One of the main tasks that the corporate world did before bringing Modi to the chair of PM, is to kill or buy the media and human rights activists. The process of muzzling the media started with the finishing of ‘Tehelka’ paper. This paper has started a new discourse and order in journalism by conducting sting operation to expose corruption in the defense sector during the tenure of NDA government led by former PM Atal Bihari Vajapayee. The paper had written extensively about Gujarat genocide to ensure the voice of the victims was heard in the international arena.

One of the few commendable reforms during former PM Indira Gandhi’s time was nationalization of banks. Only after that bold step, did the banks that had restricted their services to rich, opened their doors to the poor people. When the impoverished went to banks for loans during the ‘loan melas’ that were held as part of that reform, people even mocked that Indira Gandhi was treating banks like her ancestral property. These loan melas were widely criticized and held responsible for the anticipated collapse in economy. But now, one is understanding in true sense as to who is looting the bank and where they are hiding from the public eye, escaping repayment.

Owing to the efforts of Special Investigation Team, a shocking plan made by anti-social elements to kill some of the great thinkers and writers of Kannada has been revealed. Looking at this list, anybody that has some amount of humanity in them would be shocked. Every true Indian, and every political party needs to think seriously about this development that has taken place in Karnataka, to target the rationalists and thinkers of the state. Writer Girish Karnad won the most prestigious Jnanpith award for Kannada. He not only held the name of Karnataka high in the map of Indian literature, he has transcended the map of state and shone bright on the world map too, representing India on international platforms.

BJP has suffered a loss of face having attempted to impose an unnecessary bundh on the state, to create embarrassment for the ruling party. The BJP has set up this comedy show of sorts to press for the demand of separate North Karnataka state, and create some sort of anarchy for the state government.

Some parts of Karnataka have suffered serious damage to property owing to torrential rains. In some other regions, there is scarcity of water owing to poor monsoon. 

Sangh Parivar and BJP know well enough that before splitting the country, one needs to divide the minds that are in solidarity. They have used this tactic during pre-independence and have even been successful at it. When the whole country was coming together in solidarity, the Hindutva nationalists saw the possibility of two nations. India was fighting hard for its independence under the leadership of Gandhiji, but the those who propagated Hindutva were drawing up a map of how the country could be split in the name of dharma.They planted insecurity among Muslims that they had to have their own nation; and the free India would be a nation that had Hindu dominance.

The concept of small states is not impractical. Several analysts have often opined that small countries and small states are conducive to progress and are more manageable than the large ones. Many political experts have also seen how smaller states have been able to make comprehensive improvement right from base level to upwards. So, when a cry for separate state arises, one need not dismiss it without a thought. In the last four decades, the number of states has always been increasing in India.

The general elections in the neighbouring Pakistan had evoked interest in India too for various reasons. Because, all the political situations and shifts in Pakistan have a considerable impact on India too. The establishment of strong democracy in Pakistan and its strengthening can prove to be beneficial for both countries. There was a reason to anxiously watch Pakistan election unfold with great interest. A group suspected to have deep links with the extremists was contesting in the Pakistan elections.
