Peoples aspirations

Peoples aspirations
(This is sort of introduction to the new blog and will be writing more on all subjects pertaining to peoples aspirations.)
Ever since human being came upon this planet, his search for food and livelihood had decided his actions.   Group living was a necessity and was governed by the rules vocally spelt by a leader or consensus among the group.   There had been cases of disputes and each period had its own way of settling their disputes.  Though early history could only be surmised based on various findings and written history was only recent over a thousand years, many of our views are based on what has been told by some and to be agreed upon by many.  Wherever disagreement became vociferous and these turned into disputes, these have been settled through both discussion and muscle power.  Hence peaceful settlements and those with the use of power have formed part of history and thus the adage "learning from History".  Even when disputes with the peaceful way of "agreeing to disagree" are settled, these have left a clear mark many a times.  There had been enough cases of people fighting over land, women and greed of wealth and just to establish ones supremacy.   To this list, in the modern world, has added the status and recognition by society contributing for disputes.  Unfortunately, some of the reasons, which could only be between groups have been taken to the levels of different countries and thus vigil between borders of countries have become an important issue with lot of the earnings of the countries going for this purpose and little to other basic requirements.  Thus this resulted in the widening of the already existing gaps based on economic considerations.   The haves and have not theories contributed for mass struggles especially in the East Europian countries and China and a few more countries of Latin America and Asia which lost their way with the all round progress on economic fronts all over the world.  As the progress in developed countries had to be depended on the mass consumption of the products of automation,  consumer became important and more consumers had to be brought into the system, by various names of trading and when the lesser powerful under-developed countries woke up to the reality by including them calling globalisation.

Thus whether willingly or unwillingly people of different countries had to be dependent upon the global impact of various decisions they make.  Countries with strong leadership and a vision of the future survived more with a clear set of planning and executing them well, even as limitations were imposed due to the geographical and financial aspects.  Awareness of the people also has a corresponding role in all these developments which led to the proper use of trade as well as getting a government they deserved.    Thus peoples aspirations have to get the priorities from those who govern and in turn the people should be aware of what they require and  choose a government that can fulfill their aspirations.

In India, there is going to be an election which brings in a new government at the centre.  A strong central government can only be present with a single party getting absolute majority and may be other smaller parties of various regional interests supporting them.   The present dispensation of United Progressive Alliance have ruled since 10 years and have proved that their economic policies have not been a success with a Re. at 63 per $ and inflation touching and jumping towards North with a slump in Industrial Growth and leaky pipe lines in schemes with corruption at all levels.  Added to these are the compromises the government had to make due to political compulsions and dependence of smaller parties and an economist heading the government.  It goes to prove that either he did not have a free hand or he spoiled the economy.  But this dispensation had created a holier than thou, advisory council with not an economist at helm but a person who had no knowledge on governance and only had manipulative politics and threatening of smaller parties which indulged in corruption and thus made them to submit to all wrong policies.

Thus the 2014 Lok Sabha election brings in a new aura to the Indian National Scene with a 4 time CM of Gujarat aspiring to become the PM of the country with an unblemished record, though MSM thinks otherwise bringing in riots of 2002.  On the other hand the state of Gujarat has seen the development unparallel in recent times under his leadership and  he will be the right man with the determination and vision to take this country forward.  But as said, he should be given the majority and already the people of various regions are expressing their faith in him as could be seen from the different surveys all over India in different states whether ruled by cong, bjp or other parties.   This should further grow in the days to come to give him a clear majority. The BJP, the party which projects him as the PM candidate would do well to turn a new leaf and totally prevent a few corrupt elements in the party, from contesting the election, which is what the people of the country want.
