Samajvaadas a slogan has been decidedly upstaged by Vikas and thankfully cultural heritage means much more than just the Taj Mahal (which needless to say is also a case of cultural appropriation in as much that at the heart of architectural marvel lay the then-extant superlative skills of the Bharatiya shilpakaar and shilpakala themselves.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the headstart given by PM Vajpayee, though punctuated by the scam-a-day ridden misgovernance and policy-paralysis stricken machinations of the Sonia Gandhi led UPA (with Manmohan Singh as the rubber stamp, “accidental” Prime Minister), is being furiously capitalized on. Sreedharan led design and development of the Delhi Metro that has become a template of excellence in urban transport infrastructure development across India and acknowledged the world over and needless to mention the deft handling of the Indian economy, thereby inoculating it from the economic contagion and shocks of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Vajpayee gently shook the deeply entrenched stasis in governance through sweeping and path-breaking reforms that still reverberate through the urban, social and economic fabric of India – the Golden Quadrilateral that heralded the infrastructure boom in India which still continues and which in turn spawned the continuing stock market boom, the Indian Electricity Act that was transformational for the comatose and dysfunctional Indian electricity sector deep in financial crises, the E. It was not until Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee that the first serious autonomous attempts were made to unseat the Nehruvian (Fabian Socialist) Consensus. before the Islamic invasion of Bharat.Īll that misgovernance tantamounted to clinical destruction of epic proportions and led to the severe national economic crisis of 1991 when PM Narsimha Rao was left with no other viable option but to liberalize the economy. Indeed, under the reign of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, pliable and beholden opinion builders, always eager to find a stick with which to beat the followers of Hindu Dharma and thereby subjugate the cultural and dharmic fabric and Civilizational identity of Bharat and in order to deflect the attention from the incompetence of the Marxist-Missionary-Mullah incumbent power matrix, fabricated the term “Hindu Rate of Growth” and popularized it worldwide to demean Her economic prowess and hide the fact that a Hindu Bharat stood at 29% of world GDP in 1021 years ago, i.e. Under the façade of Ram Manohar Lohia’s ideals of “Socialism”, which proved to be a chimera and became a symbolic slogan to milk the electoral cow, dynastic rule instead was perpetuated (by the Nehru-Gandhi and other regional political families such as the Akhilesh Yadav clan in Uttar Pradesh), crony capitalism was encouraged, rampant corruptionwas widespread in land, water and air through innovative methods of rent seeking, kickbacks and commissions, the tweezer grip of the ‘State’ over factors of production was mainstreamed, the consequent criminal inefficiencies of the public sector enterprises (the going joke was that MTNL meant ‘Mera Telephone Nahi Lagega’) was tolerated and bankrolled by the honest taxpayer, brain drain was neglected, reliance on foreign technology was recommended (because, lucrative kickbacks and commissions), low innovation as characterized by low national investment in R&D became the order of the day, a dilapidated health and sanitation infrastructure was conspicuous more by its absence and last but not least, given the Fabian ideological moorings of India’s developmental discourse thanks to Nehru, the nation was culturally deracinated from its ancient ethos and plunged like a square peg into the round hole of the Fabian ideas of the Western construct that were not just anathema to the world’s oldest and continued civilizational roots of Bharat but as a matter of fact militated against it.
Narendra Modi is building Atmanirbhar Bharat on the same foundation Shashanka Shekhar Pandaīharatvarsha, over the last seven decades, has suffered immeasurably under the burden of Nehurvian Fabian Socialism and has had to settle for an abjectly sub-optimal and in fact minimalist realization of its true potential. Atal Bihari Vajpayee gently shook the deeply entrenched stasis in governance through sweeping and path-breaking reforms.
