Leaders Around the World are asking Modi Jee to Come Forward and Stop Ukraine Russia War Because They Consider Him a World Leader: BJP MP Hema Malini

[Joe Shearer]

No. Unless you call Hema Malini onion.

Mmm,

I can see he is a lady's man. Good for him. The lady's do like a man who knows a way with words.

Well that is hardly anything to do with his politics. As much as he is gifted in talk, and unlikely to be truly a man for genuine peace and cooperation, I have enjoyed his fair and overdue criticisms of Britain, the true evil and the source of Indian China tensions before new reasons grew legs of their own.

Now if India can have a Kishore Mahbubani, then I'd feel things could move in the right direction for more than just bilateral relations. But perhaps India has long had that in other forms already and all they have produced is a nation keen for a leader like Modi. Perhaps it is the conditions that position places on a person and the environment. Good leaders often can do nothing because of hidden interest groups.

It's a very long story. We started right, but look how it is today.

1. We had educated leaders, who 'did' the British down to a T. They formed associations, held meetings, drafted exquisitely worded petitions and addressed large audiences, used oratory of exceptionally high standards, passed resolutions, and all went home happy. The British paid not the slightest attention.
   (all right, I know that is not correct, but would anyone still be reading, if I'd written, "The British were much impressed")
2. Gandhi returned in 1915, and captured the imagination of the 80% of India that lived in the villages, with his religious overtones. People hated him for it, but it worked. The masses mobilised. Nobody had done this to India before; it was always about the kings and the great men - and the priests. For the first time since the Buddha and since Mahavira, here was somebody talking to people.
3. He continued to be quirky. Some of the things that he did on the way were horrible, ghastly. Now here's the thing. He didn't stay where he started. He thought about everything that he had done, thought about everything he was about to do, and he changed. He was a work-in-progress.
4. After India got independent, after against his wishes and hopes and prayers, a portion of the country went out and became quite independent, and after a fanatic Hindu belonging to the same organisation as Modi killed this unarmed, defenceless man, the rest of the people who carried out his direction tried to figure out what they should do - what Gandhi would have asked them to do. India evolved her own style, internally and externally.
5. Meanwhile, those who had done nothing for freedom, those who were busy picking up bits of second hand western social and cultural beliefs and translating them into Indian terms, organised themselves. Then they started telling people who should be an Indian and who shouldn't, and it was all about religion. Religion gets to the people of India, remember? Finally, Gandhi's 32 years of teaching was unravelled in 67 years of teaching people to hate other people, including women and children.
6. That is what we have today.

I don't know how well or how badly this fits your vision of things. It will be interesting to know, if you decide to talk about it.

Most bjp Mps are always good for a laugh .

Tankmen are not wordsmiths. What he means is not a laugh with them. He means a laugh at them.
