Middle-class and Choice 

               

Dynasty syndrome does not end with politics or nation, it extends itself into the field of business also in the same way . But the implications are different and the stage is different despite parallels. More of this later The vast population of India is like  great cake ready to be eaten . But ,for the unfamiliar, only the icing is visible ,  The cake has its fruits and nuts and only the discerning observer can taste it and understand it. The nuts and bolts of Indian social fabric extremely loose and vulnerable and needs lots of lubrication and tightening at different joints which may also ask for some lubrication which only Indians can give 

. India has traveled far ,according to statistical calculations . But statistics is known to tell certain things with finality and it is ,most of the time, not very trustworthy. People of India are always subject to the ‘ FATE ‘ syndrome and it gets reflected in all spheres, This is why Indians can bear the weight of corruption rampant in all fields, even in religion and the institutions attached to it. This does not in any way mean that India is alone in this league.  It is an inevitable part of human society where any transaction happens with an element of suspicion and doubt about it , though ,sometimes unfounded.  

This is because of the lack of political will and professionalism .There is no detached excellence. among many of the people who run the business of politics. What we see today in the country is development in certain pockets but the pockets are isolated pockets and many privileged hands dip into it but millions of hands have no access to it. As somebody commented ‘ Let us run the nation like a corporate”. We have great examples of great Indian companies which have surged forward through unknown paths .to the astonishment and sometimes to the  dismay of cynics ,for which there is no dearth in India. The Indian middle class , with limited awareness of what they want , makes comments like:

                    “The state is at best a necessary evil and at worst a corrupt and inefficient system . We can easily do without it and run the country on corporate lines . This will help avoid the dirtiness of politics.”Do you accept it or reject it ..Choice is the privilege gifted to man but that is the danger .

 Women in India have symbolically proved to be evolving into a powerful force by winning medals in the OLYMPICS .All of them belong to middle class families who worked hard to win medals for India .Creating history in the present with tremendous power to extend its energy into the future is a thing that is not very common. Now it has almost become a habit for Indians to create history on a daily basis on all fronts .

The middle-class mass is the critical mass which everybody wants to have share. The BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID theory of the famous Indian management GURU . C.K Prahlad has become a much sought after idea which remains at the conceptual level. There is much truth in his famous theory and the multinational corporations get elated over the concept without knowing how to go near the bottom . There seems to be much distance between the pinnacle of the pyramid and the bottom of it .In fact the  Indian pyramid is much more inscrutable than the enigmatic pyramid of Egypt. Both are beauties in their own right  but one hides the dead and the other hides throbbing life which struggles to come out in the open

The INDIAN SOCIETY is unique with a mosaic of culture coexisting without any natural culture shocks. But there are enough artificial forces which bring in a lot of shocks in certain pockets which is sometimes a storm in the tea cup and other times something of a tsunami in the sea of humanity. Everybody runs the marathon race, and there is not much worry in anybody about the winning strategies because the inherent strength of Indian culture is patience and belief in fate and destiny.

 Perhaps our belief in a political system based upon dynastic system, though not special to India alone , might be a product of our thought process based upon these train of thought which has been fossilized in our interiors It is interesting to note that Fidel Castro ,who pushed the small piece of land ,called Cuba , into the international arena ,has also chosen the same route by appointing his brother to head  the nation.He may have have his own reasons for that .But things change and the USA and CUBA ,who were enemies for a
a long time have come together proving again that there cannot be permanent friends or enemies in politics or generally in life.   

 There are some more interesting parallels too. Castro used to be vociferous in the U.N delivering long speeches purely from his astonishing memory power. Our own Mr. Krishna Menon , former Defence Minister was also known for a similar skill. Perhaps there ends the similarity. Castro’s relationship with the erstwhile Soviet Russia has also some parallels with Indo- Soviet relationship   Our neighbor has also proved one point that both the countries have something in common at least in some respects But words do not have any meaning if they are not followed by deeds .Words do not have any private meaning when they have already been delivered in public through any media .
