EARTHWORMS

Probably  the country needs war not one but many so that voice of army is heard by the civil servants.  . Some guys of course react that it was wishful thinking and out of frustration due to failure of civil government in reacting to demands of army. There is no frustration on this side. The real fact is that peace time army has no respect and also will have no respect especially in this land of oppertunists. This is truth whether some one likes or not. Many know this but out of modesty act as if not true or be a cat on the wall. They look other way. Many guys see Army as a waste of national resources. Are we maintaining army as a show piece as a safety factor? Second is rather true. We have already fought many wars and lost some major too. But for Army, Delhi would have been with Pakistan. In 1965, Field Marshal Ayub Khan declared that He would have breakfast at Rawalpindi and lunch at Delhi or something to that effect. It shows how poorly he assessed and how very confident he was. They were so confident when American Patton Tanks lumbered across the borders in hundreds. Army then has shown what it means with World War II vintage American built Shermans and British Centurions. Kudos to them. Some guys who  claim to be the only experts in modern tank warfare might feel happy in arm chairs without seeing a round being fired from a tank at enemy. Cheers to them. Leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri and Jagivan Ram, Defense minister had guts and in fact Indians could have good lunch with roasted chicken and beer at Lahore. I am sorry. We are Gandhians. No Chicken and beer. We should not say loud. Topiwallahs might get offended. We could have had some vegetables and goat’s milk, peeled bananas and Parathas in Lahore. Otherwise Gandhis soul would weep beating its chest and tearing clothes. We also would get into sins and land in hell................

SLAVISH MENTALITY

   Indians are very much at ease with dynastic succession.  The same is true for State leaderships and  more in central Governmnet leaderships. The very fact that Nehru dynasty has been ruling since  gaining independence except for few years in gaps is the ample proof.  Currently although PM's post is not accupied by  a Nehruvian,  the entire strings are being pulled from behind  by the   same family.  Now Rajeev's son is being groomed and projected to occupy the chair of Prime ministership of India.  With Indian sentiments and slavish attitudes and disposition this could  become true in future.  Although kings and emperrorors have vanished from the land a new dynasty is growing , rather alreday grown. Thanks to the  slavish and sychophant leaders who tend to be more camp followers in the party and in public. Indians  ahave aped western democratic practices for the purpose of theory. But in practice they are fully violated and western  values are dumped down the drain. These are reflected in the  poems:
