Creative Paradise

You won’t imagine what happened yesterday. The head honcho of Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh, Mohan Bhagwat expressed his deep views on the hot topic of reservation and you won’t believe that he believes, that Reservation Policy should be revised, while maintaining the noble thought of providing the services to the needy. You don’t expect these serene thoughts from a leader of such an upright community. RSS is not a political outfit (you know what I mean, now), and the ideologies which it has are many a times debated on prime time and news hours.

The interesting point to note is, BJP distanced itself from the mentor’s statement. Ravi Shankar Prasad, presently the Union Communication Minister said, "It is BJP's firm commitment since Jan Sangh days that reservation is essential for social and economic development and empowerment of SCs, STs, backward and extremely backward castes. BJP is not in favour of any reconsideration of reservation being extended to these groups." Now, this is like two different statements altogether, one of Mohan Bhagwat and the other of Ravi Shankar Prasad. Well, the intentions were clear behind the latter’s statement, seeing the Bihar polls and tweet of Lalu Prasad Yadav, BJP can’t take the risk of openly supporting their mentor’s statement and they never will. The equation is clear, visible and simple. Its vote bank politics. A cancer which is killing the future of India out in open and the saddest part is that nobody is doing anything about it. And we like hungry dogs, we get greedy the moment we look at the baits, thrown at us by these politicians.

But this is love, eternal love. You know, opposites attract, and actually they complement each other. What RSS thinks sometimes BJP doesn’t and what BJP does, sometimes is critically looked upon by the RSS. But as the elections arrive, their love starts emerging in parties, in public gatherings, on movie screenings and where not. And what we like dumb asses make faces as if we are unable to understand anything and we don’t even know what is happening.
