is required on both the side and hand holding should be done by both  toward "Aman ki aasha".
