KIRAN BEDI MIRED IN MORASS OF CORRUPTION

Much to our dismay Kiran Bedi,s name too has been mired in corruption as she is claimed to have swallowed big chunk of money allocated to her NGO. Is it the real visage of congress party who tome tomes to crusade against corruption in all its manifestation or a political vendetta where potential rivals are not allowed to survive with dignity? Has the party been ethically starved enough to drag her name in a peculation to malign her unblemished career? Is it the way in which our former top police officers are subjected to pass through untold miseries? Why government remained somnambulist and myopic enough to disregard utterly her immaculate service profile where she pioneered many seminal reforms in police manual? Perhaps answers to such pressing questions may be spotted in today’s sordid politics that fails to have even little smack of morality and misses no opportunity to tarnish someone’s righteous and upright entity for ensuring its own popularity graph in robust conditions. Kiran Bedi,s prolific career and her commitment for societal causes aimed at elevation and aggrandizement of our country has goaded every men in general and women in particular to idolize her and step in her footprints. Donning badge of being first IPS lady she did commendable job for women empowerment and shielded them from being vulnerable folk. Her avowed resolve to book rowdy elements, racketeers, and dealers of Narcotics for justice catapulted her fame to a dizzying height in decades of eighties. Even at present she is charioting many philanthropic outfits to promote and proliferate multi-layered societal awareness. On umpteen of scores she stood valiantly for keeping standard of truth fluttering high in the sky and stood a great success . Her credentials are strong enough to be torpedoed by any such  saber rattling move of Govt.It has already essayed to splinter inviolable unity of Anna and his acolytes and is now trying to rein in Bedi,s belligerence and resolve to eliminate scourge of corruption. Govt. must realize that Bedi is not a weakling who will break so easily and will show her conformity with whims of Govt. which is continuously beleaguered by allegations of embezzlements of public money.

                                                   It is high time for the congress party where it should go for self introspection instead of maligning one of our former honest police officer turned social activist. Let us pray that our brave lady emerges triumphant once more !  

Carrebean Cricket Callipso Collapses

 This nation which used to chill spine of even best opponents almost looks in shambles and is largely innocuous thanks to its lusterless performance in every arena of game. The very nation which produced legions of luminaries itself stands withered and moron one .Where has fled its gleam that girdled this team in bond of inviolable unity and made it almost invulnerable one? Once it enjoyed that enviable status where it was almost unbeatable.For almost two decades it brought subjugation of every team by its superlative display of game. Who can be oblivious of raw pace of trio of Indies pace battery that culminated in devastating spell of Andy Roberts,Holding and garner. Their blistering pace and awful bounce was sheer terror for batsman. Batsmen needed herculean efforts to rescue themselves from not being cheaply scalped.These bolwers had finesse to penetrate even most technically armored batsman.Even in spin department Gary sobers was a treat to watch with his highly deceptive variation.players used to set supreme examples for their peers and were self propelled to throw their best behind every efforts. To them cricket was more than a creed and a liberating force that countered hegemony of white stock group of players.Batting contingent too was almost unassailable as this team had the opening explosive pair in form of Hence and Grinige. Together on umpteen occasions they piled of mountains of runs and ensured that their rivals are routed.There was hardly any crevices in their armor as technically they were very sound.This opening duo was followed by solid middle order.Richards,Clyve and Richardson were the very pivots on which middle order was largely hinged.Fielding too exuded its class as there was rarely any fumbling at all. Players morale used to be on its optimum level.

                                                  This golden phase gradually started losing its sheen once old tycoons hanged their shoes. Team could not be properly replenished with influx of young and able stuff.To make the matter worse Board itself had to pass through scores of quagmire of scams which scarred its image and dented its clout on team. Fissiparous tendency of different clubs and Islands inflicted irreparable harm to the board which could not work cohesively as giant unifying force. Team earned the ignominy  of being a damp squib which was not even  considered fit for sounding a note of bang as it always fizzled on a note of whimper. This transition from adversity to prosperity was not at all sudden but was the result of many years of sheer neglect on part of administrative officials at Board.Early decades of 20^th century saw the emergence of Lara who undoubtedly had a class but alas! he too could not bring the team in serious reckoning.Even his scintillating brilliances could remain a mere patch on large canvass of Indies team as team went on creating successive records of dismal performances. At present this team is teaming with many rookie fast bowlers but they need much international exposure and technical expertise. Batting too swivels around brave bravo and Chandrapaul but it needs to be bolsterd by sound and durable openers.

                            It can be surmised that that days are not in offing where there can be resurgence of present team into formidable mighty windies.It is hoped that in distant future it may arise like a phoenix from its own ashes but for that to happen it will have to descend further abysmally low. Is not waxing and waning a cyclic pattern of history?

MAYA UNROLLS POLL DIVISIVE SOPS

Recent decision of Maya to go for the resolution to have quadratic division of U.P. sounds quite queer as it is aimed to open vistas of developmental avenues for the present state. Now the crux of the matter is whether this move is political pragmatism or a congenial viable action to ensure better governance and diffusion of power.

Taking into account volatile paradigm of complex U.P. politics it seems that Maya is shrewd enough to play this divisive game for ensuring her perennial popularity and saving the government simultaneously that is starved of any accountability and is ridden with scores of scams. She seems to play with peoples sentiment by egging on their regional, cultural and factional instincts. It can be safely averred that she is least bothered for ensuring steady development of the state and is more inclined to save her own throne. Being intimidated and battered by resurgence of congress under new incarnate of Young Turk, Rahul Gandhi and belligerent samajvadi party she is left with no option but to show her indulgence with this game as a last arrow in her quiver to salvage her scandal scarred image and dwindling popularity. It appears that she has donned that chameleon skin which changes its texture and hue as contingencies arises. She is not a political ideologue of that stature who will have jittery moments while bidding adieu her political ethics. Same Maya in her best of roaring popularity could never have even thought of this game in her wildest dreams.

For her to be grooved in power, preponderates over all factors that is why she is even content to hold helm of affairs even in one proposed divided part of U.P. in aftermath of ensuing state election.

As far as subjects of this state are concerned they will have their own adversities and tremors as division will lead to spiraling of prices and will make commoners life more traumatic. It will further usher in an era of splurging of money that would be needed by respective elected government of divided state to set up their own legislative, judicial and bureaucratic infrastructure. Sky rocketing prices of property and eatable items will become norm of the day where commoners and destitute would be further marginalized and would be exposed to worst kind of paupery.

U.P. has already been divided earlier that led to carving out of a new state full of mountainous terrain christened as Uttarakhand. It was only that segment which was the remotest and had least accessibility. It was an action that was the need of the hour as that part could have not ensured its sustained development if it could not have been ceded from parent state, U.P.  Ideally  U.P. should have gone for bilateral division where a new state of Bundelkhand  was the only need thanks to its all together different topological conditions. Dividing plains of U.P. just for settling one’s political score with rivals is deeply dipped in sordid politics and augers ill for our national integration and sovereignty. Same move and such divisive policy will jeopardize umpteen of our provincial states which may step in footsteps of Maya to stop anti- incumbency factor.

May Maya be sanitized enough to halt this divisive policy in national interest as at present our country is embattling with mercenary and expansionist foreign powers!
