‘Gods’ of Earth

‘Gods’ of Earth

If supreme God has created this universe and its’ all the creatures, Netas have, categorically, created countries, and thus they control the destiny of all the human beings on the earth

By Mukesh Sharma

The teeming millions were spurred to vote in the name of democracy to elect their so called ‘representatives’ in the recently concluded general election in India. Further, over 8000 formally invited VIP guests witnessed the ceremonial ‘coronation’ of a few blessed elected eligibles as Hon’ble Prime Minister and ministers in the palatial precinct of Rastrapati Bhavan, well in accordance with the holy ‘rule book.’ And, as usual the poor populace which is eulogized as ‘masters’ by the netas, remained glued to TV channels and watched the grand and gala show of deification of ‘servants’ as Gods of India. Needless to say, the situation is same throughout the world, and collectively, the netas of all the countries can be called as ‘ Gods’ of the earth.

Virtual 'Gods' of the Earth

If supreme God has created this universe and its’ all the creatures, the netas have categorically created the countries, and thus they control the destiny of all the human beings. A few such Indian ‘gods’ are alleged to have bifurcated India into Pakistan and Hindustan. Dance of death and destruction can be seen in many parts of the world being ravaged by war or civil wars: Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, Somalia, Nigeria, Sudan, Libya, Pakistan, Egypt, Congo, Yemen and Ukraine. Of course, it is not Supreme God but these virtual gods of earth who are responsible for the sorry plight of the people across the world.

The agnostics maintain that unseen god is just a religious perception; no living man has ever seen the God; no living man has ever met the God. The belief is born when material logic ends. God is just an indispensable hope of the weak man. Since man is a creature of hope and he breathes and lives by hope, in fact the hope is personified as God.

The believers contend that God has made the sun, the earth, the moon and all the visible or invincible, known or unknown innummerable planets and stars, and of course the whole boundless universe. However, one of the most respected and renowned members of scientists fraternity and a vocal champion of the ‘Big Bang’ theory Stephen Hawking says: “I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, it is not the work of any so-called God.”

Anyway, let us not get into this endless debate who created this universe. But one thing is crystal clear that these netas have drawn the geographical boundaries on the earth, and have divided this beautiful planet into countries. Today earth houses 195 countries. Obviously, these netas are the gods of their respective countries.

Once ‘defied’, these ‘gods’ visit their ‘temples’ (ministries) with all airs and graces. The ‘temple’ is decked up with flowers. The army of assistants of these ‘gods’, usually known as principal secretaries, additional secretaries, joint secretaries etc. line up at the very entrance to welcome the ‘god’ with bouquets. Such is the sanctity of these sanctum  sanctoriums that no common man can ever dare to dream to enter.

Whenever, these gods move in or out of their respective  temples, they are followed by the convoy of cars occupied by gun-totting well-touted commandos, surprisingly, for the security of the gods. A commoner can’t get even near to these gods; any misadventure shall send the intruder to jail.

These gods are truly omnipresent; wherever they go or whatever they do, can be seen on TV channels from any corner of the earth. These gods are truly omniscient; they have answers to all the question of journos or the people; they sound like oracles. These gods are truly omnipotent; they can move heaven and earth just by fluttering their eyelashes.

Evidently enough, the supposedly supreme God can only create celestial bodies or the creatures inhabiting such bodies, but these virtual gods of earth control the destiny of the creatures; they have full control over the past, present and future of the poor earthlings. 

A Portrait of PM

A Portrait of PM

The people don’t want any Lame duck, Accidental PM, ‘Pappu’ PM or any ‘Family’ PM; they want a peerless leader of democracy – a true PM of India who can make both nation and its people happy; he must be spotless like star

By Mukesh Sharma

Democracy begins with the ‘votes’ and ends with the ‘numbers’ in India. Anyone with numbers in his/her favour can be anointed as Prime Minister/ Pradhan Mantri even without contesting or winning a single Lok Sabha election. Not the common wish of the people but the coveted numbers cobbled up by hook or crook make one PM. And that is why India has witnessed with awe and rues many sitting duck PMs -   Indra Kumar Gujral, H.D. Deve Gowda, Chandra Shekhar, Charan Singh, Morarji Desai, Guljarilal Nanda who couldn’t last even their full term. Before the incumbent government, India had a PM who never won any Lok Sabha election and remained allegedly a “PROXY” PM for 10 years. Keeping in view the recent Kolkata jamboree and if media reports are to be believed, India may be foisted with a “pappu” PM in future. It is vain to look for silver and gold in the mine of iron and lead. However, the majority of Indian populace cherishes an ideal portrait of an Indian PM.

Prime Minister 2019

Charismatic personality

With charm and charisma, PM must be blessed with charismatic personality. Standing tallest among the leaders, his gait must exude confidence of a disciplined soldier. With elated chest and head in high-esteem, he must be able to see the world leaders straight in their face and command a respect; grey in experience but with a young heart of gold.

Man of soil

The people ideate a PM who must be the man of soil; he must look at the rivers and mountains of land with the reverence; he must be very well acquainted with all the ‘seasons’ and ‘crops’; he must have the knowledge of all the flora and fauna of the land; he must know how to make the ‘marigold’ bloom and flourish even in the roughest weather, and hold it with all care and caress. To him, Bharat must not just be a piece of land with geographical boundaries but a motherland and her honour dearer than life.

Man of masses

As a man of masses, would-be PM must be able to interact with the people in their simple tongue; he must understand not only their requirement of hours but also the demand of the future; he must know their wants and wishes; he must feel their pain and pleasure.

A good salesman

Under the steermanship of PM, Indian soil must produce more than the people can consume; factories must manufacture more than the people need to enable India to have a sizable share in foreign trade. China has made remarkable progress due to its manufacturing units ever churning out everything from needle to rocket for the world market. It is a fact that all the big and prosperous nations owe their prosperity to small and poor nations. All the heads of rich countries also look after the political and commercial interest of their respective countries while maintaining the relations with developing or underdeveloped nations. To rich nations, the poor nations are just customers. Indian PM must also be a good ‘salesman’; he must be able to generate orders in international market for Indian products. PM must see that national debt must be paid through the prosperity of the people; he must see that the money must be made not by law but by labour. PM’s entire team must be engaged in earning wealth for the country and spend it for the welfare of the people.

A man of courage

The people wish to see their PM as a man of superb moral courage who prefers reformations to radicalism; a man of intelligence; a man of integrity above suspicion; he should not be just a good leader but also a good statesman; he should be a diplomat of par excellence who knows well how to maintain relations of his government with the government of other nations, keeping the interest of own country at top.

A Commander

During war time, God forbids, if war is imposed on India, PM must be able to act like a commander; a silver tongue orator like Demonsthene leading the people and army from the front; must be able to goad the armed forces to achieve even impossibilities, and make the countrymen stand-by the army like bedrock.

The hapless Indian populace has already suffered a lot. The Britisher ravaged and plundered for 200 years. And now the people allege that ‘netas’ have been looting and booting the poor populace since independence. The people are sick of ‘POLITICS’ of crimination, recrimination, name-calling, self-preservation, self-aggrandizement and ‘gang-fight’ in the august House of the Parliament. The people wish to live as a respectable member of public rather than as beggars living off government doles.

Needless to say,the people don’t want any lame duck PM, accidental PM, “Pappu” PM or any “Family” PM; they want a peerless leader of democracy – a true PM of India who can make both nation and its people happy; he must be spotless like star.
