Indians in twenty first
century India are realising the irrelevance of Nehru and the increasing relevance
of Mahatma Gandhi in their everyday lives. Despite the best efforts of Nehru
dynasty to highlight and keep alive the allegations about the remote
association of Godse with the rightist forces that have come to power with an
overwhelming majority, every sensible Indian have come to recognise the
importance of having a Right government to lead the nation with the Gandhian
vision of Ramarajya. The complete neglect of rural India by the Nehruvian craze
for pseudo-secularism is the single element that has kept India down so far.
Mahatma Gandhi realised
early in his political career that the only way to get the Indian nation back
into its glory is through transforming its rural people and agrarian economy in
a righteous path. Throughout his career he kept on highlighting his real feel
for the poor farmers and the downtrodden much more than the importance for
power and parliament. It was the tussle between the power mongers like Jinnah
and Nehru that resulted in partition and the subsequent efforts of Nehru to
establish his own dynasty overlooking the real needs and aspirations of a great
nation eager to regain its lost glory once again. Power hungry Nehru and his progeny
was interested only in their ‘secular’ image by creating vote banks in line
with their colonial masters.
It took almost half a
century for the right mix of people, ideology and attitude to come to power in
India. It is a strange coincidence that the real successor to Gandhian ideology
in the form of an ordinary tea vendor who rose to become the undisputed leader
in world’s largest democracy has come from the same background as Mahatma
Gandhi. While the well-wishers of this great nation are eagerly waiting for the
great turn-around, the selfish supporters of the dynasty and the entire
spectrum of anti-national forces are working overtime to derail Modi’s
strategies, programmes and efforts to leap ahead. Mahatma’s wishes will blossom
through Modi’s efforts only if he can effectively neutralise the machinations
of an irrelevant Nehruvian opposition.
