write politics


Should a love story be written in this time of no love?
I only want to write about what is happening. It should be possible.
For eg:
On why it would be the Congress's failure if the Left does not come on board. 
What the Modi government's time did to us, is it threw us into an intense tizzy over things. Everything was shaken from under all our feet. In a way, it did bring us together in that feeling, we all felt shaken. 
When that happens, an advantage is -- nobody is on firm ground. 
So though the BJP under Modi/Shah initially went only for the Congress, that was because during the elections and before it, you only need to go after your political adversary. The methods Modi's BJP adopts are brutal.
So, after the election, a few years the BJP tried to keep it in that mode, but like Jignesh says, it started getting boring.
Slowly, slowly they started going for everyone. 
However, getting back to the Congress. So in the time when we feel shaken, what do we do? We quickly get the sense of what's going on, and try and resolve all our internal differences to come together, right?
But the Congress and Left cannot do that without the Congress having to admit that the Left has its value in this country. 
There is a tendency to write the Left off, saying it is a Western concept, and that it has no value in this country.
If the Congress holds on to it current view of the Left, there is no way the Left can join with the Congress. And hence it would be the Congress's failure. 
The Left truly has nothing to lose. It has always been saying the same thing, no matter who the leader, it has a book that it abides by. Its history is as rich in India as the Congress's is. There is no way the Congress can get away with feeling superior in any way, and especially it would not in the name of family now, thanks again to Modi. 
The matter is of utmost urgency it would seem but it is not an issue that can be solved by the sense of urgency. Thanks to the thousands of things that are going on, which we seem to be tiding fine and totally not ready to give up whoever the hell we are, no matter gets our urgent attention for more than a few moments. The next matter comes on, which too needs urgent attention. 
So the onus is not on the Left.
Because the Left is in a good mood to just die.
