[Goanet] Can non-resident Indians please shut up?
Can the people of Indian origin not living in India please shut up? They seem to have an opinion about everything and anything that is happening in and to Mother India. Sitting in the comfort of their Dollar and Pound and Euro ensconced cushiness, they have the temerity to tell Indians in India about what is right and what is wrong. https://www.dailyo.in/politics/nris-intolerance-aamir-khan-narendra-modi-rajnath-singh-people-of-indian-origin-ocis-pseudo-nationalism/story/1/7685.html

Re: [Goanet] [Goanet-News] Open Letter: Quo vadis AAP... just what the hell is the top leadership smoking? (Dr Oscar Rebello)
On 17 March 2015 at 18:44, Goanet Reader goanetrea...@gmail.com wrote: QUO VADIS AAP: JUST WHAT THE HELL IS THE TOP LEADERSHIP SMOKING? Dr Oscar Rebello campalhealthservi...@gmail.com docosca...@rediffmail.com My dear Team AK / Team YY-PB: Permit me to introduce myself. I am an ordinary AAP volunteer from the state of Goa. I haven't quit my job as yet to dive headlong into the world of politics, but many of my friends have. Cheerfully (and often despondently), they are building the organization in the state, brick by brick: step by step and heartbreak by heartbreak. Presumptuously, I have taken it upon myself to speak for them. And the one overwhelming question that is driving a dagger in our hearts, at the moment, is this: Just what the hell is the top AAP leadership in Delhi smoking? Why has it induced this inexplicable crash after that dizzy high of Delhi 2015? Why this messy split in the marriage, when the family is still young and the kids are still learning to take their baby steps? With due respect to Dr. Oscar, I would like to submit my views on what he has said; I do not doubt his sincerity or acumen. But definitely I cannot say the same thing about the persons he talks about. To understand this, let us first get some indisputable facts on the table. FACT 1: There can be no question that Arvind Kejriwal (AK), despite his eccentricities, is our lodestar. In Ashutosh's memorable words, our undisputed gladiator and hope. Almost single handedly, he navigated our creaking, wooden boat to a resounding victory defeating the mighty flotillas of the BJP/Congress. His sincerity, leadership and passion is simply unrivalled. All that was achieved by the meteoric rise of AAP was offering India to BJP on a platter. FACT 2. Yogendra Yadav(YY) and Prashant Bhushan (PB) are easily, two of the most enlightened minds in the country. Unyielding in their conviction of ideology, they are men of a million ideas. Many of these ideas may be outdated and exasperating to the younger generation, but their integrity and unbridled love for AAP can never be doubted. And certainly they can never be painted as some evil, conniving Darth Vaders slyly walking around with a nuclear arsenal, out to torpedo our Starship Enterprise to Utopia. None of us buy into this silly argument. They were only asking relevant, pertinent questions. If we cannot answer them, the least we owe them is an explanation. AK, from the very beginning, when he joined the movement for Lokpal, he showed symptoms of a craving dictatorship - both personal power and acute lack of faith in democracy. I am happy that the movement fizzled out. Its success on the lines envisaged by AK would have been the death of democracy. FACT 3: Delhi 2015 was like the magical elixir of life for all of us. It reinforced our belief that the idea of AAP was not just alive, but kicking and kicking real hard. Reverentially (but not sycophantically) we must acknowledge that the credit for this resurrection of AAP goes to AK. Without him, we'd be buried for a long time, and if Delhi 2015 were not to happen, we'd probably enjoy the same relevance as a vaudeville act in ISIS controlled Iraq and Syria. Once again, what the AAPs second win in Delhi has achieved is reinforcing BJP's conviction that it is the only voice of sanity in the midst of fools and rogues. But then, is Delhi 2015, our only goal post? Or are we aiming to shoot faster, higher and stronger, in the near future? Hence, if these are all undeniable facts, what then is the genesis of this macabre display of the unbelievable absurd, unfolding in Delhi, almost on a sickeningly daily basis? The answer to my mind lies in the proverbial, titanic clash between the 'Theory' and the 'Practicals' of our politics. The 'Theory' of our politics, that YY and PB are prepared to defend to the death, consists of absolutely no compromise with any candidate, with even a light shade of gray in their character -- forget 50 shades. But in this ruthless world of politics, is any elbow space for maneouver permitted, to ensure victory at the hustings? Is self righteousness the only antidote to corruption? That is the practical question. Because, 'practical' (electoral) politics is a different, unkind kettle of fish altogether. Here, the art of negotiation and compromise is necessary. A little bit of 'jugaad' here and there, so long as you don't lose sight of the larger picture, which is transparent and accountable politics -- the calling card of AAP. It would have been so much more prudent, if once in power, Team AK and Team YY would have expended their energies to set up and strengthen institutions to oversee honest governance in
