The one front that we managed to best the Chinese was the call center and other supporting jobs. The reason was that we can speak English as opposed to the Chinese who cannot. The Chinese have taken a note of that and are very aggressively trying to correct that. The importance of knowing and ability to use English with proficiency cannot be denied in this age of global economy. No country is an island or can exist as one if they have any dreams of becoming prosperous. So when Rajnath Singh and Mohan Bhagwat start the whole English versus Indian vernacular debate, I scratch my head. In this unfortunate country of ours we have far far bigger problems than hurt pride of old men. In the face of our children dying of totally avoidable situations, talking of English as a problem seems callous if not downright cruel. Narendra Bhai has a well defined and well received narrative derived from a functional growth model (unlike that of Nitish Kumar). Combine that with the problems the country is facing thanks to Congress’ gross incompetence and corruption, you have a great way of making a case for a regime change in New Delhi. We need to be focused like Arjun was on the eye of the fish. Talking about less important things only dilutes the effort. Westernization maybe a problem but not the one which is killing our kids and destroying our economy. Moreover, to solve that problem we will need a massive social awakening. That cannot be made into an election issue. Bhai Narendra has a winning formula and the BJP / RSS old men would be well advised to stay on the course.
Rajnath Singh has made an appeal to god knows whom for a US VISA for Narendra Modi. In response to that, 65 MPs have written a letter to Obama for denial of the same. The letter is being forwarded by Indian American Muslim council and has been signed by such luminaries as Akbaruddin Owaisi. We all know Owaisi’s anti Hindu, Anti Indian proclivities. This man epitomizes the disease of pseudo-secularism and vote-bank politics. Indian American Muslim Council is an outfit regularly used by the ISI to embarrass us. Members of this group and their liberal non Muslim friends have been known to hang out with Ghulam Nabi Fai ( A Kashmiri settled in US) who now is in jail in the US for being an ISI spy. If you read the article (url below) then you will know that people signing this letter are the kind of people India could do very well without. These men of low character and no accomplishments have taken it upon themselves to be the judge and jury on a man of admirable accomplishments and personal integrity (post Godhra massacre riots be GODDAMNED!).
Rajnath Singh has done a great disservice to Modi by raising this issue. Getting a US VISA is no certificate of character and ability. I can make a long list of Indian politicians who are criminals and have been to the US many times. The leftist brigade and the Christian lobby in the US have worked hard to deny Modi a US VISA. To that I say – No Big Deal. Modi does not need the US to perform as a CM of Gujarat. If the Americans do not want to be part of the Gujarat experiment then it is their loss. The Chinese, Brits, Germans and others are heavily invested in the state and are benefitting from it. In a small way, it is the US’s loss, not Modi’s.
What Rajnath Singh and the rest of the BJP should be focused on is winning the next general election. The US VISA issue should be ignored like the English and the Westernization debate. You see, if and when Narendra Bhai becomes the PM then the US White House will roll out the red carpet and the Indian liberals and Indian American Muslims will not be able to do anything about it except go hoarse.
Winning the next election is the solution to all the problems. The BJP and RSS old men would be well advised to remember that. They should realize that if Congress or (Gods Forbid) Third Party wins then entire India would be the loser with them in it.
