Manmohanism

There is a new face for corruption and hypocrisy in Indian politics. "Manmohanism", once used to describe the policy of economic reforms, now stands synonymous to corruption. People will no longer struggle for an antinome for Integrity. Indian politics have it donated to the English dictionary; "Manmohanity".

So did this messiah of economic liberation suddenly turn into the monster of corruption overnight? Or, was it just an evolution stretched over two decades? Our economic liberalization was just a peaceful handover of rule from socialist oppressors to corporate looters. The Manmohans, the Gandhis, and the Rajas are mere mercenaries who stand watch to the corporate looters. Our natural resources are fast flowing unhindered to the Balance Sheets of Indian corporates & multinationals and the swiss accounts of the ruling alliances.

Our great nation has seen it all, from monarchs to colonialists, from the destructive communisms to the extreme communalism, and who will forget the pseudo secularists? Then came the corporate criminals of the capitalists era. Add a pinch of shameless Indian politics and the pseudo democracy under the Gandhis to the evils of the past states of monarchy, colonialism, communism, communalism, pseudo secularism & capitalism, and we will get that potent mix of chromosomes that form the genetics of the worst monster of our creation: "Manmohanism"

As I walk bitter with these stinking thoughts under the hot summer sun, a light breeze tries to cool me, but what comforted me the most was not the sudden chill of my sweat evaporating, but the soothing smell of a flower that tries to conquer the stench of our political leadership...I turned to where the wind blows from, and my eyes fell on the source of the fragrance, a little flower, in the purity of white, a Jasmine that tries to conquer the rotting Manmohan....my senses shifting continuously from my mind to my nose, and then to my eyes shifts again to my ear...and I could hear getting louder and louder the distant Arabic cries of Revolution.
